OMG What have I done?!?!?!?

....When going over about 130 mph (GPS not inaccurate speedo), the GTI feels a lot lighter and you have to realise that aerodynamically the Golf hatchback is at its 'comfort limit'. But she'll drive for hours literally at 125 mph - I've done it many times on the German unrestricted sections of autobahn and averaged 90 mph all day!

I would remap your brain and do some performance car driving courses before high speed testing on public roads.

Conrats on the purchase.  Looks like you found a good one

My suggestion for your first mod, lose the stealers sticker in the rear window. 

Im dying to get this sticker off, any tips on the best and cleanest way to get it off???

If it's just the standard VW Stealer one then it should peel off fine without any sticky mess remaining.

Otherwise a bit of the sticky stuff remover DIY shops sell should do the trick.

tbh I have hit the big 1 five 0 before and she fet as steady as a rock! It was 1 four 0 before my passenger decided to look over and see what all the noise was about! Funny when he did tho

Yeah thought the set button was a bit silly.


 How come, when the road was so clear, did they stay so close? There was an Audi a5, an Audi TT and a Seat (dunno model), a BMW 7-series and a Honda Civic (std, not type R). Did they wanna race? Or were they just perving at the car? And if it's a race, how do I say "no"? wasn't about to blast the car when I'd been driving it for a max of three hours.

ive noticed this aswell, quite often have cars pull up behind my driver rear quarter and stay there or creep slowely before going on. Im sure its having a good eyeful of the car. She certainly looks good in motion.

I'd have to agree there Red, mine felt "light" on the road at GPS 130mph last euro trip. Totally different to the S4 which "squatted down" at anything over 120+.

By the way, 155mph is all the S4 is meant to do as its restricted....YEAH RIGHT! I'll have to see if I can find my GPs photo to the contrary....

My GTI is at least 10mph out at speeds over 120mph. You dont want to get caught at that speed on a UK road, looking at a lot of time off there bud.

....Mine is out 13% throughout. VW have said they would change it but cannot guarantee better than 10% inaccuracy, so I haven't bothered. I prefer the large digital speed readout of my GPS PogoAlert anyway and it switches to kmph too. It's also in my line of sight while driving.
