Rippers 'never' finished black gti build

[mattkgti]

Hi

Love what you've done with the car so far.

I want to buy some driver and passenger grab handles but can't find any new ones anywhere.  Could you share where you got yours?

Cheers

Matt.

Thanks for the comments Matt.

I bought mine off ebay as a package deal, I found these though:

Depends if you have a 3 door or more door on which style you need. Get some chrome switches too, you'll need to take the passenger door card off, plenty of guides on here to help you.

Just got back from Sanis motors, more details to follow but the car is better than I imagined.

One happy mapped GTI owner.

great system isn't it ??

i have different tips to yours though.

I'm even thinking of deleting that first silencer to go full hoonigan mode. but it may drone on long journeys

They are a different league. I love the over burble. Well pleased with it.

Car feels like it's finally finished...until I find the next mod I want

So the car was left at Sari Motors in Chelmsford Essex, a VAG specialist I've know for years.

You've seen the previous pics of the exhaust going on, Reza the head mechanic was almost anal about ensuring everything was lined up perfect, 2mm this way, 3mm that way. Eventually he was happy and moved into fitting a new PVC Valve, cam follower, RS4 return valve, and the dog bone mount.  I also needed a new o/s rear caliper so that was sorted to.







Then came the remap, 4 times Reza adjusted it until he was happy.  The guy is a perfectionist.

When he handed me the keys he came on the test drive and made sure I was 100% happy. Which I clearly was.

The car is a beast, 275 bhp of noise. I love the way he's mapped it perfect to the induction kit and the Powervalve sounds mega.

Once I'd got home, still grinning my a*se off I noticed what had been written in the back of the key fob.



Brilliant



I can't praise Reza and his team at Sani Motors enough. Great service and one to consider if your looking for any work done to your pride and joy.


Gave it a clean today. I really pleased with how this has all come together.





I think this is project finished.

That's for reading and any feedback.

That would be epic!!

What's your mod list mate (engine wise)? And do you have a graph of the map?

I'm at 270/345 myself on a Stage 2 R-Tech map. So nice to drive, although at this point we're getting close to the limits of the k03.

I was advised to get the RS4 return valve actually, when I had a Loba pump fitted, and got a bit of logging done. Didn't originally think it was needed on a k03 car, but I stand corrected! I'll get one when it goes in for the brake upgrade in a couple of months.

That's the only thing they don't have is a rolling road, will need to get it on one for a print out.
I Agree, anything over 270/275 would be on the limits of the k03.
I'm happy with how the car is set up so I doubt I'll push for anymore power.

Too much fun to be had at the moment.

I'll dig out the engine mod list mate

There's a few k03 cars on here that have been in the 290s, one or two touching 300. I think once you're up to 270odd it's the law of diminishing returns. The next 20bhp costs quite a bit if cash. But if you have plans to go further than a k03, you really need those mods in place.

I dare say a 2+ k03 could be mapped beyond 300bhp... but it wouldn't last long!

Totally agree, I can still use mine as a daily driver and still get good mpg on motorways. But when I wanna be hooligan, well I can do that too

Get yourself an uprated fuel pump. Loba or APR.

I'm currently on a Stage 2 R-Tech map. Also with a lovely full Powervalve. The standard pump just couldn't keep up after being on the tamer fuel map of the Stage 1 map. Fuel cuts, holding back etc. It's a much nicer beast now the Loba is fitted. I'm still on the Stage 2 map. Not going to bother with the small jump from 2 to 2+. I'm going to do intercooler, intake and a k04 or k03 hybrid and then get Stage 3 map.

That's defo one to watch. Will be interesting to see what gains you get.
