KNITERIDER Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 looks nice, what have you done to up power? ITB's or carbs or something? or is it RS2000'd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hezz Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 looks tidy, i'd swap to mk6 mirrors and different wheels any plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defcon2 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 un sure about the full spec yet, i bought her last week, the people i bought her off of are going to fit a new drive shaft and hopefully she'll be coming home the end of next week . . . i will put up a full spec when i get her. to be honest i just saw her and bought her, she's superchipped with an induction kit fitted . . . and has 40thousand odd miles on her, paintwork and underbelly in good good nick . . . so you can see why i didn't hesitate to purchase without finding out the rest i was thinkin black alloys, and im going to make the badges a yellowish orange background, other than that i have no plans, but im sure once she is sitting outside the ideas will start flowing in my head viki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tezmanian devil Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 welcome dude, good to see another mk5 about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Car looks nice. I've always had a soft spot for those wheels, especially on rs turbos. I think at best the chip may give you a couple of horsepower more, but the induction kit may be losing that power, so probably sitting around standard power with that low mileage engine.

pjsprojects Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 That does look a very clean good condition car,not many left now that have not rusted everywhere. I did read the 'black wheels' comment ;-( lol. As above if adjustments to the engine are a plug in superchip and an induction kit then around standard power.

massivewangers Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Looks nice that, don't see many nice MK5s now, especially XR models. Think a change of wheels would suit it, even just to some MK5 RS2000 ones or similar. Don't think the lattice ones really suit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_Si Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Car looks good mate, and if the mileage is right thats a rare find! Defo bang the RS2k wheels on though, they look the part. Here's my XR http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l194/matt16v_2006/IMAG0366.jpg http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l194/matt16v_2006/IMAG0367.jpg http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l194/matt16v_2006/IMAG0368.jpg http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l194/matt16v_2006/IMAG0370.jpg Oop, now got inted lights on mind, which also look pretty good i think! http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l194/matt16v_2006/IMAG0586.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
