Jimbob's EK9 replacement!!!!

[JIMBOB-EK9]

Just thought i would share with you guys my new car i have got to replace my EK9 that i sold last weekend.

Really didnt want to sell the 9 TBH but it is about time i got my prioritys sorted & had more time & money for my family.
I will have another 9 in the next year or two, but i will buy a rolling shell & build it from the ground up into a race car for the VTC

Anyway enough of the chat about selling the 9 & onto my new daily/family car.

It is a 52 plate Golf GT TDI 130 with FSH & 86,000 miles on the clock.

It has a full genuine R32 kit
19" BBS wheels (not sure of the model)
GAZ coilovers
Full Miltek "R32" exhaust
It has had a remap at some point but no documents to show it (it pulls alot harder than a normal 130, will get it on Will's dyno at some point to see were its at )
Ipod conection built into the OEM stereo

Here are the pic's from when it was advertised, but i will be giving it a full clean & detail over the weekend & get some fresh pic's

I am very happy with it for a daily car & returning 45-55mpg is a nice change!

C&C welcome

Very nice, the r32 kit has me fooled till I read gt tdi

 

[stef jones]

are the twin exhausts connected up? will be a bit smokey when you boot it if they are lol

 

[Jimbo]

BBS LM's they look like reps though dude.

 

[Topher-EK9]

i think these come stock with duel exhaust. the ones in the USA do, if you can find them.

you may be thinking of the R32's the one with the 3.2 V6.
this is a 1.9 4 pot diesel turbo with the bodykit from the R32 variant..
it says its a full miltek exhaust so i would think it is plumbed in.
don't mean to patronise mate, just didn't know if they have the GT TDI in the states thats all

Nice runaround JIMBOB !!

That's tidy mate! Very nice, that's the sort of thing im after at the moment. 50+MPG

I'm not sure if i like it? I like vags but not a diesel with a R32 trim, kinda like sticking a type r badge on a 1.4 non-vtec civic lol

Sometimes we have to sort out priorities.....sorry you had to lose the ek9 though

Good replacement, like said its a bit wired putting the kit on a non-r32 but it does make it look better hope the plans for ek9 in future can stick

On a plus mate this should give me some more time to help you & the others out in the pits for the VTC
Can't wait to see you out there mate, it is going to be an amazing season (gutted it dosnt look like I will make it out there, this year at least)
