DaBoy3000's GT Tdi 140+ *March 2012 loads of new pics/updates on page 4*
« on: December 30, 2010, 11:21:48 am »
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.

I got some gti side skirts and bumper which are being painted this week, I'm bidding on a gti exhaust at the moment and then a remap will be done by AMD hopefully later this month.

That will do for a while at least

I know can't wait, I had my Leon FR done and achieved 192bhp with enough torque to spin the earth, after that and my Porsche the Golf just feels a bit gutless at the mo!

I bought it in May 2010 and soon after it needed a new clutch & flywheel, new brakes all round, 2 new tyres, header tank, ignition switch, link arm, starter motor and a few other bits + fuel, tax, mot and insurance. I did know that some of this needed doing when I bought it but with money the way it is these days I thought it was unfair to my family to keep sinking money into it.

I loved my Leon FR+ TDi so I'm hoping to recreate a VW version.

I finally got it back from the workshop and although it cost a bit more than I thought it would I am very happy with the results, It was well worth getting all the grain smoothed out of the skirts, rear bumper and front splitter.  

I will take some better pics once its had a clean and the sun comes out!
