its always easier to start with a very nice one, it means u can spend more on goodies!

you remind me of me a year n a half ago, when i joined this forum. with a stock 316 n a dream lol.

try n read as many threads in the owners section as u can, its a good source of knowledge about the potential of these cars.

Where did you get classic bmw owners like dub from? I Love dub...and have bmw.

Like the car also but keep the chrome, its what makes it classic!

yeahh i think old vws and bmw share alot in terms of style but you just gotta have a beemer for the drifting! i was over the understeer on the polo and golf!

chromes staying to match the lips on the bbs!

booya!

rite sad to say but im thinking of selling up on her! mite be getting another mk1 golf gti! but im realy torn and wish i could have both and go as far as i want to with this car

what do you all think?

how much should i price it?

cheers!

Shame is you told everyone on the forum how much you paid for it.
Id say about £1300- £1500
Good luck

keeping the car now! panic over! watch this space!

yo yo yo!

snows now gone, yesss!

right took the car out for a spin today and gave it a good run! and done a few drifts on the local roundabouts but there was something wrong, as the car was leaning quite alot there was a loud knocking sound, what could this be?
driveshaft, diff, suspention, wheel, bearing! i havent got a clue

it also does it when i turn sharply either left or right and i mean shap turning reving pretty high and the rear wheels are spinning!

wondering if anybody could share any light on this one??

thanks!

suspension bushes are prolly gone? where was the noise coming from? front?


superflex.co.uk do a full set, I've got them on mine and I rate them highly.

from the rear quite loud! well im fitting coilovers soon so ill get some of those to go along with the shocks!

also when im gonna be lowering the car what are the issues im gong to come across with if i go past -60mm

camber
rubbing
sump

anyone know??

ta

Apart from hitting the sump the rear anti roll bar mounts will ground out too! You'll have massive negative camber on the rear as well.
