Ian's Laser Blue GTi ***New Pics***

[GrayMK5GTI]

Excellent 

I took my springs off last week (as I was swapping the car for a coupe version  )

And my rear shocks were on their way out (after only 57k miles  ) so i'd highly recommend swapping your shocks when you do your springs

After yesterday's Revo revelation (so happy with the power now) I've decided to concentrate on the handling and stopping!

.... - Such mods make a huge and positive difference to the joy of driving and also better balance a performance modded car, IMO.

Have you bought a Scirocco Graeme?

Dirty diesel one too

Is it a 170? Any plans?

Yup a 170 common rail model (same as MK6 GTD), it's fantastic for a diesel. Very responsive (nearly as response at the GTI  ) exhaust note isn't bad either, and it's achieves 40+mpg even with a heavy right foot  

No plans as yet, just a good going over with Autoglym and Colinite to protect it for the winter - once I can peel the dealer sticker out of the window  

I'll stick around on here and help out folk where I can. I think a trip to JKM is in order for the next dyno day  

Will probably see you there. . .

Great news that you've found a way to keep the car and to start modding it again

Thanks Nodz, It was a case of 2 weeks in Jamaica, or keep my car for ever! Not a difficult decision to be honest. I get real joy from my car every single day, even when I don't drive it, I just go and look at it! I park it in the shared car park of my flats so it's right in front of me as I do the washing up!

....And I bet that, like me, every time you park it you turn around and give it a few admiring glances as you walk away - Just like you do when you walk past a pretty girl in the street.

I'll be there! I'll be wearing my Goodyear slippers in the kitchen, and keeping my head well away from granite worktops

You could wrap yourself up in bubble wrap for extra protection

Indeed I do Robin, although with my car I don't bend my knees, scrunch up my face and rub my thighs, ala Vic Reeves!
