The Beneficiary
« on: 01 September 2008, 12:45 »
You might have seen a guy on these forums synnea who has owned a R32, stupidly got married and bought a diesel, and has now got himself a GTI... I must thank his wife, as i am the beneficiary in the sale of his R32 (and his wee brother).... I thought it was about time that i came on and joined this forum to express the love for the R32 and many other Golfs out there...

also i would like say just how impressed i was with the GTI. Only got about 5mins drive in it but i really like the smooth delivery of power. I will like to see the remap it lined up along side the R. Interesting match up in my book......

Thanks
Steve, aka Les

lol, he has 280bph to go up against in my R, full miltek exhaust and remap. Same remap done to another R and it was pushing out 274bhp with no miltek. I look forward to heathly competition from him, But i am hopping no smirk lol

One thing I have noticed since getting the GTI on Sat it how light and nimble it is compared to the R. Its only now I am realising how heavy the R32 is with that V6 lump upfront and the Haldex system. You may have your 280BHP, but by the time you take into account your extra weight and Haldex transmission loss I reckon my 240BHP GTI will give you a run for your money. As for the lads on here with remapped Edition 30s - your crome front grille will shine nicely in their rear view mirror....

In the wet however I had may as well be in a canoe...

Welcome wee bro to the forum  :grin:
