How r yas?

I am looking to buy a new model diesel Golf, so if you can help me out that would be great. I used to have an mk4 130bhp and I was more than happy with it, it was a great car

I have been looking for a GT tdi but they seem to be rare second hand, well that and people wanting to much money for them. If I cant find one soon then I will probably buy a 1.9 tdi. Are they any good for chipping? What gains am I likley to get from that engine or should I just hold out for the gt?

I also have planned the reiger bodykit and 19" wheels. Reiger good choice or?

Cheers guys

Alright matey, welcome to the forum,ive a 2.0 tdi chipped as do a couple of other forum members i got mine re maped by superchips and got about 25-30bhp more[],also gettin slightly more mpg..You really do notice the difference from 3-6 gears well worth the ?443 quid..Hope ye get sorted with ye search for a new motor..[Y]

Thanks for the reply fella

I am really looking forward to the new motor, I have a Peugeot 206 gti at the minute but it eats petrol. I love the look of the new Golf and the look of the kit from reiger . Either 3-5 door will do me so that narrows my search a bit. I was always a 3dr man but the car on reigers website shows a 5dr and I love it. I have planned Audi rs6 wheels, think they will suit it well.

Still hunting the car though. So you think a 25-30bhp gain could be possible from the 1.9 tdi? its 105 bhp isnt it?

 

[sadsack]

Yep 25-30bhp,lookin at a nice set of wheels myself next,dont really want to lower the car though so am after some picys of a mkv not lowered with rs4 alloys,avin no joy at the moment though..

You need webspace to post pictures, if you haven't got any you can either register at www.photobucket.com or email them to me

 

[sadsack]

Lee tdi can you email it to steve tdci,nice one steve no good at this computer stuff took me all week gettin a picture of me car on my signature..

 

[Themanhimself]

Whats the lowest springs you can get for it at the minute? 40-45?

I probably would not go any lower than that, learnt my lesson with the 206 its lowered 70 mm at the back and 50-60 at the front. I cant even take people in the back, not very practical but looks well.

Like so :

While im posting up pic's

Hopefully my Golf will look like this beauty :

[sadsack]

cant you send pm or email to steve tdci mate if not just leave thanks anyway..I use these to put picys up..Image shack..

 

[Themanhimself]

Setup an account with photobucket.com (Its free). Then to post up pictures all you have to do is copy and paste the img below the image into any post in the forum to display that image.

Handy once you get used to it.
