Have done no modifications to this car. bought it at 52000 from one lady owner (i bet she drove it over 40 mph). It just feels so new and pulls buckets. Had it for 2 years now. The more I read about modifications, the more I am reluctant to do it. I need to research what parts I need to compliment (tunnig for example); sureley, you need to change some parts if you modify hwo the car handles. I just need to read more.
on my MK2, I put a new suspension, lowered by 30mm, 16inch alloys, new sport exhaust. Changed all cabling to either silicon (inside engine) or steel type for the brakes. New brake discs (grooved and drilled), all round. I love driving this car. It is in garage now and heavily locked with alarm system, 6 attempts to steal it (not that difficult on these cars). this is a genuine 1988/89 GTI MK2 (not modified to look like one as I see a lot in my area) and no power steering. Engine only did 77000. I am reluctant to change anything else. I might port the cylinder head at 100000.
Thanks for the welcome again.
