This is epically good. This is screaming out for a heart transplant, turbo lump from an 200sx maybe? I’m now going to have a look on eBay and see what there is out there, got my birthday coming up soon and it would be a shame to ask for mundane s**t when I could have cash monies and a new toy...

Manual mate, couldn’t find a DSG that ticked all my boxes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The E46 M3 can be had for around £6-8k nowadays, and that’s with decent mileage too! Yes they might be over the infamous 100k that everyone wants to be under, but an average of 10-12k a year it’s still good mileage! M135i are pushing £12k still surely! Unless of course you want a newer M3...

Wouldn’t you just buy an M3 then rather than a 1 series?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also check for recent cambelt renewal, and then the usual wear and tear. The cam follower is a £30-40 part from VW/Awesome GTI and is easy to change. The seats are all the same shape, leather or tartan cloth, I think all leathers are heated, but not all cloth seats are, my last GTi had heated...

Rust on front arches, rust on rear arches, lacquer peal on bonnet from stone chips. Mechanically needs to have proof of cam follower recently, it’s a simple quick job to swap it out anyway. If the turbo whistles and it has no induction kit, it could be a split diaphragm in the diverter valve...

I’ll probable sort the wing, mainly to stop it spreading, but I’m just enjoying the car for now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good luck getting VW to honour it though, google it and it’s more often rejected. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s a weird one in mine, it seems to show better MPG on cruise at 80-85 than at 70-75! So I’m not sure how accurate it is! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The pricing on MK5s at the minute is madness, standard GTIs range from £2k to sometimes £6k+ and that’s not even for an ED30! some of these are asking £12k!!! Madness. If your near Derbyshire, DSC are a well regarded seller of R32s and ED30s. Some of them are a bit too rich but mine was...

Yeah man, they are cracking alrounders. Not amazing at any one thing, but great at everything! How’s the RB? Treating you well I hope. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So, after selling my RB182, hating my new job, getting my old job back with a nice pay rise included. I decided that I wanted another nice car. I owned a nice MK5 GTI before the 182 and missed the all-round-ness of the GTI. I had a shortlist of cars that I fancied, MK5 R32, MK1 TT V6, Impreza...

The RS didn’t have working aircon and it was 25°+ so no way did I want to be in that, and the Clio just gets hot due to the engine anyway, so I was the most comfortable by a mile [emoji23] especially getting to Wales! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

There is some on the O/S/F arch, something that was part of the negotiations, it’s not come through the paint yet, but is bubbling. As most GTIs, there are plenty of stone chips on the front of the car, but this was at the lower end of the Edition 30 market, average mileage, full history...
