[Jkesten]

im driving gti too~would u wan me to tell u some~:)

 

[beatnik]

external mods? not much can be done as the factory fitted bodykit is already nice.. maybe you can change the bonnet, spoiler and side mirrors to carbon fibre, that's about it..

i'd stay with the original colour. Change to black, become wannabe R3. Change to other colours, become converted Gti :P

lower + 17" rims. C/F if you have the money, but honestly C/F looks a bit odd la with the GTi's original colour :p

i have to agree wit MOE6 !!!
gti cannot be modified....
then people say convert !!
therefore....

for me just the rims....
volky te-37.....(gives the contra and personality apporach...hahahh)
front head lamp and signal like the new R3s.....
HID (baru bleh highlight dgn terang !!)
tint the blardy cermins....(A-MUST modification...malaysia panas beb)
lowered springs.... (hot bits is the way to go....seems quite good in quality although i heard stories that those suspension all comes from a single manufacturer....just they put stickers and different colours...)
EXHAUST !!!............
this part aku dah modify banyak kali sampai habis duit...
all type of exhaust dah try....middle one....senget tepi....etc
i gave up and return to original ones......
TRUST ME....you should stay with the original exhaust.....
it is the only one that looks cool in a GTi.....
interior....
dun change anything except headunit....speakers(gti ori sucks ) and maybe a blue color (ah beng style ) odometer display.....
and dun add any meters or gadgets unless....
you wan ur gti kena curik....
WOKEH !!

Advise.

A little word of advise here. If you plan to mod ur GTI, do it a proper way. well proper may be a strong word cos ur style and taste might be different.

First of all, try to avoid those ah heng or wei yip tak tipu punya exhaust. It sounds horrible and looks awful, unless u fancy the mat rempit motor sound then carry on. If money isnt a problem, go to jafar motorsport and do upgrade ur piping to 2 inch or 2.2 combo with ur stock GTI exhaust. I had it in my GTI, very satisified. Halfcut shops offers used muffler from japan, but conditions vary. But if ur engine is untouch, stock muffler is good enough.

Avoid those stickers that makes ur car faster, so say the ricers. Makes u look desperate to show off ur slow car.

Keep those GTI bodykits, no aftermarket bodykits looks better than stock GTI one's.

Drive slow, dont purposely rev in front of the food joint to get attention, GTI isnt that fast. Most GTI drivers i observed tend to think their mild mods GTI can outrun big vtec la, perdana la, its not that fast, trust me. Look at those cars wit turbo, they dun cruise around town and blow their dump valve all the time because they know their potential, no need to rev like mad even at the parking lot.

Sum suggestion on ur performance upgrade.
Trinity clutch plate or exedy 3 kaki clutch for better pick up and respond.
2 or 2.2 inch piping with stock GTI muffler.
CAI
lightweight rims with good tyres. Bridgstone RE711 or advan neova or es100.

i am not driving a gti so basically i won make any comment on how to mod one. but i do agree this. gti is not that fast, at least a stock gti with some basic modifications won be very imopressive compared to those real fast car. even most of the ppl who are driving those turbos, dohc vtecs won be showing off their machines when the place is crowded. after all a fast car is not equal to loud exhaust, or tings like that. it is a good thing that u own a gti, so happy modding, and always be humble.

bro,

piece of advise...upgrade driver's skill first...then u can push ur car to the limit, then when u've reached the limit and it can no longer satisfy u...only u upgrade ur car's performance.

it's my personal opinion though... up to u....cheers!
