lovely GTi, I love how they look stock when they are 3 door, in any of my fav colours (white, black, grey) with nice standard alloys

more power lower down. pulls very nicely. you have to really spank the honda to get results but its been a great car. not a problem with it at all.

cheers lads!

The K03 GTI torque is ok standard, but stage 1 they really start performing low down; should get a healthy 280lb/ft from a good stage 1 map; at under 3kRPM, makes it such a nice daily driver then.

Welcome btw. :happy2:
