Title: Newbie from Stirling mk5 golf gti
Post by: Shenanigans on 15 March 2017, 20:00

Hey,

Thanks for accepting me to the forum. Picking up my 07 plate shadow blue golf gti tomorrow. Can't wait to get back into something decent again!

Long story short, sold my old Z4 3ltr as I needed the extra space and money.

Bought a classic 99 4 door impreza pushing 330hp..loved it...tried to convince myself I could run it as a daily. Ha....nah.

Sold that for a 12 plate Astra SRi.... But being a bit of a petrol head I was disappointed when it came to my commute home etc.

Sold that for the golf! Hopefully many happy miles ahead! And can finally get back into a few pistonhead runs.

Hoping to get some more knowledge from the forum. I've said to myself I'm keeping it standard and clean and only upgrade parts once they perish. But I'm already watching a ram air induction on eBay.... 

Looking at exhausts already, standard exhaust tips I think are the usual black covered dirt. Hopefully they'll polish up. If not maybe get something with abit more noise.

Will post pictures of it once I pick it up.

Cheers

Brad

They should polish up.
Youll probally be dissapointed with the gti in standard form. But nothing a remap wont sort out.
Welcome btw

I was chuffed with the amount of torque it has as standard but that was just around the twisty rounds near the dealership.
