Title: Black Mk5 Gti - OP0
Post by: Jabarton99 on June 03, 2013, 12:03:45 am: Well I've been building my car fora while now and never really thought much about sharing it until I registered on here.

Well here is what I have done so far, removed edition 30 badges at its not a edition 30 but previous owner had bought a kit from VW/breakers. Now I like the skirts and splitters so left them, and I still have the wheels for another week or two before the OZ Futura arrive :drool:

Inside
R32 Recaro bucket seats (individual colour), Golf R MFSW with cream stitching, Cream stitched gear gaitor to match, RNS510, highline cluster.

Engine
Ko4 turbo, Forge twintercooler, Forge oil catch can & washer bottle, Autotech fuel pump, Neuspeed power pully, S3 injectors, ITG maxogen intake, Red top coil packs, Full 3" exhaust straight through.

HANDLING
AP Coilovers, H & R Anti roll bars, Tarox 10pot calipers front & S3 rear calipers

Coming soon/wanted

OZ Futura (on there way), Xenon headlights, bigger turbo, WMI, KWv3 Coilovers and genuine honest suggestions/ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks Justin

Title: Re: My Project - ideas welcome for additional parts.
Post by: prp74 on June 03, 2013, 03:56:05 am: Very nice. Love those seats :happy2:
Title: Re: My Project - ideas welcome for additional parts.
Post by: edd666999 on June 03, 2013, 09:11:25 am: Cant see there being many people that selected cream leather and recaro bucket seats option when buying so that's a rare sight!
Title: Re: My Project - ideas welcome for additional parts.
Post by: Jabarton99 on June 03, 2013, 07:04:35 pm: Thanks, really wasn sure if they would work well in cream, just can't stop spending money on the car. I just can't think of any goodies now

:happy2:

That's only the same as ~17litres of fuel. Not worth it in my opinion
Title: Re: My Project - ideas welcome for additional parts.
Post by: Jabarton99 on June 05, 2013, 08:21:08 pm: Didnt even think of carbon parts, interesting. A few people have suggested a Water methanol kit but I've never had this. Does anyone know if there safe for the car and is the power increase worth it.

Post by: ReeceH13 on June 05, 2013, 10:40:18 pm: What a beaut!

Never seen Recaro seats like them :laugh:
Title: Re: My Project - ideas welcome for additional parts.
Post by: Jabarton99 on June 05, 2013, 11:19:51 pm: Thanks on the seats, I still have the original black leather nut Paul at premier car trim in Warrington hooked me up with the leather. He's done a few cars that have gone though Performsnce VW, and I have to say he's a genius. He also hand stitched the steering wheel and gear gaitor with cream stitching to match the car. The steering wheels going up for sale as I now have the mk6 wheel going in the car.

Post by: monte on June 05, 2013, 11:49:57 pm: Awesome rare seat :drool:

Would look amazing with a Mk6 MFSW. :notworthy:
Title: Re: My Project - ideas welcome for additional parts.
Post by: Jabarton99 on June 06, 2013, 12:01:32 am: Monte, the mk6 mfsw is been fitted tomorrow with the rns5510 so I'll try for some new pictures. Great minds :signLOL:

Great stuff :laugh: I Love the interior Justin. :happy2:

Would look amazing with the centres of the Recaro's done in Black.

Also maybe the door handles, handbrake grip and the centre cup holder lid.

What do you think?

Post by: Jabarton99 on June 08, 2013, 08:29:35 am: I like the idea I've been looking for a doner r32 for the headline and door pillars in black as well as the carpet but no joy as of yet. I have just fitted the new wheel with cream stitching and the mk6 mfsw as well as the rns510 pic below looks good. Oh and you can just make out the upgraded highline cluster :signLOL:

Title: Re: Mk5 Gti - tuned and more coming.
Post by: Jabarton99 on June 27, 2013, 11:13:49 pm: Well the car is booked in to have the pistons and rods done mid July along with the Camshaft's as long as I can find some S3 ones.

At the same time decided to go all out so the big turbo (Garrett 3071R) will also been fitted along with a custom map. Now apparently the kit can do 500bhp but I'm aiming for 420-440 and hope this will be comfortable on the engine. Any additional ideas help always appreciated and ill get some pics of the turbo up. Can't wait to have a drive.
Title: Re: Mk5 Gti - tuned and more coming.
Post by: jonnym on June 27, 2013, 11:28:13 pm: Are you on a BWA standard GTI engine?
Loving the big turbo though! I tamed what I wanted to so as I don't want to wreck the car...just yet anyway! Will it be safe to run and be efficient for use?

Out of interest, the S3 cam. Any reason for the change? I e sorted through many pages for arguments re this and still don't know it's worth it. Mine needed changing anyway, but I just went for the B revision rather than anything else.

Post by: xjay1337 on June 27, 2013, 11:34:18 pm: Cool man want to see how it develops.
Don't change the interior though the creame is lovely and those seats are hella-rare in it.
Title: Re: Mk5 Gti - tuned and more coming.
Post by: Jabarton99 on June 28, 2013, 08:43:10 am: Thanks, the interior is staying as it is as its a little rare compared to normal seats.

The engine can take te power as long as your prepared to change all the internals ie: pistons rods etc

Post by: DBILAS on July 01, 2013, 06:15:00 pm: who is doing your big turbo work and what kit you using?

Post by: DRM92 on July 01, 2013, 06:17:32 pm: Havent seen those recaros in that colour yet, very nice indeed!
Title: Re: Mk5 Gti - tuned and more coming.
Post by: Jabarton99 on July 01, 2013, 06:54:35 pm: Autograph cars are going to be doing the work on the car. It's booked in for mid July hopefully.

Some of the toys arrived today, I was like a kid in a sweet shop :signLOL:

Title: Re: Mk5 Gti - tuned and more coming.
Post by: Jabarton99 on July 01, 2013, 07:26:26 pm: Also forgot to say I have the hybrid turbo that's on my golf at the moment that will be going up for sale. It's a Borg Warner turbo and is good for 350-370 realistically. It's a straight bolt on job, you just need the ko4 intake and recirculating valve. Will be a couple o weeks before its of, the turbo had done about 10k max
