Title: Tommy's Tornado Red GTI
Post by: Tommyt90 on January 27, 2014, 07:29:43 pm
Been on here a while now and thought it was time to do a build thread.
First car I got was a mk5 gt tdi 140 didn't really have much spec but was a massive upgrade from a corsa c

All I did to this was a revo remap which totally changed the car.
As my insurance was due I thought I'd see what a gti was like. Anyways it was afford able so I got 1. This is what she looks like

2006 58k on the clocks iPod connection and the usual gti cloth trim 18' monzas. It's so hard to find a gti with all the spec you want. Anyways after I had this a month or so I caught the bug and bought some coilovers.

Nice and cheap. Few mates are running them and said they couldn't complain. Here a few Pics after she was lowered.

You've gotta love the mk5 rear end.
But it caught like a mofo so went to get some rear camber

I ran 225/40 rear and 215/35 front. So with the 35 profile it made it look high so down she went the night before players.

So there was a bit off confusion at the garage tonight. They only managed to sort the rears didn't have time to swop the fronts so here's a few pics off the rear and the stretch.

Tonight I got my wheels on. Happy with they rear but front I ain't. Need more stretch and the whole car needs spacers. But you can't get decent stance over night.

Where did you buy them from?  Have a similar stainless set up to you so wouldn't mind doing this to mine

I got a price from Milltek (info@millteksport.com), GT80 pipes part number MSVW370: £113.17 the pair.

Classed as Edition30 style pipes.
