HalfOfZero Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 What a clean wee Arouser man! You should be proud!! Need MOAR LOWZ! But that's just me lol. There's some threads (Read: Countless) on here about coilovers.. If I remember right I have FK's... some people say you're best to get the best, but if you just want low's and you'll never touch the track to push them, then why pay the extra difference? Just me though.Anyway aye, I love the colour, nice n clean! Should get the wheels resprayed a diff colour though ;D And get some VW centercap thingys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of a 1.8T conversion at some point down the line .... few years at least though Edited December 10, 2011 by Mark230 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfOfZero Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Mine is nippy through the gears till about 4th.. Think it depends on the road, and your um..... aggressive gear changes haha.Good thing bout 1L's, you can boot it nonstop, give it death through the areas where faster cars need to constantly slow down haha.Beware new areas though, cause there will always be that one pothole that you never noticed, and you'll hear a lovely noise and suddenly think "Yup, made a c unt of that one...." hahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark230 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) I dont like booting it all the time, fuel economy drops so much when your accelerating all the time Aye I know what you mean about the potholes mate, had some right nasty ones recently cause of the weather Edited January 4, 2012 by Mark230 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
