Oooo good work hedge. Will have to work my way around the forum and acquire hints and tips :)

In the reply box Rachael click the insert image or from Photobucket use the links with the tags round them.

Oh, and we'd like to see photos...............

And some of the car  

Ha ha, good work Robin, always going to go for those, hook, line and sinker! 



Did you notice how subtle I was in setting it up so someone else (you, Ian) would suggest that Rachael post pics of herself   (with her car of course).

[RedRobin]

No way, small world. Where abouts are you from?

Omg how pink is that! Looks actually quite hot in pink.

Here's my baby, debating a subtle tint on the back?!

....Where I'm from is a very long story but I'm based in coastal West Dorset currently.

Yeah, that 'hot pink' was a fellow forumite's Photoshop joke - Lots of great banter on this forum.

Your car looks like mine did when new but 7 years and 100,000 miles later she has had a few mods done! This forum is very good at persuading you to spend lots of money on your ride - You have been warned.

Looks nice. U should get it sprayed that colour lol. U had a remap done? Any difference? I can't afford much at the moment, im 21 so my insurance went up quite a bit :(

....I have seen cars sprayed that hot pink colour and I expect you have too, but not for me!

Yes, I'm on Revo Stage 2 and was Stage 1. There is most definitely a difference when you remap but the standard Mk5 GTI is a great car and quite fast anyway. It's better to get used to a car's power before considering remapping. Plenty to read and learn on this forum and if you want to start any threads to ask anything, you'll find that everyone is extremely helpful (especially as you are a girlie and most of us are blokes).

Take your time and don't feel you have to modify at all 

[Rachael]

What bhp u running at now then?! I had my last gold remapped, which was slightly more.fun, but I imagine.it.would be terrifying in the.gti,.I seem to run out of road lol!

Haha, aways useful being a.girlie :).

Thanks very much for.ur advice and to everyone.else thanks :).

Hopefully, meet u all in.the flesh one.day!.

It's not all about max bhp, Rach. You really don't want to witness any willy waving (or do you!?) 

But as you ask, my K03 (turbo same as yours) GTI runs between 260-270 bhp on Stage 2. I could get more but the power delivery is smooth and without wheelspin. I also have a lot of handling mods because I like a well balanced car.

Stage 1 (with a high-flow exhaust) would probably give you about 240 bhp.

Take it steady and power shouldn't terrify you - Use it to drive more safely and with less stress.

[Saintsteve]

[MC71]

Welcome along Rachael, nice car!

This place will soon become your home from home. As mentioned, plenty of invaluable advice, laughter and plenty of ribbing! No doubt you will get PLENTY of attention advice, being a young lady in a bright Red (the best colour) Mk5 GTI.

I love this thread!

I used to have a.black golf, and couldn't cope with cleaning it! However,red does feel like a faster colour ;).

 Willy waving? Sounds intriguing!

Oooo 270bhp tasty. Im thinking poss tinted windows, remap, n non resonated exhaust!

Would love to come to meets, just gotta find one that's not a million miles from me :)

....You are intrigued by willy waving!!? Gosh!   

You sound like a very sporting gal who loves cars but can hold her own in the banter 

Black is notoriously difficult to keep clean. Tornado Red is one of the best n deepest reds on any car I've seen.

[Tfsi_Mike]

What was you saying about keeping it clean Robin?



 

[Rachael]

Definetly intrigued! I wanna Willy wave, or is there a female equivalent:p.

Got to me a tee there robin!

Oooo but u just got owned by mike! Well done mike ;)
