Wheels have been refurbished Anthracite, Eibach springs and Milltek cat-back resonated exhaust are the only mods.

Will be getting it remapped at some point, these K04 cars can be tuned to ~300ps pretty easily.

I like these, in a way quite timeless and some proper tuning potential if you take into acoount their age now.

Looking good, will keep an eye on this.

I've had one for 5 years now, they're so competent its hard to replace them without spending a lot more dosh. Remap really does transform them.

My only criticism is that they lack character, and the chassis doesn't really 'fizz', as an allrounder though, hard to fault.

Enjoy.

Hi Gary.

Keeping well? Still got the mk2??

I’m a long time out of VW’s now- aside from the mk7 GTD for family duties.

Punting around in another DC2 Integra R now. Love it.

Ian & Graham still have CFJ & VUC

Hi Chris hope you're well, no the mk2 went years ago as a non-runner, it's up North now.
I did see you had an Integra, they're fun cars!

I saw Ian was selling the mk2 a while back, wanted strong money!

Nice car OP. I hope you enjoy it. I have one in Pearl black bought in February to replace a standard GTI and boy is it fast!!

Love a mk5 GTI, a real timeless design and the ed30 is even better.

Other than a Parrot Bluetooth system. It's completely standard.

[GVK]

Any plans to change anything on it?

That looks like a gorgeous example, future classic for sure
I really with I'd gone for one of these instead on my 6R which I find a little safe & refined..

If you're even going stage 1 with R-Tech then I'd maybe budget in for uprated clutch too as the torque on these kills the standard one fairly easily.

Personally with all the hardware you have now it might be worth throwing in some updates HPFP internals such as Autotech then you can go stage 2+ which is normally around 370bhp & 400ftlb.

Mines a rocket.... Enjoy!!

Looks good - except the paint looks a different shade on the nearside door to the rear panel, or is it just the photo?

Yes, the clutch is a bit of a concern, no issues yet but as you say the increased torque may kill it!

Funny you should say that, I noticed that as it sat under a street light the other night.

It's had wings replaced so wonder how far they went 'blowing in' the paint....

Noticed straight away. Looks like they painted to the edge of the door and left the rear 3/4 alone. Looks nice though

No. No plans other than maintenance. It was previously mapped to 310 bhp under previous ownership. Now back to standard was done before I bought it.
