2005 Volkswagen Golf Gti advice please!

Looks alright that. What are options on these? Do you not get things like mfsw? Auto lights? I thought this thing was top spec? Also no xenons.

If you are after a remap, these boys are supposed to be the best for VAG stuff by a long shot, and are really well priced too

I was going to go down to them before I sold it...

Ah awesome mate, they look good! Will definitely give them a shout if im going to go down that route

All optional extras mate. They are quite poorly spec'd as standard. Even have to spec the arm rest!

 

[Joe Hryszko]

Its got the more desirable optional extras I can sort some Xenons etc out myself!

 

[_Tom]

Like what? I'd say xenons are pretty desirable. You said it had pretty much every optional extra going.

Don't get me wrong it's a nice car but not high spec'd.

Welcome to the Mk 5 club!

I do like an MK5, would have one tomorrow if they were a bit cheaper.

R32 rear? Look so much better than the rear of a standard GTI.

Also if you're looking to get it mapped, get in touch with Mick at Unicorn Motor Developments, what he doesn't know about custom mapping VAG's isn't worth knowing.

Mine is booked in for stage 1 revo and DV replacement this afternoon including a rolling road before/after.

Not too shabby for £470!

Revo have 35% off software at the moment as well so maybe worth speaking to a local mapper who uses it!

What supporting mods are you having to do to suit for the stage 1? That is pretty decent for £470, very very tempting...

I am so glad I bit the bullet and went for one, driven it for one day and im absolutley in love! So much car, amazing to drive, definitely quicker than my clio without a doubt! Yeah might do, was looking at colour coding the rear awesome, thank you for that mate!

Pleasure to be apart of it! You got a Gti or an ED30?

It only has a miltek system at the moment! I had the spark plugs changed today as well for NGK-R's. By f**k it shifts now...

Very nice man!! What power you running at stage 1, you can run a stage 1 safely i believe with no supporting mods at all! 250bhp ish?

Dan's is the ed 30.

Close to 300 bhp. [emoji41]

As Scott says, mines is the Edition 30 so essentially the 8L Audi S3 engine. I left today with 292bhp! Still some minor fettling to do but should end up being 305/310bhp apparently..!

Warm weather didn't help today, even at that it goes like a b*****d now!
