    Figured I might as well get a photo of it while it's actually clean for once. Nothing special but I like to think of it as my pride and joy!

    It wasn't. A few people met up for a spin. I don't think I've broken anything in the charter/forum rules/thread rules by posting that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,451 ✭✭✭CharlieCroker


    Was a great spin. Hopefully next time we'll get molls gap in as well. Had to stay away this time with the rally going on.

    So i bought a 106 gti last week, and so far I'm delighted with it. A very quick car and lots of fun :) A few bits to be done to it, have it booked for NCT next week. Some crap phone pictures:

    Must replace the back lights asap!

    She's getting on a bit now (11 this year) but still scrubs up well I think :)

    Still running great with 325,000km on the clock too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,301 ✭✭✭Supergurrier


    Awesome cars.

    When i bought 535d i was on lookout for a 06 or so avant but no joy.

    3.0 tdi sounds so much better

    No argument here :) It's also efficient enough to be practical as a daily driver (I do about 1500km a week of mostly motorway and she'll do about 900ish to a tank, even with my heavy right foot :))

    But with the way insurance is going in this country, I think she'll have to go next year :( I've already started keeping an eye out but virtually everything is 2.0 TDI and with not half the spec mine has.

    Not a common car to see these days(never really were). A mate of mine had the Rallye and it was a fantastic car.

    Crazy. IMH the way insurance is going in this country is nothing short of criminal.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Yeah I saw keypads on the other gti's I saw, but my one doesn't have any, it just needs the key. Does anyone know if all gti's are meant to have them?

    Thanks :) I think there's a problem though, I have a Snap-on scanner and tried plugging it into the car, a message comes up on the screen saying it can't communicate with the ECU and to check if the code has been entered correctly. Strange enough because I can access airbag and abs information, just not the engine information so I can't see if there's any fault codes stored.

    I've been in the lucky position of driving a 1978 911 with a full turbo conversion. LHD 3.3L (afair) with a 4 speed box in it. What a blast, scared the widdle out of myself doing it.

    Still have the Chaser, I put old wheels back on, dont think I will sell now.

    Christ I cant go anywhere these days without the paps following it seems hahaha Cheers lad. I'd got bored of studying with the sun out today, so deceided to give the car a bit of a quick clean before the weekend. It was only when I seen the sky I said Id kill a few stones and get a few pics while it doesnt look like its been dragged through a rally stage, on the off chance I ever get a notion to sell. Great spot for pics, once you morally ignore its a graveyard, and its only about half a mile from the house :-)

    So your the man who snapped that wee rocket. Well ware lad. Fairly known around the 106 community, has a decent bitta engine spec afaik. I used to meet that car most days in and out of college as the guy with it lived down around Mahon. Met him on the South Link when I had the Corolla GTi and.......lets just say we both kept the the speed limit, rigidly hahaha

    Haha :) I love your 106, I swear I saw you somewhere recently, were you at the lakes? Do you know what upgrades were done actually? Because the guy I bought it off of thought that it was remapped or something, but he didn't know.
