OEM+...

Matthew · Sep 15, 2010

Exactly Tom lol

EllD90 · Sep 15, 2010

Remap, Milltek & 18s would be a good start

Doesn't really need anything else done to it.

Bit of inspiration for you

Stunning.

You need to do this matt, you'd have the nicest car in halifax lol

Matthew · Sep 15, 2010

Sarah's already fallen out with me after bringing up the possible "remap" lol

fUbAr · Sep 15, 2010

My A3's got a Revo Technik stage 1 map on it... had it done about an hour after buying the car. Recommended highly!

She has her own car, and very nice it is, so you can do whatever you like. Tell her I said its ok

Matthew · Sep 15, 2010

I will do Mike lol

Ok well managed to grab some pictures atlast. Had the car for 2 days now and I must say I am very impressed with it. You can tell its a larger car to the 182 when your diving but the steering is very precise and lighter than the clio's (which is a bonus for driving round town).

In terms of performance compared to the Clio, its slower and more sluggish upto about 30 or 40 mph, but when the boost comes in around 3K rpm you get a nice surge of torque and an addictive turbo whistle

lol

After 40 or 50 mph its definantly alot quicker than the 182 ever was and keeps pulling and pulling

Its such a nicer place to sit also, no road noice or rattles what-so-ever, to some this is a negative point, but to me its a big plus point!

To do list: 18" Monza II's and rear bumper half colour coding. Then possibly a remap depending on if the other half gives me the go-ahead lol

Matt.

Thanks for looking.

Murray_SL · Sep 21, 2010

Lovely I can't decide if I want a Golf GTi or not..

SC03OTT · Sep 21, 2010

Minty McMint. Good plans to. I'd be upgrading the lights as well for either OEM Xenon clusters (pricey) or Xenon style halogen clusters. Think the latter are around £400 a pair from Germany.

Matthew · Sep 21, 2010

Cheers guys, yeah the lights are abit naff even upto the 182's lol. Might end up going down the chav-tastic HID road.

Cant reccomend one enough to people.

Matthew · Sep 21, 2010

The headlights are smart, defo worth looking at upgrading them in the future, not keen the rear's though... :S

SC03OTT · Sep 21, 2010

Aye, they do look a bit odd when fitted. Makes it look like a Golf Plus. Uncool.

EllD90 · Sep 21, 2010

Iz niiiiice

<3 the GTi's

_Tom · Sep 22, 2010

Do they do the trial maps on the MK5's?

Gally · Sep 22, 2010

That GTI isn't even that modded so it won't cost you a lot and it'll add value imo.

No audi wheels though.

Good choice.

Charlie. · Sep 22, 2010

Lovely car, the modded one looks even nicer, don't think i'd sacrifice comfort for lowering though.

I'm picking up a turbo'd VAG this Saturday, sit in any of them and makes you wonder why you ever put up with a French shitbox.

Brookie. · Sep 22, 2010

For fear of abuse from the manly Clio brigade i'll keep quiet. Aparently i will fall asleep behind the wheel and it has a "soulless" engine.....
It may have BBS LMs like that last Golf, on it in the future though. It'll make girls drop their panties.

Souless means they dont break yeah? haha! My 1.8T makes 239bhp so a bit more character than a F4r imo..lol

Lol. A 300bhp 1.8t lump has less character than a hoover. Horrible engine. Bombproof, but horrid.

Good choice on the op, great cars.

Charlie. · Sep 22, 2010

A car is for getting from A to B not having a chat with, how do certain engines have character?

My new motors got 225bhp standard so enough character i need to get me to work comfortably.

The guy that built the TT engined Mk2 clio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ss8Mupq5vbc

Pretty well known on the foruma nd knows his stuff.

Matthew · Sep 22, 2010

18" Monza's are in the pipeline, speaking to a guy about a dog lol

I won't be touching the suspension though, it's just too relaxing for any tinkering

Matt

jenic · Sep 26, 2010

Just looked at what monza's are and if they are what I think they are please dont get them, look terrible imo.

All the chavs put them on their 1.4's.

Get some wheels like what are on the red golf dan posted imo.

Matthew · Sep 26, 2010

Aright Mike, the Monza's are the Standard wheels mate, the ones I have on are 17's but I'm geting the upgraded 18's. Suit the Golf really well. Want to keep the OEM look.

Sorry about pulling out today buddy, hope it was a good day?

jenic · Sep 26, 2010

IS it this?

Sorry but its awful :dapprove: Would prefer your wheels now tbh.

Yer was a good day.

Ste666 · Sep 26, 2010

so are they the same wheels but 1" bigger then?

The ones on the picture on post 38 look wicked, transforms the car, i was behind one just like yours matt coming back from the lakes today but as it was a middle aged woman driving i had no chance of finding out how quick it was
