Yeap. I guess the BCS name of the brand was replaced by the more appealing Powervalve name.

I'll grab the link for you. Steering wheel works fine with a CH controller illumination doesn't work sadly. But hopefully there will be a solution.

Unfortunately the brakes need to go back due to some damage.  :sad1:

Some due to carriage, a couple look due to soft paint.

Yes. ALK has made a huge difference to front end confidence. Turn in is improved, traction appears higher. Not sure if some at this stage is placebo, and just from having nice fresh bushes. But I like it.

Hi buddy just a quick question if you dont mind....


The downpipe you've ordered off ebay, I notice it says item location 'Leicestershire' which is where i'm from but, it's showing signs on the listing that It could be actually from china or somewhere. How long did it take to arrive?

Downpipe took a few days. Steering wheel and gear knob were from eBay. Steering wheel Italy, gear knob Mexico.

Fitted my LOBA a couple of days ago. Such a good price from TSR on their Xmas offer I couldn't turn it down. Just waiting for a replacement intercooler from Ramair, then I'll be getting my clutch uprated, as well as RFD and inlets cleaned. Will then be ready for Stage 2+.

Got it from eBay, but they aren't expensive directly from TPS. I'm still waiting on the 2 rear bolts for it from TPS. Been on order for 9 days now. :(

The LOBA does make the car feel stronger but could be placebo.

Lol. Rocco went around May. Left my job at the bank, went self employed running a detailing/vinyl wrapping company. And moonlight it with sub contracting in the vinyl/sign fitting trade.

If it got ditched I'd probably end up with a welly cooler. But just don't know. I'd like to give it chance and I just want a nice strong reliable car. I'm not chasing records.

Yes. It's immense. Shame it's rained since I left R-Tech.

In all fairness, the stage 1 map wasn't suited for all my stage 2+ mods.

Smooooth. Keep seeing these torque curves that Niki manages. Can't wait to get him doing a bit of Stage 2 on mine

Great results, again.

Great car and some awesome numbers fella!!  :notworthy:

Had a quick skip through your thread..........which clutch/flywheel combo did you go for, holding that torque well is it?

Had my Organic Helix (with OEM DMF) mapped by Niki a few years ago to 420ft lb but that was at the edge of its ability and was bought back to 370.

Looks like the same one for €184, that sound about right to you? Is it a simple plug and play switch over from standard?

Nope. It's definitely not plug and play. You have to swap the lower frames over, cut a couple of inches from your original gear knob.

Without better brakes you won't enjoy the track day as I you want to. They'll fade eventually and you'll have to drive slower until they cool down enough. :sad1:

Fitting bolt on brakes isn't that hard but you'd still need to bed in the pads before going to the track, I think. :confused:

Find time to do your brakes or you may as well not bother going on your trackday from my experiences.

Brakes are the no1 factor on the track day that fail / cause lack of enjoyment.
takes a couple of hours to fit i'm sure you can find the time...  :happy2:

It is plug and play .  :happy2:

i was one of the first to fit a mk7 gearknob back in 2014  :happy2:
drill into the gearknob from the bottom up . can't remember the size bit you need.. whatever the size of the shifter shaft was (easy to find with ring spanner)
simply remove stock one. unstaple mk7 leather from mk7 base
restaple mk7 leather onto mk5/6 base or use araldite just make sure you have got the leather pulled nicely.
drill up through gearknob enough to get the shifter in the correct position
tighten up clip and secure the base  :happy2: :happy2:
saves ruining your oem components which are more fiddly to change  :pomppomp:

You dont need to cut your old shaft. I suggested already. Drill into the bottom of new gearknob :-)

Post by: Deako on February 10, 2016, 12:37:43 pm
Ahh. Yes, guess you could do that. But you don't end up with a squared edge so there is a possibility of the knob rotating. There is a flat edge inside to stop that happening, so cutting down the shaft and grinding one side flat is preferable.
Title: Re: Deako's Edition 30 - #1493 - Stage 2+ - Cash Haemorrhage
Post by: xjay1337 on February 10, 2016, 02:11:42 pm
Never had an issue with the knob rotating as long as the clip is done up properly. :happy2: :happy2:

 in order to help my friend fit his one, i took mine off , and wasn't able to tighten the clip up properly using the pliars i had, so does rotate with a bit of pressure now. but was fine before i touched it again . once tightend up it will be fine :signLOL: :signLOL:

just another way of doing it if you want to be able to return the car to standard easily.

The new brakes will look awesome with the rest of the car. You can also think in the future of fitting the R32/S3 rear brakes to balance the braking power. Ordering TRW new parts from ebay or online stores isn't that expensive. :smiley:

I did have a full setup of VWR 6pot fronts and S3 rears. All refurbished by BCR with 2 piece discs. But sold it all to @M4T VW (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=5017)

That's true, forgot about those. It would have been an awesome setup, at the same level of the rest of the car. The GTI Performance brakes will be good for fast road driving. :smiley:

Didnt you have r32 brakes before. I remember cos you wanted ridiculous money for them.
They're the same as the pp brakes so wondering why you've downgraded from 6 pots lol.

Can never have too much brake.

Hi pal. I may be interested in your seats. As a new member I don't seem to be able to post in the for sale section so apologies for posting here. Are they still available and would they fit straight into mk5 gti? Thanks

Been looking at getting these seats myself, how do you find them? And how come you decided to downgrade the brakes?

In all fairness I was thinking of selling the car and emigrating.

Seats are great VFM.

Haha. Yes. But realistically I actually need another diesel. Like a Caddy Kombi or something for work.

I cover more mileage than I should be.
