Jonnyc's MK5 ED30 Build Thread..
JPC:
yep....i agreee its a must for those who fit a GTI grill on a non GTI. such as i have. i dont want to be pretending do i?
i was very very fussy about this kind of thing with the GTI anniversary. which i still have! lol
i am ALLL about the GTI heritage! :0
JPC:
i was going to say that.
the mk5 is an iconic car, even just from what it has come from and its stems in history with the mk1.
i would say its one of the most important, it certainly brought back the excitement of the GTi. The mk4 2.0 GTi did NOT help the GTI brand at all, and the mk5 has most certainly put it firmly back in place! ;)
jonnyc:
Thats cool.. :happy2:

WOW Jonny! I have been away for a week and the transformation in such a short time is awesome! Loving the drop, the wheels, the white stripe on the grill, the yellow fogs! I could go on and on! Really looking forward to seeing it in four months time :happy2: :jumpmove:

Cheers mate..
Really want to get a few more bits done to finish off the exterior before christmas but not sure if im going to have time.. Think ill just wait until the new year and get it all done then :smiley: Really looking forward to seeing the changes I have in mind on the car :laugh:
Anyways another quick update on the progress for ya..
I Dropped in at Revo on Wednesday to have the car mapped, thanks to Kev and Carl and big thanks to Mark!!
Obviously it has transformed the car, its running the Stage 2 map at the moment, which will allow me to have the exhaust built and fitted without worrying about a CEL on the dash.. Super smooth, progressive delivery etc etc.. Very pleased
Considering it only has the map and intake the car is extremely strong, coupled with the DSG there is zero lag between gears, feels very much like a sequential change now!! Cant wait to have the exhaust, fuel pump and intercooler done and then I can go back and upgrade to Stage 2+!! Its going to fly!!
Also removed all of the rear interior from the car, boot contents etc.. Lots of weight saved (around 50+KG) and I can certainly feel it!!
Love this car more and more each time I do something to it haha..
