Ive been signed up on here for a while now... I know you guys love sensible chassis mods such as normal 'sprung' suspension and correctly fitting tyres.

It is a Mk5 GTI, yes it handles much better than factory and yes, air ride is for fags.

rolleyes

Current spec....

Bilstein PSS10 Coilovers
Superpro poly bushed front. Poly rear toe adjuster
Superpro front camber ball joints -1.5º
Superpro Anti Lift kit
Autotech rear ARB
H&R front ARB
Tyrol Dead set subframe locking kit
DB9 Brembo 4 pots with AP racing 362mm 3 piece fully floating discs
8mm front H&R spacers (need rears at somepoint)
Evoms intake
R8 Coilpacks
BCS TBE 200 cell, black ceramic tips
Revo Stage 2
Revo DSG software Stage 1
Pistonhead sticker (+10bhp)
Yokohama AD08R 225 40 18... correct tyres... no stretch





More to go on this summer including front camber ball joints, Bilstein B8 shocks... maybe even Loba HPFP and S3 intercooler... should see 350-360bhp



Excuse the rear wiper (fixed now)



Running some extra boostings....

Was there much smoothing applied to your dyno graph? It's very impressive!

Car looks great.

Rich does love a good black tip.

I can't help thinking that I don't understand why people lower their cars by such tiny amounts, as it looks like they simply haven't bothered.

Probably two I'd say, judging by the above pictures...

and I agree, it's almost as if they're trying to be anti-scene winkbiggrin

Not sure tbh... What ever the default is on dyno dynamics rollers :-)

In theory it should make a bit more power as it stands but I am on the limit of the OEM fuel pump and running luke warm settings. Still goes like a stabbed rat!!!

Hey Rich

You need to smooth everything and delete all the wipers and badges for it to look proper scene that includes door handles as you can put some solenoids in to sort that out.

BOOM FANNY MAGNET AHOY !!

What's the benefit of fitting coil packs from an R8?

None whatsoever, just something to add to a 138 page build thread where all the OP has done is lower the car by 15mm and changed some suspension bushes.

Well... my OEM ones blew up and the R8 ones are cheaper (when bought as a set of 4) than OEM ones. They are also supposedly higher impedance too, not sure if that makes any real term difference or not.


If everyone could just ignore the 5 year old that is spamming this thread that would be great. He is just hating because his car is painfully slow.

Ohh very much so. The TFSI engine makes the exhaust tips black after a few hundred miles anyway, so I thought best just to start with them black on purpose. I am not into shiny "look at me" things, I would rather a car that looks stock-ish that is modified underneath.

Subtlety. Not a concept I think you grasp.

In the same vain I'm not sure why people want to go into a field and lower their cars until they sit on the grass. Each to their own I guess.

Nice to see a Golf that hasn't been barried to oblivion. Lol at the "only 13.5 second 1/4 mile", I suppose the compromise for being so slow is being able to handle well, this will be a much better drive on the road than any of those air ride stboxes.

To improve handling whilst retaining drivability maybe? I can't understand why people slam their cars on the floor, because it makes it virtually undrivable on a lot of the country's roads, and completely undrivable at any speed on many country lanes. If my car was much lower than stock I'd run out of ground clearance on a regular basis.
