Hi Guys, new member so thought i'd say Hi! Acquired a nice GTI6 a couple of weeks ago after an affair with a 300bhp classic impreza, which nearly bankrupt me! So thought i'd scratch the french hot hatch itch.
Will probably start a readers ride thread as have some plans for her, already stripped the interior and given it a thorough clean to as new condition inside, good detail on the exterior has brought the china blue up lovely! De-wiper, pressed plates and flat wipers have been sorted already as musts imo! Will be lowering it 40mm with bilsteins, just sourced a very good condition 3" magnex, re-furb the wheels in a slightly brighter silver to go away from everyone doing them grey! Loving the experience so far, just need to sort the horrid stepped feeling of the clutch in traffic when its warm, clutch fork bushes? and the intermitent stalling in traffic or coming to a stop, idle control valve? Anyways hope to become involved in the forum so see you on the flip side!
