Peskarik: Edition 30 Oettinger Stage 2
illyun:
Nice write up Peskarik :happy2: I noticed that Hurdy and RedRobin were blamed mentioned for your modding bug... funny that, as I blamed mentioned them on my write ups after modding my car. They've got a lot to answer for :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
Finally, don't you get points in Switzerland or is it just a fine?! :confused:
Peskarik:
After some time I noticed Oettinger Stage 1 was not enough anymore.
Especially as once on highway I could not decimate a disel Golf MkV (though I was accelerating from 6th gear and about 120kmh). :confused:
I needed a fix, basically. I knew it would be expensive, because, as someone rightly noted, Oettinger comes at a price. Especially in Switzerland. (ABT is even more expensive, though).
But I thought, what the hell, money is there to make and spend, and I want to go through a tuning phase, to remember it when I am an old guy driving something more mundane, a Ferrari perhaps. :smiley:
So I went to Oettinger and got Stage 2 done:
1) S3 intercooler
2) 3-inch exhaust from cat
3) Carbonio intake
4) HPFP
5) Oettinger map, on paper 330hp/460Nm (optimized for Shell Power 100 juice, which I anyway always put into my car)
After talk with Hurdy, who is my ambassador of tuning :smiley:, I decided to get downpipe with 200-cell cat installed as well.
And I lifted the car 5mm at that point.
The change was obvious, my Oettinger representative showed me what the car can do when he drove it like he stole it. I never drive like that, so that was an eye opener. With free exhaust and HPFP the car feels much more, how to say it best, serious. Taut. Together. I like it a lot. :happy2:
Lifting the car up produced this:
hard to notice, but it is now not as low as before:
the pipes with Oettinger logo:
Peskarik:
I have never considered any external mods, as I find the car looking nice as it is, but two small mods I wanted to do nonetheless:
1) black VW badge upfront
2) open fog grills
I've done these mods a few days ago.
Two hours ago :smiley: the car looked like this:
The right open grill (if looking at car from the front) came with a diffusor that leads the air towards the arch, while the left was open, and now I am thinking what all the water and dirt will do to the bolts that are right in there:
Towards winter I'll probably replace the left open fog grill with the closed one.
Peskarik:
Just a picture of a GTI of an acquaintance in Moscow. They cover the roads with special reagents that melt everything in minus 10 degrees weather, erode your shoes, and feel oily to the touch.
That is about an hour after he had it washed. :confused:
If anything, the roads in Switzerland are very clean! I've driven my Ed30 in autumn and winter and did not wash it for two months, and it was very very white still!
That pic is taken in February, I believe, and I haven't washed the car for 2 months:
