Right ive been knocking around this forum as a member for a while now and as a visitor even longer. I dont think theres a way of better introducing myself than in a build thread so here goes
My name is Sam, im 24 and i live here
We Cornish are an odd bunch but one thing is certain, we bloody love our VW's
My car history is all french sadly but the last one was an insane amount of fun,
This is my 140bhp 106 GTi, it weighed just 920kg so as you can imagine it was good fun
.........Oh yeah, i forgot to add, it also had silly doors. They were on the car when i bought it (cheap as it was f*cked) and my original plan was to remove them but they were fun
The problem with this was (believe it or not) it was always broken so i used my girlfriends car while it i was repairing it,
It wasnt a bad run around, fullSS, panel filter samco hoses, lowered and Borbet A's.
Sadly it looks sh*te in these pics but there all ive got lmao
This had 225k on th clocks and never skipped a beat, its a rare colour and it was in superb condition (when it was polished)
Anyway, enough of the old sh*te, in with the new.
Me and my partner decided to get a mk5 between us for now, and after searching for a while we found one at our local VW and to put a long story short, we bought it on christmas eve,
Went and weighed it and its a heavy old brute, 1360kg
sh*t iPhone pics but we all know what a standard mk5 looks like.
Specs :-
- 36k miles, FVWSH
-iPod connection
-Lux pack 1
Not high spec but its certainly a step up from a 106 and a mk2.
Im not modding straight off as im waiting for my warranty to run out, plus im getting married next year which turns out to be expensive, however i will when i can, hopefully for players (September)
My plans are:-
-silly lows
-silly stretch (As i know how you guys love that sort of thing)
-Induction kit
-Full SS
-FMIC
-re-map (R-Tech ideally)
-Double din headunit
-retrofit Cruise
-retrofit Armrest
Thats it for now but im sure the plans will change the more i hang around here
Cheers for reading
