[GTI2007]

and what about batteries and stuff?

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i found one extensive website about electric vehicles and i dropped my idea

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

way toooooooooooooooooooooo complicated

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

and even more dangerous if not done properly

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

do you think that a new 1,4TSI will fit into mk2?

[GTI2007]

I already saw pics from Germany of a 2.0T engine from the MK5 GTI in a MK2

[GTI2007]

so a 1.4 TSI is a piece of cake then

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

160hp with such a small car must be deadly combination

[GTI2007]

Seems like we just brought this thread over 12k posts

[GTI2007]

That's definitely going to be a mean little Golf

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

nice idea, but do u know what is my dream? old VW T1 Transporter, fitted with new 2.0TDI and custom interior :wub:

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

something like this http://www.lkw-infos.eu/images/oldtimer/woernitz-2005/teil-4/VW-T1-Eischer-020905-01.jpg

[GTI2007]

Sounds like a nice idea. Hope you can have it somewhere in the future

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

well, i cant find it anywhere on the internet for sale, and when it comes to engine, i would most likely use mine from my current car, with some modifications of course. this car is very rare

[GTI2007]

Especially when looking for one with the body in a perfect condition

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

put a sofa in back, carpet on the floor, with 24inch LCD and ps3, sub and party van is ready

[GTI2007]

That sounds awesome

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

yep, its def on my "to-do" list

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

and the biggest plus - i can sleep inside if i will have to

[GTI2007]

Good luck with making it real

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

thank you. im going to sleep now, see u later

[GTI2007]

Sweet dreams Boris and see u again later

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

im back. wassup

[GTI2007]

Good morning Boris. Everything ok there?

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

yes my friend, everything is fine

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

went shopping with my bro

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i love shopping with him

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

its just a matter of time when i will learn him how to catch a woman for me :lol:

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

he will be my best wingman ever

[GTI2007]

That sounds like a really fun thing to do

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

how is your sunday goin?

[GTI2007]

Too damn quiet as usual

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

yep. and its cold out there

[GTI2007]

But according to the news it's getting a bit warmer here the coming week

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

right, should be around 20 degrees celsius next week

[GTI2007]

That would be so much better then the current 9 degrees Celcius

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

yep, i hope my AC will work in my car in summer

[GTI2007]

At least you already have a car of your own

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

dont worry, just wait. it will be well worth it

[GTI2007]

I hope the RGTI/R20 is really worth the wait I have to do for it

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

it will be. if i was like u, i could have waited for mkvi, buy 1.4 tsi and still have a lot of money for mods AND i wouldnt crash it (i would, but it would be some old car that i wouldnt care so much)

[GTI2007]

You could be right but the RGTI/R20 is compared to what I drive now a huge improvement in HP

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

but i suppose u have much more experience, and u are more intelligent then i was

[GTI2007]

I have almost 8 years of driving a car without even getting into an accident or even getting a ticket

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

then u have nothing to worry about

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

yHFDa9efCQU

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

:lol:

[GTI2007]

You are one funny man Boris :lol:

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

thanks :biggrin:

[GTI2007]

Right now I would be very happy to have an MK5 TDI instead of my f***ing slow MK4 SDI

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

in first year of having my driving license i had my first ticket (no license plate - happened on my way home from dealer ship - WTF? lol)
then i run into other car which was in front of me waitin in traffic (broken grill, not a big deal)
then backed into other car on car park pretty hard, but nothing destroyed
and finally i destroyed my whole car

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

Right now I would be very happy to have an MK5 TDI instead of my f***ing slow MK4 SDI

at least u have 4 wheels to get u where u need..
.. so later u can release that FAST inside of u in RGTI

[GTI2007]

That's true and then I have to see how far I'm willing to take it on amount of modding

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i dont think there will be much to mod on such car :smile:

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

wheels, coilovers or springs, maybe tint

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

and then u can try to make front look like mkv r32, but i would do that as last :smile:

[GTI2007]

While also going badgeless all around

[GTI2007]

coilovers or springs

I'm thinking of doing airride

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i was thinking the same, but it takes toooooooooooo much of your cargo space

[GTI2007]

I don't care about my trunk cause there will be going a pair of subwoofers into it most likely so the little extra stuff of the airride will not make such a big deal

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

dude, u will make your car weight too much and u will lose all your great power u payed for

[GTI2007]

The car will be stage 2 at least which means around 340-350 HP

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

why do u need so much power?

[GTI2007]

To have a really fun car that's able to beat cars that cost 2 to 3 times as much

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

but u will make your car cost 2 or 3 times more anyway :biggrin:

[GTI2007]

Like all my mods are going to cost me around 35 to 70k €??

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

well, i have no idea

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

im just keeping our converssation alive :lol:

[GTI2007]

Even with the sound system and airride in the trunk it's going to be lighter then the current R32 which weighs around 1541 kg

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

ok, i suppose u know what u are talking about

[GTI2007]

Probably also going to reduce the weight in the front a bit by replacing the battery to the trunk

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

u already planned everything as i see :smile:

[GTI2007]

The look of the car is like 99 % complete in my head

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

so now just imagine very hot girl sitting next to you in that car and u are complete

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

http://www.smartcarpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/hot-girl-car-problem-5.jpg

[GTI2007]

That would be awesome

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

totally :wink:

[GTI2007]

And then take pics of her with the car to brag in here :biggrin:

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

thats right :smile:

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i didnt even have time to catch a girl on my car..

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

will have to do that ASAP

[GTI2007]

Not a bad idea my friend

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

actually nobody has seen me with my car in here. except for one old friend
when i bought my car i took it straight to england, and i came back in september ...

[GTI2007]

I personally would never have bought an 5 door Golf. The 3 door version looks so much more sporty IMO

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

its a matter of taste, personally i dont like the look of 3door

[GTI2007]

There's also a 36 kg weight difference between similar equipped 3 and 5 door Golfs

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i remember when i was traveling back home from england, i was so packed that i was almost rubbing :lol: full trunk, 3 ppl and a child. My car felt like it had only 50hp

[GTI2007]

Sounds totally understandable

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i cant find any good alloys on ebay

[GTI2007]

Don't think that eBay is a good place to find decent wheels

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i def cant afford new ones either

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i found some audi 17s for 250

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i will see what will be available few months later

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

im going out now, see u later, maybe this evening

[GTI2007]

What size wheels you have now? Or were they also destroyed in the accident

[GTI2007]

See you later Boris

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

What size wheels you have now? Or where they also destroyed in the accident

right now i have 3 alloys, size 15. 4th was totally destroyed (another mystery). i cant find a shop that will sell just one of them so i have to buy new set (preferably 17")

[GTI2007]

That's a pretty good size to start with for a daily driven TDI

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

actually, 17" are the biggest wheels that law allows on my car

[GTI2007]

I know for sure that I already saw 105 HP TDI's with 19" wheels here in Belgium

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

thats possible, but i dont live in Belgium :wink:

[GTI2007]

Some countries are indeed a lot worse on the rules

[GTI2007]

Is this the law of the UK or Slovakia?

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

just Slovakia. in UK u can even buy a new golf with 18 already fitted

[GTI2007]

Then you have another reason to definitely move to the UK

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

new golf is much more cheaper over there, but i dont know if i get used to other side of the car

[GTI2007]

That's the biggest downside to the UK I guess

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

Hi Johan.i went to my car today, he already started taking apart my front, shouldnt take too long till he finishes it.
But here is a little story:
I came there, and i saw a huge pile of my interior and exterior parts. And in front of that i saw Jetta front, with chrome middle part. I was like DAAAAAAAAAMN, i love that guy, i totaly love him.
And then he came to me and said: No Boris, thats for someone else...
F*CK, i wanted to punch him in his fat face so hard :biggrin: that really destroyed my mood...
And then i asked him about those side strips, and he said: Dont worry, we will sort it out. It sounded almost like: Just GET THE F*CK OUT..

/story

[GTI2007]

what a tool. He can arrange that for another guy but not for you and that's supposed to be a friend of your dad?

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

their relation is lil bit complicated. when i told him i want jetta front he said that he already bought me original for my car

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

im going to buy jetta front anyway, just need to get my hands on some money. silver mkv with jetta front is too sexi

41547

[GTI2007]

That looks indeed much better then the stock Golf bumper

[GTI2007]

Are you also planning to do xenon headlights or just keep the stock halogen ones?

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

halogens are good enough for me

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

jetta front is not that expensive, i can find main bumper for 70 euros on ebay, plus another 70 to 100 e for centre part and around 50 for grills i guess

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i need to make a list, cos i want too much

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i think i will just save some money for APR remap for now..

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

so, how was your day Johan?

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

sorry Johan for talking just about myself, i promise it will change as soon as i get my car back on my carpark. im not always like this. its just now, i cant think about anything else

[GTI2007]

It was pretty nice

[GTI2007]

I'm really starting to consider to buy myself a second handed 105 HP 1.9 TDI cause I really hate the current situation where I need to share a car with my dad and with my current job I can also afford it I guess and if I would trade it in for the R20/RGTI next year or else 2011 it would save me like 10k €

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i thought u are not here :smile:

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

or maybe u should look around for a mkvi gti instead of waiting for rgti. there is still pretty big chance it wont be awd

[GTI2007]

I just checked in and saw that you posted me a question so I answered it

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

a new mkvi gti costs in UK around 24000 pounds. thats insane. I payed 28000 for my regular golf

[GTI2007]

I want a car right now and my budget is not that big. I guess around 15k € and the base MK6 GTI costs 26.6k € already

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

yep, our prices are little bit bigger then in uk. its your choice :smile:

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i dont know if u are here but im gonna try to get as close to 3k as i can

[GTI2007]

I'm here

[GTI2007]

I also need to pay 2.5k € taxes when buying a GTI while for that 105 HP TDI it's only 123 €

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i just found very interesting image. The same feature can be bought for new GTI

http://www.tuningnews.net/news/080415/volkswagen-passat-cc-first-drive-05.jpg

Ala James Bond

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

I also need to pay 2.5k € taxes when buying a GTI while for that 105 HP TDI it's only 123 €

what?? thats terrible. i dont think its that expensive over here

[GTI2007]

And the downside is that for the R20/RGTI it's almost 5k € cause it has more then 155 kw

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

Well, if u wanna go that way.. :smile:

[GTI2007]

For now it's my dreamcar but for the moment I have nothing. I share a MK4 1.9 SDI with my dad and I really want a car of my own

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

well, u can still consider 2.0 TDI and remap it to 170 hp with really massive amount of torque

[GTI2007]

Most second hand Golfs here are only 1.9 TDI's

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

Germany is not that far from u, right? :smile:

[GTI2007]

It's pretty close indeed but my german is not that good

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

No friends speaking german? im just trying to help :biggrin:

[GTI2007]

Not really

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

not really what? no friends or im not helping? :biggrin:

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

just use your imagination

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

Ich mochte eine automobil verkaufen :lol:

[GTI2007]

I meant that I don't have that much friends and definitely not who speak german

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

or there is still this option of just pointing with your finger on a car and showing your wallet :biggrin:

[GTI2007]

There's also still the problem of how do I get that car back home

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i have no idea my friend

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

what color u want your next car?

[GTI2007]

I would consider between Reflex silver and United Gray I think

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

good answer :smile: those are the only colors i like on golf

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

might be fun when u buy reflex silver 1.9 TDI :smile:

[GTI2007]

I found an UG 1.9 TDI here in Belgium

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

how much?

[GTI2007]

How much what?

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

how much does it cost over there?

[GTI2007]

The one I saw costed 14,500 €

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

thats a lot for used golf. add some more and u can buy mkvi

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

sorry Johan but i barely see. Thanks for PWing with me

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

and good night

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

maybe tomorrow i will get to 3k :smile:

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

so adios amigo

[GTI2007]

good bye Boris. Have a good night and see you again later

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

damn, long day

[GTI2007]

Same here. Those 8.5 hours I had to work took forever

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

hi Johan

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i almost went to sleep

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

so u are saying u had very long and exhausting day

[GTI2007]

Indeed. The sun was shining beautifully outside and I had to sit inside to work. No wonder the day took forever

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

another day closer to my sweet bunny..

[GTI2007]

I'm glad it's weekend again

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

hi Johan

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

already home from work?

[GTI2007]

I'm done working at 4:30 pm, then drive home by car where I get around 5:00 pm. Right now it's already 6:08 pm and I have to go eat in a little while

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

what are u doing after that?

[GTI2007]

In half an hour I'm going to walk our dogs

[rollenbu]

What's up Johan?

[GTI2007]

After that it's going to be watching some tv or doing some PWing in here

[GTI2007]

Pretty good Becca. I'm glad it's weekend and how about you?

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i dont want to interrupt your discussion :biggrin: ill be here for a bit, will do some pwing

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i still dont know if im going out this evening with a friend or not

[rollenbu]

I'm good. Getting my car back outta the shop on Monday.

[GTI2007]

I'm really thinking of getting myself a second hand 140 HP 2.0 TDI to have something a bit more powerful then a 68 HP SDI to get me throw the 10 month wait at least for the R-GTI

[GTI2007]

and maybe I can keep this car as the family car for the future gf while I cruise around with the BT R-GTI

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

that would be super sweet. economic mkv and ultramegafast mkvi rgti

[GTI2007]

That was what I was thinking also. Probably going to mod the TDI to make it look like a GTI or in other words a sort of GTD

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

well, i dont really like the look of honeycomb grill :smile:

[GTI2007]

Probably going to do the grill this way:

http://web17.server27.publicompserver.de/image014.jpg

but then also without the GTI badge

[GTI2007]

well, i dont really like the look of honeycomb grill :smile:

Then why would you buy a MK6 GTI cause that also has a honeycomb grill?

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

so u are sayin honeycomb is the only important thing on GTI? i would buy it because of engine and sportier look. i believe there are companys that are already working on new bumpers for it

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

and while im looking on pictures of mkvi and mkvi gti, i think i would put ordinary mkvi bumper on front

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i would love to pw for a bit but im going out in a minute, with a GIRL. dont worry, she is just my friend :biggrin: nothing is gonna happen

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

but tomorrow i will seriously spam this forum to get to 3k

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

:biggrin:

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

anybody knows why is it so important to me? i have no idea

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

last two to make it 2,800

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

and this one, and im done. see u tomorrow..

[GTI2007]

Nothing beats the stock bumper of the MK5 GTI IMHO

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

nothing beats R32 or Jetta bumper IMO :wink:

[GTI2007]

Not be picky but the Jetta bumper is the same as the GTI bumper except for the honeycomb grills on the GTI

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

Not be picky but the Jetta bumper is the same as the GTI bumper except for the honeycomb grills on the GTI

thats what i ment. i said i dont like honeycomb, plus jetta middle is chrome instead of ordinary black :wink:

[GTI2007]

I'm also a big fan of the chrome middle piece of the Jetta but I would put in on in combination with the honeycomb grills if I would do it

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

everybody has different taste :smile:

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

thats why they are so many unique cars out there

[GTI2007]

That's the real fun part of modding the same car with a lot of people so you can see how everybody else does mod their car and you can see their taste on wheels and so on

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i still dont know if i should keep money and buy myself mkvi with better engine or just make some mods to my car

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i guess i will see after driving around in my mkv in a week or so

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

but then again, if something will be wrong, i will have very hard time finding a buyer

[GTI2007]

You could be right but if you are honest about it you will find a buyer for it

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

if my car will behave as before, then i suppose i will use it for another 3 or 4 years and then i will buy mkvi just before mkvii kicks in :biggrin:

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

are u going to mod mkv if u buy it?

[GTI2007]

I think so but probably going for a OEM+ look with 19" VW/Audi wheels and maybe the GTI front lip, sideskirts and rear valence combined with the GTI exhaust

[GTI2007]

Also considering to change the stock halogen headlights for the better xenon ones and maybe change out the stock taillights for LED taillights

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

afaik Johan u wont be able to fit gti front lip to basic mkv bumper

[GTI2007]

That's why I also going to get the GTI/Jetta front bumper

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i cant decide between jetta front bumper or just adding front lip, which is basically the same price

[GTI2007]

I would go for the Jetta front bumper. It looks so much better then the stock Golf bumper IMO

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i will see this summer. if i find whole front on ebay, then i will possibly do it

[GTI2007]

I'm probably just going for the easiest way which is the local dealer. Too bad it's also one of the most expensive ways

[GTI2007]

We really could use a 3rd or maybe even a 4th guy to do the PWing with in here

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i was outside with my bro for a minute, sorry

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

so u are gonna buy a new mkv, then?

[GTI2007]

No, a second hand one from November 2007

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

thats a great year

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

u gonna have bro of my tdi

[GTI2007]

Maybe if I can get details on the differences between the 140 and the 170 HP 2.0 TDI engines that I could maybe going to rebuild my 140 HP TDI to a 170 HP one and chip that to around 200 to 205 HP then.

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i guess its primary the factory chip, that makes the difference. plus maybe different valves or that kind of thing

[GTI2007]

I thought I read different injectors and maybe a slightly bigger turbo and of course a better software tune

[GTI2007]

Would love to have a copy of ETKA to make sure of every engine part of both engines

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

its definitely do-able if u have money :smile:

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

with 200hp TDI u dont even need GTI

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

i guess it will be faster like gti

[GTI2007]

From a standstill not but I guess from a rolling start that the GTI is going to have a very hard time to get rid of you

[GTI2007]

Cause the 170 HP TDI gets around 430 Nm of Torque after the flash

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

then u will be albe to put GTD badge on it :biggrin:

[GTI2007]

That would be the badge I would want to put on it if I at least put a badge on to it

[GTI2007]

I will probably address it as a GTD then altough the car itself would be totally badgeless

[GTI2007]

I'm now officially first on the list of amount of posts in this very thread

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

congrats Johan

[GTI2007]

Thank you very much Boris

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

we are nearly only ones who post on this forum in regular basis

[GTI2007]

That's very true. I try to come online in here almost every day no matter if I have to work or not

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

me too. but it really changed in here since i registered

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

just few threads per day, noone able to help

[GTI2007]

The engine part is mostly for the 2.0T cause America doesn't get any of the TDI engines

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

do u know about any big volkswagen event in europe? do we have something like that?

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

The engine part is mostly for the 2.0T cause America doesn't get any of the TDI engines

thats why i dont even look at that section. my sections are: general discussion, DIY maintenance and OFF Topic :smile:

[GTI2007]

I know about Southern Wörthersee (http://www.southernworthersee.com/) in Austria on May 15, 16 and 17 of this year

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

austria u say? i guess there will be just germans

[Adv4nc3r_Mk5]

we should go to waterfest or how it is called in usa :smile:
