At the next set of lights I looked over to him to acknowledge the performance but he was a proper noob and totally blanked me. Maybe he thought he'd be quicker, and he's the one who should repsect GTi's  :grin:

does sound like a bit of a mug, if someone wants to give you the thumbs up or nob you at least acknowledge them

I actually think he did. As mentioned, it's a dual lane set of lights which merges into one after you cross the junction, he was out to cross over first, no doubt about that. Unfortunately I've been reading threads on here about "Who've you beaten from the lights" and having been to good old B&Q for a stupid "elbow joint" to fix my shower, I had to give chase! Sad I Know  :grin:

My previous car was a GT TDI 140 DSG and was chipped and had a Milltek exhaust. As you may have already guessed I have had it down the 1/4 mile and had 0-60mph in 7.33 secs :evil:

Drove all the way down to Inters and back had 4 goes down the 1/4mile and still had over a quarter of a tank of fuel when I arrived back in Sheffield :shocked:

Don't underestimate Diesels... I reckon my old Fabia vRS would give the GTi a run for its money through the gears (say past 30mph!)... and that was only 130BHP... mind you, it's all about the torque.


Ok so I passed him (the two lanes became one so good job really) but it did make me think how quick it was, and how the old Diesel is so much more economic blah blah cheaper insurance, good residuals....


Mk 5 GTi, Tornado Red, Leather, Xenons, 18" Monza II's, Sunroof, 6CD in Armrest, Winter pack & Tinted Windows... soon to be adding ED30 front spoiler, plus R32 sideskirts... then getting fully colour coded!
New engine fitted when car was at 27k... last one went "noisey".

diesels may be the future and have lots of benifits over petrols but  petrols sound great id miss the sound of diesels and they sound the same with an uprated exhaust too

Don't think so  :rolleyes:

Engine sound on a TDI could never match the engine sound of a TFSI.

Exhaust on an uprated TDI and an Uprated TFSI would sound totally different too. Not to mention the black fog of the diesel.
