Title: New lad from sunderland
Post by: VWPalmer on October 23, 2012, 11:53:17 pm: Just thought I'd put a quick intro up as I've been on the forum a little while now and got some great info and I'm finally picking my gti up on friday. :laugh: :driver:

I'll be putting another thread up to try and get some advice on what the best starting performance modifications are to make soon.

Here is a quick car history, no real performance cars here :sad1:

First car mk2 jetta 1.3

and kind of how I want it to end up but with 350-400bhp. Not really going all out on looks with this mainly want it to handle well and be fast :D.
