Hi All,
So I posted up an introduction thread earlier this week, advising that I had purchased my new car after a month of searching within a 100 mile radius of where I live for a Golf GTI. I wanted to make sure it didn't have too many miles, had full VW service history, paintwork was in good nick etc etc.
Finally though, after all my looking a garage just 4 miles down the road from me got this little gem in, and I wasted no time in securing the buy.
In my opinion, it's a lovely example of a MK5 Golf GTI in Graphite Blue. Can't really fault the exterior at all. Interior, pretty much spotless.
07 plate with 65k miles, full VW service history. MOT recently done in March.
Here's some photo's I took when I got it back home today having picked it up:

:congrats: Very, very nice, it looks in great condition. Good spec too. Loving the monza 2's, same as mine. Have they been refurbed with the black inlays?
Graphite Blue is actually my favourite colour for the mk5 GTI, I couldn't find a good one in my price range when I was looking to buy. I settled on my second favourite, in the end...black :grin:
I would check the usual suspects first before modding and mapping. DV, Cam follower, PCV to start with. (If they haven't been done already). Enjoy it standard for a bit. Then it's a slippery slope into modding :grin:
There's a mountain of advise and how to dos on here if you need it....enjoy your ride..
:happy2:
-
Thanks for the kind words!
As far as I am aware, the alloys have not been refurbed. The garage I bought this form said they were standard from factory. Can't say I'm overly knowledgable about these particular alloys, so can't say for definite if the case or not. I love them though, look brand new.
It took me ages to find a Golf without any major defects in paintwork or alloys, really keen on this colour too. Only got serviced end of March, so everything should be in order.
I've already purchased some fK Highsport Coilovers from a mate of mine who has just taken them off his S3. Only 3 months worn and sold them to me for £175.00. Bargain! Should be £400.00 brand new I believe!
Not having them from him until end of next month though once I have some more funds in the bank.
-
Looking good from another graphite blue owner :happy2:
Alloys look brand new. Nice!
-
Don't you mean purchasing projector headlights?
-
Thanks!
Reflector .. Projector .. Same difference

So just a small addition made to the car today. Ordered some GTI seat inserts as I think they look pretty smart. Stainless steel ones off Ebay for like a fiver.
You've all probably seen it before, but here's before and after shot:

Should have two other small changes to update about by end of the week hopefully :)
-
Just picked some of these myself but only needed the passengers side as my drivers side is electric :signLOL:
-
Looking good!

So a few updates for you all.
I went and bought some 6k LED number plate lights off eBay for like £20.00.
Didnotexpect the brightness, but I like it.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fdd445%2FvT_Mayhem%2F20150608_223830.jpg&hash=7c85521a339bcb0bd739b35ca755c9ed3a0231d4)
The plan was to buy my air induction kit next, but my mate suddenly decided he was selling his AK Highsport coilovers from his S3.
These coilovers are usually in the region of about £350-400.00 from what I can gather, and he was selling him to me at mate rates
£200.00 :P
So this weekend me and a few guys helped fit the coilovers to the car. :laugh:
Really pleased with how it's sitting now. BE GONE ARCH GAP!

This is about the best photo I have of it before having the coilovers on. I forgot to take one on flat ground properly :confused:

Not had chance to drive much since fitting them, but the ride isn't much bouncier than it was standard tbh.
I can barely tell the difference. And there are no helpers in either.
Chucked it round few islands at 60mph and it handles pretty well. Would recommend these coilovers if you aren't looking to splash out on a £800+ set of Bilsteins etc.

I love the 'SORRY' plate :wink: :smiley:

Looks so much better lowered! Really shows how high they are standard
Future plans? Wheels?

Yeah it's so much better now. Hated the arch gap. Just have to be careful on speed bumps now as it does scrape a little if they are the massive ones. Thankfully not really any about where I live or commute to work.
August I should be getting a Carbonio induction kit. Which is the next thing on my list.
Probably invest in some HIDs too and interior LED bulbs.
Unlikely to change the wheels anytime soon. Really like the MOnza IIs I have on now.
Just need to possibly refurb the one, where it looks like water has got underneath and started to bubble round the centre cap.
-
Nice ride man, very neat. Looking forward to see what you do to her.
Have fun :driver:
-
Nice delivery arrived today
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2FvT_Mayhem%2FMobile_Uploads%2F20150810_172958.jpg&hash=890164e170b9c1cc53fef2f50648ee09c44422c3)
Ramair 90mm oversize induction kit
Hopefully get round to fitting this week.
Few other deliveries coming this week too.

So tonight my mate and I fitted my RAMAIR 90mm oversize induction kit.
Bit of a pain in parts, but all in all was done in about 2 hours.
Main problem was two simple things really.
Getting the engine cover off! Damn rubber grommet things grip like mad at the front.
And also getting the original pipe off at the back of the engine. Had to twist for ages to remove it.
The actual fitting of the kit was relatively straight forward.
Very snug fit though, not much room to play with.
Can't fault the design really. Built well and the heat shields are smartly made.
And the head is just huge to be quite frank. Which I love.
It dumps hard now, love the sound. I'm like a big kid again!
Car also feels noticeably more responsive when flooring it.
Seems quicker.
Photos from tonight:

Need to look at getting a TTRS cover soon, as I like to keep it all looking nice and tidy under the hood.
Should have another small addition to the car arriving tomorrow or Thursday hopefully too.
This weekend I'll be fitting some uprated RS3 top mounts too. Busy week!

Little package was waiting for me when I got back from work today
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2FvT_Mayhem%2FMobile_Uploads%2F20150812_173649.jpg&hash=7d267751a42ec8b047e013c99c3932d0a503a1ef)
My GTi metal footrest of course. Really simple addition to the car but love how everything is now matching

Excuse the fact I haven't vacuumed for a while :sad1:
-
Stunning colour!
-
Thanks bud!
The colour really stood out to me compared to the rest available.
-
That looks awesome, clean paint and lowered on them alloys looks mint

So, as I haven't updated in ages, figured I would give y'all some photos of the winter detail I had on my car by my mate @ Shine And Revive in the West Mids.
Unfortunately decided to throw it down on the day, so work was done under the cover a large gazebo!
Did a cracking job and even managed to get many of the light scratches out of my paintwork, thanks to a machine polish :)
I know how you're all suckers for photos :signLOL:

Also should be able to pop back up tomorrow with a new part installed :wink:
Weather permitting .....
Few other parts inbound within the next month or two as well.
Exciting times, got a lot planned this year!!
-
So, a small update. Bought some pressed metal plates and the ABT Wolfsburg surrounds.
Very happy with the finish on the plates
Plate surrounds I'm also pleased with.

Got a few other parts still to fit, just finding the time to do them!
-
I really like the look of the plates with those surrounds... Might be copying you soon :rolleye:
Quick question how do the surround mount onto the bumper?

Just have to un-screw the plate on the back, then screw in one of the surrounds. Slot the plate in the side then.
On the front, unscrew the plate, then un-screw the front OEM surround. And replace with new surround :)
-
Finally after a month and a half, I've got the front arches rolled and new 3SDM 0.06 wheels fitted. Been torture not being able to fit them.
Had to buy the Superpro adjustable balljoints as well to get the fronts to fit, as it happens, the standard balljoints were a fail on my MOT last week so just as well I bought them! Below are some pictures from today.
Also, I am aware the wheels are facing opposite directions. I thought it looked pretty cool when driving to see the effect it gives of them spinning in opposite directions, but my OCD is really kicking in, so swapping the backs over tomorrow so facing same way lol. Damn OCD.
New FK droplinks on front as standard OEM ones were fooooked:

Will take another few shots tomorrow once backs are swapped over.
Also never got round to posting few other mods I did a couple weeks back.
Fitted R32 taillights, courtesy of @GarethB (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4024) , smooth sale and sound guy. Would recommend if he has any future sales.
Also sold me his open fog grilles
Easy to fit both, and I'm pure dumb when it comes to fitting things myself lol.
Shot of the R32 taillights in, though not sure the photo does the colour difference justice:

Have also got the Whiteline 24mm RARB fitted, but forgot to take photos when it was fitted, and also forgot today when the car was jacked up .... swear I have a memory like a sieve!
Should hopefully have a few other things to add to the ever growing list in the next month or so.
-
Gave the car a good clean today, pleased with the results and shine from just using snowfoam and Meguiars gold class.

Bit gutted that I don't think I'm going to be able to get the drivers side arch re-sprayed in time for Early Edition next weekend, but not much can be done about it.
Should have a few other updates before the Sunday done on the car though with any luck.
-
Really like the colour of your motor has a nice glossy shine to it,the rims are smart too :drool:
Keep up the good work.
-
Soooo a little bit to update.
Forgot to take pictures of before and after, but both my front arches have now been repaired and resprayed. Was really getting me down as it was letting the cars look down, but the guy I know has done a perfect job, which I'm over the moon about. Even got the little kink out the metal.
Only other thing to update on is I've now got my smoothed grill on, which makes me love the front end look even more :evilgrin: here's a photo:

Few things in the pipeline before Players @Goodwood on 10th June, so should hopefully have some more updates between now and then to share.
Other than that, obligatory photos of the car when the ball of fire that decided to show up at the weekend :signLOL:

Have you not got the wheels on the wrong sides of the car? The 0.06's are fully directional so each wheel is different. I ran a set on my Mk4 for a bit, can you see the difference?

Yeah I can see the difference. Yours are facing backwards, mine are facing forwards.
Are they meant to face backwards? I didn't think it mattered so long as both tyres on the one side are facing same way.
-
Just personal preference I guess, I always thought they looked a bit odd facing forwards.
On another note, how do you find the ram air intake?
-

You've made me paranoid now lol. Might switch them over so they face backwards.
I love it, it's loud which is what seems to put a few people off. Makes some really nice sounds as well.
Also feel like it's built well, the two heatshields that come with it aren't flimsy and do the job well. The one at back of engine bay is a bit of a pig to fit though, due to the lack of space to first get it in place.
Believe it is a bit cheaper than the Revo and EVOMS intakes as well, so getting good value for money.

Sooo finally decided to do my next big mod :jumping: I decided to get in touch with Nige and ordered myself the Sports Catback Exhaust.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2FvT_Mayhem%2FMobile_Uploads%2F20160526_185720.jpg&hash=bba6702d4930efa2392a8e6c46e27e63b12c093f)
I had toyed with the idea of getting the WRC system, but I didn't want it sounding overly loud, I know for a fact it would have caused tension with the parents as well when I fire the car up in a morning when I leave for work. Settled with the sports catback after a lengthy discussion with Nige and looking at feedback from your good selves on the forum who already have this on the car.
Today I helped fit it at the garage I use a lot locally, also into modifying cars etc. so had sound knowledge of what needed to be done. All fitted in about an hour, fairly simple to fit, just needed to use a bit of grease on the pipes to help them slide on easier. This was fitting to the OEM DP as well, so just required cutting off at the right part on DP to allow fitment. Only thing that is bugging me, it looks like it's sitting too low at the back, which you will see in one of the photos. I'm not sure if it's meant to be like that or not, as couldn't see a way of getting it any higher. I guess the old box would have sat just as low?
The build quality is top notch, can't fault it I have to say. The welding is clean as well. Lovely touch with the stabiliser pole as well, even the garage complimented it being an innovative design that works very well.
The noise is just what I wanted as well, you will hear it a bit ticking over in the video below, I will do a video over the weekend just on the drive when I'm on the gas. I would do one whilst driving but I don't have a GoPro etc. to record with. Some photos below as well:

You went with the new tips
-
Yeah I went with the Lightning tips. Look the part and love the slit back look.
-
Hopefully going for the turbo backed set myself as part of my quest to hit the 300bhp mark.
Quick question for you, when the cars on the ground, is any of the supporting bar visible that holds the tail pipe in place??
-
I think you need to rotate the rear section a little to straighten up the tips so they are perfect with the bumper as it looks to be sitting a tad angled.
Sorry, I'm a bit ocd like that!

Nah it's not, I've seen worse, thing is, it just makes it look like a cheap system that doesn't sit right!
-
I know what you mean because it's really bugging me as well! It's the last section I can't find out how to make it sit higher though.
I'm hoping someone with this fitted or @Powervalve Nige (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=331) can advise ....

I found out that just loosening the rear clamp wasn't enough, so I ended up loosening all the clamps and basically adjusting the whole system to sit better including the bolts holding the hanger bar at the exhaust, rotate until all is well and tighten everything up making sure nothing hits anywhere.
Easier with a second person holding it, but can be done with one person
-
Hmm might pop back to th garage tomorrow then and do just that. Guessing only like a 15 min job?
-
Yeah, not long
-
Do you still have your downpipe by any chance or did you get rid of it?
-
I just had to cut part of it to connect the new 3" pipe to it

So yesterday my car was booked in for a full days detailing session. Early prep work for Players Classic show I'm going to on June 11th @Goodwood, as will be in show and shine for the first time at an event. Long term friend of mine called Shine and Revive has done the detail for me, who has a long list of clients on a range of top quality cars. If you would like to see some of his other work, instagram username is shineandrevive. Based in West Midlands and is mobile.
The procedure was:
- Snow foamed, rinsed, washed, rinsed, clayed, washed, rinsed.
- Machine polished using G3 compound, followed by Bilt Hammer Cleanser Enhancing Polish
- Paint sealant applied next then finished off with Autoglym HD Wax
- All glass polished with Rainex applied to front and rear screens
- Wheels sealed with Very Berry by Autobrite
- Metal Polish on the new exhaust with Britemax
- Plastic trim exterior done with Perl, also used on tyres
- Interior done with Autoglym products
Here's the photos taken:

Long time since I updated this thread ... not really any pics to upload, so will try to recall whats happened since my last update!
- Forge short shift kit (side to side and front to back) fitted. What a difference it makes to the shifting! Also had the 42 draft designs and aks bushes but couldn't seem to fit the 42 draft design bushes in! So not used them and just left the aks ones out as well because it said you had to snap the old ones or something which I thought seemed dodgy af.
- New rear wheel bearings replaced as they were f*cked. Not sure if thats just a result of them being original parts since car was manufactured (now 9 years old) or if its because of the amount of camber I run.
- Superpro ALK purchased and ready to go on the car in January.
- The RAMAIR heatshield at the back of my engine bay severed one of the coolant pipes so had to replace the hose and cut a small curve out of the heatshield to stop it happening again. Real surprised that happened as its all fitted correctly. Not sure if anyone else has experienced a similar situation?
- Took the car to a rolling road. Producing 210.5bhp from the engine, 165bhp at the wheels. 209ft-lb of Torque.
Here is an image from my insta of the printout https://www.instagram.com/p/BMFCM91D4PD/
Pretty pleased with that, be interesting to see power gains when the BCS downpipe goes on in January.
Bigggg plans for start of 2017, all to be revealed before Ultimate Dubs in March!
Stay tuned guys
-
Got these three parts to fit end of this month!! Whiteline ALK, GFB DV+ and the main one I've used my Christmas bonus on ... BCS Downpipe to connect up with my Sports Catback Exhaust!

Some nice upgrades!

Looking good! :happy2:

Okay not sure what happened with my last comment but here we go again:
So finally got round to getting my BCS 3" Downpipe fitted this week, as well as getting the GFB DV+ fitted at the same time.
Really, really happy with the outcome!
First of all, the build quality on the Downpipe is very good, as is the whole exhaust system built by BCS to be honest.
The Downpipe has given it that extra noise I was looking for on boost, whilst giving it an added deep burble on idle / low revs.
I know everyone has their own preferences, but I like to be loud and this fits the bill for me.
The added power is also quite noticeable, be interested to see exactly how much power has been gained when I next take it on the rolling road.
Hard to get the full power down at the moment in these typical British conditions we are having as of late, especially when my tyres all round are borderline legal tread! Going to get some Avon ZV7's to stick on the Monza's and make the switch back over to my Show wheels in March in time for Ultimate Dubs.
Onto the GFB DV+ .... solid bit of kit! It's hard for me to know exactly how much of a difference it's making, due to fitting it at the same time as the Downpipe which is giving me more power, but I do feel like the throttle response is better. I'd definitely recommend to anyone thinking of getting this.
Few photos of the Downpipe fitted:

My mechanic didn't get time to fit the ALK, so going to postpone fitting that for the time being until I have something else to go on the car.
May hold off now until I decide to upgrade the wishbones to the S3 ones, or just until around Spring time.
Not sure what's going to be next on the car. Probably front brake upgrade, but not sure what route to go down atm with that as I'm going to be fairly tight with funds this year with two big holidays to pay for.
Also want to get the windows tinted in a shade lighter than 100% darkness, so it has a nice smoked effect. So maybe that will be next to be done.
-
Nice progress. As for the downpipe, when I got my full BCS fitted it gained me 20lb/ft and 15bhp on the existing Stage 1 map. Tweaked to Stage 2, the overall gains were 45lb/ft and 25bhp over Stage 1 with the standard exhaust.

Interesting, Nige reckoned it would gain about 25bhp without a map on it.
I am planning to go Stage 1 this year, probably with R-Tech, as I wanted to make sure I had the full system on first.
Guess we'll soon find out what gains are to be had pre-map! Regardless of gains, I'm well happy with the overall build, performance and noise it's now producing :smiley:

I am planning to go Stage 1 this year, probably with R-Tech, as I wanted to make sure I had the full system on first.
Guess we'll soon find out what gains are to be had pre-map! Regardless of gains, I'm well happy with the overall build, performance and noise it's now producing :smiley:
Most healthy k03 cars RR at a shade over 200bhp at R-Tech, so you'll be able to work out approximate pre-map gains from there. I'd say 25bhp without touching the ECU is a little optimistic, but I can't knock Nige for having faith in his products! It's a brilliant exhaust.
I'm on R-Tech too by the way. Highly recommended. You won't want a Stage 1 map with that exhaust though. Stage 1 is for standard cats/downpipes. You'll need Stage 2. In fact, I'd strongly recommend getting an uprated pump in first and going for 2+.

Is that all thats required for Stage 2? The upgraded fuel pump and full exhaust system?

Stage 2 is for cars with a bigger downpipe and decat/sports cat - minimum.
The '+' of 1+ or 2+ denotes an uprated fuel pump.

Couple in the rain from Ultimate DUBS last weekend:

Windows have now been tinted as well all round.
20% on the rears, 70% fronts which is basically a shade darker than standard factory tint now.
Gives it a nice smoked effect.
Bigggggg mod coming next on the car, which should hopefully be sorted next month. Watch this space XD

Soooo here's the big update ... I decided to bite the bullet and bagged the car on latest Airlift 3P Management System on Airlift Performance struts all round.
I wanted to keep the use of the boot so opted against a fancy boot build, and as you will see below, have gone with a fully submerged build instead.
All work has been done by Riiva Design in Market Harborough.
Also instead of going for the "tucked" look, which everyone seems to do now on Air, I've gone with the "lip to arch" look when it's aired out. Might change to a tucked look instead, as it would mean I can air out more and drive a bit lower on the fronts in particular.
Here are some (well .. a lot) of photos to show what it now looks like:

Gorgeous colour! Looks great bagged, any chance of going a little lower on the front to get the arch to the rim? :laugh:

Yeah there is, but I need to drop down a tyre size from 225 to 215.
I think I might just increase the neg camber though and tuck the fronts, keeping the rears arch to lip.

Love it mate, the car looks great :happy2:

Tuck on the front would look spot on! Cars like this aren't helping me keep mine standard haha.

This is the colour of gti i would love to have. Would be perfection if you had a ed30 front and rear valance and side skirts.
Really like this car mate. :happy2:

That's next on the agenda mate, but I need to save for them as they're still quite expensive to buy!

Looks great :happy2:

Yep and the valances will really make a difference as well once you get saved up.

Now I'm looking at getting SRSTEC wider arches though at £420 :thinking:
