The S2 was sold last year to my mates brother and is still sorely missed. I bought a Nissan Micra runaround just after that to get me to and from work (paid £100 for it). Been ages since Ive had a decent car so started to look at getting a newer more comfortable car. I would have loved a Cossie but it would have be more grief than it was worth. Andyway trawling through Autotrader saw a few examples of what I liked and then went and saw one with a mate from work........deposit was put down!

I picked the car up Saturday just gone and drove it to Brighton and it drives like a dream!

Anyway the car is a 51 plate Golf GTi Turbo and I fooken love it! Completey standard (for now ) and mint.

Will post pics up soon

Roll on Inters!

P.S. I will ALWAYS be a Blue Oval Boy

my dad used 2 have golf anniversery(petrol 1) with 230bhp and it was a gr8 car,recaros,bbs wheels etc!!!

AndyNo1

Mine didnt come with Recaros as its a later one but it doesnt bother me seat are virtually the same. Great car

Like your one too

James

Good choice, although can i ask why not a diesel?

turbotrev

Looks like a nice car son from what i've seen so far, now get modding that bloody engine...

Cheers

I know the diesel 150 bhp ones are quicker due to the massive torque figure but I dont like the diesel sound.

Pics should be up later today

AndyNo1

Heres the pics























What do you think?

AndyP

V nice

Does that have the K03s turbo? Get that chipped and you should notice a big difference

I quite fancy one of those

Have to be in black tho or of course a nice S3

AndyNo1

I have the 150bhp one which has the K03 on it. I have heard limited number of the AUM engines had the K03 sport on them, will have to find out about mine

AndyP

Stick with the GTi mate

AndyP

I think if you have the sport version you might have 180bhp?

AndyNo1

Thw 180bhp have the sports but I was told SOME of the 150bhp engines have the K03 sports too. DOnt know how true that is though.

Nice looking Golf there mate!

what's your plans for it?

Yup, roll on Inters

smithy20vt

Yep all the Drive by wire golf 1.8t have a KO3s which is what yours will be.

With a basic custom code map for about 400 quid you should be lucking at about 210bhp. with a few other changes like CAI, exhuast decat and a stage two map you could be heading for 230bhp+

AndyNo1

G60 VV.............you have one PHAT Rallye!

Smithy, I didnt know that thanks

my mum drives one of those

no offence, just not my cuppa tea - too common and look about as sporty as a rowing boat imo!

but my opinion doesnt matter mate, as long as you are happy

AndyNo1

Just to confirm, even though mine is a 150 bhp car its got a KO3 sport on it??

smithy20vt

The following re-map figures for the various 1.8 T 20v's are approximate & depend on exhaust, filter & who's rolling road it's been done on etc., but they should give you a good idea of what's obtainable!

AGU = 150 bhp standard - Throttle cable, KO3 turbo, 5 speed :- Re-maps to 195-210 bhp.

ARZ = 150 bhp standard - Drive-By-Wire, KO3 turbo, 5 speed. :- Re-maps to 195-210 bhp.

AUM = 150 bhp standard - D.B.W., VVT, KO3s turbo, 5 speed :- Re-maps to 220-230 bhp.

AUQ = 180 bhp standard - D.B.W., VVT, KO3s turbo, 6 speed :- Re-maps to 220-230 bhp

Your AUM will run 0.6 bar boost and the AUQ will 0.8 bar thats the only reason for different bhp

G60 VV

cheers lad
It's in the bodyshop atm getting the works done to it

AndyNo1

Smithy thanks for that, youre more helpfull than the guys on uk-mkivs!
