Got my new GTI yesterday :D
« on: 03 September 2014, 16:47 »
Hi everyone!

Hi everyone,

Finally the day came yesterday. My hand controls are all installed! It's been a long 2 and a half years since I last drove!
Anyway, let the modding commence! ;-)

So the spec it will be received in is as follows:
Tornado Red
Performance pack
Upgraded phone connection
Climatic windscreen
Push pull hand controls

Currently the mods I've got are:
Revo air intake
Oz alleggerita 8x18's
Yokohama ad08r
AP Racing Pro 5000 brakes

Items on order:
Revo stage 1 map

Soon to buy:
Turbo back exhaust
Coilovers
Rear wing
Stage 2 map
Dsg software
Inter cooler
Vwr rear discs

I will be out on track days soon! Can't wait to get many more miles under my belt

Wow it looks amazing, but then I would say that because it's of similar spec to mine.

Spending a pretty penny then!!! Be keen to see the car after all the mods, especially after the Oz Alleggeritas are fitted.

I blew a tyre and had Yokohamas fitted, great tyres

Very nice. Similar to mine. The car definitely needs a custom intercooler and intake as the stock is surprisingly poor actually! The cars breathing is very restricted.

You forgot the bigger turbo upgrade off your list ;)
Current - MK7 Golf GTI - Tornado Red, 5 Door, DSG, Performance Pack, Dynamic Chasis Control, Panoramic Sunroof, Discover Navigation, Dynaudio.

On Order - MK7 Golf R - Pearlescent Black, 3 Door, DSG, Vienna Leather, Discover Nav Pro, Rear View Camera, High Beam Assist, Keyless Entry, Dynaudio (Tech Pack)

All gone.

Now;

MK7 Golf R - Lapiz Blue, 5 Door, DSG, Carbon Nappa, Discover Nav Pro.

It serves a good purpose! ;-) I've got a few damaged fingers and to spin the wheel quick makes life so much easier. :-)

Wheels are off for a quick refurb. I got them in red and it didn't look right on the car so changing to gloss black! Pics up when they get back and rubber goes on

There is another plan. Will be looking at dropping a R engine in eventually as they are a direct swap! Plus keep me eligible for the vw golf cup!

Yeah they are but for the cost of an R engine you could go Stage 3 with Hybrid Turbo! It would even be more cost effective to simply chop in the GTI and change to the R if that's the route you had in mind even! Much less of a headache and you get a fully operational haldex system :)
