The Official AVForums Modified Car thread...Let's have a few more!

As there has been a bit of interest in a couple of other threads from members who've pimped their rides so to speak,here's the official addition to the car showrooms for those of who've done just that.

Copied from the BHP thread.

^ Very nice indeed!  Don't see many 5 GTT's around any more. Had a red 88 myself for a couple of years, great little hot hatch.

Good to get the thread going.  

The list on mine so far is:

kWv3 suspension
Haldex race diff controller
VWRacing brake kit
ATP GT3071 turbo kit
High pressure fuel pump
ITG intake
Milltek exhaust
Software...Revo Stage 3

All installed by AMD Essex.

And before anyone asks why I didnt get a TT-RS or wait for the RS3.....RS3 has turned out to be late,lardy,and a 5 door,whereas the excellent TT-RS isn't a hatchback.
Besides which,this car is good fun right now.

I don't have a modified car , mine is bog standard but i love reading and seeing what people have done to theirs.
Look forward to more pics.

Looks good - and er ... expensive!

The only modifying mine is going to get hopefully before the end of the year, is some weight removal. Mainly in the many, many layers of dirt and salt that seem to be weighing it down!

alexs2

Wasn't cheap unfortunately!

People often ask why others do this to cars when they could perhaps go and buy a faster one from stock...I looked at what I could get that still had sufficient space,and had the performance etc,and was left with very few choices.

The RS3 hadn't surfaced,and now that it has,it's got 5 dorrs,and weighs a fair bit more than I'd thought,the TT-RS doesn't have the interior space,and so on...

This now runs better than it did from the showroom,is quieter and smoother,and has excellent performance...and still costs less than a fully loaded RS3....plus it's fun.

Do you have any pics of what all this shiney stuff goes in Alex?

I might have missed your post where you revealed the car itself.

I always imagined it to be blue and the older model!

Probably because there is a barryed up one in the area like it.

Yours looks good though, no exterior mods that seem apparent to me which is always good.
