2l tdi mk5 project.
xjay1337:
I would go for GTI pedals as well IMO. GTI pedals are what are used in the VW Cup cars.. Jetta/Scirocco/Golf etc.
Won't work anyway because floor mounted.
not a fan of the seats personally but look forward to seeing the rest of the build progress. have some nice ideas. :drinking:
would personally have not spent any money on the intake bearing in mind that the factory air box is not restrictive at all, could be dollar towards something else. looks nice normally never the less.
ryder2012:
money isnt a problem for this. also the intake is lighter than the stock air filter also the air reaching the intake should be cooler.
the seats...they was chosen for cost and weight until i can order the actual seats i want for the car. want to install momo daytona evo's in the front. 9.5kg without the subframes. these seats i currently have are about 11/12kg. either way FAR lighter together than a single stock seat lol.
the ordered pedals will work just fine with a little modification to the stock accelerator pedal
xjay1337:
okay.... just because you have lots of money to spend doesn't mean you need to change everything "just because".
IE the intake, no gains (this is very well proven) but probably a couple of hundred?
good luck anyway man!
ryder2012:
the intake will have a collective gain. one peice of a jigsaw.
I've got an aim to reduce the weight of the car to a set amount. but given performance upgrades and safety parts, i.e roll cage and harness bar, i need to change some things that may give no power increase, but a weight reduction to compensate for the added weight of the safety parts.
so say you reduce the cars weight to 1000kg but then have to add 200kg in roll cage and harness bar, you swap out the hood and boot for carbon fiber, remove rear seats, change the intake for a lighter one and other bits n bobs and the collective weight reduction will being you back to the desired weight.
thats the main reason, that and noise lol.
performance isnt just raw power, its many things. weight is another one of those things.
Andy:
You also need to change the brakes on the car
