Hi Folks
I've been hanging around a few Golf forums for a bit and this one seems to have the best community with the most helpful members, so I thought I would introduce myself and show off my new ride.
I used to be a member of Boxa.net and Seatcupra.net, I like to be as helpful as possible on the forums, but I have a lot to learn about the mk5's so bare with me.
Previous cars include - in no particular order and missing out the bangers!!
Fiesta XR2
Fiesta XR2i
BMW 325 E30
MK1 Golf Clipper
MK1 Golf GTi
MK2 Golf GTi 8v
Golf MK4 GTi 2.0, 1.8T, TDi 130bhp, Bora TDi 130bhp (all company cars when I used to be a VW salesman)
Corrado 16V
Seat Ibiza GTi
Seat Leon FR+ TDi (Remapped to 192bhp)
Skoda Superb TDi 130bhp
Porsche Boxster 2.5 (an amazing car but was costing me around £1000 a month to run, now sold)
and now.....
MK5 GT TDi 140bhp
I have lots planned for this car including new bumpers, springs, exhaust , wheels and a remap.
So far I have replaced the OEM stereo with an Alpine X100 IDA and put a GT badge on the steering wheel. Replacing the stereo was a lot more work than I'm used to, I needed a fascia plate, aerial booster cable, aerial adaptor, wiring loom and had to run a ignition live to the fuse box, but it was well worth it. If anyone needs help doing this I will be happy to answer any questions.
Stay tunned for updates.
