Tjs Irish GTI
« on: February 26, 2010, 12:21:14 pm »
Alright lads,

My names T.j

Just came across this site today, Have my GTI 2 yrs, Bought it when i was 20, It was parked up for a month because know one would insure me in it! Anyways thats old news, Drove it standard for a year then got into modding!!

Heres some pics!

The day i picked it up:





Then i went to 18'' Detroits, For a week, Then got these horiffic yolks,






The second last pic shows my track car - GTI6 -  :evilgrin:

At this stage i wanted new wheels again, Hated the S4 crappy reps, I wanted CHs, Black and a red lip!!







During this i had got a remap, A miltek Cat back, Also a little lower!!












Id been noticing it was down on power, Bit of reasearch showed it was probably the Diverter Valve, Oredered up the piston type diverter valve, while i was in there i put in a forge spacer, the dumpvale!

Then i wanted an Intake, Went with the Carbonio CAI, looks cool and i got it right from the states, Didnt mind waiting!

One night i was working a late shift, was flicking on ebay, Rns510 - 22mins to go- €459, Yes please!! Made a bid and won it at €465












Up to last week it looked like this, Got sick of the Time attack look, Was a bit too ''JAP''!!

This is how it looks now, Crap pics but you get the idea!






Im off to OZ on tuesday for a month, When i get back and start saving its K04 + Coilover time!

People say ive ruined it by taking off the red lip but its more subtle! Getting too old for lary wheels!!

All C&C welcome!!

Wow, didn't know that GTI's also came with the option of Pure Beige leather interiors (like my soot chucker).

Good to know if I ever wanted a new set of GTI chairs for mine, they do exist !

My Soot Chucker interior





Look familar ?

Love the new look with the CH's as well  :happy2:
