Title: Davv's GTI (Russian project)
Post by: davv on January 14, 2010, 09:50:45 pm
hi all from f**ng freezing Moscow!!
this is my car
an ordinary GTI with DSG. All the mods that i've done changing pads from stock to Ferodo DS2500. (stock pads died on rack days)
also i didn't like stock exhaust pipes so i've changed them (the pipes were wider and stock pipes were cut till muffler and the sound has changed :grin:)
also lips and sideskirts were painted in candy white (TBH i don't understand styling with black lips and sideskirts...)
To the next summer i've requested few additional mods: Michelin pilot sport cup tires, custom downpipe (http://www.u-power.ru/index.php?id=12&lang_id=1, Russian exhaust company), Russian forged wheels (in Russia is based very nice wheels producer , i like AG-2 design: http://agforged.ru/index.php?id=375, they are very light, 7,8 kg aprox) , goodridge ss lines and motul rbf 600 brake fluid. Thats all. Offcourse i'd install 332x32 mm 4 piston brakes, but i don't want to spend all my money on car :innocent: they are quite cheap, 1100 pounds but anyway, BTW here is a link to Russian gti forum where one our friend has installed such brake kit: http://www.gti-club.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=5136. Americans made a test of this brakes and were sutisfied (the brakes are almost copy of AP RAcing :grin:, but firstly they were designed to russian civic racing challange, so they really work)
so here are pics of my ride

here are more pics and vid of my track running :smiley:



This was only second of my track days ever)) so I've made a lot of mistakes, especially after 1:32...
but in next season I'll try to improve myself. But in Russia we have only few tracks and nearby Moscow only 1. I suppose you don't have such a problem :happy2:

pics you can see here: http://picasaweb.google.com/DavidKhund/OpenRace290809#

well it's time to update info about my car))
1) i'll start with discs& they are 7.3 kg 17*8 AGForged (Russian company, agforged.ru) in dark grey matte with red stripe) not bad imo
2) eibach pro-kit springs
3) federal 595 rsr 235/45/17


I should say, that the driving is much enjoyable. springs are stiffer and tauter. Wheels are lighter and cornering  is much easier :laugh:
And car looks really better with this wheels, i imagine how it will look whith good 4pot brake calipers :drool:

Also i have tested tires at Moscow ring "Myachkovo" 3 weeks ago, and they are much better than ventus r-s2!!! but for few laps^ compund is 140.

Those rims look excellent Davv  :happy2:
I bet they're lovely on a track day.

another good news from Russia is that GTI russian club has organized RHHCC (Russian Hot Hatch Club Championship; rhhcc.ru). there are only 2 tracks here, and we will compete twice on each on this summer. :happy2:
at the moment we had 1 race at Russian ring Miachkovo. Our club is forth, third - Redliners (Honda), second - OPC, first - MPS mszda. But we were not so lucky, as you can see on images my race was after strong shower :sad1:
but i think in the end we could stay at least 3rd or 2nd :laugh:
whish us good luck :pomppomp:

 :signLOL: The 'collective-farm' thing is a giggle.

My preference is that they're not for any car, but over in Russia they might be very popular.

I like the red GTI decal in the GT3 style. Never seen that before on a GTI so you might have exclusivity there? Again, I'm not a shouter with mods, I like to leave people guessing a little bit, I like subtlety but good effort imo  :drinking:

Post by: davv on May 15, 2010, 07:22:05 pm
some plans:
1) i want to install bbk made by PROMA (russian manufacture)
actually it is copy from APracing :grin: :grin:
But USA tests show that they are very good& Maby not so as APs but anyway it costs only 1000 pounds
specs: 332*30mm 2-piece brake discs, 4pot calipers and ferodo pads

As you have noticed almost all parts are made in Russia (brakes, exhaust, wheels) so i call it GTI Russian project  :signLOL:
its interesting to tune it by custom companies. it brings a bit of individualism though :smiley:

2) Custom catback (at the start), from Russian exhaust company
i want it look like on this photoshop  :happy2: :happy2:

3) GIAC or REVO remaps for ECU and DSG (Who can advice what to chose?? i know that GIAC is tuning ECU individuall for car. And i think it is ver good. The aren't 2 identically engins, as we know)....

4) Intake, DP, ns fuel pump :grin:

:signLOL: The 'collective-farm' thing is a giggle.

My preference is that they're not for any car, but over in Russia they might be very popular.

I like the red GTI decal in the GT3 style. Never seen that before on a GTI so you might have exclusivity there? Again, I'm not a shouter with mods, I like to leave people guessing a little bit, I like subtlety but good effort imo  :drinking:

well they are not popular in Russia, thats why i have requested them from Germany:):)

about decals: yea, they are exlusive :smiley: :smiley: but one Octavia RS will copy it :booty:, but anyway it is not GTI :grin:

thanks :drinking:

That's a bit of automotive porn you've added further up there dude. GTR, R8 & GT3  :drool:

I like the side decal actually, its nice to take an OEM Porsche theme and apply it so nicely  :happy2:
Good effort   :evilgrin:
