Sup dudes!

Been on here for over a year and was too lazy to introduce myself or post up my ride.. so here we go.

I live in the western suburbs of nsw and drive a 2003 Sportivo.

Bought it January last year after selling my 2000 Golf 2.0L Sport.

Got it for 17.6k and was bone stock and in mint condition with 30,000kms on the clock(Now 50kkms =/).

My current car and my old golf..

Looks really good man. Nive clean example.

Thanks guys =) for the positive feedback.

Everything I did to my car was all influenced by this forum so

I'm glad to hear that you guys like what I've done..

As for future mods.. not too sure.

Maybe just some KYB Excel G's or even Koni reds/yellows to replace the oem shocks when they go and an Exedy HD clutch+fly wheel.

Other stuff like strut braces, shortshifter+weighted gear knob, coilovers, power fc, I'll consider if they pop-up in the forum for a good price.

But yeh, I might be looking to buy something turbo(MPS 3/6, 09 WRX, XR5, Golf GTI, Evo 8/9, GTR),

prefably something all-paw or tail happy in the next few months so might hold back on everything.

So you went from hot hatch to hotter hatch then.Looking good especially the rims.Can i ask how much for powdercoating?

:toast::toast:

lol yeh i guess.. powdercoating cost me $150 for all four wheels.

I probably could have got them done for $120 elsewhere but these guys were very quick and had great customer service.
