-
Hello from yet another TDI owner :happy2:
-
Hello and welcome. Jeeeee if any more of you TDI owners join the name will have to change :laugh:
-
Welcome that's another diesel to add to this forum now :happy2:
car is looking great for modding :grin:

scott
-
get it mapped!!! :laugh:
-
Becoming quite common tdi's on here now :jumping:
Cars looking great, youve got similar mods that i want to do :happy2:
-
Cheers guys :smiley:
I havn't had it mapped...my previous car was a 1.7 astra with 80bhp and this is a 140bhp which I'm loving! So I don't really think I need any more power :happy2:
-
welcome :happy2:
I'd lower it, map it but leave the caliper painting and have it as a bit of a sleeper :laugh:
-
Same here would leave the calipers un-painted or paint them black or silver(not red) other than that welcome and enjoy, from a fellow devils juice owner :happy2:
Darren

I'v seen a few with red calipers and it looks cool :signLOL:
gazbutS3, I'm liking your S3 :drool:

Andy's got red calipers and his is a GT TDi..I personally like em

I think i'll do mine red for now and maybe get gti brakes in the future...
Would they go straight on and how much would they be you think?
-
Yes mate the GTI brakes fit straight on.
Obviously you'll need new discs,pads ect.
-
Has Lee said mate will fit straight on and unless you get the disc and pads and they are decent then you'll need new ones. Has for price range from around £100 to about £400.
Darren

That'l have to wait a while then..Headlights are my top priority :smiley:

Mate I can't get to my personal messages yet to reply, I think I need 20 posts or somethin but I'll wait a while thanks anyway :happy2:
-
No worries buddy :happy2:
I'll always offer to a fellow sooty owner first!
-
When I did my GTI brakes I just changed the carriers and discs then painted the original caliper red, was alot easier and ment I didn't have to bleed the brakes after.
The carriers I got second hand for £40 and the disc were new from tps for £80 pair. Not sure on pads as I had them already (but again they are the same as the gt tdi pads)

Lil update:

Next Mod - Milltek :laugh: Ordered today fitting 10th May! :jumpmove:
-
you will love the milly --are you putting the full system on!
-
Car looks really good! I painted my standard calipers with hammerite red and it works well, it's a good solution until you upgrade to 312mm setup whenever that may be. Worth keeping an eye on fleabay as your not in a rush they do pop up occasionally.
-
Another lil update, went and bought these earlier on:
GT sills
Front:

I'v only ordered the Non Res Milltek Cat-Back exhaust system and put an order in for the GTI rear valance, no downpipe tho. I was thinking of buying the resonated system but the guy at Awesome convinced me to get the Non Res :smiley:
I hope it isn't too loud as mine is a diesel :signLOL:

Yeah that's what i'm hoping to do till I have the funds for bigger brakes :evilgrin:
-
i have the non res on mine--when your cruising down the motor way you can't hear it but when you push that peddle its so addictive :evilgrin:

Car is looking good. Where did you get your GT steering wheel insert from? Have seen a few on ebay but didn't really want to fork out £25 plus postage! Would like to hear what your soot chucker sounds like with the milltek...i'm toying with the idea but supposed to be saving :innocent:

Looks much better now but I dunno if it's just me but I havn't noticed any sound improvement :confused: is that because I havn't got it mapped?
Any comments welcome

you need to get the front pipe as well..it makes a lot of difference

I hope you don't mind me asking, how much did the exhaust cost mate? :smiley:
-
I hope you don't mind me asking, how much did the exhaust cost mate? :smiley:
Had a look at invoice and as I had the downpipe fitted two months later after the cat back was fitted there's labour costs for both days
So the total I paid for all this fitted -
Milltek downpipe + non res cat back + gti rear valance + powerflex lower mount insert = £817
:happy2:
-
Some very nice mods....like it :happy2:
Milltek sounds surprisingly good, never heard a derv before with an aftermarket exhaust.

Plans sound good plans so far. Nice upgrade on the steering wheel. Currently looking for a Mk5 GTi one if anybody's selling...? :wink:
Just ordered my GTi rear lower valance which will get half-painted soon soon. Going for a custom made stainless exhaust tho. Tis cheaper and with endless possibilities. :smiley:
Just to re-inforce the fact that CH's are so suited to the Mk5 here's a few more pics. No fitted pics yet as my Eibach sportlines aren't getting fitted for a week or two:

Thanks mate, I've had mine on for four months they are fine. Just make sure you don't get budget tyres as they are S@!T.

I am toying with the idea of CH reps instead of paying out £300+ on refurbing my Zeniths, do you mind if I ask where you got yours and how much they set back?
I would be swapping my current tyres over, Hankook Evo V12's front and Kumho KU31's on the rear. :happy2:

Loving the car pal. Good work. Did you fit the inner rear arches when you changed the rear to gti? You got a gap? Does it cause a problem at speed?
Thanks

Thanks mate :happy2:
I only got the gti rear bumper fitted, didn't need to fit any additional parts.
-
cheers for that mate, but i don't understand, do you have a gap now between the valance and the arch liner? The GTi valance is wider so i'd expect a gap?
Thanks
-
Daz yes you'll have a gap but it doesn't cause issues :happy2:
Darren

There is but its hardly noticeable and won't cause you any problems

Daz yes you'll have a gap but it doesn't cause issues :happy2:
Darren

Thanks

Nope, fairly easy, you will have to give it a pull to get the clips out and I think with the GTI bumper its only 2 screws rather than 4. Someone will correct me if am wrong :happy2:

Hi
Is the steering wheel a straight swap or does it need coding?
Do the buttons work with the stereo?
I'm also in Hudds - who can fit 1 local?
cheers

Depends which steering module you have. Yes the buttons work with the stereo, Darren is the man from Leeds who fitted the steering wheel and coded it to work.
