Tommy's Tornado Red GTI

[Tommyt90]

Been on here a while now and thought it was time to do a build thread.
First car I got was a mk5 gt tdi 140 didn't really have much spec but was a massive upgrade from a corsa c

All I did to this was a revo remap which totally changed the car.
As my insurance was due I thought I'd see what a gti was like. Anyways it was afford able so I got 1. This is what she looks like


2006 58k on the clocks iPod connection and the usual gti cloth trim 18' monzas. It's so hard to find a gti with all the spec you want. Anyways after I had this a month or so I caught the bug and bought some coilovers.

Nice and cheap. Few mates are running them and said they couldn't complain. Here a few Pics after she was lowered.


I then though she was high so the rear adjusters came out



Then the front went down a little


Still room for more lows :)

Then I hit the forums insta websites for the next buy as I was getting bored so this happened autotech cai.
Not much happened then until I went to a few shows got some ideas and then got a deal at the awesome gti bash where I bought a non res milltek cat back. But after I few days I realised that I should off got a turbo back and nearly had a heart attack when I asked for a decat and downpipe price. So that night I became a eBay warrior and bought an eBay special for £100 delivered.

Few pictures of it being put on


Bought a little plate from inters. I think full sized plates make the front look shocking

Nout happened for a few weeks until I got some new wheels what completely changed the car. Which took about 3 months to come 3sdms 0.05 staggered.




You've gotta love the mk5 rear end.
But it caught like a mofo so went to get some rear camber

No messing full camber. Here's a few more off how it's sits



I ran 225/40 rear and 215/35 front. So with the 35 profile it made it look high so down she went the night before players.

The filthy whore

My favourite picture
And a few more

Few more pics here from my phone. I bought a forge twintake as I got bored off the auto tech
Sounds so better and can tell a difference.
Always on New Year's Day my car was parked up at the shop when some old geezer decided he wanted to slam his car into mine. This was the out come. Defo weren't happy and a happy new year to tommy

Can't really tell on the body work but it's a mess to the eye

The man wouldn't pay so it's gone through the insurance.
As she was feeling sorry for her self I thought it would only be fair if I bought somat new to cheer her up. Bought some milltek gt80 pipe ends.


Looks so much better in my opinion. Also ordered a new south boost gauge and pod which is to be paid for and collected.
The my mate found a bargain and again I couldn't resist bbs ch 8 front and 9 rear et42.

These shall be going on this week at some time.
Then on Sunday night I bought this from a member on here.

Plans are to do all the honey Combe grills matte black. Will update once the new wheels are on.
