Tell me what you think of my Golf

Hey guys,
Finally got lowered this week on my V2's. I'm not sure how much lower it is, but I have no rubbing. The ride is actually pretty comfortable, and the handling is great.
Check it out and let me know what you think!

Isotta:

Bungholio!! uhh...I mean Carbonio:

Cheers
Roger
BTW: Please check out the thread in my sig and help me pick what school to go to.

Looks good, I have a set of those on the way

BTW, what setting do you have the dampening on? Did you do the install yourself?

Thanks! I have the dampening in the middle on the rears, and one turn past the middle on the fronts. I didn't do the install myself, I had Momentum do it, and they did a great job.
Cheers
Roger

Thanks guys!
I'm not sure how low I went because I didn't measure before I dropped. I can always measure from my fender if you guys are interested though.
Cheers

I have almost the same car as you. Except for the rims. Question what kind of steering wheel wrap is that and how much did you pay for the front valance to be painted? Thanks

LOL! Nice car Just-A-Golf! The steering wheel wrap is Isotta. I picked it up from New Dimensions.
As for the valences, I had the front and back painted for $200 CDN including taxes. The name of the shop probably means nothing to you ('cause you live hundreds of miles away) but nevertheless, here's a plug for Star Lite in Burnaby.

Why no replies?

Re: Tell me what you think of my Golf (coconut-monkey)

Looks nice Roger!
Ummm i really have to get my valances done now

 

[coconut-monkey]

Re: Tell me what you think of my Golf (Shummi)

Thanks for the replies guys.
Shummi: the valences are still the rough texture they originally were. I had a local body shop do them for $200 CDN.

Re: Tell me what you think of my Golf (coconut-monkey)

coconut-monkey, nice job!
Question: What's the Carbonio? Is it a cold-air intake? How much, where, all that? And how much louder is it than the stock? I was contemplating a K&N drop-in, but that looks slick.
(I'm from Vancouver, so if you know of a really good cheap place to get that, I'll pick it up when I'm next in town!)

Re: Tell me what you think of my Golf (coconut-monkey)

Looks great! Makes me want V2s reeealllly bad

Did you install a new front sway, or stick with the stock one?

 

[coconut-monkey]

Re: Tell me what you think of my Golf (Hater)

Concept: Yes, the Carbonio is a cold air intake. The tube is made of carbon fibre, hence the name. It sounds really nice. A low guggle when you're low in the revs, and then it just turns almost silent when into boost. Throttle response is a lot better, and the BOV sound at throttle lift-off is awesome. You can only get them direct from carbonio. Check out their site, they'll have the pricing and stuff for you. http://www.carboniointakes.com
Hater: I still have the stock front sway on, and surprisingly, no rubbing.
Cheers
Roger

Sweet rides guys!! nice to see other 4DR T's out there http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif damn i like that steering cover, one of the few things i hate about our cars is the thin little steering wheel. How much $ was it at Dimensions? and how hard is it to install??
