4 P's (Plan, Prepare, Proceed and PHUCK YEAH)

I'm doing up my Golf Mk 3 and could use some advice and help

when i bought it, the car was stock and so far I've only put in a stereo, got a smaller steering wheel from a Golf CL 5 door and put a new Gear know on as the old one was wrecked.

I'm going to respray the whole car matte black but i'm waiting till summer as i don't want to get halfway through and the weather feels like kicking me in the junk and rains.

I'm a new driver but my car kicks out a lot when cornering fast (this i have worked out lol) and i want some ideas what i can do to make the car handle better, preform better and look better without voiding the Insurance as i don't want to start forking out more money each month.

So far I've came up with cleaning up and painting my steelies and putting some GTI suspension on it as its more or less unnoticeable if someone came around to inspect if i crash (touch wood).

So Mighty Welsh VAGERS any ideas???

wider wheels and a lower profile tyre..
polybushes..
antiroll bars (add them or thicken them up if they have them)
strut braces.
some quality make tyres..

get suspenion of the vr6, recon it might be stiffer as its a heavier car maybee
put a 1.6 bottom end on it if they fit, get some head wrk done

airbox modding maybee

gti or vr6 interior bits

vr6 brakes

Get some Black bilsteins off a diesel....... then eibach springs to suit your car. If you do go and wack springs off vr6 ect ect u will not get any better performance as the springs have been made to the weight of the vr6. Get diesel or even vr6 struts..... and then springs that go with the car.....don't get "universal" springs once that does the hole range of golf mk3....... in my books there ain't such thing and the car will still handle wank. Then if you still see the need to carry on you could go for uprated bushes.... wich you can now get in black which looks oem, then go for a thicker anti roll bar maybe, again get an oem one.

if your a new driver perhaps learn to corner at slower speeds??

i got some gti alloys for sale
just dont tell your insurance hahahahah

Spanky's opinion and magical mystical ways is-

1- Do the car up to fuck, do whatever you want.
2-Dont crash.

Liking it but i notice one flaw . . . . . . . . .

I can go without crashing my car but what if someone steals my car, or crashes into me????

If someone steals my car id lose the money i put into it and if someone crashed into me i'd get fuck all

Might as well keep a car fairly standard if you're a new driver, only a 1.4 MK3 Golf Ive got too, your first car is meant to be crashed/ragged to pieces!

their not ment to be crashed, but tbf i crashed mine lol

Not what I ever aimed to do either but that's what most dope's do, rag it 'til death

Had 130k miles on the clock when i got it and ive put over 2k on it since Feb so its probably on its last legs

I'll second that tbh. We don't need more stupid drivers bringing the insurance prices up even more now do we, hmm...

Dont be boring Llyr! We live on WRC roads round ere!

Still not the point, I drive "sensibly" on roads im unsure of i dont just give it the boot where ever i am,
Even on the dyserth bends, ive done them must be 50+ times already, and i still dont go over 30 on them!
It will come through experience, but getting your back end out shouldnt be number one priority if so your in the wrong car, get a BMW or something Jap

No no no
And by all means I dont encourage unsafe speeding such as in schooled areas etc.

I know where a lot of you are coming from and the only times ive ever exceeded the limit is when ive gone over by a margin going down hills or when i'm on roads i know and aren't filled with potential risks to other people....

And I am getting a Jap car i will be getting one of 4 possible cars next, Mk 4 Golf, Honda Civic EJ, Honda Accord, Honda Del Sol i may have more to choose from when the time comes but at the moment those are my choices

Remember, the Golf was the original "Hot-Hatch" they were built in mind for speed as well as practicality not all this "Low and slow" crap, we're driving Volkswagens in Wales not Escalades in Miami.

u can get the back end of a vag out, golf mk2s luve sideways lol

if its quattro it can drift


in my opinion dangrous driving shud never be encouraged (as spanky said) but u can get ure laughs by stikig to the limit, some places in wales u cant even stik to the liimit, all i can say is if ure gonna drive like idiots stay to ure side of the road, never cut the corner and never ever speed through a built up area, hit a kid and im pretty sure ull wish it was u,,,


and my opnion like long stretches now wats the crac of people obsesed with top ends :s u hit the spead then wat u gta slow down, waste of money

hard accelerating (i cant say sod all cus i like being pushed back into the seats lol)


hmm ive frgten wat i was rambling bout lol Ahh u can go sideways in a vag lol

Thank you Rhys!

i dnt know wat ive written haha

but im guessing ur eon about the roads part god bleess closed road rallyings
