Title: Mk1 to Mk5
Post by: phatmuther on March 22, 2013, 07:34:29 pm

Been looking to get a Mk5 GTi for a while now and managed to pick one up last weekend.
Just a little bit different driving and comfort wise to the Mk1! 
It's had a stage one remap and is a wee bit quicker than I'm used to :scared:  :laugh:

Here they are together on a nice frosty morning.

Welcome. I love the pics . You have to keep the mk1, epic cars and where it all started. Is the mk1 kept standard?

Dick Lovett might offer a good few quid for the Mk1.

Now all you need is a mk2, 3, 4 in black to complete the set. Nice to see an unmolested mk1!

Cheers guys.

And yes, the Mk1 is completely standard. Had to change a few things, but back to the way it should be  :innocent:
