Looks sweet, you should definetly add more photos of Blue. How about some pics of the rims!
Nice and clean, looks perfect!
Very clean Golf...looks awesome!! One "up" for you!
Clean with simple mods. Good stuff!
PS: I think it can go a little lower though with some rake :P
Very nice mate... What sort of difference have the performance mods made to the ride?
Thanks horse. As far as power output, there's really very little difference from stock (it's just louder and breathes slightly better at high RPMs). The real differences are in the brakes and shift linkage, they make it feel like a much more modern car. The linkage is probably my favorite mod, it replaces most of the bushings with all metal spherical bearing joints, and the remaining bushings are replaced with teflon ones. The Tokico suspension is junk, though. I guess the car handles better with it, but the springs make groaning noises and all of the protective coating has already flaked off from them so they're rusting like mad - and it's only been 2 years. The stock springs were on the car for 13 years and they were in fine condition. I won't buy Tokico stuff again.
