Hi Everyone!

thanks for that mischa. i'll check out the meets page in a sec. i'm quite happy with my car and don't plan on any mods at this stage. although i've seen on the internet on some bodykits, they're pretty hot. thinking of getting 18s r32 replica rims. other than that, that's pretty much it.

did you mod yours?

i've got a GT diesel but yes... many mods planned and a few already done :)

most common and best bang for buck mod on your gti is to have it "chipped" (ie its computer remapped). for about 1500$ power goes from 147kw to about 190kw.

Hey voxy_girl, welcome aboard.

Nice dub to begin with:) and don't you worry, you'll catch the mod bug soon :nana:

Looking forward to pics of the car!
Whereabouts you located? Update it in your profile :)

Thanks Mrk_Mickey. This car is what I've wanted for a while and I've finally got it. Couldn't afford to get a R32 Mk6 but the Golf GTI is still a really good car.

The mod bug ay? Only if I ever get the money for it.

Did you chip your car? I think I'll be scared if my car ended up being 190kw. I'm used to 147kw power from when I used to own a Nissan 200sx S15. But we'll see maybe one day I'd love to have more power!!! hehe.

[Mrk_Mickey]

My car ain't chipped! haha (I drive a Mk3 golf VR6). Don't you worry, you won't be scared of its power after a short drive with it:)

147kW S15...hmm...my mate's brother's S15 is 210kW atw haha! It's a beast.
...But dubs are better :biggrin:
