My anti-scene Edition 30
Discussion
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.
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....

Black tips look 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.
and I agree, it's almost as if they're trying to be anti-scene

Was there much smoothing applied to your dyno graph? It's very impressive!
Car looks great.
Not sure tbh... What ever the default is on dyno dynamics rollers :-)Car looks great.
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!!!

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

Subtlety. Not a concept I think you grasp. 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.
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.

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.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.
