Title: Matts Mk5 gti Nurburgring /daily /track car
Post by: M77MWW on April 12, 2019, 06:16:11 am
OK I've had a few gtis now but this is the best by far!!! Some may have seen my old Megane Rs250 but that made way to free up some cash for house stuff (boring I know) however for the money I wanted to spend no car for me cones close to a mk5 gti. This particular car I've known for many years as its been my pals for the last 10 years or so but with him needing a bigger car and it only covering 25 miles per week for the last couple of years he's allowed me to buy it and continue it's journey.

Rough spec

K04 stage2 + (believe this was the 1st k04 converted car mapped by rtec)
TTRS brakes
Genuine BBS CH 18x8.5 et35
Mk6 wheel
Mk6 climate control
Bilstien B14s
RNS
Retro fitted xenons
R32 rear with BCS exhaust
Plus a lot more (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190412/62b52ca42b336ad56165153b2447e87c.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190412/d4e7cc0198a2acfc1e9d272ceb366014.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190412/af685222aade382aacc70ae8a94ba4a6.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190412/c82b5b1a02f4d9048771ef303b11504a.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190412/e38d699722964a1f0a4db6b73dd13697.jpg)

 I thought as soon as I saw the username. “Red megane RS250”

I presume that car was owned by someone on here?

I think a good option for these is using a stick on number plate on a smoothed front where the plinth usually goes.

Lovely car!
What's the build number plaque in the center console? Is it a limited edition model or is it a plaque just made up for it? :)


How do you find the B14s? I've B12s on ours and fine on smooth roads but very harsh on backroads and then rolls and rubs abit on track so thinking of just switching to coilovers

It's a normal gti I just believe the previous owner though it would be a nice touch which I kinda like. I'll be honest the b14s are alright but again can be a little harsh

Good choice on the BC coilovers, that's what i'm running. Great off the shelf budget coilover. I went for the S3 Alloy hubs when doing mine too. I'd like to do the alloy arms but want some with no/sh*t bushes so i can go polybush!

Good progress matey.

Post by: DaveMsport on June 22, 2019, 11:08:26 am
I've got R32 rear brakes on mine too. Have standard front hubs still but witj alloy arms with polybushes and adjustable roll centers.

Let us know how you find the BCs on the GTI in comparison to what you've had. I've got them on my E46 M3 and they're a brilliant all-rounder to be fair!

Unfortunately oil pump failure has killed the mk5 I weighed up the cost of fixing vs breaking and moving on and it just wasn't feasible to get her running again so unfortunately she's being broken. However I have put a deposit on this and I'm hoping to collect Sunday

That has some great mods on it. I bet that exhaust sounds gorgeous.

Are you selling any interesting parts off the mk5?

Sorry to hear about the mk5 - looked a great car. Your new mk7 has a great spec - am sure you will enjoy it! Could you let me know the price for the front bumper & ED30 splitter? Could be interested depending on condition...

Pretty sure they do the same sort of thing out at Mallala too. I have done a few on my bikes back in the day but never a track day in a car.
