e38king 1 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 Exactly what I was thinking...could be something fishy with the vehicle for certification I too smell a rat... and again the tyres are too small Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creaver 55 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 So much for a poor student...why the f**k buy an expensive probably overpriced car if you can't afford to pay someone to replace a set of springs? That's my 2c...and i'm sure many others thought it. All the best with your new vehicle and getting a cert....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jwde30 81 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 What I dont understand is why would you pay any one to do work on you're car. We're suposed to be car enthusists. Do it you're self! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heino 1 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 first things first. i now have money because i sold the e46 standard for 12500 with the acs. so i now have money to pay for things. so if u thought it then theres ur answer! and i paid off my loan with the money from the e46 so now i make more money a week.. the golf onli costs 94 dollers to fill and i used up like 1/8 of my tank to get to uni. which is better then wat the bema has ever given me. *this includes hitting boost multiple times, due to it being my first manual turbo.* And thank you. the car will pass a cert the person hu sold it is a legit worker for fisher and paykel not some stupid lil boy racer kid. hence the engine is unmodified!!! So no i am not have money troubles anymore due to having no loan to pay. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreadful1 7 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 Wow this thread has heated up quite abit. I still reckon you could of bought another GTI stock and got some adjusties and some nice wheels for it and it would still end up cheaper! providing you do the work yourself. Spotted you today haha, I could tell from your driving that you were very excited about your new car and your turbo haha! But its looking good. I had a little soft spot for GTIs.

e38king 1 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) tyres are fine. its on 18z. and getting cert on munday. I think you missed the point. They are 205/35/18's when the correct size should be a 215/40/18 or 225/40/18. What it means is that you will be racking up the km's faster than you should be and the engine will be over-revving. Still - on the positive side you should never get a speeding ticket! Edited May 19, 2011 by e38king Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
