Gt Sport TDi 170ps Owner
« on: October 30, 2010, 09:05:16 am »
Hi All,

Been lurking for some time and thought it may be a good idea to pop up some pics of my current car I have had for the last 18 months and introduce myself :smiley:

Use the Golf as my daily hack, although it will be going in the new year with an ED30 purchase for the missus :jumpmove:

Really impressed with the numbers the GTi's make with relatively cheap mods, I come from the land of Honda tuning and had a Civic Type-R running a Jackson Racing Supercharger and285bhp...thing is it cost the best part of about £7k to achieve :stupid:

Anyhows the dirty diesel pics....and a couple of my previous cars.





and a couple of my previous toys..











It's a great site you have here and I look forward to getting involved within the community  :chicken:

Yup Williams 1 No. 354 back in 1999 when I bought it, absolutely loved that car and relatively problem free for a Renault :grin:

Loads of plans for the Golf but got a new job earlier this year and getting a company car in Jan/Feb means this will go and my modding can be aimed at the GTi pruchase.

Have to admit I really wanted another Integra Type-R and to supercharge it but the missus has refused point blank to drive one with the chav spoiler etc :grin:

We have compromised on a modded ED30...not a bad compromise by all accounts.

Hi and welcome.

As above, a few people are selling up so there may well be the ideal-specced car for you.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Cheers fella, I have obviously had some not so great cars too but there's no need to go into those :innocent:

Sunny - thanks for grill, not sure whether to get the rest of te Gti vents and fit to my car or wait for the Gti purchase...maybe just a trial fit!!

Well your getting a GTI in couple months so may aswell wait for the car to arrive and put the grille on then, Trial fit it on the TDI for fitment sounds good, the fit is perfect just like the OEM grille.  :happy2:

A trial fit has been carried out of my first mod for a GTi I don't own yet :ashamed:







It wont stay on the derv but it fits beautifully and will look ace  on a black car as we plan to buy :pomppomp:
