Really like the look of that. Makes me want to get my US rear bumper sorted too haha.
-
Cheers pal , not the best looking car but its a good wee toy , us spec bumper definatly cleans up the back end altho even just getting the standard one painted makes a big diffrence !
-
Looking really smart mate
What have you lowered it on?
-
Weitec mate , was going 2 change 2 blisten soon tho , they are good just want something a bit better tho .
-
Was a bit sceptical about TD's on golfs but this has changed my mind! :congrats:
-

-

-
:happy2: not usually a big fan of silver but this looks dapper! tasteful mods, clean and tidy, and stage 3 :evilgrin:

Im running yokohama prada spec 2s all round ... the rain is no fun , infact even driving slowly is still a scary exsperience when you hit standing water haha

i have the rears all the way down , and the adjusters out but the front still has a good bit further to go . I had them all the way down at 1st however the sump was taking a bit of a scraping after a few journeys and the arches were none to happy either :laugh:
Thanks for all the nice comments :happy2:
-
I think I'd have to get a silver one if I went back to a mk5 quite rare compared to other colours from what I've seen and the darker ed/r lights with the lower valance and wheels work a treat mate :happy2:
-
Looks nice but the only thing that would niggle me is the short front plate on the standard size plinth, are you going to shorten the plinth to match?

The car will be coming off the road soon for winter , i have a few parts sitting there for it that need to go on xenon's , oil , oil filter , gearbox oil , porsche oil cap and coolant cap. car will also be getting some paintwork done on it. Still looking for parts tho , wanting a new us spec front . Going to be going down to gi motorsports to have them make a cage for it and still on the hunt for brakes ( on the hunt for money to fund the brakes ) loba clutch will be on order soon and hopefully have the diff not to long after that .
also was planning on je pistons and rods arp headstuds , couple of other wee parts. Will need to see what my bank balance says soon haha :happy2:

Those td's really suit the car! Silver the fastest colour too :happy2:

.... Thanks for the compliment :drinking:
But mine are OZ Alleggerita's, not TD's.
-
They really do look the part, if i had'nt have just bought a new set of wheels, i think i would have chosen those :happy2:
-
I have the exact same rear on my Reflex Silver GTI....
Makes the back end of the car look so much better than standard.
Nice looking motor by the way. :happy2:

yeh i agree , black plastic is not a good look haha .
im really stuck in two minds at the moment about keeping this and spending some money on it, its sitting at 65k or buying a mk6 r . im leaning towards just keeping it tho .

Wee RR day at xtreme today car ran 368.9bhp , not to happy with the dip in power at 6,000 rpm but will hopefully be getting mapped out somepoint nextweek .

Not sure yet , taking it back up to revo next week some point to check a few things . It is boost related tho . Boost droped down to about 18psi ?

Lack of update on this beast lately mate! Pics of the bad boy brakes it's now rocking!!
-
great looking car. only thing id pick at is the front end the small private plate looks great, though it'd look miles better without the standard plate surround

Thanks, I agree . I really need to get my finger out and get that changed ! Just bought a 4 pot kit for it . Its on at the moment just having a tiny hicup with the left caliper but will get sorted this weekend or before hopefully. Try get some photos up.

Hi mate car looks immense very similar to mine! I need my rear bumper sorting too, did you have to replace it or just get it resprayed?

I replaced mine with a us spec rear and had it re painted. You could smooth and paint the standard one in the same style without the smaller plate size. :happy2:

Stunning car with power!! :happy2:

This must go like stink! Bet it surprises a few people on the road? :driver:

looks like fuel cut at 6k

looks like fuel cut at 6k
....If so, what fuel pump does she have?
Could be time for an APR, Loba, or Autotech internals (installed in brand new OEM pump being recommended).

It was something to do with the map we think, we changed the spark plugs and cleaned the injectors at the same time so cant be sure, but seems to be ok now. It was a autotech internals in a new pump that was put on it mate :happy2:
-
^^^^
Then with aftermarket pump internals it should handle the demands of your remap.
Random/intermittent fuel cuts are typical of a pump hesitating in meeting the ECU's demands, that's why I mentioned it.
I hope it stays ok, Graeme :happy2:
-
Me 2 haha, Thanks robin. I will keep an eye out for its return.

Great looking car , with the power to back up its slick looks , excellent job! :happy2:

I mean the low pressure fuel pump. Log it, I had the same problem

Will do bud. I changed the cam follower as well as that's a sign of it failing , not much damage on it tho. but will definitely have a wee look on vcds and check the low pressure pump.
Cheers :happy2:
