Getting updates from Mr Smith gets me hyped Loving the contents and learning a lot from you Thanks for the great contents all the way from 🇿🇦 Can't wait to see the channel becoming big
11:10 you don't need to use coilovers because on those rear shock absorbers you can adjust the height. Currently yours are on the top you can lower them 5 cm if you need. Look on 9:44. Just disasemble the shock absorber and lower the plate to the height you want. I had these on my car and it is 10 times better than coilowers for a daily car. 😎✌ good luck and greatings from Mostar (Bosna i Hercegovina) 😎😍
Kudos 👍 to your wife. She is good at learning from you and doing some of the mechanical works herself. While others commend your content on the GTI, let's also appreciate your wife for her support in every mk3 project of yours. She is an angel. Much luv from Nigeria..
that bolt clip for the rear axle. came with the axle. No seperate P/N for so can not be bought new! came mostly on GTi/ VR6s and some time also GT's if they had rear disc's
Most of the body on my mk 3 was rust free. Pretty good considering I live in wisconsin, everything gets rusty here. But I ended up having to replace the rear hatch after it rusted through on the edge just below the window. Found one from down south same color and rust free. Swapped that out , but in a couple of years I saw the paint bubbling loose in the same spot as the rust holes were. Every mk 3 I have ever seen has that same problem.
😎😎👍very nice. That's why I love the mk3 so much because its shape is not only timeless but also an ideal basis for subtle tuning. as simple as the model is, nothing more is needed.😊😊😍
Damn, you are really living the dream 👌 I find your videos so inspirational, keep it up man ❤️ Btw, the GTI looks better and better with each new modification 💪
something about this specific car makes me really want a white one to match my mk7, but other white mk3's i've seen dont do it for me. has to be the black trim. I love clean hector's is but something about the black textured trim does it for me.
Those couldn't have been gti stock springs, maybe stock mk3 springs and I would say they were vr6 as high as it sat. also if you put carrado top hats on you will get another half inch in the front.
No dont say that...he doesn't like when you say anything...unsecured car...jack in the midele and using so mutch force to unscrew that bolt...the car is moving and you can see it on the video...if he was working on my car it wold be first and last time...but he is jung boy he will lurn
@@Mk3Smith ok sorry...I just saying and be a good little husband and protect her i dont meen anything bad by saying that...always secure the car and take care off you and people around you...there is so mutch off golfs gti around but only one wife. If you think your answer is right way to talk then i dont know what to say anymore...stay safe and be nice
This gti is on of my favourite cars you own now. Love the simplicity, just a few hop up parts, and dang! What a gem.

For pink floy make a cheack list for everything.
Looks real good, hopefully you put spacers on to push the wheels out a bit
Yes the rears can be adjusted
So happy there is new content everyday 🥰
I am so happy to see you post clips,content on you tube.
Finally lowered Stance is forever
Looks much better now!
Love the oem look ! Reminds me of my red mk3 gti back in the day
😎😎👍very nice. That's why I love the mk3 so much because its shape is not only timeless but also an ideal basis for subtle tuning. as simple as the model is, nothing more is needed.😊😊😍
This car really needs the 8v apk crossflow head & ITB's now 💯
Couple Goals right there
Ok its looking more to the badging. Never to low for a GTi
Damn, you are really living the dream 👌 I find your videos so inspirational, keep it up man ❤️ Btw, the GTI looks better and better with each new modification 💪
Also the springs could be new and need to settle.
Dude please use axel stands for the safety of both of you🙏
6:46
“not gonna be slammed to the ground”
:proceeds to slam it to the ground 😹😹👍🏽
Pink floyd is the OG
Short sweet and full of content, love to see it

288 cam will also be good for cold starts😍
Pink Floyd engine is out how i saw on ig story yes boii
My god. Them shocks and springs. Are looking sick !!!!! It’s mad. How a set of lowering sprints and coilovers change a. Mk3
It’s the bird at the end for me 😁
U should run little spacers there it would look soo good
Those couldn't have been gti stock springs, maybe stock mk3 springs and I would say they were vr6 as high as it sat. also if you put carrado top hats on you will get another half inch in the front.
Really need one as soon as possible
Looks great now ! really nice. now please put that plastic cap over the driver side sideskirt =]
hello Christian the gti looks amazing although it would be great to paint the red coilovers not cres ... and
which engine has the 1.8?
🤟🏻🇩🇪
I think that you can set hight on rear suspension
Please please put some Compomotive MO on this GTI, PLEASE
appreciate daily content👌
Sick af ! But you guys need to always use axle stands!!!!
oem green shocks... sombody orderd the heavy dury variant for it lol.. did the front shocks P/N either end wth P or N?
I’ll have to check and see!
Gti looks 😈😈🔥🔥
Car looks awesome nice drop😉
Nice my guy!! How long you out there in Germany for?
I guess you've never had a jack fail on you? 😃
Nope i have not 🤷🏼♀️ but wasn’t there a big recall on harbor freight jack stands not too long ago since you seem to think jackstands never fail lol
@@Mk3Smith even though my comment was a bit sarcastic, just thinking of your safety. Would hate to see you or the wife get hurt.
No dont say that...he doesn't like when you say anything...unsecured car...jack in the midele and using so mutch force to unscrew that bolt...the car is moving and you can see it on the video...if he was working on my car it wold be first and last time...but he is jung boy he will lurn
@@josipmacan9804 don’t want to work your car 😂
@@weezill I hear you but the car was completely fine we weren’t in any danger no worries
Nothing about the weather? 😝😎
Tá technix shocks have slots to adjust the base plate hight on the rears
I did see the slots and was wondering if they could be adjusted but I just swapped them for the coils lol
@@Mk3Smith yes, they could be adjusted. Coils are nicer though
Also, I’m not sure if he released the handbrake after setting it down? Or go take it for a spin to let everything settle? Do that first.
is this 40mm back and 50 mm front??
Great video i just got real scared when u didnt have jackstands lol
You’ll be okay lol
This car is so pretty
Looks great 👍
Those clips for the lower shock mounts are factory on every Mk2 and Mk3 Golf.
Don’t think so. I’ve pulled apart hundreds of mk3s and this is the first one I’ve ever seen with that clip lol I don’t think every car got them
@@Mk3Smith every Mk2 Gti or Mk3 Vr6 I've had in the UK had them. I would be surprised if they differed in different countries but you never know lol
Very very nice! Greetings from Portugal
Succsess. Really nice for so little work!
Neee a clutch cable for right hand drive Vw MK3
This is so superb
I love it
❣️❣️❣️
I feel this car Is gonna be hot more than pink floy
It almost feels like a cardinal sin to not put the 1.8f in the GTI. It would make the best OEM+ build.
Didn't you bring trim paint back with you lol 😆
Lol can’t bring cans of paint on the plane
@@Mk3Smith lol box them and send them, Germany been letting you down for weeks lol 😆😂
Did you release the ebrake
A mk3 literally means rust. I never see you doing any rust removement or welding. Great GTI btw 😀
That cinematic shot of Casey walking around the GTI 🔥🔥🔥
Trim paint and a VR and done lol
excelente saludos desde coahuila mex
Sheesss iam never to late for you vid but this time 😭 but great vid 👌
Sooo good!
Nice
Breaker and cheater maaan that’s tight 😡
thats sick
GTI time :)

You lett your girlfriend work on cars and its standing only on jack...that is not good...dont be lazy
First off she’s my wife and second there’s two different jacks under the car so it’s not going anywhere. Worry about yourself.

If you think your answer is right way to talk then i dont know what to say anymore...stay safe and be nice
