Hi all
My name is Tom, but everyone calls me TJ. Have mucked around with cars for a long time, but this is my first step into a VW.
As a background, my last few cars
- GT Forester, sti converted, heavily modified
- GT Forester, sti converted, heavily modified
- Corolla Sportivo, every bit of suspension chaged, intake, exhaust
- GF8 WRX, bare metal rebuild (Ford focus white paint, Sti RA interior and bits)
- RS Liberty, heavily modified
- JZX100 with basic mods
You can see the pattern. However, work life etc has changed, these days I sit in peak hour traffic a lot and have less time for cruises/skid pan etc. I lovvvved my last Forester, but it was the wrong car.
On wed night, I sold it
I bought this yesterday
MY10 Highline FSI
DSG replaced under VW extended warranty, big deciding factor in buying the car. First impressions - actually quite nippy but obviously a bit slower than my Forester was. Refined - very very nice to drive. Low rpm DSG decision making is crap.
I have joined so I can get some ideas on what is the right and wrong to do to these.
Intentions atm
- Tint
- Tune
- Wheels and lower to suit
About it. Might do a dump also. I want it to be a comfy and sensible daily so wont be going nuts on it.
Look forward to having a read around the place.
