HELP!! need lots of advice!!
« on: 24 March 2007, 09:59 »
greeting people,

right where do we start. Yesterday i picked up a 2004 black 3dr gt tdi with 34k on the clock for £8725, so as you can imagine im pretty damn chuffed with myself.  :grin:

obviously next thoughts are what im gona do it, but i just cant decide. I have a bout £2000ish 2 spend but am not sure on what, so i need some advice

Wheels and suspension: 18s or 19s on eibach springs or koni adjustables? need to know consequences of ride quaility etc i.e dnt want a harsh ride but would like the look of 19s. If i go 18s will eibach springs be sufficient or would ride be better with full koni? help!!

Remap: Revotechnik? whats the verdict people....

exhaust: milltek? overpriced? what does it sound like on a diesel

finally, bbs ch ar ethey really worth the £Â£.

also can i please please have as many pics as pos of mk5s with different wheels as im goin mad trying 2 decide.

cheers

p.s any one have any experience of bigboys toys in thurrock?

Welcome mate.

Big Boys Toys are one of the bigger VW aftermarket suppliers and generally have a good rep.
