Goosie's MK5 R32

(1/6) > >>

Hi everyone,

I've been a member on R32OC for a little while now and thought I'd look for a MK5 forum to join. I'm actually contemplating a swap to an Edition 30 but for now, a little bit about my car....

It's a fairly basic spec manual five-door with leather, satnav and a resonated Milltek system.



First thing I changed was the shift linkage to a Neuspeed short shift. Ordered it a day after picking up the car! Hated the long throw of the OEM linkage, it is hugely better now. Also some minor improvements to breathing...




Didn't rate the Milltek so I had a custom system made by AAS a month or two down the line. It's a resonated system with 3inch outward rolled tips. This is a video of it first fitted, sounds a little different now.

Then came some miscellaneous mods...





I like storage space lol.

Fast forward a few months...it was time to sort the stance out. So along came...



and



With the following results...

I picked up a puncture a day before my refurb was due in. Handy as I planned on changing the mixture of budget and Bridgestones that the previous owner had fitted. Not so nice on the wallet though! Bank holiday weekend meant I could only get a hold of two tyres. So the other two to be fitted next week. I went for Michelin PS3s.







I spent ages looking for the right colour but after much to-ing and fro-ing, we got there eventually. Many thanks to Chris @ wefixalloys for his hard work!

That just about brings me up to date. I don't have anything major planned but hoping to fit my Recaros this summer and various other bits and bobs, which I'll update on here.

Hope you've enjoyed the read!
