ashjstarr's Daily Mk5
Ashjstarr:
Hi All, i'm new here and to the MK5 world.
Have been into VWs since about 17 when i passed my test, started off with a MK2F Polo Genesis Coupe, followed shortly by another (Cant find any pictures of these as it was pre facebook and me being on any forums.
Then went to Uni. Didnt like not having a car so had couple of MK2 Breadvan Polos
followed by a MK2 Golf:
Then got a proper job and needed something less rusty so bought a Saxo (Dark Times) which lasted about a year before being replaced with another Polo, this time a 6n2 (there seems to be a theme with red cars.....)
by this point i was abut 23 and moved a bit closer to work and wanted something a bit more fun so bought this
MK1 Caddy with 1.8T lump dropped in. After about a year of this, a couple of breakdowns and a small fortune sunk into it my partner had had enough and persuaded me to part with it and took this in PX.
That takes us up to about 2 weeks ago when i decided, after getting a promotion at work, that i deserved something newer and quicker. Looked at about 4 or 5 different MK5s, decided I wanted a black one with leather and a Manual 'box and then this one popped up in my searches. 2 views and 2 test drives later here she is.
2005 Golf GTI Completely standard except for the CH025 Alloys.
Few quick visual mods:
New Grille and Black badges
Pressed Plates
Android Headunit
Bloody good clean and full paint detail (action shot)
Plan is to enjoy it for a while then slowly start heading towards stage 2
Exhaust
Intake
GFB DV
S3 or FMIC
H&R Springs
upgraded Engine Mounts
so pretty standard modding path really.

Welcome to the site. Good to see the new motor getting some love.
Don't forget an uprated fuel pump, these cars really benefit from them even without a 2+ map.

cheers for the comments guys, followed the Mrs home from work the other day and she said it looks really mean and menacing from in front which is just what i was going for!
was having a few issues with vibrations at high speeds so had the alignment checked.....
needless to say after the adjustments it's worlds better!
