Firstly id like to thank mark for his exceptional up keep of the car,it is truly stunning inside and out :drool:
Id come to the decision of not spending big money on the cupra with a new hybrid or nortech turbo to still have the issue of traction so made my mind up of putting a feeler out for the cupra up for sale,well blow me it sold within a day lol,so a quick few calls to mark with the golf then sorting out the cupra to be sold a deal was made and the following sunday made the trip and stayed over to see/purchase the golf
Just looking at it in the dark i was sold :laugh:,a good inspection inside and out from my friend and myself then a test drive i made the decision there and then ill take it,done the deal on monday and drove it home :innocent:
For other health rerasons the swap over to the golf was a bonus,dcc suspension where theres 3 modes i can use comfort/normal/sport and another for the dsg/semi auto box,win win for me all round :happy2: never mind the 4wd and sport mode for the dsg :surprised:
Anyways the spec of the golf R
Xenon headlights
LED rear lights
DSG semi automatic gearbox
Auto headlights
Rain sensitive wipers
Cloth interior
Cruise control
RNS510 Sat Nav
Dynaudio Speaker System
Factory Bluetooth phone connection with voice control
Electric folding door mirrors with puddle lights
Auto dim mirror
Auto wing mirror Reverse tilt
DCC with Sport, Normal & Comfort ride settings
Front & rear parking sensors with optical display
19" Black Talladega Alloy Wheels
Heko wind deflectors
theres maybe more of the spec im not sure off
Performance Modifications:
Full Milltek Turbo back non res exhaust with black tips
ITG Enclosed intake system (similar to the VWR version)
Revo Stage 2 software
Future plans in a few months:
Full interior and number plate white leds
new wipers all round
new divertor valve
NGK 7 plugs
R8 red coilpacks
As a few people know me the cars gotta be spot on and these few subtle mods will just make the car that little bit more perfect
Only had a few pics of the car in the dark as its peed down and snowed since so its filthy lol but will update with new pics shortly

I think the mk6 looks much better in lighter colours. Candy White, Silver Reflex and Blue Thunder (just love this colour for any R).
Good luck and happy modding! :drinking:

Glad it went to somebody on here that'll appreciate it
Think an audi tts engine cover would finish off that engine bay nicely, also how come your oil cap sits off centre? Got one on my car and it lines up like the original one, wasn't aware they needed modding or that mine had been modded :confused:

i did think tts cover but once all cleaned up with R8 coils,catch can etc would be a shame to cover it up
weird thing about my oil cap,its always sat like that???

As you know i took the car down to Aks tuning as Alex has maintained my cars for some time now for a full health check
nothing really to report apart from it veering to the left slightly but ill get that done when the suspension gets changed:afro:
So new ngk 7's,R8 coilpacks and new rev G dv

then onto the new Loba hpfp ready for my stage 2+ file
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fk1cupra%2FGolf_R%2FP1040939_zpsb17d62af.jpg&hash=f0f15a76fea14f45f757e132edee17a2abbbf632)
didnt get chance to have my custon catch can fitted as alex never had the charcoal can delete file from revo,42DD plate,forge boost tap,custom can and sfs hoses

Now onto to the best part Revo stage 2+ file flashed over and the Revo DSG stage 2 file flashed on:cheesy:
Ran the vcds for any scans and its all sweet:afro:
Then bloody hell stick it in manual and this thing just pulls and pulls into triple figures,it was just hold on like,the power and torque increase is amazing,i think its got a hard cut limiter on just after 7200 rpm as it sounded nice when i never changed up lol pop pop pop,also not tried launch control yet :cheesy:
Had some great feedback from @vRSAlex (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1981) also on saying how effing quick the car is now:wink:
really really pleased now so that will be it for a while until i get get my other goodies out of the shed for fitting:cool:

Quick question - why did you swap from the ITG to Revo? I know intakes are always are a matter of taste - was the ITG too loud?

Winter protection package starts with having all arches cleaned and power washed followed by the alloys cleaned, we then rinse the vehicle to remove loose debris and the vehicle is then snow foamed and left for 10 min to soften the dirt and a soft detailing brush is then used to clean the intricate areas.
After this The vehicle is pressure washed once again.
Snow foam is then added and the vehicle is washed using the 2 bucket method with grit guards.
The vehicle is then dried with plush microfibre towels and the decontamination process begins.
First the tar spots are removed and a iron remover is applied to deionise the paintwork.
The paintwork and glass are then Clayed to remove any bonded contamination.
All painted surfaces are polished and and cleansed to ensure a proper bonding surface.
1 coat of nano paint sealant is applied (extra coats can be added at an additional cost.)
A nano wheel sealant is applied to the alloys and a good quality rain repellant to the front and side windows.
Finally the tyres are dressed and the door shuts are cleaned.
Prices for our mobile car winter protection package start from £65, contact us for more details or quotes.

Not sure if I'm stupid or confused but is it you that cleans cars or did you copy and paste from somewhere?I have the same question but reading that toosmiles took his Golf to a local detailer, I'd guess that it's a copy/paste text explaining the procedure.

Nice car mate! Me and a mate fitted a Peron IC to my R last week, worth reading a few guides first as its a bit of a task! if you've got access to a ramp it will probably be a lot easier than on a trolly jack and axel stands. Also make sure you use the green o-ring off of the existing pipe with the new ally coupler otherwise it will leak boost (found out the hard way :surprised:)cheers for the advice m8 ;)

The badges are excellent, bit of .:R inspiration there!
Matches the pikey paddles more or less :evilgrin:

The Oz look tidy, have you found any OEM look VW centre caps to fit them? If you do, you might be on to something there... :happy2: Not seen it done yet, from memory @toosmiles (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=8438)Cheers,just something from the norm lol

I've actually seen some vw caps but there more like the stick on badge I think? Will look into it though even though the oz caps are carbon to blend in with the other bits ;)

i was suprised on how resrictive the miltek was after a good chat with the owner,the downpipe even,3" down to 2.75 down to 2" at the back:undecided:
anyhows im running a 90mm de cat and true 3" straight through with hardly any bends or restictions adding for the best flow possible with titanium tips :evilgrin: oh and the miltek which is a great bit of kit has been sold :laugh:

fitted the China copies of the cts pipes,throttle side no probs but turbo side where it mounts to the engine we had to use washers to space it out so it wasn't fouling the belt or water pipes,all back together and noticed the Peron turbo silicone pipe was to long and was causing a kink,so popped it off and trimmed it down now all sweet,car feels so much more free revving and power to the limiter,throttle response increased also so all good tbh,I'll have the revo settings tweaked when I'm over at aks tuning in june,also done my first launch,WOW.... :driver:

Cts silicone pipe removed and shaved for better fitment
Revo intake removed and had the heatshield cut down to fit over the coolant hose as it was actually fouling it

only a few bits n bobs done on the car,im not really 'feeling' the car atm???
since upgrading the mounts(which is probably why lol) the car doesnt seem to be as quick if you know what i mean??maybe its the cars not lurching forward when booting now cos its all stiffened maybe,also it seems like it drones now in acceleration,doesnt sound as nice when moving? maybe cos off these mounts again but seems fine from the outside lol
alex noticed that the peron fmic isnt sitting flush aswell,its on an angle and the throttle pipe is touching the fan shroud ;( and the bumper needs trimming so its getting booked in for another days work in october to sort this,intake manifold removed and stems cleaned then fitting RFD,then depending time wise the rear brakes will be upgraded with new brackets to run the larger discs,pads and Hel braided lines then a system flush with Ate super blue fluid
anyways sorry for the moaning lol,picked up a few bits n pieces over the past few weeks so gave it a go fitting etc
Newsouth boost gauge that matches the 'R' clocks and an Osir gauge holder vent

now hows that for jammy lol,took a couple of attempts and a few zip ties to hold it on but manged to do it eventually so over the moon,new nipple onto the forge boost tap then fed under the dash and up the side panel near the drivers side fuse box into vent ;)

They really do make a difference, especially considering the OEM discs are roughly the same weight ( iirc the AP discs and bells are a kilo lighter) and the OEM calipers are 10kg each!

Brakes looking good mate! Couldn't believe the weight of the standard calipers and discs when I took mine offthanks m8,its all about weight saving on these :wink:
im just hoping theres enough clearance for the superpro adjustable ball joints once there on :evilgrin:

Aston calipers 3.5kg Oem calipers 7.5kg saving 3.9kg
AP 362mm discs 9.2kg Oem 330mm discs 11.8kg saving 2.6kg
pads were the same,so a total of 6.5kg per side,not bad :jumpmove:

original steel hubs off and weighed are 8.8kg's so i saved 1.7kg's per side,nothing major but with the brake upgrade weight savings a total saving of 8.2 kgs per side on the front and savings on the walk kit and superpro arms it was well worth it
ill weigh the arms and walk for future reference later

after a long day at Aks Tuning in bedford on friday the work was finished about 10 pm lol
we had a plan to do the work with me taking down my tyrol deadset kit and Hpa mount to fit if we have time,Alex spoke to me first thing and thought he'd be better off to fit the kit and mount first as it'll need a new alignment doing so he cracked on with that,back from the alignment back to normal after my other hub changes etc

now point and power with the steering again,nice and light,shifts seem and bit 'tighter' also after,the Hpa mount id admit a bit more cabin vibration but hopefully it'll settle in time

lastly the Ttrs lpfp fitted and vcds checked and all is well again ;)
Loving how the car now feels,the throttle is very responsive and was like driving it for the first time trying to get the pedal right lol
the only thing i was expecting was a nice burble and popping when letting off the accelerator which the rfd delete usually gives,wasnt happening on mine :( maybe it wasnt in the revo map as theyve not had a map for the rfd cold start issues like i had on the cupra's Apr map,the cupra sounded awesome

next job fitting the Bold Sport 3d door warning lights of a member on the mk5gti forum,luckily i enabled these with vcds when i had my battery problems
there just 3 bolts holding this on and some bloody strong clips lol i didnt remove the door card completely,just left the door lock installed,removed the window switch plug and left it sit on my mat as i could get at the door controller module easy enough,popped off the controller cap and added the live to number 18 and ground to number 19,this kit had pins on ready to push straight into the block

Friday morning..mot passed with no advisaries then insurance sorted for another year with Sky insurance,i did call round but none could match the price
Actually took a gamble on the weekend with the weather to have some other bits sorted/fitted to the car,thanks to Andrew,i bought the boldsport city light kit of him and thought id give it a go but wanted them running with the drls so there on all the time,as we know the wiring and bulbs are actually in the headlight ready but not actually wired up to work so with this yellow 'repair' wire i studied a few write ups and plugged it into number 10 on the headlight block then ran a wire under the headlight down to the drl which i was hoping to get to by taking the inner arch lining off and accessing from there but the washer bottle is in the way for access(drivers side) so a quick jack up and whipped the front bumper off instead lol

going down to devils own owner Bruce's place on saturday to have the progressive kit fitted(dv30) i think,twin nozzle and 4 quart tank in the boot,controller in the glove box for fine tuning ;)
whipped out my revo filter guard so i could wrap the bottom on some heat tape i had left over,fitted some stickers to the boring dash buttons then service done in june so its ready for some more power now the cars ready built to handle it :evilgrin:
Post by: toosmiles on May 01, 2016, 11:43:24 pm
i decided to go for a progressive kit in the end(dv-30) which is more suitable for my needs and adjustable for any tuning in the future,also i had the solenoid upgrade and a second nozzle that they tapped into my throttle pipe with the other into my Aks tuning throttle plate.
only very fine modifications done for fitting these ports,the aks plate needed a part of the bracket above skimming down slighlty and the motor next to it,all leading to a nice clean install in the engine bay
next was mounting in the boot similar to Paul hulmes set up,pump in the small well where the usual safety equipment goes and the 4 quart tank again like pauls tie wrapped to the stiff carpet(not install into the body in case of any rust issues later arising)wiith the low level and lines on the inner to save the misses knocking it lol
overall done in super quick time as they both got on with the install and finished perfectly

Lastly a good friend made me keep my carbon fins/flaps that i was gonna send back after trial fitting to my original diffuser so thought it was a nice day lets whip the bumper off to make it a bit easier to install and make sure of a near perfect fitting

Very nice mate...how long does the tank of methonal last?or it's still to early to say?cheers Dan :happy2:
i think it needs fine tuning tbh,maybe when ive got a custom map on it,low revs it doesnt really spray,its set at i think 8 psi and max 15 psi which i think is low but im on a low boost map,used a quarter of a tank in 60 miles but thats mostly motorway speeds :evilgrin:

sorted the next day though and had a crack at the new Hel lines on the rear to find there the wrong bloody fitments grrr.
fair dooze to Hel though,called them straight away and they sent the right fixtures over on a 24hr delivery to find then it pee'd down since so not fitted them yet
had my new windscreen fitted at last to find the scuttle panel has a crack in it and a few scuffs so ill need another to be perfect :(
had a play around with my front grill also,made a few more airflow holes then decided to cut it away altogether haha,then installed my new red background 'R' badge to see if i like it or now then stuck some leftover carbon vinyl on the back of the VW badge
had a go at wrapping the 'R' after about 3 attemps i was happy with it

One of the best OEM+ engine bays that I've seen! :congrats:cheers m8 appreciate it :happy2:
Finally got round to fitting the rear Hel braided lines
heads up on these really,bought direct from Hel as stated on there website and speaking through email and calls these were the right kit until i removed everything to find that the bolt caliper end was too small and the wrong thread :(
another call back on the friday and spoke with the owner who knew exactly what the kit i needed and sent me them gauranteed next day for the saturday morning,larger bolt and the right thread and also an inch longer,all sorted

This is my rear brake line. If I remember well, my mechanic had to do some work to it so it'd fit correctly:

id presume they still do the same job?
ive had no problems with them
Post by: Shoduchi on August 29, 2016, 11:32:17 am
cant understand why Hel were adamant they fit,the first kit didnt fit as the bolt was the wrong thread and too small so they sent out the correct hoses free of charge next day which are now fitted perfectlyI'm no mechanic but those hoses eliminate the caliper hard pipe and should do the job well too. :smiley:

Ill go custom R-tech map and run there full pcv delete as my partial charcoal can/catch can install isnt fully removed,then still getting parts together for a turbo build
A good friend installed some nice Corbeau Rss seats for me this last few days also,needed to go reclining with being a 3dr,i dont want to make the car unusable so people cant get in the back,even if no-one really sits in them anyway lol
my main reason i wanted to change is for the weight saving,ive got 5.5kgs per side off,11kgs overall so im happy with that,quite comfy and loads of support :)

How does it compare to a tuned Evo now the comparison is a bit fairer? :-)

So...bit more bhp than my evo had so id say a bit more top end speed where niki has put the power,low down torque capped also
