Title: MK3 Mad!
Post by: Sprakie2008 on 08 April 2012, 17:09
Hey guys! New member to the forum so thought I would first off post a little introduction about me and my cars!

I am a bit of a dub mad head! love them, especially the original ones!

A very close friend of mine has a Corado G60 (Supercharged) with various mods to it with over 200BHP coming out of it, and have helped him all the way along the way from it being completly standard sharing both of our various mechanic exerience and knowledge. Then a few weeks ago i decided it was maybe about time i got myself my own dub, and ever since they first came out have always wanted a mk3 GTI.

Luckily i knew someone which was selling one which was basically standard, with not much over 100k on the clock so as expected snatched his hand off! So she is now sat on the drive waiting for the work to begin!

Heres a few pictures for you anyway!

Basically I have big plans to modify her at the minute, performance over looks every time for me i am afraid!

So watch this space!

Thanks for the welcome's lads! :)

Basically, first few jobs on my list of to-do's are getting the flywheel lightened, new cam shaft and advance the timing slightly, new front to back stainless exhaust and see where it stands from there. I do have an Eaton m45 charger sat in the garage but looking at the insurance quotes afterwards I don't think i'm going to fit that right away! after that we shall have to see!
