  1. Or maybe either the Ibiza FR (128BHP) superchipped or just the Cupra which wouldn't need to be chipped cus it moves like crap off a shovel (157BHP)!!!!!!!!!!! cheers for the ideas anyway
  2. 500??? I've seen like 5 since yesterday. They r cheaper to buy than a VW and just as reliable so I think i'm gonna go 4 one of those. I checked out the Audi TDi's and the more powerful TDi A3 is in insurance group 13 whereas the Fabia is only in 9, plus the A3 takes an extra second to get to 60 cus its built like a tank!!!!
  3. Hm yer here I go agen btw lol replyin to myself!! http://pistonheads.com/sales/223490.htm SO I could get a remapped vRS for les than a standard GT TDi. Thanx 4 the mention of the vRS, that may well be what I go for now (well in about a year wen i have sum no claims n sum money!!!)
  4. Yer, lol at the comment about me replyin to my own posts, im such a loner. Would a VRS be cheaper than a GT TDi? I'll check it out now.Yer, lol at he comment about me replyin to my own posts, im such a loner. Would a VRS be cheaper than a GT TDi? I'll check it out now.
  5. My mistake u cant get a GT TDi for that price at all, ur lookin £9000 so that is a good price. Ouch how am i gonna afford that??!!!!!!! LOL
  6. Actually, i've found 1 for sale on pistonheads that has been remapped and it claims 180BHP, so that kind of answers my question. Anyone else think its overpriced though considerin u can get a standard 1 for £5000 and have it remapped for £700? http://pistonheads.com/sales/213380.htm
  7. Ok Ok I know i'm being a pain with these constant questions, but i'm gonna ask another 1 The 1.9 GT TDi Polo is pretty fast anyway. I was talkin to a friend of mine about remapping TDi engines in the Golf. He said you could remap the GT Tdi 150 Golf up to about 210. Does anyone know what the difference would be in the Polo if that was remapped? Cause im thinkin bout gettin one of those, remappin it n puttin sum coilovers on it and then hopefully it would perform about as well (if not better) than a Lupo GTi and the insurance might still b cheaper?? Anyone?
  8. U also as someone else said definitely need to check ur monitor has HDCP, otherwise its pretty much not gonna work. Hope i've helped a bit :S
  9. The only thing with Direct Line is they have some stupid rule that they just refuse to insure anyone under the age of 25 on a car with ANY modifications, no matter how minor. But yeah im with them at the moment and they were much cheaper than anyone else
  10. How the hell did u get 2 years no claims by the time u were 19? either u passed really early or got one of those bonus accelerator thingies??? Cheers for the help mate, much appreciated. Also, while im typin. the person i bought my DTurbo off said that it had got new turbo. How do I find out if this gives the same performance as the manufacturer fitted turbo, any ideas?
  11. hmm i wonder what the quote would be for me on a GTi hypothetically if I turn 19 with a years no claims and no points on my licence? I might check it out (TPFT obviously, i'm not a wealthy oil baron)!!! But yeah that quote for the TDi isn't bad at all. I've had 3 crashes and been caught speeding excessively. Fortunately I havnt claimd n the copper let me off. Lets hope my luck contnues
  12. Well funds are tight for me atm. I really wanted a 306 but had to settle for a less than perfct example!!! Mechanically it is awesome, but the bodywork leaves a lot to be desired.How old are you VAGGIRL? are you also debating whether toget a GTi or a remapped TDi? If you're a similar age to me (18 im only a baby hehe) then the TDi might make more sense.I'm just gonna wait and see. I'm not gonna be able to afford either until im 19 (next may) anyway, hopefully i'll have a years no claims by then.cheers g-man
  13. hehe fair play, u wud b screwed if u had an accident and they sent an assessor out tho.
  14. Point taken willcrook but im guesin u cud put xenons in and make the TDi look more exciting. Plus, the TDi has loads more torque. I would rather have a GTi but i'm just thinkin from an expense point of view. Oh btw Daz does ur insurace company know about all the mods on ur Arosa lol??
  15. haha yeah us DTurbo owners are everywhere!!! Cheers for that.Does anyone have a remapped TDi and if so do they know the 0-60 figures etc... I'm an honest kinda guy, I must admit I would probably tell them it was rempped, damn my honesty!!!!
  16. I was determined that the next car i was going to get would be a GTi. but now i'm not so sure. I've read in a thread that u can re-map the TDi up to 117BHP?? If I did this would the insurance still be in group three or would it turn out to be near the insurance for a GTi? Also, what would be the difference in performance. Any ideas, suggestions etc would be great
  17. Hey! I spoke to my mate last night and he suggested all of the other stuff that has already been said. However he also had an idea which I don't think has been brought up. You need to check if u have a single link or dual link HDMI-DVI cable. The way to tell is by lookin at the end, if there are pins in all the gaps then it is dual link otherwise it may be single link. If it is single link it may be worth getting a dual link (ebuyer.co.uk) and trying that?
  18. Thanks all. Good luck Amber
  19. Hey just wondering if anyone else got A-Level results today? I got B's in Economics, English Literature and General Studies and a C in History. So not too bad
  20. Just had a look and I can get a replacemen HDD for about £30 so not too disastrous, although I might just treat myself to a new one
  21. I think it has had it to be honest. I would restore factory settings but my P.C isn't even recognising my ipod and it is way past the point of fixing it by resetting it. Thanks anyway, i thought it was screwed just wanted to make sure
  22. O.k i've got a 4th gen Ipod (20gb). Weneva i go to turn it on the logo of an ipod with an unhappy face comes up. I have taken the back of the ipod and discovered that there is an unhealthy sounding clicking noise coming for the hard drive. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers
  23. Hmm ill ask my mate 2moro afternoon if you havent got it sorted by then, he might have some ideas. Good luck
  24. Hey mate, bummer about the connection. Im afraid I cant suggest anythin that hasn't already been said, sorry! Have u tried LupoN's latest suggestion, cus thats wot i wud do? Sorry i couldnt be more help, if you get really stuck i'll phone my mate who is an absolute geek. Cheers 4 the vote of confidence tho
  25. Yeah Clarkson likes the Lupo, I think he wud put it on the cool section. Hes not such a big fan of the Fox tho LOL
