Hi all,

I have had this car about 3 months no and its a great car. Its well built, quick and doesn't stand out like a sore thumb. The car has had alot of money spent on it not just on the engine, but on the exterior and also the interior. I have always like the Mk4 golf's and then I saw this one I decided to go for it.

you going ihi turbo route then, expensive route to take, theres a mk4 ihi in the for sale section under lucky dip cars, from around my area

[ebthesned]

No not going down the IHI route. Im taking the JBS04 route. I have all the parts to go down this route, all im missing now is a re-map and setting up. The turbo I have at the moment is a K04 hybrid so should be able to run stage 3. Im going to let JBS have a look at the unit first before the boost gets turned up and re-mapped, but should be looking at 300bhp+ so LSD will be required lol.

[Dr G]

Really nice looking car there fella

[gj88]

looks great. im goin for the same wheels for the leon when I get the car! lol

[AlexE46]

Stunning, looks excellent, although please... not the black rims. It looks great as it is.

[Adz The Rat]

Very very nice Golf!
I would love those rims in 16s on mine

[m4tthew]

Have you had this car around Castle Combe at all?

Sure Ive seen it there, if not someone has an identical car to you, those wheels are gorgeous!

[AndyBe]

Looks cool.
Why the wiper conversion ? And why remove the one from the back ?

[ebthesned]

The rear wiper has been removed to give the car a smoother look on the rear and also to avoid the well know MK4 rear wiper leak. It has had the Mk5 Wiper conversion because I think they look better and the wiper is a better quality.

Cheers for all the comments. I am debating changing the wheels to black. Below is a photoshop of the wheel in black and I think they look really nice.

[hostyle]

Do it! These wheels look so much meaner in black. Maybe a bit cheasy, but to avoid the 'steel wheel' look, you could ad a pinstripe round the edge.

Anyway, great car!

On that photoshop the wheel is completly black, but the lad who is spraying them will do doing the Motorsport writing in Red so that should take a bit of the harshness out the black. We had a look at the Pin Stripe but im not too keen on it.

[RobCrezz]

I say go for it, wheels will look great in black!

[Dr G]

Satin black with red text would look very cool

[Ecurie Ecosse]

What a fantastic looking car.

IMHO I would keep the wheels in their standard colour. They are legendary wheels and I wouldn't tamper with the colour.

[Riknos]

Good to see a golf that isn't bodykitted up from halfords, but actually has some power under the bonnet, unlike the standard ones.
21 psi is quite a lot of boost for a golf!

[MK4CRAIG]

Car looks cool mate i recently sold my mk4 golf running a gt28rs turbo managed around 315bhp without lsd and it got the power down pretty well i personally woudnt paint the rims but would paint the fmic to keep it stealth

my old Golf (i still miss it abit now)
