Cant believe its going - GONE
« on: October 12, 2009, 08:20:26 pm »
Well after just 2 short years the GTI has been sold  :sad1:  By far the best car i have ever owned!

The only reason im not keeping her is because i am at the top of what i can afford with the std car.  I cannot afford to do a re map, no little body mods or upgrade the car in any way.  Its not that i think the car needs it, its just i have modded all prevoius cars and i just cant afford to do anything to this.......

But fear not, i havent gone far.  Just done a deal on a 56 plate Audi A4 S line 170D  :happy2:  I know i said never to the devils fuel but the running costs are WAY lower and i will be able to afford mods on this car!  Managed to get 11K PX on the GTI which i was pleased with considering its got close to 60K on the clock...  

So the list of mods is Loooooong
Full Leather Re trim
New double din sat nav head unit
re map (Obvoiusly)
new wheels 19"
Coilovers
brake upgrades
some carbon details
rs4 steering wheel
exhaust


Happy days  :happy2:

i was going to trade my gt tdi in for either a R32 or Ed30
but like you say its the running costs that made me think twice about it--i know they are faster but mine will cruise in 6th gear at 80mph pullling 55 to the gallon :happy2:

I hope the running costs are as low as you wish for - however my MK2Leon FR TDI (170) had a DPF fitted which knocked the fuel consumption massively.  I was lucky to see 42-43 on a long run (90 miles).  Assuming the Audi has a DPF?

I got rid off my 170 for that reason.  You can get DPF delete pipes now, and remaps to suit, so bear that in mind when you do remap.

Anyway get some pics up - You know the rules..........................
