Bryans Black GTI -

Just to make you aware that the material of the trim you're about to replace changed at some point and VW only supply the newer greyer one. It's obvious they're different but I'm having to live with it.

[gobbleplease]

Awe thats not so good !

What parts of trim did you buy mate was it both the top part with heater surrounds or the bottom climatronic control trim how much was it too

Thanks for the info 

[Nasir]

Just the top part, was thinking about getting the bottom bit but then the radio is different, so is the area near the gearstick. a whole lot needs to be changed then and it's not exactly cheap. The top part is £47.50 or around there.

Ok giac remapped now , pump file with the new increased torque maps. i never had the cash for the select module, so i decided to just leave that at the moment.
The mid range torque this thing spits out now is bloody mental ! I was also advised to fit an HPFP before the ITG intake as i would probably end up with fuel cuts.
Phoned up Awesome tonight and ordered myself an APR pump so ill hopefully get that fitted soon then on with the itg  

Also fitted my ed 30 front lip with red line accent, still not sure about it though.

[gobbleplease]

Cheers Dru, yip its carron im from, there are quite a few gtis about our area now, althought Edition 30s seem to out number them, im begining to think it was the GTI VW made in limited numbers

Not much to do Now ! A few weeks ago i got my APR high preasure fuel pump fitted and my ITG intake. The car now feels so much smoother to drive and the Mid range has been mega beefed up    . The ITG intake sounds great too, it wooshes under hard acceleration, with lift off resulting in a dumping "Kutchch" sort of noise. I think im going to need to sell the RNS 510 now as i dont listen to the radio anymore, the sound of the ITG and Blueflame are music to my ears !





I also done some logs with my racelogic performance box (very accurate performance meter) to see what kind of 0-60 times ive been getting

Standard GTI Manual - 7.2 seconds

Giac Updated Torque Maps, S3 intercooler and Blueflame Exhaust - 6.0 seconds

As above with the addition of the ITG intake and APR HPFP - 5.6 seconds

The newest (last run) was taken just after the hardware was fitted with no ECU adaptation time, in 27oC heat with crap tyres so i think with new tyres on a colder day ill be looking at the low 5 seconds, which i think is amazing for a k03 GTI and FWD car in general, no matter what the engine    

Once ive done a 1/4 mile ill post up the differance the HPFP and intake has made to this

A really nice looking car, absolutely love the front badge, the red line and mirrors!

How do you find the ride since switching to the 18's? Im tempted but worried it will be too harsh a ride and will lose the comfort?

[dbcperformance]

some spacers in the back, perhaps 8mm you are all set. Good solid build up

[bondy]

  nice looking motor you have there. Love the look of the brakes and the nice details with the red stripes.

[gobbleplease]

Thanks guys !

Honestly mate just go for the 18s I noticed no change in ride quality what so ever, I was quite surprised as on all other cars where I have upped the wheel size I've noticed a differance.

Yea mate the spacers would add a bit beef and look good but Im a bit sketchy about using spacers for track work, as I've heard too much horror stories about people loosing wheels

Do like the pinstripes. Personally would have gone for painted calipers to match the car. Maybe in black with "GTI" in red outline?
