Looking great so far. :happy2:
-
future mods are
carbon grille plinth
ko4

compos to get painted black

-
Those 18s look very nice on the GTI !!!!!
Could you tell me which Eibach springs you have on there please ??
-
They are sportlines Rich.
-
car looks sweet, wheels really suit it,
-
clutch (unsure on what yet)
Sachs is the best way i reckon for you! :happy2:
you'll hate the bedding in process tho.
-
whats that lee ?
the fitting of it will prob be worse lol
-
GILLM, what are the dimmensions of the MO's. quite fancy a set of these but wasnt sure if you could spec the "ET" of the wheel.
Also where did you buy them and what were the costs if you dont mind me asking. Car looks good on them.
Iain
-
Lovely car! Looks immense on the Compomotives!
-
Very Nice. Large spec you have there! :happy2:
-
the et is 44 and you can get then direct from compomotive
-
Looking good lone the track wheels
-
Car looks spot on. Lovin the rims, somthing a bit different. :happy2:
-
Looks good mate, love the VWR splitter :drool: :happy2:
-
rims look cool.liking the motorsport theme :driver:
-
rims are now gone . was 50/50 on them so i sold them on . got coilovers to fit and arbs . along with a wd6050
just need time to do it all
-
Only just see this Gilm :ashamed:
And I have to say I liked those wheels, they looked very purposfull! :happy2:
-
That looks really decent!!
Love the brakes, they def add something over the standard car looks wise!
-
Only just see this Gilm :ashamed:
And I have to say I liked those wheels, they looked very purposfull! :happy2:
they looked good but putting the coilovers on and going lower just would not work , would rub like mad on track . plus i bought another mk2 and the misses was getting chewy about the sets of wheels i have stored for my mk1 . still got 3 sets of mos 1 set of ch's and the std monza 2s .
-
i like :)
what sort of power figures did you get with the revo?
any more pics?
-
figures have been anywhere from 245 @ tsr to 272 @ stealth
what sort of pics do you want ?
-
just done the cambelt and water pump on it today . what a pain in the ass . fitted later spec covers to it to make the process a little bit easier .
on inspection of the belt there were 3 teeth that were worn and had caused ware to the rollers and tensioner . was defo time to change it .
car has done 29k and is 4 years old , eek
-
I had mine done this summer, 2 1/2 yo and 170.000km :jumping:
-
....
Love those wheels you got rid of (sorry!).
I don't quite understand your concern about rubbing - If your coilovers and suspension are properly setup you shouldn't experience rubbing. I don't and you know how low mine is now. Tucking up the arch linings helps too.
-
no problem i prefer my bbs's to the comps so i got shot of them .
-
bit of a update i ordered some bsh engine mounts and got some r32 rears coming .
also looking into clutches and hpfps for it too
-
ended up getting a helix clutch with a single mass flywheel . also got some rs4 injectors , so the next stage of the car is in full swing :)
-
a few boxes were at home today :)

Just read the thread title :stupid:
What sort of power you expecting after installation matey? :popcornsoda:
-
i dont want to go mad on power anything over 320 and i will be happy . main thing is to keep it safe and trackable

Pahh.. 400 or bust mate :wink:
-
"ONLY" 320bhp :laugh:
-
fitted my r32 rears today . great easy mod . only thing i found was getting acess to the m14 slpine bolts was a bit a abugger . and they look great behind the wheels . will post up a pic tomorrow
-
^^^^
And he still found time to help me with my EVOMS cover 'project' :drinking:
Glad to hear you got the brakes finished - I wouldn't have wanted to hold you up.
I got pulled by the Police on the way home! (In Random Chat).
-
yeh just read that , glad it went ok for you . i remeber years ago getting pulled over for foglights in yeovil and getting a fine for then , but i was on my way home from weymouth and clay pidgen was covered in fog (as it always is ) and had forgot to turn them off when back in yeovil .
did the glue hold robin ?
-
^^^^
The glue is amaaaaazing! Methinks it's stronger than the alu (or "tin" as you call it).
Step 2 today.. Glue set overnight.. Fitting and pics tomorrow, unless my studio session goes on all day, then it'll be new HowTo improve an EVOMS cover thread (excluding repair details).
Re your gt28, methinks that Ray West is a good option - Ticks a lot of boxes. Nothing against APR, they have good products, but long distance relationships are nearly always tricky.

Sweet car dude :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:

r32 rear brakes fitted
-
^^^^
Looking great! :congrats:
But, more importantly, delivering the braking balance you prefer.
Having seen your car yesterday, I must say that those CH's look perfect as they are - Just my opinion but I think you'd spoil them if finished in black.
If you're on a course for more track action with the Mk5, then consider some lighter weight wheels such as the new Team Dynamics (they do matt black) - Makes a difference you can feel. Spare set of TD's with track rubber and keep the CH's perhaps because they look very smart indeed.
-
Hmm.... Tornado red. Hmm..... Ch's!
Hmm brakes!
Jay likes!
-
blimey martin...you've cleaned it for once! :laugh:
looks a lot lower than the last time i saw it!
-
Looks great mate :congrats:
-
blimey martin...you've cleaned it for once! :laugh:
....I can report that all 3 of his cars in his drive yesterday were sparkling clean - Positively dazzling!
-
yep i trying to keep them clean and tidy . mk1 has not been washed since may . (infact thats the last time is saw daylight)
-
Car looks unreal! :happy2:
Bit off topic but where did you get you compomotive mo's from? Just wondering who do good deals on them?
Cheers Scott
-
reyland motorsports are best for the comps
-
Or try wheelbase they are so helpful and seem to be great on price with their price and finance if needed? :happy2:. The comps look brilliant.
-
you can buy direct from compomotive
-
Looks hard as nails :drool:

Oops I never meant to do that, got a bit carried away :ashamed: 2 pumps and a squirt :ashamed: :signLOL:

got round to fitting the engine mounts and they have made a lot of difference , no more sloppy engine movement and gearchanges are alot crisper , but they are loud ! im hoping the will quieten down . i also jacked the car up 10mm as it was catching on everything ! and on doing this i moved the inner liner up to stop the rubbing if it ever was to get close .
another thing i spotted was my tyres are threw to the canvus :scared: so i took all of the ch's off and put the monzas back on till i get some new tyres put on next week .

-
AWESOME, loving this look, How low is it exactly and is it useable at this height?
loving the OEM (+a little look)
-
unsure to be honest . i did have 20mm of thread left on the coilovers but i decided to raise it up 10mm this weekend as it was catching now and then
-
done about 200 miles on the mounts now , they have got quiter but not much lol . also went to APS today for my new 3" down pipe .(warrenty from milltek) . great service and would recomend .
-
finished this off today . well happy with the results

Nice job, whens the BT going on?
Love the stance aswel from page 3(?)
-
everything is lined up for the turbo to go on but im thinking of doing it after i go to germany (could be tempting fate if i do it before )
its also booked in for the diff and clutch to be fitted at vwr next week .
-
car is in having the diff and clutch fitted :)
and vw racing gave my dad a 300bhp mk5 gti whilst they have mine lol . word is "its fast !"
-
well got the car back and the clutch is mega . zero slip and not as harsh as i thought it might be , infact its not too far from a lightened 02a/vr set up . spool up is quicker too :)
not been pushing it too much to test the diff as i also had new roters fitted whilst the car was in so im still bedding them in ! i also fitted the fuel pump last week and it now has 300 miles on it so it proven with good mid range and upwards results .
all thats left to do is fit the turbo kit :)
very impressed with vwr . top bunch of lads !
-
went to a local german meet on sunday and some bloke took some very good pics of my car , so i thought i would share them with you .
number plate attaches ala top cat's handy hint :)

-
Hi Martin,
You posted a comment about loose(?) suspension from VWR in another thread: What's the story? Doesn't sound good.
-
hi robin
after getting my car back from having the diff done i had a clunking noise from the front (posted a thread at the time http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,13610.0.html ). after alot of messing around changing droplinks i good friend of mine who is the workshop manager of haynes popped over and asked what had been done since he had the car (1 week before vwr had it) .
i told him i had the diff done so we then went threw logical steps of removing the box . i.e drive shafts out / hubs slacked / strut slacked .
turned out that the main shock bolt (threw the hub) was loose / not even nipped up , so the strut was moving around in the hub body causing it to clunk .
very upset to say the least as i found it 2 days before a track day !
i contacted vwr and they deniied it all .

That's not good at all. Not what I want to hear as I use VWR quite a lot. They are usually keen to put right any mistake they have made. :sad1:

there would have been nothing they could do apart from drive down and put a spanner on it . but after that i went over evertything the went near to be sure for myself . i fully understand peeps make mistakes aware/unaware of , but that is the only thing i have let someone else do on the car only to be let down by . live and learn i guess .have you never thought of using a local garage robing ? seems odd driving all that way .
-
have you never thought of using a local garage robing ? seems odd driving all that way .
....I wouldn't trust any of the local garages except my VW dealer but they can't do things like install a DSG diff or setup a suspension, drill carbon, etc. It's horses for courses and I use either my dealer, JKM in Portsmouth, or VWR in Milton Keynes, each depending what needs doing. VWR can, and do, do all sorts of things which an ordinary garage can't and I'm very happy to drive the distance.
I use people I feel comfortable with and who I have a rapport with.
-
i can highly recomend haynes garage services (behind the meusem) . they work on exotic / race / every car . i use them for everything i cant do , such as tracking/mot/serviceing (for the stamp).
-
^^^^
Thanks. Good to know about Haynes but I've no reason to change my 3 main guys - If it works, don't mend it.
-
very nice, GTI man,
finally got one and it happens to be RED too. Well it's photo's of yours that convinced me to get one. That and Red Robin I think his post name is.
What is the front lip you are running? never seen another photo with such a lip.
Thanks

Haha, you guys are pretty funny, But so damn true. Already looking at a stage 3+ for the car, I have not even owned it for 24hrs yet. lol.
Mainly cause it's almost a near impossible price to resist. It's from a mate I helped install his around 4 months ago. But is going to a MK6 with Stage 3+ now.
will have to try and get one of those front spoilers. Sorry not wanting my car to look like yours but I really like that front lip thou.
-

-
Good stuff. :party:
Don't be drip feeding us with your usual one liners. We want full spec, dyne results and graphs, loads of photo's and a full review. :happy2:
-

You got a larger core intercooler being made?? you still going to use twintercooler design or going with just larger front item??
Sie
-
twin set up for the moment but testing might see this change if there is too much of a pressure drop
-
looks like i get to pick it up this week yippee
-
Keeping all things crossed, hope to see you both at JKM on saturdee :happy2:
-
had a call yesterday from ray and the car has made 363 bhp with around 380ft/lb . he is slightly de-tuning it tho as im still on std rods and pistons . my plan will be to build up a nice bottom end with some head work and see what happens !
-
368 bhp, is that just off the turbo upgrade? what did it cost if you dont mind me asking
-
the spec is in previous posts
as for cost which bit ?
-
:pomppomp: :pomppomp:

With Polar FIS+ you can follow the difference in your dash :wink:
I might look into this heat shield wrapping, any good places to buy this stuff? :drinking:

That's good to Hear. Be interesting to see actual difference in intake air temps.
I ordered some heat reflective wrap the other day :)
