I need to stop looking at threads like this. I REALLY want to trade the VXR for a GTI now  :scared:

Corsa or Astra? Either way I would prefer a GTI, much better build quality, and easier/ nicer to mod. :wink:

Trimmed baby seat soon tho lol
Hope you're doing well.

You promised pics of a tricked-out baby buggy.  :party:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

so i thought its about time i bumped my thread, things have started to change steadily with the car, bits and bobs as and when.

so to start with i thought i should add a bit of performance so i fitted :
Forge twintake
Forge twintercooler
Forge DV spacer
S3 intercooler
Revision D DV
Exide battey - had to have a new battery as my old one died  :ashamed:
Milltek Non res TBE

(there will be pics to follow of some parts once i have cleaned the car, as a daily it gets dirty pretty quick )

Having a trip to PDT to meet Dave and get the following fitted:
HPFP Pump with KMD internals fitted
Revo stage 2+ with a bit of roller time to, i'll try and get a vid and i'll post up the graph if it dose'nt go bang  :rolleye:

also some new rims (im nearly as bad as Al)
and some body work but that is for the pics to do the talking

thats all for now folks

Ahem. I have had these wheels on for almost 8 months actually (longest I have had the same wheels on!  :signLOL:)
Looking forward to seeing the pics, are they the ones discussed?
What sort of figures are you expecting from the car? is it a case of body pretty much sorted so go for performance now? If so then that's how I am getting now too. :happy2:

lol @ your wheels mate, i know you'll end up with more for next year same as i will ha ha ha.....i have mine in the pipeline already  :rolleye: yh rims on now are as we talked about had them 8 weeks now.

body work is getting there mate, still needs a good detail but im happy, performance wise im hoping for around 280/280 they are what Dave@PDT said is achievable which is good for me im not going the K04 route as i want to keep it simple the mods i have now will be enough.

i still need to get a couple of bits done with the interior just a case of sorting a few bits as its a daily bus full show leather is a nightmare lol im constantly frightened of catching it and i caught the rear quater with Sofia baby seat  :ashamed:so Luke is going to sort that for me..

Immense this car hope i get the chance to see it next yr at shows? Gd work mate

thanks buddy, yuo will deffo get to see it at some point next year earlier rather than later i hope  :happy2:

your looks 900000000 time better now you have worked on it, looked tired last time i saw it but you work has made it a great car again  :happy2: love the wheels!! bentleys =  :confused:

cheers maxitrol  :wink:

thanks chaps,
lol no worries ben, i just like the simplicity of the US rear with standard looking exhausts, the led lights aren't really my cup of tea on a black car anymore

The R32 lights that are on the way should suit nicely Steve  :happy2:
