Ye the milage was my main thing as its proved this 106 gti runs extremly faster than others standard as it beats integrals straight line and blows away 205 mi16 on tracks no prob and odd scooby that was when it was standard wiv just the induction kit on:)

This is how the car looks now think it needs lowering now but cost issues as it will be high performance for tracking £1500 mark im reconing.

What people think?

[Bushi]

Looks great mate, you on about 1500£ to get it lowered, as in coilover, billies etc? or throwin £1500 at lowerin n engine etc?

PS: You couldn't PM me a list of the budget sprays and sandpapers you used for ya wheels could ya, and how long you left em to dry for in between each layer and finally done? :rolleyes::o

Cheers
