Mk5 Golf GTI :)
Any pics been a while since I've seen one of these.
I have a MK1 Clio as my runaround, it's also a 1.4
Please don't waste your money on the engine trying to make it faster. It never will be.
Instead, the few hundred pounds you would spend on these parts to be a 'road rally car' as stated in your other post, put towards another car if you want more power.
Sorry if this comes across blunt, but I made a 0-60mph clip onto the motorway for a friend and he was right, it couldn't make 60mph under 18 seconds...

@Tibbs - Chris above is right though. You can get slow cars that are cool in their own way and people accept that. Spending hard earned on making a basic, near 23-year-old car 'sound nice' is just a waste.
You might as well stick an AMG badge on the back for all the relevance it will have. As Chris said - not wanting to sound harsh, but at best, you'll get nothing other than dubious glances.

Evo 5 RS
I had one not that long ago as a run about. It only had 40k on the clock, and was a 4 speed auto. Had solenoid woes though and wouldn't go into 4th sometimes lol. f**king thing. It was a great little shopping cart, though.
More on topic, don't waste your money and save up for a 172 or newer.

AMG lol
You could look out for some 16v bits, however I think these maybe quite hard to find now.
Here's a 16v kit
But don't be leaving it like this...
Alternatively, what about just a set of multi spokes?
IMO your to-do list should be:
New plain number plates
Remove all window stickers
A good polish and back to black treatment
Silver 15" Oz Racing Superturismo Alloys with some nice tyres
Lower it however much you want
New wipers
Perhaps some seat covers / mats / air fresheners but nothing fancy just plain black
Of course the ultimate find for you would be a 16v in your colour with a side impact ready to strip for bits.
That's all I can come up with
I will say compared to the MK2 embarrassing turning circle, the MK1 is like a taxi!
Its was giving too me from me uncle so I wanted a toy car to play about with as I didn't wanted to mess about with the family car it's nearly all stripped out now just adding lightness it's all abit of fun of a learning curve and like I said if I can get much use out of it and enjoy it I'll go buy something els in a few years but I loving it at the moment

Yes, buying a 172 would make more financial sense but, if people wanted to make financial sense, they'd be driving a little diesel runabout. Life is too short.
It's your car and your money, do what you want to it.

Keep going, remove everything
