Title: Help me i'm sliding . . . . . . . . .
Post by: Jono76 on March 16, 2010, 07:18:00 pm
down the slippery slope to bankruptcy and divorce  :ashamed: :ashamed:

After convincing myself that i wouldn't mod my Golf i've started down the long and deadly slope.

It all started so innocently:-

18 inch Monza's - should have come with them anyway!!!

S3 front brakes - safety item so don't count as a proper mod!?!

Xenon headlamps - again safety related (?) so don't count!!


Unfortunately after today's trip to Awesome I can't rationalise the following work:-

Front Neuspeed ARB

Rear Neuspeed ARB

WALK

APR Stage 1 Map


Is there a cure to this dreadfull disease or should I resign myself to the fact that I will be living on bread and cheese and sending my kids to work 'down the pit' for ever more?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Mate, i toppled over the edge of the slope 9 years ago, 5 Dubs, 1 Audi and enough cash to buy a small African republic later and i'm still sliding...

Give in, accept the inevitable and enjoy the ride...  :signLOL:

Don't say that, I was hoping it could be cured by a simple jab or pill  :sad1: :sad1:

I only took my Golf TDI 140 in for a service in Jan 2007 and look where I am now. I'm not on the slope - I fell into an Abyss :grin:

In April 09 I only wanted to fit the K04 i had bought cheap.
it only led to:

APR IC
APR RSC TBE
APR HPFP
Lsd
R3 brakes
KW V3
and lots of other small bits and bobs

This forum has a baaaad influence on you  :P

There is a cure to modding but its very expensive !

Go and get a loan, buy everything you want for it, fit it, and bang cured.!
