Welcome,

I've recently bought my first Golf GTi and I swear, it's the best car i've owned.  It's brilliant, and considering it's also one of the oldest cars I've owned there are no rattles or squeaks. 

My friends 55 plate mondeo already feels like an older car.

better get some 16v if you want to make it faster (easier and cheaper) :wink:
Title: Re: MK3 GTI
Post by: Jimmy Filth on 10 November 2010, 23:21
Cos the GTi's are naturally aspirated remapping/chipping only releases about 5-10 horsepower.  You can always supercharge it  :rolleyes: haha
Title: Re: MK3 GTI
Post by: gti-girl on 10 November 2010, 23:28
OH GOODNESS!! thats rather dissapointing,no point in chipping it then!! do you know what the bhp is on the 8v?
but on the upside to the car having 4 doors is such a luxery lol!!  :smug:
Title: Re: MK3 GTI
Post by: gatis.abelitis on 10 November 2010, 23:48
if its Golf III Gti 2.0 8v should be 115bhp!
Title: Re: MK3 GTI
Post by: Len on 11 November 2010, 09:42
Its more like 5 bhp MAX! And thats on a 16V, on an 8V you would be lucky to see 3 bhp!
Title: Re: MK3 GTI
Post by: MissGTI on 11 November 2010, 10:22
should of kept the tigra, she was 104 bhp and much lighter, not as safe as the Golf though and it had silly little lillie pad seats in the back, not good for car seats.
