Members Rides / Re: Sunset Red 1.4 TSI(TFSI) GT Sport - daily drive & track car

Due to the recent warm weather, I managed to drive the Golf... And I have to report the seating position (with the lower seats and steering wheel adapter) is awesome. I truly love it. I feel much more connected tot the car than previously.
As of now, so after only a 15km (9 mile) drive, I have to say the mods are worth it.
Compared to the driving position in my previous 718 GT4 or my current 911, I only dislike 2 things: the pedals are offset to the right (at least for LHD cars) and because of the steering spacer the steering wheel stalks are 5cm further away from the steering wheel (and harder to access especially if you have small hands).

And, something new:











These are BBS CH024 made for Audi (8P0601025R). The offset is 54 (7,5 x 18, ET 54, CB 57.1), so not ideal especially for my car, but I'll fit larger wheel spacers.
Just couldn't pass them on because they were heavily discounted by Audi themselves.
Can't wait to have them fitted!

I had the DNX516DABS fitted in my car. Decent enough unit and integrated easily with the steering controls etc but I was looking to swap it for a more modern unit with wireless connection before I eventually got rid of the car.

I find Google better as it deep dives better into the forum

Just add mk5golfgti.co.uk to the search keywords and you're golden.

If the lack of any equipment doesn't bother you than go for it. I would thoroughly check the car for rust (especially the sills and underbody).

Hey guys

My name is Diogo.
I have a 2008 Volkswagen Golf V GTI 2.0 TFSI 200HP.
I have a 250HP remap with NGK coils and spark plugs, a Racingline air filter, and a downpipe.

I'm thinking about changing my K03 turbo to a K04 and will soon be posting more about my GTI project.
Thanks for stopping by.
I send a big hug to the whole community.
Diogo, VW Golf V GTI  :happy2: :drinking:

Hello all,

I am possibly looking to buy the above referenced car,   I was wondering if it was a known forum car or any ex owners on here?


Thanks

Looks a very nice car in the ad. If the cambelt and water pump are changed and there are no other 'to-do' items, then £6K is a fair price especially given the low mileage.

I would double check there is a wire and not make the assumption, as the car might see the stalk but it is not being received by the ECU.

I sell the wire if needed, as if everything else is fitted and coded that is all  :happy2:
