Thread: My GTI

Hey sup J. All I can tell you is, its a downhill game. You will never get back what you put in. I have spent thousands of dollars into cars, and I have built about 5 cars. I did have a car all souped up and it got stolen. The more flashy you make it look, or if people know its faster, people will want it, and are going to steal it. Also, if their jealous they probably scratch it, and or break windows. I have been through bad times and good times. The good times are when you get to pick up that hot girl to go to the movies, and peeps be lookin at your car, and dat hat chick. Priceless!

Anyways, suspension upgrades are a must if you putting some good horsepower. Dropping your car will lower the center of gravity, and control better. Also it will distrubute the power more evenly to all the wheels without suspension travel. Good suspension, like coil overs that cost like $2000 would be the next best thing. Then I would recommend front and rear strut bars to keep the body from twisting. Also you can put tension rods, and tie rods to tighten up steering for drifting. Change out your clutch, to a Stage 4 clutch to put more power down without clutch slipping. Get drag radials, for better grip. the list can go on and on. But suspension is very important!

I've got a MK4 1.8T, but it's just my "beater"/DD. My real passion lies in Volvo. Not the new ones though. I'm all about the old school RWD awesomeness that came before 1993.


Side note: I'd stay away from any clutch that's designed for torque outputs way above yours, it will destroy the drivability of your car.

I actually leave in the lowest crime city in the USA per capita - Sioux Falls, SD.

It's no problem as far as stealing goes. The worst you get is ugly looks, but then it's only from the old farmers.

I don't have a flashy car. In fact, if I took pictures, you probably wouldn't notice a difference. It's all under the hood.
