Haha

Knowing you Mike, there is no way that this is standard

What is it or what are your plans? I have a feeling that Trev is struggling to control his weak self control when it comes to doing an engine swap. DON'T encourage him

Stu mostly standard i think its been lowered but dont know how probably just springs has a miltek exhaust apparently.

But has suspected head gasket gone so head off and a little head work is in order i think for now.

Definitely lowered and the camber looks about standard.........interesting

Nice wheels too. Looks like a good base for a project mate; I warn you now, my one will stay pretty much the way that it is right now. Certainly for now anyway.

If you're going down the route of R888's, get ready to start cutting or rolling the arches. Just ask Trev

and problems with the 888's was because there 8" rims and a lower ET due to me being toooo greedy with the dish size

stu the car is staying pretty much as is only going to do bit of porting and polishing only because the heads coming off.

Will do a bit more when the M3 sells, theres to much money tied up in the m3 for it to just sit in my factory it's only done 1200 miles since i bought it in august. I could do alot of other things with the money and still have fun with the golf.

Sorry trev yes it is a 16v
