WA 09 GTI Pirelli

[daveaus]

Hi All,

Just traded in my wrx for a Pirelli. So far so good, the interior is amazing compared to the incredibly bland wrx.

Hope I don't wrap myself around a powerpole the first time I drive in the rain! Having driven a wrx for a few years you tend to forget about road conditions. Although so far the golf seems to stick to the road pretty good.

Welcome Dave,

I've had my Pirelli for about 4 months now and loving it...

Welcome mate. I do love pirellis... Post some pictures of her. Are you going to mod her or keep stock?

Welcome Dave, which colour did you get?

[daveaus]

Hey all,

Will put some pics up later, apart from the stereo I think I'll keep it stock.

Colour is silver.

Get an LSD (Look at what Wavetrac have to offer), that'll help with power-down under non-ideal conditions.

Thanks, Im going to look into it. Roughly how much would you say the installation would be?

Also what kind of fuel economy should I be getting? I was expecting it to use a lot less than a wrx, I did some 110k/hr highway cruise control on and the trip computer reported 9L/100km. Im still on the tank of juice the dealer gave me so I'm hoping its just from them filling it with normal unleaded.
