Similar project to mine, although mine will be at a slower rate. You have an advantage with having a KO3S already, thats one of the upgrades i want to do.

Will keep an eye on your progress.

Cheers mate have you started a project thread

To be honest mate I have the better turbo but your internals are stronger ko3 are good for about 190 not sure How much power your after

This evening cleaned and hoovered the recaros ready to fit

[Vw nut]

I know not to sure what the beef is with them people say the handling is rubbish but I find it good it's no lotus exige but it's good enough

[Vw nut]

Yeah, the bushes were getting a bit perished so I lobbed a load of power flex stuff at it.
I bought it to replace an E46 318ci that I bought as I couldn’t find a nice unmessed with Golf. It took me 18 months to find that one.
Replaced it with an E46 330ci.

Would have another Mk4 1.8t, they’re much better than people say.

Can you remember mate what poly bushes you put on the golf

Think I am going to have to sell or swap my 18 inch Porsche reps which is a shame because they are mint good tyres too but being 5x112 going to have to use 20mm adapters and that's fine on the rear but the fronts that's just too wide with being a 8j wheel as well

[Vw nut]

Thinking about it I think they are going to catch the front arch if anyones got any advice/ or knows people that run 8j on the front with a 15mm spacer let us know cheers

[Vw nut]

Sorry to hear that mate power wise 150 is ok but with a remap and some mods hoping for 240

[Vw nut]

Just make some custom speaker adapters for my front JBL components which I will fit at the weekend once I fit all my dynomat

[Vw nut]

So this afternoon I decided to dewiper the golf what a easy job took me about 30 mins started like this
And finished like this really happy

And these were the only tools I used

Can’t beat a Mk4 Golf, I’ve had at least 1 of every type from a 1.4 to 3 R32s and everything in between.

Yours looks like a nice example, stock or reliatively unmolested ones are few and far between

3 r32s very lucky

[Vw nut]

Can't say I've ever been in one or driven one but they sound lovely maybe one day

[Vw nut]

So tomorrow going to be fitting my upper S3 strut brace what's the best way of doing it any tips just need to find the lower one now

[Vw nut]

So today I went ahead a fitted my S3 strut brace to the MK4 really happy with it I think it does make a difference might just be me but looks good and was easy to fit just need the lower one now
Also gave it a clean afterwards

[Vw nut]

Brought it when I was over the us this year not to sure you can get it over here
