1991 Volkswagen Golf GTi 8V review from UK and Ireland
"A high performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Problems with wear on front tyre's. Toyo Proxy's where being eaten alive, 2 sets in 3 months! Apart from that no problems what so ever.
General comments?
This car is seriously quick and handles like it's on rails. The bodywork is solid. As standard they look fairly tame but if your into modifying cars then with a Golf there's so much you can change and alter to make them look meaner and smarter. I've made some modifications which has really set the car off:
A full stainless magnex system.
K&N 57i induction kit.
Lowered the car which produced better handling.
Fitted 15" Hockenheim alloys.
Fitted crystal and clear rear lights, clear side repeaters, clear front indicators, front de-badged grille the list goes on and on.
