bugn8r Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hey guys, I've had this golf for around a year now and have done a lot to it. When I picked it up it wouldn't idle what so ever and just didn't run well generally, timing was so out. Kept cutting out (electrical problems as well) had AA get it going 3 times before I got it home (9 hour drive). That's basically as it's had a 1.6 KJET swapped in over the original 1.1 carby and had a lot of missing parts. Good increase in power but want to do something bigger down the road. Finally lowered it on $300 coilovers from china haha Really like how it sits but is quite bouncy, can't complain for $300 I've had the 4x114 volks for ages but could never run them all around as adapters made them stick out too much, finally found a set of 4x100 on Trademe for $80 (selling as trailer wheels) which are perfect for the front then 15mm adapters on the back. I highly recommend deathmat with ccf as I had to but earmuffs for the drive home, it use to be so fuckin loud with all original insulation stuff removed by the last owner. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugn8r Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Turns out coilovers settle a good few cm and the car is now far too low on the little 13's. I hit and scrape everything so car will be raised but not too much haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugn8r Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Not really an update or anything, just some photos taken at the VASK meet last week (not by me).You will be able to see how much higher the car is now, much better for everyday use.
