I just bought a 1996 GTi with about 150K on it, everything is completely stock, i was wondering what mods would be good for starting off? i have a relatively low budget $400 at this time.

 

For starters do you know what type of maintenance was done on the car? If not sure I would just spend the money on a complete tune up and fluids change just to have a clean baseline to work with. It can't hurt to pamper yer new used GTI. How does that sound?
