Lapiz blue Golf R

Been a busy last few weeks. But finally getting to putting this thread up.

So after the edition 30 i've got myself a lapiz blue golf r mk7.

Picked the car up from falkirk on the 19th of december.
Fvwsh.
36k on the clock.
6 month warranty.
5 door.
Sat nav.
Dsg.


Anyway i had already booked it in at volkswagen for an oil change on the 20th of dec, so had that done all good. Somthing didn't feel right as it was wheel spinning alot more than my edition 30 and that was stage 2+ and golf r just didn't feel as planted.

I already had it booked in for a haldex fluid and dsg fluid change and stage 1 apr reflash and dyno on the thursday at ecotune. so i got them to check it out etc. The haldex pump wasn't working hence the wheel spinning. cut a long story short, a bit of messing about with the dealership for a few hours and it finally got sorted, booked back in for the 5th of january.

So through the holidays i got a few other things done....

Eiback pro kit springs fitted 10mm/15mm.
Audi resonator delete kit.
Some alluminium black paddles.
Vinyl strip door guards.
Climair wind deflectors.
Pipercross panel airfilter.
Goluk t1 front and rear dash cams with  parking security mode.

So finally the 5th came so haldex fitted etc and now to the dyno. I wasn't expecting it to get over 360bhp but its final run made 381bhp and 390ftlb which i was suprised about. It was finally getting to drive it with 4wd working i was most looking forward. It's insane just sticks to the road and gets the power down so well.

I've gave it a good wash a few times but within 5mins its dirty again.

Future plans....

First one is a big brake kit or bigger brake discs and pads at least.

Ceramic coating to keep the paint work nice and protected.

Set of oz ultraleggra wheels or pretoria wheels.

Next year stage 2/stage 2+

Needing a clean but here's some pictures.
