Title: Hello from Portsmouth
Post by: GTTDiJoe on December 02, 2012, 07:45:40 pm

Hi All,

Recently decided to move on up in the world, so sadly sold my Mk1 Skoda Fabia VRs and got my hands on this beauty, 04 Golf GT TDi 140bhp (Hope you can accept an old soot chucker  :wink: ) Sorry for the awful pic, dark night and black car means naff photos! :-

(https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/32325_10151355361628594_830736853_n.jpg)

Spec wise it's got:-

• Auto lights
• Auto wipers
• Auto Dimming Mirror

Current plans are:-

• Sort the white worm riddled boot badge
• Remap (currently it feels a little slower than my old Fabia, so that needs sorting  :wink: )
• RNS510 (Need a new CAN Gateway from what I've been reading)
• Retro fit a set of xenon headlamps possibly!

Anyway, been a lurker for a while now, so thought it was high time I joined!

Look forward to getting stuck in!

Cheers for looking

Cheers mate, glad I'm not the only one.

Just read through your build thread, looks a cracking car! How hard was the highline display to fit and how the hell do you keep it so clean!?

Welcome Joe. Think a map is a must on these, they map to around 200 bhp without much fuss I believe.

Cheers Wattso, I think from reading 180bhp is a reliable figure, which is a little more than what my Fabia had so should be fun  :fighting:

Cheers Chris, at least with the night shots it's hard to see how dirty it is at the moment!  :happy2: Will try and get some daylight pictures this weekend after I've cleaned her
