orderd a cat back system should be on by tuesday, then will get a downpipe when and if i decide to go for a remap.
since getting the car ive added the GTI seat inserts, DSG flappy paddle extentions, Bright license plate lights, and the matt chrome headlight and wing mirrior switch. Also got an aux cable/ converter thing on the way.
Gave the car a clean yesterday and its coverd in sap from the trees today so still yet to get any good pics.
Getting the car in for a DSG service soon and need some new tyres as the ones on atm are like plastic skates! :sick:

I would imagine someone had changed it before sometime in its life.
Post by: AJG09 on June 30, 2015, 09:49:08 pm
Now I dunno weather the non res will be too loud!?!?
Anyway the exhaust itself is great, tips fit the back perfectly IMHO and all the wields looked great. Im no metal worker but it looked really well built.
Customer service was awesome as they price matched and sent it out with next day delivery so I could get it fitted while having my bushes sorted. Only down point was that it was the res version. But like I say I'm so surprised its this loud anyway and I'm getting the non res part sent out.
Anyway will get some pics up of it.

They are just the factory xenon lights and ip get a picture later when its dark of them lit up :happy2:
Post by: AJP on September 02, 2015, 05:46:58 pm
Also approve of the eddy/r32 lights.
Good to see nice mods on another Tornado Red, helps me plan mine
Oh and there really isn't much between a GTI and R32. My GTI has a shade under 300lb/ft from 2500rpm (thanks to R-Tech).... makes it really strong and punchy, and honestly - bring on the R32s..... I'd leave them behind.

Looks much fresher with the painted grilles, takes years off it! One more job added to my list then.

Cheers mate, I've had a browse at your car, looking good. I'm planning a visit to R tech later this year maybe, did you go stage1? And did you get the dsg remapped (if it is a dsg)
Post by: AJG09 on September 02, 2015, 06:08:21 pm
There not standard on the gti are they? Are they from the r32 looking for some brighter lights as mine just don't cut it
They are an optional extra, I think the r32's have them as standard.. Have a look on ebay etc and olin the for sale section on here. There is normally a pair up for grabs and they look much better as well as lighting the whole road up :happy2:
Post by: AJP on September 02, 2015, 06:12:38 pm
It's a brilliant map, smooth but really strong. It flies now.
I've got a manual box.
Might go for an uprated HPFP and exhaust/decat at some point and head back down to have them tweak the map to stage 1.5 / 2 or whatever it'd be.
But for now I'm more than happy!

Nice man, the bottom 2, runs I think they are, are they before and the top 2 are after? Couldn't read it 100%. What mods did you have at the time?
Post by: AJP on September 02, 2015, 08:35:27 pm
No surging, spiking, flat spots etc, and big torque for a k03.
The reputation of R-Tech is justified.
That's bone stock. Just the map.

Cheers am new to this site so will not let me comment on things for sale any reason whyI think you have to have a set number of posts before your allowed to comment etc. There is a rules or guide thread in the for sale section and that tells you how many posts you need.
Awesome Stuff!!Cheers man
Love it!
Spraying the front grill was a fantastic shout! I was at a show recently and they were a MK5 there which just had a full respray but for some reason all his front grills were nearly grey they were so faded! let down the car so much! :happy2: :happy2:Thanks, ot didn't take long to do, was nice and easy you just gotta give it a good wipe over first :smiley:
Yeah I think he did 2 runs pre map to log etc, then came back and did 2 more with the new map. Was a good few hours at it, and it shows.Impressive stuff :happy2: I will be going after an air filter and precat delete :driver:

Oh and don't forget to unplug it from the cigarette lighter as those things play havoc on certain channel frequencies on Satelite TV !!!!!!! Even with the keys out of the ignition. :happy2:

Got the rev g dv today ready to go on next week in preparation for my visit to r tech. Also got my ramair induction kit delivered this morning and had a free day so fitted it right away. Nice and easy other than the original hose running to the turbo intake... Couldn't get it off for a good 10 mins then gave it a big yank and it came off with me hitting my head on the bonnet :mad:

I actually like it and it looks abit better in person. Either way its on now for the meantime but I actually think it looks quite good and quite subtle.

anyway that's gone now so I've decided to get an ed30 lip, most likely a replica off eBay and then colour code the car.
Also want some wheels. Originally wanted the OZ super turismo LM's but I found these and I actually prefer them.

I don't want to rush into it so taking my time as there is no rush so any input is welcomed :happy2:
And lastely I changed my side light bulbs to some LED ones to look abit fresher and go with the xenons more. Its not the best pic as the reflection on the headlights makes it hard to see the side lights.
Left of the pic is new LED right is old yellow bulb

thought seeing as im spending money on others I may as well spend some on me :happy2:
Just got them on the car so will upload pics of them fitted soon
P.s I decided against the rota's in the end

Did you get the wheels from tyre leader ??
No bud, I went through rimstyle as they were £20 cheaper per wheel and I've used them before :smiley:

how much were they bud if you don't mind me asking?

I want to get some 3mm or 5mm spacers for the rears so Il be selling my 10mm and 12mm hubcentric spacers and wheel bolts as they don't fit on the front with these wheels... Might try the 10mm on the rears but think it will touch the rear arch.
The pics make the car look higher than it is in person too.
And now I've got these fitted i want to get the lowers all colour coded £££ :rolleye:
Cheers

You've got the height just about perfect. My Audi's sitting like this, wish I did the same with my MK5 tbh but I bottled daily stance back then :grin: :laugh: :ashamed:

Like the Super T's Alex, combination that works really well :happy2:

Swapped the standard hazard button for the dark cherry version (ebay) looks abit nicer imo...

Also got the matt chrome tipped window switches on to match the headlight switch and the mirror switch I did a while ago. The old window switches had worn through so they were white :sick: did the passenger side too... and yes Ignore the dust :laugh:
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2FAJG09%2FMobile_Uploads%2FWP_20160104_11_27_06_Pro_zpsivi4qysm.jpg&hash=189cc543f1fc51ed593da64652dcccd9c69d02c3)
And got some new car mats for xmas and a GTI foot rest so got them in...
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2FAJG09%2FMobile_Uploads%2FWP_20160104_14_31_36_Pro_zpsh2pb6k4m.jpg&hash=47356b65f93952370cfd54fe80929982a3d82adc)
Also got my hands on a black coolant cap and then ordered the wrong size washer bottle cap so I just sprayed my old washer bottle cap black to match :laugh:
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2FAJG09%2FMobile_Uploads%2FWP_20160104_14_20_57_Pro_zpsasjoilui.jpg&hash=627680fa12437b1949fbc47aec15d5fdb26d913d)
And lastly got a gloss black VW badge for the front and topped all the fluids up..
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2FAJG09%2FMobile_Uploads%2FWP_20160104_14_35_02_Pro_zpsum0v7tvs.jpg&hash=e83928977c3e1d4eb852317f97a613ab95dab725)
Only thing is now I think the GTI badge stands out a bit too much and I don't want to spray it fully black. So i was thinking of getting the black one with a thin silver outline from online as its only a few quid if I prefer it solid silver :confused:
Looking at getting the car detailed soon after ive got the bumpers colour coded so any recommendations nearby (Berkshire) and il give them a look :smiley:

getting the car detailed and sealed in the next month or so, so should sheet the water off nicely as I get a lot of dust on my car when its parked at work.
That's pretty much it, just been cleaning the car and enjoying it. looking forward to the summer with this car tbh.

Mtec c hook with anti corrosion coating on them :happy2: also got EBC yellow stuff pads as they were on offer.
Got some of the uprated sub frame bolts in an attempt to fix a knocking im getting although I've now realised its not the sub frame and its one of my top mounts so that will get done soon... still going to fit them anyway as I have them.

Not much going on other than that. Got some other things I want to do this year like get the intake manifold cleaned after seeing some other members pictures, maybe go stage 2+ if I can find a down pipe hpfp and IC for the right price. But just enjoying it as I want to atm.
Better chuck in a recent pic or two...
