    New master cylinder in, new headlights in, new exhaust on, new brake booster in, new mk4 rear calipers, new Pagid front pads, new timing belt and tensioner, new struts... Awesome Brake pedal is rock hard until I turn the car on, then it's overboosted as hell. I don't have a clue where there would be air hiding in the lines. I've bled about 3 quarts through, which is a lot even considering the mess with replacing the master cylinder. I can still easily lock up the tires, which isn't saying much considering they're all seasons, but oh well. I drove last night and to work today. Still need to double check all the torque values on the struts, I'm getting some clunking from the strut mounts. The exhaust will shoot fire at high rev overrun

    lol, maybe auto-x or spectating a rally

    Super pumped, my brake pedal is firm now, and my car is running superbly! Driving around for a couple of hours did it good New right rear tire installed and ready for inspection.

    Are you sure sure you don't want to trow a G-lader at it? Ill rebuild it for you for free if you pay for parts Ive rebuild lots of them!
    I used to own a corrado with a G60, loved that car, stiffest suspension ive ever driven though!

    Whats the plans with the Golf?!?!?!

    N/A build at a later date. G-Laders are cool as hell, and reliable if you keep on top of the maintenance, but I love this thing as is.

    Clean the throttle body and intake manifold. They can get dirty as hell, since the car needed shocks it probably hasnt been driven hard.

    The throttle body was relatively clean considering the amount of PCV oil in the elbow. After I pass inspection I'm looking for a euro intake and I'll take care of new gaskets and cleaning then. Thanks for the tip, I'll make sure to clean the throttle instead of just removing it and sticking it back on lol

    Its just usually when you find a GTI you want to buy, the intake is usually fouled and in bad cases the valves and cilinders are too. Just because theyve been babied.

    The ones that have been run hard are clean, but theyve been through some abuse.
