Ello all, New to all this GTI malarky...
« on: 19 October 2009, 11:28 »
Ello all,

Well after 9 years of riding motorbikes on the road, and the fact of having a 1year old terror known as my Son, I decided its time to get 4 wheels and a roof, mainly for transporting nipper around and getting the shopping in (can only carry so much shopping on a bike :grin:)

This doesn't mean my bikes are taking a back seat, still riding my GSXR 1000K4 as my daily commuter (156 rwhp + 86lbft of torque, with a dry weight of 168 kg (370 lbs) it's not shy :laugh:) My YZ 426F Motocrosser, GSXR 750 streetfighter which I shoehorned a GSXR 1100 (1127cc Slingshot motor) engine into it, Just sold my GSXR 400 :cry:...

So, back to the car!

Passed my theory back in Febuary, Bought a Mk4 GTI Turbo, and have practical test booked for mid November....

Be nice to pass then, as being the grand old age of 25, I'm due a winter off from riding to work at 5am, with a stinging face and purple knuckles are only funny for the 1st 5 mins :grin:


So, I bought the car roughly about a fortnight ago, since then all I've done to it is fit a Newsouth off centre pod, boost gauge, Forge Splitter and a Carbonio cai and thats it!

In the advert, the pics didnt really show up the white wheels(or I wasn't really paying that much attention lol), but they've kinda grown on me now... White 18" RS6's...mmmm....

Iv'e been lurking on this site for a while now, so thought I'd say Hello!




Just be prepared to bollock me for non searched newbie Q's :wink:

 :grin:


Here she is...





Ps. I know this is a Golf forum, But couldn't resist lol

Cheers dude,

Being a Somerset man, can you recommend any local-ish Remap+chip centres?

Ello matey,

Touch wood, I've not had that many close shaves...as for the law got chased the other week.

Was riding to work early a.m., not long fitted a Titanium Racefit Slash exhaust to it (absolutely f**k all to it, sounds like a drag bike, you can just about see it in the pic I put up)

Not that proud of it, but needless to say I evaded them successfully :grin:

What were you riding at the time bud?

hey, welcome to the forum  :cool: guessing you like you're Gixxers  :smiley: love that streetfighter you've got! looks ace. I'm just on a honda cbr 125r just now, it's a riot though! can't wait to get a bigger bike soon.
Wouldn't be fun if it was easy, but does it have to be this much fun?
