    As above I ve had this golf for a few months my mate used to have it then he had to sell it so I got it of him and I keeping it for long as I can so much fun I still trying to get used to it what bits are what what things are for and everything really because I have gone from nova gte to this so its a bit different lol so its a mk2 gti with a vr6 engine the mods from what I know so far are its fully polybushed corrado g60 front and rear breake discs conversion .
    front breake discs vented rear discs are cross drilled it has a rear camber kit 15" coilovers has a rear roll cage audi front seats are really nice and soft :) the rear is all stripped out .
    it has 15" genuine oz vega split rims ive got strut brace on order just got to get one for the boot it also has a full race exhaust from front to back sounds really good pops and bags the engine has been ported and polished has red leads k&n manifold has been ported as well has power steering think I might have missed some bits but I update .

    stuff ive done when got it I washed it and tcut it for 2 days then clay bar it then polish it and polished the wheels up I think its never seen polish when I got it it was like matt white but now its back to gloss I changed the number plate lights to led and the headlight bulbs and side lights changed the wiper blades got new tyres on the front and today I just changed the rad fan switch as the car started to over heat and leak water from the rad bottle but it still leaked but the fans kicked in so I had a spare rad bottle so changed it and now we have no leaking :) so now that's done next job is changing the drive shafts as it broke a drive shaft last week lol never ending anyway some pics :)

    when I got it

    I also have a boot carpet coming for when I do track days it be for when I put track wheels in the back to stop it getting marked I am ordering bucket seats tomorrow that's it for now a lot to get on with just want it to look better for the shows and meets some pics will be up :)

    Looks good, I went from a gte to my mk2 about 10 yrs ago. Nova feels tiny compared to the golf
