So I got finally got myself a mk5 GTI. And I love it! Best handeling car I've owned so far!
I've allways been into the VW scene before I started driving. Ive allways owned a VW.
First car was a mk2 polo 1.3 GT
Then. I got a mk2 Golf Driver 1.8. Got bored of that and swapped engine out for a 1.8 turbo tuned to about 200 hp
Then I decided I wanted something new and got a mk4 Golf GT TDI. Never got along with it so traded it in for this mk5 golf gti.
I love this car and I can see me keeping it for a long while.
I'll upload some pics soon. Im on my iPhone at the moment.

For some reason its developed a REALLY annoying rattle from the back end.... (probably due to all these crappy roads around here haha) :fighting:
I think that it's coming from the boot lid. So I'm going to attempt to take that apart and see what's what today. (if the rain holds off that is) :wink:
-
Check your balls :grin:
Nah usually mate if there is a noise coming from your boot its the strings for the parcel shelf :happy2:

Hahaha :laugh: I read that first line and thought... EH? :happy2:
Just finished messing around with the car, :confused:
Took the plastic cover off the inside of the boot lid and i was confused at first, i couldn't see anything that would cause it.
So i stripped the back lights out and found that the left light had a rattle. The red reflector inside was rattling around, looks like they are a sealed unit and i couln't ge inside of the bloody thing. But i managed to sort it out by pushing it back into position and dropping a bit of super glue on the little tabs that hold it.
YAY fixed. :grin:

Looking good! What are the long term plans?
-
Well not got anything set in stone really. kinda see how it goes lol
I want to get some wheels for it, Thinking maybe 3dsm 0.01
Then i would want to lower it a bit with some good quality coilovers. Then possibly upgrade to air later.. :jumping:
Thinking about getting the roof vinyl wrapped, either in black or a print idea im thinking about (can't tell) lol
I want to color code the bumper valance, trims etc.
i want a nice double din radio with navigation. And maybe a stealth sub.
Engine wise, at the mo i just wanna get an intake, get a downpipe and get a stage 2 map for now.
:laugh:
