just booked myself a golf 1.4 white with drl. delivery in april biggrin.gif

btw, how do you guys attach your garmin to your car? on my old car now, the suction cup creates a circular impression on the windscreen. wouldn't want the same to happen to the tint of my new golf.

hi guys,

those of you who upgraded your stock 16" rims to 17" denvers, what tyres are u using? stick with 225/45 just like the gti or something else?

i'm trying to figure out which tyres would be best for 1.4 golf without affecting the ride and suspension too much.

heard from SA golf 1.4's suspension is different compared to gti. if too low profile then could affect the suspension in the mid-longer term. oh yeah..where's the best place to get tyres too smile.gif

hey guys..

would it be worth it to get mk5 rims over mk6? mate of mine says he'll let it go for 1.5k but tyres old one la.

what's the difference between mk5 and mk6 rims anyway...it looks the same to my untrained eye lol

True .... but I shudder to think about what would happen once I mount the new rims and she notices the extra "bling".

As it is, she is super-duper pissed with me for ordering the LED taillights and RCD head unit. She might consider kicking me out of the house or even worse ... max out the credit card I gave her in retaliation shakehead.gif

hey guys,

between the turanza er300 and contisportcontact2, which one would fetch a higher trade in value?

Interesting chain of thought there. Personally I have both the RCD510 and the Golf R tail lights. After having them both, I still like having the Golf R tail lights more than the RCD510 because the RCD510 is nothing more than just a radio to me/ipod player. Looks fancier but yeah, to me the Golf R lights look sexier  brows.gif

i'm gonna start my modding journey with the Golf R lights and end with the RCD510 hehe

hey guys,

just got my 1.4 tsi about a week ago. noticed a couple of days ago a warning indicator on the screen next to the MFD saying 'check front right side lights'. i checked and all lights are working properly. once i turn off the key and turn it on..the warning indicator went away.

didn't think much of it but yesterday night, the same warning indicator came on again and when i checked, my right hand side DRL is not working. turned off and turned on engine and it's back to normal.

concluded it's an intermittent issue. anyone experienced this before? could this be a sensor issue or faulty DRL?

Does the ride feel rougher with all the increased stiffness? I had the full set of Ultra Racing bars on my Waja CPS last time.... everything from front struts, fender bars, lower bars, side bars, etc. No doubt handling is better.. but the ride also a lot rougher.

the ride is firmer....but not super stiff. you can feel it bracing the underside of the car like what it's supposed to do and it does it a hell lot better than the stocks. gti anti-roll bars will complete it heheh

standard would be Turanza, not unless u r driving one GTI, then chance of u getting tyres varies from Bridgestone, Continental to Dunlop! =)
actually my 1.4 came with CSC2 so i believe different batches and different agents do affect which tires you get.
