Hi
this is my first post here, I brought golf mk5 gti last year which was standard, I was going to keep it standard however got a bit bored to started to change a few bits. the first thing I did was give it a full respray to white, then I put it on some BBS CH. however after it started to look nice my house got broken into and they stole 3 of our cars and crashed my golf.
I have just launched a new Business in Northampton so decided to go all the way to try and make it one of the best mk5s out there, parts that have now been purchased are as follows

Engine & other

I am not a fan of the look of the car, it's a bit to fast and furious for me. But thats just my personal taste. You cant deny their is some quality parts and work going into this car. :drinking:
-
i might change the front end im not sure yet, its just got a oettinger r32 kit on it with carbon bit and auri drl's put in the front bumper, open to suggestions thou if any1 has any ideas
-
Manifold looks very similar to bsh woa manifold? Have i missed what turbo it is running? Like those fixings, impressed. Stevie.

never really looked at that properly tbh we have desinged it outselfs ( be ablot cheaper that a bsh one thou ) . its a GT28 76R
-
Looks good. Wastegate looks huge compared to my 38mm mvs! Will phone you and see how much cheaper. I need the 76r turbo. Stevie.
-
Wow loving the build, some real hard work gone in there, specially like the white suspension parts :notworthy: That intake looks quite restrictive though? Do you have any figures for what power it's making at the minute?
-
Where did you get the carbon engine cover??.
-
we havent had any issues with the air intake however we are going to design it to have another pipe to the air box as we are going to forge it next and go for big power. Its running 320 at the minute on a base map and going to take it up to 360 its going to wayne schofield on friday so should be finished next week
-
Looking really good :happy2:
-
exterior is extremly halfords but much love for performance mods ! well done
-
What power are you hoping to achieve once the forged internals are onboard?
-
Hi
this is how the car looks at the minute ( apart from the front end is carbon and de badged) the car is going to be painted in January so any sujjestions are welcome. its going to have a carbon roof hopefully and im thinking these wheels http://wheelsworldwide.co.uk/wheels/rotiform/blq/black or go with some splits and have the centers baby blue as thats what colour the brakes are going to be. the arches are going to be rolled aswell
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fuu171%2Fdalewhite_2009%2F051.jpg&hash=477ad7850ee234a68c13c9ce1805c53532646ce4)
-
It needs to be slammed if your putting rotiforms on imo :happy2:
-
As per your other thread, 'suggestions welcome' as to your new look,
the colour of the car is a big starting point as to the overall look of the car, but for me firstly I would remove the front bumper and go back to standard with an Ed30 lip or Votex as its a bit ott IMHO, sideskirts possibly some gti ones? carbon roof is cool, the Rotis have been about a bit on 'show' cars, so if you want something to stand out they wouldn’t be the wheel of choice, the splits sound great especially in the blue, and I would also wind the coilovers down another 40 - 50mm at least as well.
Hope you don’t mind my comments, like i say these are purely my opinion
as for the engineering in your build, looks awesome, love the turbo kit :happy2:
-
ye i understand what you are saying but few issues, firstly the coilovers, they are tein and all balanced and been set up but think we will slam it for the shows and the bumper we neeed one which lets alot of air in as we run oil coolver on the passenger side and the intercooler has been made around the bumper.
any suggestions on splits???
-
This is my own opinion the car does look good but has per the forum we are more for OEM+ on here so the more standard looking the better :happy2:
But colour choice Ive not seen the new Audi brown that the new RS6 comes in? also what about the new Bentley cranberry colour :drool: some really good VAG colours out there at the moment.

not been on here for a while but got the car back now from mapping at it made 387bhp and 335lb of torque, we only wanted 350bhp so happy with that, we are now going to put the battery in the boot and then design a new catch tank system. We tested the car once it had done 2000 miles and everything is fine we also smoke tested it and no leaks so we know the wiggins are holding up well and no issues with the manifold. Next the car is going to have a gti bumper put on with a votex and either works vs xx or rial daytonas ( was thinking baby blue centers with a white or polished lip) and have the calipers painted to match the wheels along with a respray ready for the summer.
or we might just forge it and deisgn a new manifold which has the turbo sitting where the battery is and go for 500bhp depends how bord of it we get
-
small update................... the car is going to be painted next week going with a standard bumper with votex splitter and some rial daytona alloys.
last night we started stripping the car for paint aind thought we might aswell take the engine out as it need another 100bhp.
so the engine is out and we are going to forge it with and port the head and also put a uprated clutch and lsd in it. Pictures to follow
