:) Hi Rez,

Welcome to the club.

I suggest you click on the TDI advert at the bottom of the page. They have a good, easy to follow website and the main man, Mark, has close links with the Owners Club. :tumble:

Enjoy

Welcome to the club and congratulations on your new car ...

First thing to do is sign up for 'Gold' membership.

Believe me, 25quid shelled out for 'Gold' will more than pay for itself in discounts if you're buying stuff.

Worth noting that your car will get a bit more 'oomphy' once it's done a few thousand miles .... noticeably so.

For a big power hike, you need a supercharger - obviously :)

But that's about 4k once fitted so may be out for now.

Exhaust is always a good starting place and HKS is a popular choice here.

Also look at Peco - reasonably priced and looks nicer than the crap i remember peco used to produce years ago.

TTE, Remus and others also do IS exhausts ...

Then there's filters, plugs etc which may provide small gains.

Nothing much in the intake department yet.

You might wanna have a chat with TDi in Barking.

I'm sure Mark will give you some tips on a good order to approach things.

Good luck - have fun

This is good advice - TDI have an excellent reputation in these parts.

another good idea would be to look into becoming a Gold Member of the club.

It is only £25 for a year - and if you are seriously considering modifying your car, a gold membership will entitle you to a whole raft of decent discounts with the companies who sell the sort of kit you'll be buying.

It's really easy - just click on the Go Gold button below anybodies post

I'd definitely recommend Gold whether you're going for mods or not.

Discounts are obviously the main benefit, but the Gold Forums can also provide a wealth of knowledege....and entertainment!

Welcome to the Club though!

haha yeah very interesting posts on gold section, some mad crazy topics up now haha. well worth the £25 fee to read these. these ppl give me jokes (not always good jokes eh Matt!!)

welcome to club though

You've got to join Gold. If like me you pick up your own service costs the discounts on this alone will pay for the fee many times over. As for the jokes:rolleyes:
