Toms306s Project - Fodge!

[Dan!]

We have the same headunit how do you change the colour on it? Mines blue but I'd prefer red

[Matt]

Dan jvc did two, one blue one red. Blue one has Bluetooth etc. that's the one I have

[Toms306]

I just got mine cos it was cheap on ebay.

[Toms306]

Also, I'll ne going to a dubgen meet on Thursday evening in martlesham...anyone's welcome, but I doubt anyone from will want to go lol.

[declantg]

i think i would be chased out
1) i own a 306
2) its higher than a tractor
3) Its a diesel

[Toms306]

Pfft....there'll be several diesels there....and mk4s are stupidly high too....

Probably a bit far for you though lol!

[declantg]

Martlesham, i dont think its that fair tbh, can picture it in my head

[WiNgNuTz]

I love the way people read stuff on here and assume it's true............ Ask anyone thats convoyed with me.....I don't drive slowly.

And the difference is I can easily do over 100mph at 3k rpm.

I can vouch for this.....but you also struggle with knowing which lane to be in! I was glad the '6 driver behind me was paying attention, or he'd have ended up in my boot!

I must admit, i struggled to keep up with your golf, but my dtub is not real yet, as it doesnt coal properly! Gotta get on the tuning ASAP.

Keep up the good work though Tom, im sure you'll fathom the boost hoses soon enough, and forget the haters....for a golf, this looks quite good! :clap:

Haha, I can't apologise enough for that wrong lane panic.... :oops: was lucky there! But it wasn't as bad as the people infront jumping the hatchings across roundabout lanes tho!

You struggled to keep up with the golf as standard with a boost leak.....you'd like it more now then Haha! . Tbd though, you did have a full car and I only had myself lol. I've done the boost hoses now.....and the remap!

My 306 is quicker than my mates MK4 and that was a 1.8T with a 220BHP map on it

Yours probably is......'nutz is standard though lol.

Also, bet I still get better mpg than you do

Edit - Also Im surprised you'd be mates with anyone that owned a mk4!

[mark_airey]

Bet mine still works out cheaper than yours on veg though, better MPG or not I also have a HDi box which lowers the final drive by about 500rpm in every gear so that helps with the MPG as well as giving a chronic gap between 2nd and 3rd

My brother is a VW fanboy so I know quite a few people through him

You're probably right, I'm doing 10 pence per mile atm. I could never run veg though, even if i had a car that would!

Hdi box doesnt have enough gears, 6 speed is where its at. Although I still keep going for 7th cruising on the motorway lol.

Was this when we got near woodbridge on the last meet... and one lane went left and carried up the motorway and a whole load of you were in the right lane for town and went over the hatchings anyway? Knew it was going to happen as soon as I saw you in my rear view

Martlesham, i dont think its that fair tbh, can picture it in my head

Dec its where we went to Tesco twice!

[Toms306]

Yeah that's right lol, my mate in the Nile xs went over the hatchings infront of me so I tried to get in the left lane before the roundabout......and nearly ended up with 'nutz up my arse. hock:

[hbomb1905]

£100 dturbo +22k in a year + no replacement parts = win
expensive VAGaygay thing + 11k + Intercooler = fail

And how'd you get a car for half its scrap value? :?

Right time and place!

Nice golf tom!

I think that might be going in my sig

Golf 1.8Ts are good but they are thirsty little beasts if you drive them in anger all the time (which I would). Best place that engine found a home was in the Audi TT 225 and the Seat Leon Cupra R. MK4 Golfs didn't handle all that great.

Leads me on to my next question homeslice; will you be 'slamming' the Golf in a vein attempt to try and get the short attention of a female? Will you use the word 'stance' in conversations at the pub in the near future?

Or are you keeping it sensible?

There is no danger of him doing anything different, he's miserable like you in fact you would make the perfect couple, maybe you should get his number.............................

[Dan!]

Not gonna happen Mark, Chris' car is grey, Tom hates grey.

[mark_airey]

Awh but they would be so suited to each other, they would be a lovely couple! Maybe Tom would be willing to make an exception for Chris when he realizes

[C.A.R.]

Nah Tom likes 5 doors. I have a kiddie on the way and still bought a 3door car, despite the protest from literally everyone around me.

5 doors have smaller doors to make the excessive number of doors fit on the car as a result getting in them with a child seat/child into the back of the car is a nightmare, with a 3 door you can move the seat forward and just step into the rear foot well (which is especially handy when its raining so you don't get wet strapping them in)

[Toms306]

Right time and place!

Fair enough lol....thats somewhere I never seem to be!

Nice golf tom!

If thats not sarcasm then cheers dude.

I think that might be going in my sig

Lol.....glad it wasnt wasted then!

Why own a 1.8t when I can easily get 180+bhp and 60mpg from a pd130??

I don't think I've used the word 'stance' until now.....and I won't be slamming anything except doors.

HOWEVER, to try and make the handling better while retaining practicality and comfort I will be lowering it a bit, only 40mm or so though......but cant afford it for a while.

Nah Chris is a grumpy bugger.....nothing like me at all. :? Plus he owns a ford with a terrible interior and not enough doors.

And I wouldnt be so sure about nothing different mark

Not gonna happen Mark, Chris' car is grey, Tom hates grey.

WRONG!! I'd love an astor '6! Or a grey Leon Cupra....

[Toms306]

Mmm, forgot how nice it is to polish and wax a car after a crap day, nice and shiny now!

Note the oc sticker.

Should be going to the dubgen meet tomoro so hopefully it stays clean!

Plans now are -
Fit boost guage
Fit catch tank
Full service (oil, filter, fuel filter, pollen filter)
Decide what I'm doing about air filter...tempted by a cone just for the noise lol, with CAF.
Brakes - either bleed or replace fluid as they're not as sharp as on the silver golf despite the pads and discs only being 1k miles old.
New centre caps
Swap tyres from bora alloys on to montys
Decat?
Paint calipers

Eventually......
Spoiler
Lowerage
Different wheels

Must be a Golf thing mate, driving hard on a B-road I can't get mine below 29-30...

Does 24-25 in traffic though because the thermostat is stuck open

So it does half the mpg of mine....I'd say that's thirsty!
