Owned this car 4yrs now and still enjoy it as my daily. Quick enough for me and looks I like.
Its was a sloppy old boat until I was forced to change the suspension. I opted for the H&R Cup Kit 40mm drop (non coilovers) and also got it fully polybushed with Powerflex bushes. Such a huge difference and feels more stable.
I decided to keep the car and use it on track, which I am yet to do until I have fitted other parts.
I have replaced all 4 calipers for new units, as well as new Jurid discs/pads and Goodridge brake lines with copper piping. I have RBF600 fluid to go in.
I joined Track Time on facebook and got chatting to a nice chap called Paul Harvey, who amazingly 'gave' me his old mk4 Golf track car which still had everything: big brakes, full cage, seats, coilovers, arb, strut brace, exhaust and more.
Only thing was its a 1.8t so some parts I cant use but I am able to move on when I have stripped it. Massive thanks to Paul again.
So far the car sits as a fairly standard daily until my house move is sorted, I'll have more time and space to make it a dedicated track car. So its a slow build unfortunately.
But I will still attend events with the camera and hopefully meet other like minded people.
