Post by: WeeChelleGTi on December 01, 2016, 10:37:26 pm
Hey guys, not really posted on here before! Had my car 2 years now & its been a great car.

Done a few mods so far..

K&N typhoon intake
3" turbo back exhaust (custom downpipe & decat) cobra non res catback
Custom map
FK AK Street Coilovers (This will be coming off next year to upgrade them)
MTEC drilled & grooved discs & Mintex pads
Merc AMG wheels - Have my monzas back on for the winter!

Let me know what you think..  :happy2:

I've always said I wouldn't get a red car but wanted this in red for some reason  :signLOL: mines is a 55 plate so a few years old now, I can't say I've had any fade but I look after my cars pretty well so couldn't say I've had a problem! I have had some panels re sprayed due to rust tho.

I can't fault them tbh, we actually put them on our evo X first then when the golf needed brakes we just went for the same brand, the drift car now has them too. So 3 cars have them & never had a problem  :smiley:

Gold on red... it's something I've been thinking about for a while, and this proves it can look good. If I ever get the itch to replace my VZs I might go for gold. Or get the VZs refurbed in a subtle gold..

Any idea what coilovers you'll be upgrading to? And I take it the ride of the FKs is a little rough?

Nice motor.

FK's are ok for typical driving etc but I'm hoping to be tracking the car next year so want better coilovers for that, the cars already stripped out for drag racing but will be putting bucket seats and harnesses in :)

One day maybe. Got to get the bigger brakes on and decide on a turbo first.
