Post by: clive_gti on August 05, 2013, 09:10:48 am: Welcome mate,

Nice car, wish i had one when i was 22 :)

For rubber check out:

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2
Michelin Pilot Sport 3

Loads of info on the forum about tyres, these two seem to get the best feedback.

Title: Re: Tims Tornado ! (finally some purchases.....)
Post by: Tim144 on October 29, 2013, 04:45:46 pm: After getting a loverly tax rebate from HMRC... :drinking:

I have got a few things in the pipe work once the insurance is paid off am look in to catback system for the golf.. most probably BlueFlame or EuroJet.

but whilst im waiting for that the Old Family have treated me for Christmas / birthday early...got it booked in for a detail at Midlands Car Care as it isn't far from work.. will get decent pictures up once its done!!!!

Starting to look in to parts ready for remap in January. already ordered the GFB DV+.

what else would people recommend defiantly getting a cat back and going to do Pre cat delete, but would you recommend getting and intake or just keep a panel until going stage 2.

cheers Tim
Title: Re: Tims Tornado !
Post by: Tim144 on October 31, 2013, 08:12:27 pm: Fitted my GFB DV+ .... And my god it's a pig on a K03 turbo.

Th quality of the part is brilliant and instructions are awesome. Only had a quick blast home but seems that it picks up better around 2500-3000 revs and in higher gears pick up is a lot more noticeable.. Couple of pictures..

I have been neglecting the car a little bit after falling out of love with it, having the abs wheel sensor ring fail I couldn't be bothered with even driving it so sat around for ages... Until today had it all fixed and then this happened...

Team Dynamics 1.2s with decent tires... In GOLDDD :pomppomp:

They scrubbed up front so did screw arch mod... Still scrubbing so going to get a smaller tire on there!
