awesome mate... dunno about anyone else, but I think that coming up behind you quick in the dusk might initiate a large brown stain! lol

Defo mean looking man, i'd love to see those wheels polished though. I'd say you're delighted to have it running now!

needs lower profile tyres and lowering a bit and she'll look even more savage

She is a low as is possible. - 40mm all round.
Ground clearance problems on the custom exhaust if you go lower. Also as the suspension is that hard any profile lower than the 50's that are on would make her undriveable on normal roads. Got to have some give and the tyres are it.
Photos of the engine bay to follow once i've made it presentable.

That looks excellent, I reckon the ride height is spot on. I notice you're in Nottingham - me too!  Might see your car at some local meets? |

Thanks for all the comments so far :-)
Well after a few hours working on the car i now have a new master cylinder.
Decided to go with one that has a slightly larger bore. 22.2 instead of 20.6
Mk3 Golf 2.0 16v 92-97 is the one i've used. Pedal feel is so much better than the original one that was on. Should of guessed there was something wrong with it.
Best thing of all the cylinder is a straight bolt in. Just had to adjust the push rod length.
All 4 corners blead properly now and its great. Since its such nice weather i'm going to get cleaned up and go for a drive.
This is what cars were made for ;D
