Hi folks
I'm new to your forum but was recommnded by Jim at Awesome to take a look.
I previously owned the first APR Stage 3+ MK4 Golf done by Awesome which had a massive spec. :wink:
I've been using GTI's for years and was about when Tim Stiles Brian Rickett's to name but a few were about and had a famous little white 2 litre MK2 16 valve 3 door boasting 200bhp with 'everything' done which I regularly tracked against Bill Brockbank and Grant Woodhatch at the regular trackdays at Combe. :jumpmove:
I ran the MKIV at a few trackdays but was always aware of the issues surrounding B/T cars and reliabilty issues.
I have just bought a black 3 door manual Edition 30 having travelled all the way from Somerset to Leeds to get the deal I wanted. Car has Ipod prep centre arm rest and multi function steering wheel.
I've already planned for some mods starting with a re map and a WALK. I still have a stack of Dunlop Inters to use for track.
Brakes will be kept as they are for present although I have an eye on a Tarox kit....may just consider pads and some Motul RB600F for starters.
Will 'try' and keep it as stock as possible as I have been down the full on modded car route before....slippery slope that can be a huge financial drain! A few careful mods dependant on weaknesses I find on track will suffice but the chassis on the MK5 is leagues ahead of the MKIV. :happy2:

Correct me of I'm wrong but I thought the plaques were distributed by build date and not registered date. So this is possible. :happy2:

That car must of been made 6 months older then when it was Regestured, it would be nearly 3 years old give or take a month! :surprised:
That will be worth something come trade in im sure.

Sorry m8 no...never got time to put it on the dyno at Jim's....I'm sure it will get done sometime this year.
TBH it feels very strong and I'm sure it's knocking on the door of 300bhp. :happy2:

Interested to see how my ED30 compares...delivery is much punchier lower done in the rev range but not quite as strong at the top....having said that the MKIV was on 5 speed box and it pulled to 7700 :grin:
VWR were impressed with the APR Stage 1 and pump code but of course the zorst and stage 2 will be of benefit...maybe next year.
-
yeah ed30 hump is at 3krpm rather than 4krpm from your mk4 plot (although I suspect Phil wanted a mk5 one :wink:)
-
:congrats:
Thankyou but the wrong Mark of Golf!!

Gazbut S3 stated he would post this combination...I don't think alot of people have gone down this road ie APR Stage 1 Pump Code on stock exhaust as most change their exhausts.
I believe some chap elsewhere with an S3 went down this road all be it with Revo Stage 2 code on a stock exhaust...I believe JKM at Portsmouth did it.
Interested to get mine dyno'd at some stage to see what she's doing on the torque/power front. :wink:.

You won't regret it - I really loved mine - They are really going up in value now, so be quick

Here's my Awesom RR plot from when I had just had my Milltek and Revo Stage 1 done (the week after I got it :grin:)..
Figures aren't a million miles out on BHP or LBFT, so may be of use to ya Steve..
