Time for a new thread i think! 
Been promising a few people on here to post up my ride, so here it is.![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
I've had a few high powered VAG cars in the past, but they had always been FWD. I had become a bit weary of all the traction issues and power handling limitations that FWD can give and so decided to chop in my modded Polo GTI for something that would give a lot more poke.
The car Steel Grey
5 door
DSG
had 5.5k miles on the clock when bought.
1 previous owner from new who chopped it in as his wife was expecting/just had twins.
The car has Satnav, phone prep, Dynaudio speaker upgrade, front and rear parking sensors (for the missis! ) leather and even a rare option of a sunroof. I know this car is never going to be the lightest car, so an extra kg or two for a sunroof ain't going to matter too much. 19" talladega alloys (Currently wearing some 18's).
Below is the current specification of the car as it stands.
Current Specification.
Engine/power modifications
GIAC stage 3 Extreme map - switchable through the GIAC switchloader which includes
1. Pump map - usable everyday with WMI running or not
2. Race map - usable everyday, but MUST have WMI running and octane booster - alternatively 100octane or higher fuel with or without WMI running.
3. Valet mode - restricts power during visits to dealers
4. Kill switch - immobiliser.
GIAC Stage 3 DSG software - this is a custom software and can be programmed as you like it and based on stage 2. Link below.
