Title: New member from South London - TR GTI
Post by: gman on October 26, 2016, 12:07:45 am

After lurking for a while, decided to stop being a lazy sod and write up an intro. Got a Red GTI, 5 Door and Manual - nice step up from my mk4 1.6  :grin:

Having been a grade A lurker, first thing I did was Cam Follower, DV. Thankfully after 77k the Cam follower I removed was in good condition thank god.

Got some new alloys soon after, couldn't resist taking a photo in an empty underground carpark:

Ooops forgot to add, got R32/Ed30 Rear Lights now, Gloss Black Rear Emblem awaiting installation - worried about cracking the original one whilst taking it off.
Future Mods: Remap possibly (plenty fast enough for me now tbh), Maybe some different alloys not too sure about these, potentially exhaust/HPFP/Intercooler to go along with remap

Plan to keep for at least 4 years so mods will be happening at a slow pace due to lack of money being a student lol (and yes I pay stupid insurance - worth it for the grin I get every time I drive it though :laugh:)

Cheers guys, I'm sure I will find inspiration for more mods on the forum - an unfortunate situation for my wallet though  :doh:
