Title: New member - Glasgow.
Post by: campbell511 on July 10, 2011, 01:49:35 pm: Hi, Campbell from Glasgow. Currently an active member on ScottishVag but bought myself a Mk5 GTI 2008 about 9 months ago and felt the need to join a more specialised forum.
Went from a 9n3 polo to a mk5 gti was scared to drive the thing for the first few months but now so used to the power im looking at remaps.
Also seeing so much for sale on here i feel the need to make 10 posts ASAP.

Future plans. Going to awesome in manchester for a event day 31st July and plan to buy a Milltek unless anyone has a spare Cat back resonated.
Then - Remap, lowering springs.

Thanks for looking, Campbell.

welcome looks nice black on black :happy2:
