welcome...

save up for a headgasket would be a good start....

[Mattcheese31]

strip it mate, not a lot else to be done without a fair bit of knowledge . .

[Piggy]

yeah loose weight, improve handling via light wheels, tyres and suspension upgrades...you wont get much from the 1.4

[lenny_pug98]

Yeah so I think I might go with strip the whole car out upgrade the handaling and exhauast system from the manifold back and have good air intake and that should do I think anyone recomend a good suspension/handling upgrades? And performance upgrads ?

[Jonny81191]

Don't get too excited about exhaust mods, maybe lose the backbox for something more free flowing but that'd do you, you won't see any power gains after that without other mods to the engine.

As has been said really, best thing to do is strip weight off the car, and for cheap handling upgrades, fit GTi parts

[Piggy]

you may lose your torque band if you freeflow the exhaust too much on the 1.4

cheap options for dampers and springs are out there...as said, gti beam, struts, brakes all cheap found second hand

and gti ARB and a strut brace upper and lower

[lenny_pug98]

So really all I got to do is strip it out ? Get a free flowling back box? And suspenseion work form a gti? Sounds good to me also I have some pepper pot 205 alloys to fit aswell

[Piggy]

you'll want some diff springs for the front....but they cheap enough

A damn good service. You wont get much out of that little engine but the best way is to make sure its perfectly healthy and making as much power as it can. Could always put throttle bodies on it for lols, it would definately draw alot of attention :p
