Why couldn't it be remapped to 292bhp?
Title: Re: I woulden't mind this beauty....
Post by: F17BAD on 03 October 2011, 22:29

storm always seem to over exaggerate their figures

you on about me ?  if so where ? 

lies are those that claim stupid BHP figures.... I'm a realist, some people don't like that because the truth sometimes hurts

revo claim 12bhp increase on these with a map, and exhaust will give you little if nothing, but lets say 5bhp to keep you happy

thats not 292 bhp

Horrid and £9500 for a Golf, think what that money could buy.

Gibbo - sorry dude :smiley:

Tbh I can believe 280ish bhp with the mods, stand alone ECU and remap. It's probably set up to be 'peakier' than a standard ECU? More power at the top but less elsewhere sort of thing?
I dislike the rear bumper but like the cut down lights  :cool:

No brown Golf3 will ever be worth £9500.

As the saying goes:

You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter

Which given the metallic brown of this thing appears to be exactly what's been done here.

I have no doubt it's possible to spend £9500 on a Golf3, but expecting it back suggests a life lived in cloud cuckoo land.

Nice finishing and detail work on this car but that ''euro'' look is soo 2003

I did hear lots of LOLZ at the shows with that price tag.

Those rear lights look like seat ibiza items?


ohh and   :sick:

lot of graft gone into that thing, i'm on the verge of liking it but na.  problem for me is when someone customises a car to this extent, I feel they make it personal to them and I wouldn't enjoy it the same.


Yes you are right... But you can still admire a car which has been modded to the extent of the one in question, even if it's not to everymans taste.

DH, DOA and F17BAD, keep the bickering to pm's, as I for one am getting more and more cheesed off with the 'my dads bigger than your dad' comments.
