    Farewell my Tig brothers

    As of next week I will be the proud owner of a Carbon Steel 5dr GTI and I will bid a regrettable farewell to the Tig

    I'd like to thank all of my fellow Tig brothers here for their help and inspiration during the ownership of the Tig and hope that you keep on lowering, tuning, adding overly large wheels and generally driving Forester owners crazy

    Cheers Lads

    Sorry to see you go... Although, i guess you'll still be still hanging around? You, Sir, are the one who is the inspiration...
    Enjoy the new ride! Are you getting a brand newie!? Look forward to pics (in the other section)
    All the best.

    The V1s will be for sale later in the week boys, good price for Tig brothers of course

    Yeah it's a brand newie GTI, got a killer deal and also a great trade in so I couldn't refuse

    Must say the standard GTI in 155 form accelerates about the same as the chipped Tig according to the bum dyno so chip+intake+exhaust should equal much fun.

    Sad to see another 1 go .... Clip started it, I’ve followed and now you ...... almost all the original Tig crazies gone !

    BTW, bum dyno on a tuned TIG is deceptive ..... I know for a fact that there is nothing in it between a Stg 1+ Tig and a Stg 1 (both APRd) MK6 GTI ..... Tig a bit slower in gear but quicker out if tight corners and pretty much head to head off the line ..... much to the disgust of my GTI owning friend ..... GTI will always handle and brake better though ....

    You'll like the GTI, they are a bit special, but I thought a Roc or V6 Passat was in the future for you ?

    May have that Carbonio up for sale; since VW almost all but confirmed the Conceptsport won't be built, I’ve got a rival German brand's product lined up ..... special order so still months away …..

    Call first dibs on that Carbonio Johan!

    Was VERY keen on a rocco but the 2dr thing just won't work for us unfortunately I really do love the shape of the rocco

    At this stage finances won't allow the V6 Passat and tbh I really wanted something small and sporty (chuckable) yet still fairly practical. I sat in the R but being a big fella the seats just didn't feel comfortable.

    Despite compromises having to be made I'm more than happy with the GTI, took it for a good long test drive and really loved it.

    Do I smell 1M in your future?

    It's a shame you can't take the tune with you... Like even have it uninstalled/reinstalled for a fair price...
    I guess you got your money's worth out of it!

    Definitely got my money's worth lol. I'm not sure if they give repeat customers a discount? Would be nice if they did.
