Hi all, had my black Pirelli for a couple of months now, loving it! Bought her to replace my M3 which i've owned for 4 1/2 years which I really need to get round to selling lol!
So far I've added GTi seat inserts on the handles, a GTi footrest, Pirelli logo on the dash strip a la edition 30 and a couple of forum stickers :happy2:
Tomorrow i'm replacing the ditch finder tyres with Pirelli's and next week she's getting exhaust, remap and induction fitted
:smiley:

Worse...... Durun's..... lethal in the wet! Dealers will put anything on to save a couple of quid! Can't wait to finally feel what she's supposed to handle like!

How do you find it compared to the M3?. Like the look of the Pirelli from the outside but can't get my head round the seats & yellow stitching.Sorry.
-
Compared to the M3 the Golf doesn't feel as special, handle as we'll or sound as good.....but does 95% of what the M&A does for half the running costs! Has that same feel of fantastic everyday usability but a blast when the situation occurs......plus on todays roads the Golf is just as fast but has more usable power! The M3 is the longest I've kept a car and I'm sure the Golf will stay with me just as long! Been from 1994 Renault 19 16v to 95 Corrado VR6, 02 Civic Type R, Celica GT4, FTO GPX, BMW 328i sport and then the M3 and a couple of cars not worth mentioning LOL
-
Looking good, although I would say that! It will feel a whole lot different once you have got it mapped and the exhaust on! :happy2:
-
Can't wait! Tuesday can't come quick enough! :driver:
-
Stupid predictive input on my phone keeps changing M3 to M&A :stupid:
-
You'r M3 does look great. :happy2:
-
Thanks! I am going to miss her when she's gone......not going to miss the cost of insurance, tyres, petrol......
-
Pirelli's now on....Durun A Ones in the bin.....where they belong!
-
Yesterday I fitted cat back non res milltek, ITG and stage 1 remap at AmD.... I know they're not everyone's favourite but I can't fault their service. Firstly rolling roaded at 229bhp, then 245bhp with the exhaust and ITG.....then 312bhp/326ib ft after the remap....
Drives great....faster than the M3.....
Next step.....Sunday fitting Eibach springs and Prosport Evo boost gauge

-
Found her in a Peugeot garage of all places!
-
Damn this weather....was looking forward to fitting springs and boost gauge today......hopefully clears up on Tuesday :smiley:
-
Looks Awesome! but then all Pirelli's do :notworthy:
Do the floor mats have a Pirelli badge?

Not unless you get some custom made! :wink:

Lovely car... but it looks like it sits quite high compared to mine (OEM springs) :stupid:

ITG :grin:
-
Nice!!!
Bet she now sounds like a Pirelli should :happy2:
-
Now she sounds :evilgrin:
More work today.....Eibach springs, boost gauge and footrest :happy2:
Will post pics later!
-
So the rain spoilt my fun again on Tuesday, finally fitted the footrest, kind of fitted the boost gauge (problems with the ECS boost tap) and the Eibach's will have to wait.....again!
-
Been a long time since my last update! Never did get round to fitting the Eibach's but sold them to a fellow forum member! Although I've only owned the car for a short while I've decided to sell her due to personal reasons.....going to be sad to see her go..... :sad:

Them mats look the bees knees! :pomppomp:
