Here's the old m3

And the old r32

So here's the gti...

55 plate
3dr manual gti
76'000 miles
Full leather xenons
It came already colour coded which was a bonus.
I'm really happy with it. Really surprised I prefer it to the r32.
Anyway this is me trying to save money and be sensible!
I've done a few things upto now first being a stage 1 remap at more-BHP in Crewe, Jason and Mike highly recommended, these guys are perfectionists I've never had service like it! They had it on the rolling road 3 times and then The ramp to check the diverter valve and actuator until they were happy with the results. They explained how they vary depending on engine code etc anyway the end results were
242bhp / 387nm.
Next thing I did was invested in some lowering springs I searched ebay for the lowest available and found 55mm springs and I was on a budget so these will do for now until I get some coilovers, this is how it sits now...

Next up I put an intake on, I couldn't decide on an autotech intake because i read a few reviews about maf reading problems and I didn't want to spend £3-400 on an intake!
So I called forge and ordered the maf sensor pipe with dv blanking plate for k03 (from the twintake kit) which is 2.75 inch
The turbo is 2.25 inch so I ordered a 2.25/2.75 silicone boost pipe reducer
A 2.75/3" reducer for the other end of the maf pipe
2x 3" alloy boost pipes
2x 3" 90 degree silicone boost pipes
And finally I found a k&n cone filter 3" fitment
Costing me around £120 for everything and the reassurance of the correct maf reading from the forge twintake kit.
To say it was abit of a guess ordering the parts it all fits perfect! And a noticeable power increase so I'm very happy with how it worked out.
To do list:
3" decat downpipe
S3 intercooler
Stage 2 remap ( will be going to more-BHP again )
Maybe bbs lm's or team dynamic pro race 1.2s.
Sorry for all the pics!!! Can't help it!
Il keep updating as and when.
A few more pics trying snowfoam for the first time

lovely car mate, great work on building your own intake! i too made my own to save £200 :P mine works lovely with the forge maf pipe from the twintake kit :happy2:Thanks mate. Can't go wrong for the money! The guy I spoke to at forge said a lot more people are asking for just the maf pipe.
Post by: Joshryan on July 04, 2014, 03:17:04 pm
Nice example mate, sits well. Any pics of the intake?I will take some and get them put up. I'm surprised how good the springs sat but it's compromised the comfort abit!

I've also got a 55 reflex silver Golf!
The ride height looks awesome.
Apart from not getting over big speed bumps is there a big diff to the ride quality?
Also are they 17s or 18s?

Sweet !Hiya mate yes it is a lot harder to be honest, also 18s at the moment. Have you got a build thread?

I'll maybe keep saving for my coilovers.
I had FK on my mk4 and my old classic bug was slammed :)
Now I have a daughter to pick up from nursery so springs are not top of my list.
No build thread just yet as I've only had her a few months.
You car looks sweet though so low !

Oh a lot harder dosnt sound great. :surprised:I'm in the same boat mate, only had the car for 2 months.

they were just the cheapest low option when I bought it, it does sit well I was surprised but not the comfiest!!

So I ordered open fog light grills and yellow tint film for the fog lights whilst I was doing it all.
Also the upper grill was looking very dull so I decided to paint it gloss black to clean up the front, anyway I ended up doing the badge black and the new grills also.
It's kept me busy for the afternoon! Let me know what you think...

What a huge difference it's made to performance you can tell how restricted it was! The noise isn't overly different driving steady but on full chat it sounds great! So it's now stage 2 ready but I don't know weather to wait and spend the money I would remapping it on an intercooler and them map it in a few months.
Also changed my rev D to a rev G but I haven't noticed a difference so I now have a spare. Here's a few more pics...

I wasn't very happy with how tatty my steering wheel was looking a fellow member recommended using a hot damp towel to remove all of the surface grease, so I did this then I found some autoglym leather cleaner that's been in my cupboard for a few years I used that to finish it off and these are the results...

Pleased to say it only took 10 minutes to do.
Next up my car was covered in tar so I spent a couple of hours on this followed by T-cut then followed by a polish with autoglym super resin polish.
It looks so much better definitely worth doing

Looks the nuts mate and I like the tinted lights, where did you get the tint from? And I'm guessing just a normal lacquer on top? Never normally a fan of silver cars but mk5s do look spot onJust bought some normal tint spray off ebay for about £4.50 only just enough though. And normal laquor, the finish wasn't great to start with but I Used abit of T-cut and they turned out pretty good.

Never normally a fan of silver but i have to say.. this is looking great :happy2: Ride height looks just right i think, looking into lowering mine but wasn't sure how much by as i would be going for coilovers as and when i can spend the time and money to get some. Will keep a watch out for progress on this, looks great so far.Silver wasn't my first choice but with the milage spec and price it was right at the time, it's just on springs at the moment but I'd recommend short adjustable drop links otherwise it doesn't feel like the anti roll bar is doing anything!
Just trying to make it look and preform the best I can with a tight budget.

cant believe how well it sits!, nnoticed any rubbing or anything?I've just replaced the front tyres and the front o/s caught over dips at low speed, it turns out it was the screw that holds the inner arch in at the top so I removed the screw and tucked the arch liner above the locater and it's never done it since.

A few things I've done recently,
First my brakes were awful so I ordered the m-tech drilled and grooved discs with mintex pads, they have made a huge difference! Also got the Hel braided lines to fit next week so I'm looking forward to more stopping power!

Next I removed my front splitter which was ready for some paint after catching it on a low curb.
I separated the lower centre piece and painted it black, and used vw reflex silver rattle cans off ebay, laquered and polished.
Very happy with the finished result.

Are those m1144?No mate just the budget mintex pads. I'm going the try ebc yellow stuff pads out next month.
Post by: Scottymon on September 07, 2014, 08:41:12 pm
I've also tried the Yellowstuff pads, they were slightly better than standard but not much tbh; personally I'd go straight for Ferrodo DS2500 or Mintex M1144. :happy2:
Post by: Joshryan on September 07, 2014, 10:04:16 pm
I didn't notice much difference over standard with the mtec discs, they look nice though and didn't crack with some fairly hefty abuse.Maybe I think they perform much better because the old discs n pads were that past it brake fade was dangerous! I would like ds2500 or m1144s but the price! If you didn't notice a big difference in the yellow stuff pads I might give them a miss then! Cheers for the advice mate. Hope I notice a difference in the HEL braided lines. :driver:

We did a deal on my monzas in swap for them, nice to meet a fellow member.
Anyway a few pics fitted they are et45 so they've saved on purchasing wheel spacers! And also redone the rear lights as I wasn't happy with the finish. Comments welcome...

Post by: B6NVW on September 14, 2014, 09:57:16 am
Personally i prefered the monzas, gave the car a much cleaner newer look imo.
How are the new brakes holding up? Need to do mine but really cant decide whether ro go for standard or not

Really nice car mate. You know how to make silver look good!I was in two minds about the monzas because they were so clean, i just got bored and fancied trying a few different things! I will get some more after winter. I do like the more aggressive look of the pro races then again I did like how the monzas kept it more oem.
Personally i prefered the monzas, gave the car a much cleaner newer look imo.
How are the new brakes holding up? Need to do mine but really cant decide whether ro go for standard or not
The brakes are so much better I feel confident with them, still got the Hel lines to go on so that should be enough for road use. I'd recommend them for a cheap upgrade.

How hard have they made the ride?
How are the original shockers taking to it ?
How long have you been running these springs , perhaps you could pm me a little review ? Thanks

Every pay day I'm ordering parts!!! :signLOL:

Great car. Those wheels sits perfect on it. Do yoh maybe remember how many coats of tint spray did you use on your tail light? I will try the same thing, before i spend 150£ on new tails.Thanks mate, I ordered a 200ml rattle can which was small so I used the whole can. I was worried they would be too dark but I don't think they look too bad, I did put 8 coats of laquor on so I could wet n dry then t-cut to get the best finish I could. I will buy genuine ed30/r32 lights eventually.

Really can't go wrong with 1.2's can you, make cars look great! Did you notice a difference in how the car drove when you changed from the monza's to these?I agree mate I think 1.2s suit most cars, much lighter when I picked them up I nearly threw them in the air ha! They sit abit wider than the monzas about 6mm I think so handling feels a little bit better.

It was a great day and a good turn out, anyway here's a list of things I got done with pics...
Oil and filter change
Ngk platinum plugs
Ferodo rear pads
Hel braided lines
Continental front tyres
Tracking done
N/s drop link
Check Dv
Adjust the exhaust to get the tips to sit nice and flush
Clean and enjoy!
What a difference this has made the brakes actually feel like they have stopping power, and the engine feels so much healthier and seems to boost stronger.

Yeah it's a bitch wanting something but can't have it isn't lol :laugh: car will be sweet man what Coilovers are you looking at, have you thought about springs and shocks?You did have a lovely eddy mate gutted to see it go. I'm always looking at them to buy but the value for money with a k03 gti and the same situation with looking for our first house I need to keep mine!Glad my old build thread gave you ideas :happy2: I sold my eddy a few months back and bought something cheap to run around in as were buying our first house but now I want a mk5 again and if I bought a ed30 again I'd compare it to much to the old revo one so I'll build a k03 gti this time round :innocent:Nice gti you got there mate :happy2:Thanks mate, followed your thread how come your changing down to a k03 gti?
What's next for this mate ?
Jake

Bilstein dampers are meant to be very highly rated with H&R springs or eibach springs mate :happy2: I have found a fully loaded gti with a few silly mod's that I will take of and sell like dished wheels and other bits that ain't my thing but I need to sell my civic first. I had 2 time wasters Sunday and 1 on Saturday so fingers crossed for 4th time lucky because then I can go get my ass back in a gti :evil:It is mate I'm hoping to own one at some point but for now up keep adding bits to mine so I don't get bored!

I'm gonna go for bilstein dampers I've decided, I will try them on my current springs as they've only done around 1000miles but i don't want to put to much stress on the dampers with 55mm springs!Bilstein dampers are meant to be very highly rated with H&R springs or eibach springs mate :happy2: I have found a fully loaded gti with a few silly mod's that I will take of and sell like dished wheels and other bits that ain't my thing but I need to sell my civic first.

Are you going for a dsg or manual this time? And another black one?! I always wish I'd bought a steel grey gti but I got the right spec for the right price with the reflex.
I hate time wasters good luck selling the civic mate.

Good choice mate :happy2: what springs are they at -55?. Dsg mate saves all that £1M clutch nonsense, plus I've always fancied dsg at some point. Little_dave's s3 took me out for a quick spin to MaccyD's and the gear change was unreal. Yeah that's what I'm going on, best spec and price instead of just plain spec and red for example. Just hpi'd the gti and it's got outstanding finance on it.I'm gonna go for bilstein dampers I've decided, I will try them on my current springs as they've only done around 1000miles but i don't want to put to much stress on the dampers with 55mm springs!Bilstein dampers are meant to be very highly rated with H&R springs or eibach springs mate :happy2: I have found a fully loaded gti with a few silly mod's that I will take of and sell like dished wheels and other bits that ain't my thing but I need to sell my civic first.

The springs are called LO, i had an 07 r32 Dsg last year and I do wish I had it now! So easy to live with and the noise was addictive! That's a shame did the owner not advertise it or expecting you not to know about it? Looking forward to seeing what you choose.Good choice mate :happy2: what springs are they at -55?.

Yea when you getting the bilsteins ?The end of next week on payday. Not sure when il get time to fit them il keep you updated.
Just turned down 19" speed lines
Love the speedlines but I'd rather stick with 18s for everyday use, there was some 18" speedlines on here not long ago for around £300.
