What have you done to your MK 7 today ?

[virginVWman]

Was hoofing it back home and rather bored so thought id use my stopwatch on the car and decided to time from speed A to speed B, as follows:

70 - eh...well 90 in 4th gear - 4.6 seconds
30 - 70 from 3rd to 4th - 4.3 seconds (i think this is wrong lol so il try this again tomorrow as this appears to be stupidly quick, i think itl be closer to 5.5)

These were 1 run only and may be an odd point of a second out or 2 but you get the idea. Be keen to compare this to a standard GTD or GTI.

Epic fail...30-70 was 6.0 seconds...still pretty damn quick

On the German website there are 80-120kmph (approx 51mph - 77mph) acceleration times in 4th and 5th for GTI and GTD.

In a standard GTD, 4th/5th gear 80-120km is 6.0s and 7.5s respectively.

In a GTI its 5.0s and 6.0s.

Might be worth trying 80-120km (51-77mph in 4th and 5th) for direct comparison with a stock GTI. I'd hazard a guess that it'd be about 4.3s with a 20PS and 150Nm advantage.

They work a treat, had to get Bosch Aerotwins for my 2nd MK5 Golf and 2 Sciroccos prior to my GTD.

They do work a treat, had to drive 100 miles in the rain tonight , much better vision, nice and clear

Cleaned it...and then the sun went in. Just waiting for the rain now

Technically didn't do this today but not had a chance to take a photo yet.  Plasti-dipped the VW emblem on the back, leaving the gloss backing un-painted so it matches my front badge.

That looks great, personally I'd go dark on the GTi badge too.

Cleaned it yesterday then went out for some dessert when I took this



This is when owning a DPB makes it worth it.

Took the family down to West Midlands safari park today and some plonker appears to have let a door hit my car. Not happy but you can only see it if you look very closely.
