JBOB 0 Posted March 28, 2007 1999 1.8 20v Turbo Mk4 Golf 20vt (150) Metallic green 18 x 8.5 BBS LM Recaro interior Climate Control Since I sold my Corrado at the weekend I needed to find a new car. Id been looking around for a while for a Black/20vTurbo/3 door/Mk4 Golf but for some reason 3 door cars are like hens teeth !!!!!!!!!!! I didn’t want to compromise on any other details but I really like the dark green and grey Golfs and found this car on PistonHeads (10min after the owner had posted it lol) Ive got loads planned already set for the car inc dropping the wheels off with Pureklas on Saturday morning to be polished and ive bought some coilovers today so its going low very soon. It drives spot on and the only 2 faults ive found so far are the stupid Bailey dumpvalve that goes WWWOOOOOOOOOSSSSHHHH with only a very slight lift of the gas !!!!! and the starter motor has just about packed in but I got some money off the car to cover the cost (and more :D :D ) Watch this space for updates soon ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JBOB 0 Posted March 28, 2007 Cheers guys :D Yep a few plans in the pipeline :lol: The tyres are 225/40/18 8) You cant really tell in the pics but the car is really really dirty !!! It was dirty when I collected it :roll: and it was just 10min after the 250mile trip back from Norfolk. I think it looks good in the pics so when Ive done the clay/polish and wax it should look even better 8) 8) :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JBOB 0 Posted August 26, 2007 Been a while :oops: I see my old Corrado has been sold on by the guy who bought it from me. Last seen by my mate in Coventry .......... anyone else seen it ????????? Loads of updated pics of the Mk4 :shock: :lol: Ive changed the rear lights more than once and settled for the M3 style ones 8) also some Anniversary style front lights for £60 brand new on Ebay :shock: Seeing as ive always been in two minds about the wheels, ive been on the lookout for something else :roll: I bought these a couple of days ago Three piece Mirror polished Mercedes AMG 8.5 x 17 front + 10 x17 rears 8) I should have some tyres next week ........ that’s if im not working ALL the time :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JBOB 0 Posted March 13, 2008 Bloody hell I haven?t updated this thread in ages lol Right ............. The car didn?t make it to UD so that?s 3 years in a row a car of mine hasn?t gone :confused4: :( :( :( All was set for it to be ready but last Saturday I became ill so didn?t put it back together in time. Im still ill now and some of you might have seen me wondering around UD looking like poop lol This is how the car was two days ago and how it has been for the last few weeks !!!!! Ive been working on quite a few things like wheels but they were a bit wide for the back So ive had the back of the wheels machined down 10mm and the adaptors are now 20mm (25 before) Ive also put some -1.5deg shims on the back from Regal. Better but ill get all four on until I pass judgement lol Front end is going Bora 8) Bit dirty atm though !! Ive also fitted a showcage Retrimed the headlining in back and replaced all the interior plastics with black :grin: :lol: Ive got a whole lot more things going on and ill update this asap :ignore: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
