Title: Hello
Post by: jacko1289 on May 23, 2013, 10:49:17 pm

Hello all,

Just introducing myself as I have just picked up my first golf  :smiley:........ i'm so happy with it and its a massive improvement in every way on the fiesta zetec s I had previously! Loving how it is at the moment but its not gunna be long before i start making some changes.....

The plans:

Brakes- probably the only thing letting the car down to be honest, probably going for an S3 conversion.
Turbo back exhaust either Milltek or BCS.
Stage 1 remap, either REVO or AMD....... any opinions??
RNS 510, i'm going to hold on for the for the DAB version when one pops up, if someone by any chance has one going give me a shout  :happy2:
R32 style rear bumper, with standard GTI exhaust cut out.
ED30 front splitter.
Open front grills.
Eibach lowering springs.
10mm spacers all round.

..... and probably more along the way.

Yeah that flippin rain again ay, I have the same car in silver and although the deeper colours are more rewarding with the deep shine you can get mine never really looks dirty and is very forgiving.
I love to see a black car when the sun's gone in and it's gleaming... sweet as :happy2:
