[GTIMatt]

cheers mate, no i got the car from someone that does work for Forge, they have been using it as there demo for a while, hopefully it will be on teh Forge stand at internationals this year. It is going into the GTI international special addition mag

wow thatll be crazy speeds! I assume youre taking it down the track at some point?

[GTIMatt]

yeah it is rapid.. not sure about track yet lol

[jonnym]

That's mint, always loved that car. I had a Astra vxr once but yeh. The front plate kinda spoils it!

[GTIMatt]

take it you have seen it around then? fellow vxr convert lol, alot people selling up now bud, getting too common and going for not alot of money 

[berg]

if you want to push significantly past 360ish you will need wmi or change turbo to Loba perhaps? but beware greater lag on the lo4xx

Lol yeh. I had mine for about a year but being a 18 yr old lad at the time I was murdered on insurance and fuel costs were high. I worked hard for it but as you say too common and vxrs generally was another name for chav! Solo true looking at some of mates :p Decent power for cheap though and can look mint. Moved onto a mk4 r32 until the gf broke it for 2 years then my current golf. Love it to bits! :)

Seen your golf at a few shows, not in person but yeh it's lovely. I'm slowly getting to how I want mine to be....plans 360/380. Bet yours is/will be a Porsche killer!

yeah it is mate...i thought the VXR was fast at 300bhp , but this is an animal  im looking into upgrading the turbo, going to pop to r=tech to see what magic then can work for me. The previous owner had it at 360 that was before the audi s3 engine was dropped in so be interesting to see what power difference it makes

[GTIMatt]

[GTIMatt]

dont need LSD as yet grip is immense and puts the power down sweet, well if the roads are dry

ahh wicked. No other handling mods apart from those mentioned? Just out of curiousity really! :p My main concern was just spinning with the power but happy days. Your rear lights need lamin X'ing!!

[GTIMatt]

no mate just those that are mentioned, more looking into turbo at the min tbh got a few cosmetic mods lined up, rear brake lights are on the list with carbon wrapping inside door handles etc

[blackmagic]

Very nice spec car their fella. You prob should blank out you reg with photoshop or similar tho don't want any unwelcome visitors.

[bushypad]

Sweet ride mate! Which mod do you think helped you put the power down most effectively?!
