Hello from me
Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2007 8:36 pm
Hello
Firstly, I am Kris. I spell it with a k. Hence being called Kriswithak. I also post on other "dub" forums as The Colonel.
Until two weeks ago I was driving a 272bhp Audi S2 Coupe. It was fast. Very fast.
It also drank all the fuel in the world ever.
I sold it. I was sad.
So I bought something else. I have a new job. I have to drive to various parts of Kent for training as some of it is Maidstone, some at Medway University and some where I get stationed in East Kent, so I needed a car that didn't do an average of 18mpg, but was still a bit fun.
So yesterday I bought a 2001 Polo GTI in red. It has 58,000 on the clock, has been lowered and is really quite tidy.
The wheels need a bit of alteration. Maybe change them in favour of something else, wondering what RS4 replicas would look like (not current RS4, the previous Avant style ones) or it has been suggested that a gloss black refurb would look pretty good. Also the fist sized Ricer exhaust has to go, it is too bloody loud and looks like something out that s**t film with Vin Diesel.
First big question from me is this:
Need to change the Head Unit, can't stand VW standard stuff for some reason, and I have an almost new Alpine MP3/WMA Glidtouch sitting on the passenger seat. Have got the unit out, using the cut up AA card method, however as well as the blocks for power and speakers there are some other wires connected to it. What are these for and can I simply remove them or do I need to do something?
Cheers for your help guys, look forward to posting here more often. I'd keep posting on S2forum, but I am missing a cylinder, a turbo, a quattro and about 150 horses!

I bet you can't hear yourself think at motorway speeds!
Welcome dude!
