So i'm pretty new to this forum, have been lurking around behind the scenes since i bought my MKV. I used to be in the Honda scene and had a DC2 integra - but that got stolen while i was at work. This lead me to get something a little more luxury but i still wanted the potential to go fast and look good haha :p

So about 3 months ago i purchased this 2005 Golf MKV for an awesome price! White, sunroof, tint :)

Since then its been a downward spiral, fun but expensive!

Sorry for the crappy pictures but here is a little log of my car's history since i've had it. I'm thoroughly enjoying every moment with this car and its a total different machine compared to the honda. I guess future plans are to come to a couple track days and do a few more changes but that will definitely come in due course..

haha not much dude just finished work and picked my car up from Canberra VW Centre after my service. Got the DP and TAI installed while it was there. Now just need to download the bluefin stage 2 map! Can't wait to load her all up!

What happened with the teg? can't believe you sold it so soon and after you got it all fixed up!

Hey mate its a votex replica from Bayson R motorsports on ebay - i did a lot of research on it (GOLFMKV.COM forum) and it seems like one of the best replicas.

I paid about $250 delivered. It fits amazing and looks OEM on my car, cant wait to get my lowers painted.

what are your FK Konigsports like ??

Tehy are great, i went with them because they had the Koni shocks rather than the Fk shocks. can go nice and low whilst still comfy at almost full stiff!
