Title: Howdy
Post by: Hilla on February 18, 2012, 12:35:52 pm

Hi All,

Just thought I'd pop in and say hello - have been browsing this site for a few months now after picking up my Tornado red ED30 in December.

It's the second 2.0 TFSI I've owned (had a modified candy white Mk2 Leon Cupra 2 years ago which I loved), and am loving every minute of GTI ownership so far!

I'll stick a project thread up later as I've started to modify the car already, much to the disgust of my other half!

Cheers!

Welcome from a fellow newb with a tornado red E30 too! Your car looks low - first mod? I've already started down the slippery modding slope too (my wife also not feeling the love!)  :stupid:

Thanks!  :smiley:

Yeti, it wasn't the first mod but it was done fairly recently. Bought some AP coilovers as I was impressed by them on another car I owned. Not sure how many more mods I can get away with to be fair lol.

Recent pics of how it sits now:

 :drool: It looks amazing Hilla, love it. Gorgeous stance... I'm having my wheels refurbed matt black next month, have been eyeing up Eibachs and a remap too... Not sure how much more than that I can swing past the wife!  :innocent:

That'll look nice with the wheels matt black. Remap is something I definitely want to do too, the stage 2 P-torque map I had on my Mk2 Leon Cupra was fantastic, really transformed the car. Stage 1 is also not too bad either!  :grin:

Lovely car mate, red with silver alloys always looks mint, especially  those BBS CH's!

Nice!  :happy2:

Thanks! Don't know whether to keep the wheels silver or change the colour.  :laugh:
