might as well join the fun with a brief history lesson .
I bought the golf April 2009 with the attitude of that'll do for now it was a clean car with full history and local , I was looking for a clio 172 at the time but of sick of looking at cars with some kind of issues when I saw the golf I thought got to be worth a look ,road test done nothing exciting but drove well enough so agreed a deal , during the course of conversation the prospect of mapping them came up and with the thought of an additional 50-60 hp the deal was done 3 days after picking it up it was into r-tech in Hinckley and made a healthy 210hp from the original 150 , a friend drove it a couple of weeks later and the search was on for a second one ,a bit of friendly rivalry was born . 4 months later it had its first visit to the ring still completely standard apart from the re map after that the modifications slowly started until l decided to pull it to pieces to find some more power that was 2 years ago , ill give a brief run down of spec before it came off road and then where it's heading now , I didn't care about photo's as things were starting but nows an ideal opportunity to keep it up to date .
