What did you and your MK2 do today?

[WeeG]

Just been told I'm not selling "my (wife)" beautiful car for a yellow one. Hahaha

I can sell my MR2...for scrap metal. And remortgage the house to buy yours.

Haha! Your's is a cracker mate

Went to see if I could get a slow puncture repaired, I couldn't. Second tyre in a month.

Both tyres that went had around 6-7mm tread still left on them

They're a bugger when they're on the sides! Lucky for me mine was in the middle the other week

Looking to buy an RCD 510 for mine similar to the post a few page back. Has anyone tried the units from China? They look pretty similar to the UK spec version and seriously cheap, found this for £135 shipped - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unused-RC...olf-MK6-Tiguan-CODE-w-o-DAB-RDS-/160885218950

Update - can be had for as little as £115 http://www.aliexpress.com/item/VW-RCD510-Unused/751229302.html#thf

What do we think, cheap upgrade? I've currently got the crap pre-fl mp3 radio.

Seems pretty similar to the european version with the addition of USB

Washing, polishing and waxing the car on a Saturday night!! Cheeky few buds aswell!!

 

[shnazzle]

Did some driving around with Darth Revan and some VAG-COM tweaks to boot!
Needle sweep, stupid corner fogs off, xds to high, beep when locking, large speedo in MFD.

Ha, that's some wagon! Like the look of the Nurburgrings! Pretty mean looking little cars

Not too fussed on the golfs, don't really want to spend big money either, Vxr seems best of both worlds. Cheap to buy, looks good, performance is good apart from under steer, not so reliable though lol

Had a very busy weekend treating the car! Went crazy and bought some real carbon fibre pieces! Hell of a lot of money but worth it I think I also got the forge intercooler fitted.
Badges/Rear diffuser/Mirror caps.




Then she went on a weight loss diet ahead of my upcoming track day! And to top it off I got 4 new Toyo R888 semi slicks for it too



On a sad note though, sold my Golf yesterday Any ideas what to get next as a reliable daily driver? Has to be diesel which is cheap to run

 

[Jarre]

How come you sold the golf ben?

 

[Daveb77]

Up for Grand Prix and looked out window to see the water beading fruits of yesterday's tardis, black hole glaze and sealant session! Sad but satisfyin : )

Hi Ben,
Carbon fiber is just so right, will be amazing on the car
See also that you have the Toyo R888 tires, what dimension will you run?

How much did the Forge set you back?

 

[Masterkm]

Ordered some Autoglym HD wax ready to do a full clean overhaul of the car with claybar and SRP that I already have. Stupid rain dont stop

 

[Benjic2]

How come you sold the golf ben?

No reason really, just fancied a change plus it was due a major service/cambelt plus new disks and pads all round and it could have done with 2 new tyres in a few thousand miles, which would cost over a grand for all of it. So I figured it would be less expensive to just get a new car anyway. I listed it on autotrader just to test the water and I had a phone call within 24 hours and he came and drove it away I would have happily kept it though.

I hope so, need some good weather to fit it all Tyres are 235/35/R19

It was up for £600 but I managed to get it for 540 and my friendly mechanic fitted it for a crate of magners... took him about an hour. Not drove it yet so I don't know how much difference it has made. Will probably see tha gains when I go stage 2+ in a few weeks when I fit the decat Arsehole of a job though, driveshafts have to come out!
