What's up.
Joined up today as I have a MK5... sadly not a GTI (one day) been into the vag scene for a little while and thought it would be rude not to get involved over here!
My DERV is pretty low in AP's, running black CH reps, de-badged / wipered etc, GT interior, some budget ICE and a few OEM upgrades.
so....
Hi!

Welcome to the forum--but Noooob..... Diesel scum :sad1:
-
ha ha. sorry, I love my diesel to be honest. It's a warm hatch with 50mpg, the way forward given the general cost hikes in living!!
If I could afford it I would spend a grand or so upping my power to GTI level, rather than purchase a GTI! It's more fun..... and I love leaving people in a black cloud.
are we still friends? :love:
-
.... just to be clear, more fun in terms of the modifying process.... not necessarily to drive. I haven't driven a GTI so couldn't comment on that :smiley:

thanks for looking. Next on the list are spacers for the rear's, prob 15mm each side, 205 40's so I can get the front down some more and hopefully anything else the missus lets me buy whilst we're saving for a mortgage and wedding!!
-
looking really good--am saving up for a new header unit and front brakes,the g/f just said ok :signLOL:
-
cheers mate. what you head unit are you going for? Got mine as soon as I got the car just for the sole purpose or Blue Tooth and reasonable sound, and it's now hooked up to my new sub and amp. I will be going down the OEM sat nav route when funds allow..... which will be a while... according to the boss... :sad1:
-
I'm also looking for a Votex front splitter, non-gti. There's a guy on here selling one but I can't message him yet, will have to get my posts up... .
-
putting in the alpine ine-s900r at the end of next month--who are you trying to contact about the spltter as i will drop him a pm for you
-
Sup Noob!
Welcome, there are lots of us oil burners on here. TDi is the new GTi :ashamed:
-

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,35517.msg449323.html#msg449323
Cheers for that. I live in Dorset but I'll be travelling up to the midlands to visit family next week so could possibly collect it on my way.
Glad there's a few TDI folk here then! Torque and fuel economy FTW!!!
-
hello from another dirty oil burner.
good bit of progress on your motor by the looks of things.
-
sent him a pm to here :happy2:
-
Hey Kev. yeah it's gettin there mate, but still a bit of a way to go until it's juuuust how I want it ;) On the oil front, I use hardly any! Which is a surprise given I'm re-mapped and up to 107K.
Cheers for that maxitrol. I should be up to post count soon so I'll send him a PM also.
Friendly bunch on here aren't ya? :happy2:
-
I know they don't burn oil mate.

I find people on here very welcoming. :drinking:

Welcome from a diesel owner, but not just any diesel owner, another SAGE GREEN diesel golf. :happy2: check out my build thread for sum pics and ideas. I'm also selling off my exhaust tips if you're looking to put the GTI rear bumper on. :wink:

Thanks for the offer dude but I'm sticking to hidden pipes, eventually upgrading to a Votex rear valance.
