Finally Lowering The MK3 GTI! ( Huge Improvement! )

[@thabangmatlala8424]

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

[@PieterKuijk]

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.

[@Albert87nl]

White car's higly underrated! love it

[@tesla419]

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) 😎😍

[@nonsookeke3396]

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..

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.

So happy there is new content everyday 🥰

[@ANGELDIAZ-pc4pm]

For pink floy make a cheack list for everything.

[@eddiemichael4333]

I am so happy to see you post clips,content on you tube.

[@paulburke7879]

Looks real good, hopefully you put spacers on to push the wheels out a bit

[@Albert87nl]

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

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 💪

[@cleanedvento]

Love the oem look ! Reminds me of my red mk3 gti back in the day

[@waaziekara5080]

It’s the bird at the end for me 😁

[@haydenhetherington8308]

Pink floyd is the OG

[@golfplatz123]

😎😎👍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.😊😊😍

[@aldinbratic3162]

Couple Goals right there

This car really needs the 8v apk crossflow head & ITB's now 💯

Yes the rears can be adjusted

[@TheVWGarage]

Also the springs could be new and need to settle.

[@liamjade5948]

288 cam will also be good for cold starts😍

[@KyleAndersonSkates]

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.

[@coraleestedile5061]

Ok its looking more to the badging. Never to low for a GTi

[@mislavburazer5628]

This car is so pretty

[@mippezz5672]

U should run little spacers there it would look soo good

[@tinyspeedshop8196]

Succsess. Really nice for so little work!

[@ergz-vr6]

My god. Them shocks and springs. Are looking sick !!!!! It’s mad. How a set of lowering sprints and coilovers change a. Mk3

[@RiemersGarage04]

Sheesss iam never to late for you vid but this time 😭 but great vid 👌

Looks great now ! really nice. now please put that plastic cap over the driver side sideskirt =]

[@weezill]

I guess you've never had a jack fail on you? 😃

[@Mk3Smith]

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

[@weezill]

@@Mk3Smith even though my comment was a bit sarcastic, just thinking of your safety. Would hate to see you or the wife get hurt.

[@josipmacan9804]

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

Really need one as soon as possible

[@Cars-coffee]

Nothing about the weather? 😝😎

[@joekizonu9503]

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.

[@zambuko]

Tá technix shocks have slots to adjust the base plate hight on the rears

[@Mk3Smith]

I did see the slots and was wondering if they could be adjusted but I just swapped them for the coils lol

[@zambuko]

@@Mk3Smith yes, they could be adjusted. Coils are nicer though

[@bumblebvr6]

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.

[@jakekaye6545]

Looks great 👍

[@richardford5794]

Car looks awesome nice drop😉

[@fakealexstrong]

Sick af ! But you guys need to always use axle stands!!!!

[@Albert87nl]

oem green shocks... sombody orderd the heavy dury variant for it lol.. did the front shocks P/N either end wth P or N?

[@Mk3Smith]

I’ll have to check and see!

is this 40mm back and 50 mm front??

[@BkSMedia]

It almost feels like a cardinal sin to not put the 1.8f in the GTI. It would make the best OEM+ build.

[@Draxterwav]

thats sick

[@liamjade5948]

decent car💯

[@neilrobson9485]

Those clips for the lower shock mounts are factory on every Mk2 and Mk3 Golf.

[@Mk3Smith]

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

[@neilrobson9485]

@@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

[@TheVWGarage]

Did you release the ebrake

[@nedaspaulas3669]

This GTI is diesel? P.s. such an amazing video.

[@Mk3Smith]

Gas

[@TimBeta36]

A mk3 literally means rust. I never see you doing any rust removement or welding. Great GTI btw 😀
