im getting my first golf gti in a few weeks and i dont really know the vw scene as ive allways had vx's.
Ive got the mrk5 gti, tt or the r8? in mind for the rims,
black rear lights
angel eyes,
panel filter,
just unsure what can be done to the 2.0's engine wise i.e have they got a fpr and can you uprate it also what exhausr systems are good, looking for a straight through cat back and twin backbox.
any ideas, tips and info will be greatfull. :wink:
-
lambo door, wings west body kit :cool: :lipsrsealed: :laugh:
-
Orange paint and 3 18" subs in the back
and your have a car which looks like the mk2 at volksfest last weekend :laugh: :laugh: :sick:

Tuning wise, there is little point with the 2.slow.
Unfortunately, you bought the wrong car. 1.8T is the tuners choice.
Ditch the Angel eyes. your not driving a BMW. Anni headlights or R32 are the ones you want.

i aint brought the car for speed mate, there are very few 18T for sale in my area and the ones i looked at where sheds, ive just sold my vectra gsi msd 0001 which i had that for speed and speed gets you nowhere with 9 points. :laugh: believe me i would of had the 1.8T if one was to my liking but there only 150bhp anyways so hardley qiuck mate.

No worries - a lot of people buy the 2.0 litres aiming to tune them and tbh, a remap and exhaust don't really get you many gains. It might make it drive a bit smoother, but other than that.
Exhaust wise, I think most people will recommend Milltek. They seem to be the exhaust of choice around here.
Edit: Oh, and with regards to 'the scene' - subtle OEM look always goes down well. :cool:
