Hi My name is Jon
Im new to this forum but not to VAG cars! have owned, maintained and modified several golfs GTI's and Passats and am currently in a 2.6 V6 Audi 80 Cabriolet. I am a pretty practical chap and have an extensive tool collection that I have named
im a bit sad like that! haha. I have worked on everything from MK1 Gti's to LHD MK2 GTi G60's and also keeping my mums 1998 MK4 Golf rolling and serviced. Have even helped rebuild a Lancia Delta Intergale EVO 1 and 2 and anything is easier than working on them!
I have recently been working on a friends T5 Transporter replacing / rebuilding the turbo and blanking off the egr valve lowering it 45mm and its now on 20" BBS style rims, next is a custom retrim some serious ICE.
This year im searching for a new mk5 Gti to replace my Audi as its getting long in the tooth! id love to take to stage 2 maybe 3 depending on what parts I can source! Im currently looking for a MK5 GTi black, 3 door, manual as Im old fashioned and dont trust the DSG boxes as I can replace a normal clutch myself but wouldnt know where to start with fixing a DSG!
have been reading the forum for ages and have only just been able to join due to the site admin issues great forum btw!
all the best
jon
