Sunset Red 1.4 TSI(TFSI) GT Sport - daily drive & track car
the bruce:
If you like have a visit to Raeder-Motorsport.de (in Oberbahr) as well.
Most of the time they have two GTIs there.
But I'd leave the car as it is. Now it's nice combination of performance,
drivability and understatement. If you go any further you will loose one
component.
rex:
True. :happy2:
Thanks for the tip.
Are the GTI prepared for racing? If they are than they have a full rollcage which is too extreme for me since I don't take part in any competitions.
Rent-racecar.de has only half rollcages (rollbars) like SteveP or NeilM which are the roll cages I am interested in.
My intention at this moment is to let the car as-is. The things I don't like about the interior is that the seats have very little lateral support and that I would like the car to be safer for the trackdays. I could really benefit from a rollcage and 4-5-6 point harness. This year I will definitely do nothing in this respect but who knows what will happen next year :rolleye:...
Thank for you all comments so far. You are really helpful!
Any chance you will be at Nring the following weekend (so I can buy you a bear)?
the bruce:
Look for a Schroth 'Quick Fit'.
And if you need it get a used Recaro PolePosition and fit it for track days only.
Both GTIs are pure track toys. Maybe they do GLP from time to time as well.
No comfort. When I say no comfort, I do mean 'NO' comfort. :wink:
green: the one below (red: mine)
There's a white Mk.V GTI as well. :wink:

Rex, I can give you my GTI seats next spring when I'll install the polepositions but you'll have to re-dress them to match your car's interior ! They have 26Kgs each, probably about the same weight as yours but better lateral support !
rex:
the bruce, thanks for the tip. I will pay them a visit.
fuscobal your seats are great if I want to keep the interior. They have better lateral support and are heated :happy2:, BUT re-dressing them will be very difficult and expensive (I am better of buying a complete mk5 GTI interior).
Cheers! :drinking:
