ok so i have a pretty standard 2004 mk5 golf tdi sitting outside. its been remapped by previous owner but not much else done to it.

Now heres the list of changes to come

race seats
harnesses and harness bar
roll cage
sound system upgrade
air induction kit
turbo upgrade
egr/egr delete
new pipework across the board
milltech exhaust system
body kit
respray
hatch pop mod
carbon fiber upgrades.
clutch and flywheel upgrades
R32 or better brakes.

ryder2012:
okay so first of all i wanted to get the sound system done and out of the way so i have something to listen to when working on other stuff.

so i went with the following parts.

edge 750w active subwoofer
FLI component 225w speakers for front and rear doors
FLI 800watt amplifier
FLI 4 gauge wiring kit and 8 gauge wiring kit
4 to 8 gauge wiring kit
custom made switches for sound system*
standard RNS510 head unit
splice connectors
dual line out converters

* i got annoyed looking fora switched live.

I havent installed the drivers door speaker and tweeter as of yet, so in the video below the initial music is from the stock speaker.

i couldnt really find an easily available switched live for the amps so i made up some switches with leds and used on of the button blanking plates below ashtray to install them in. i added leds for a visual reminder they are on. its tied into the live and negative of the cigarette/accesory socket.





left switch is for the subwoofer
right switch is for the speakers amplifier

heres the subwoofer



and speakers

Next was the race seats, they're being used with the standard seat belts at the moment as the harness bar doesnt ship till feb and comes in from the states as i couldnt find anyone in the uk that does them.

These where actually a real pain in the arse to fit, i ordered the seats and subframes from FK automotive and the subframes fit the car but not the seat, they said they dont make the subframes to fit the seats....er...what?

well anyone, i decided to make my own sub frames from 1" side and 5mm thick hot rolled steel. they are bolt assembled but will be welded up and powercoated eventually.

heres a few snap shops of the seats installed as i didnt intend on a project thread while making the frames so didnt photograph it as i built them.







as you can see the internal lighting has been changed over to led blue as well. theres also blue led strips in the foot wells, looking to have the vagcom changed to have the footwell lights on with ignition so they'll be on anytime the car is.

ryder2012:
i've put these on order





Along with a pipercross viper intake system.

The intake system has a carbon fiber heat shield in the pipe work to keep the air cool. will see how it does when it gets installed really.

Next on the list of purchases is a carbon fiber hood and aerocatch hood pin mechanisms.

Are the pedals going to fit? The accelerator pedal comes from the floor doesnt it?
