thanks jv

after being influenced by everyone at the prept meet i decided to get myself a silver 1.8 gti T, 51 plate with just under 59,000 miles on the clock, FSH, just had the cambelt, water pump and various other things done in the last service about 2 months ago, heated leathers, climate control. completly standard

really pleased with it, picked it up for £3500 which i thought wernt a bad price, its got a few minor scuffs and scratches and a kinda big chip in the bonnet but nothing to major that cant be sorted.

will post a few piccies when i get home from work

now i got some space in my bay because i removed the airbox i finally got round to replacing the original vacuum hose for a blue one
original...

new one...


also replaced the faded looking coupler for my induction kit. new one only cost a total of about a tenner from siliconhoses.com

old one...

new one...



on sunday i went to a rolling road day down at AmD in essex. got 155bhp and 160 lb/ft of torgue which i thought was good considering the only performance mod was a CAI
