Lovely looking car mate. Looks like a pretty similar spec to mine. I went from a little pug 106 to this and let's just say the journey home was full of smiles  :driver:
Armrest is on my list of things to do. What's your plan as I don't know where to even start

Ill be starting with wheels and suspension, arm rest and then performance mods next year. I dont really plan doing  anything crazy tbh i want to be sensible and not go overboard withthis one.
What 106 did you have, a gti?
Start up a newbie thread and gets some pictures up, welcome onboard  :happy2:

Sounds like a familiar plan. Fk high sports and possibly some 3SDM 0.01s for me I think. Just it to wait for funds to allow it!

Ha I wish it was a GTI, I had a 1.1 so the step was fairly huge. The boost just makes me laugh! How are you planning on sorting the armrest? Other than trying VW directly I'm not sure where to look.

Il have to get an Intro page sorted for mine  :happy2: it's a standard black more door but I couldn't be happier considering what I came from  :drinking: here's to the joint 106 to GTI upgrade! Never thought about a reflex silver till I saw yours but it looks SMART! Congrats and thanks for the welcome!

Yeah im a big fan of the reflex, the problem with this colour is most golfs are silver, but theyre miss treated and not waxed pften enough so the look dull, its actually a really nice colour with lots of different coloured flex in it, well chuffed.
Wow, 1.1 60bhp to boosted 2.0 litre, hell of a jump :driver: , i dont really think this is much quicker than the 106 low down, but after 90 this thing just keeps pulling :laugh: ! Black was my second choice its a beautiful colour but i cba with the maintenance  :smiley:
Ill probably keep an eye out on here for one thats for sale, failing that i garuntee the part numbers will be on here somewhere and ill source one from the stealsrs!  :happy2:

Nice car mate! Mine is the same colour! I'm selling mine but always wanted to get the RNS510 fitted, like the GTI badges on the seat handles.

I was starting to feel like i needed a little more go so i bought a rev G and decided to give it a swaperoo.
As i undone the last of the three bolts the dv exploded,
 

The diaphram was fine, with no rips or tears  :sad1: but i changed it anyway.

Seems to be pulling alot better in the high gears and feels like it wants to go a little more, not sure if its a placebo or if it has made a difference, but im much happier now knowing that everything is working perfectly.


Got bored yesterday and as the sun was out,








Also, Got some bits en route to my front door :happy2:
