    What colours can you actually get in the GTI?

    Can anyone else comment on ECU mapping/tuning on a 1.6L?

    Also, I mainly just want a bit better oomph when in the lower revs, not really a race car.

    Is this your car kenbot?

    I'd say enjoy it for what it is and save for what you want. 1.6L has to be pretty economical to run surely?

    Best Wishes.

    Yep, that's my ride, straight after I got the coilovers put in. It looks a bit different now after adjusting the heights a bit more even. I'll try to get some newer pics up on the forum.

    Yes, I think I've decided to go with what I've got at the moment. I love the colour, and since I got the coilovers, love how much better it drives now, I'll keep the 1.6L and just keep making it neater/cleaner.

    I still really want to know what people honestly think about getting a CAI and an ECU re-map on the 1.6L's?

    I couldn't imagine '10% across the rev range' would put the gearbox in that much jeopardy? Or is it the torque? Apparently the torque increase is quite noticeable. What did it cost to strengthen the 1.6L gearbox?

    OK! What about this.....??

    Thoughts on me grabbing this? What to look out for?

    no sorry, I want the mk4 shape. nice engine though, real shame they didn't bring it out in mk4 here in Aus.

    Feedback on the GTI Please, it won't last at that price, I'm sure. I've already contacted him.
