Hi all.

New ride for me 2000 Golf TDI.
Canadian car in Southern Ontario.

I done a few mods to it. Hope you all like it.

2000 Golf TDI
17 inch Wheels and Low pro 205-40-17 tires
APEX 2.2 lowering kit front and rear. Clearance is 1" from road
Limo black tint
Atlantic blue pearl paint.
Pinstriping was done by House of Mouse here in Hamilton

If I can get a few better shots will put them up

It is a fun car and great on fuel. And for an old fart like me who is retired thats just fine.

I confess...never been a fan of pinstripping.

But the wheels and tires and tint look really nice!

Hi Thanks.

Far as the drop 2.2 front 2 on rear according to the Apex kit box. Only thing I find is my tires are a bit on the small side.
Need bigger ones on the OD to get a bit more height off the road.

Exhaust is stock cept the I took the muffler off to help increase flow of exhaust. Not a whole lot but everybit helps with the turbo.

To be honest its not much louder than it is with muffler on. I just cut it off, added roughly a 2 foot peace of pipe and put an exhaust tip on it.

Other mods.
I did the plug up the egr valve and run hose to bottom of car mod for the soot buildup problem. I live with the engine lite on.

I also just started using the Lubetech fuel conditioner additive.

On the to do list.

Looking at the wood grain look for dash.

Wing or something on top of rear window to keep the buildup of dust off the rear end.
Any suggestions on that one anyone??

All in all its a fun car.

Thats about it.
