I do basically have the same air-dam from VwRacing but without the splitter because I won't be able to get the car in the basement anymore :( As for the rear I will go with a Reverie rear wing for about 70kgs of downforce ( chord > 225mm, span > 1400mm). Great project Neil, keep up the good work !

I have never seen a more beautiful Edition 30 in my life.
The splitter and carbon parts on the front are absolutely stunning  :notworthy:

It was £115.00 + P&P, but as FUSCOBAL said be careful if you have to drive on and off a steep incline, I've had to raise the front a bit to get on my drive, and now have 4" clearence at the front as it sticks out quite a bit   :happy2:

....Invest in some good aloooominum ramps like wot I did?:



The biggest problem the Mk5 GTI has to deal with in this respect is the frontal overhang (and for a change I ain't talking about breasts).

£115 for that lower splitter  :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

If so that's a great price for such a good looking mod  :congrats:

Is it carbon look or like a satin black colour?


It's very nice either way Neil  :notworthy:

Rieger  Front Lip Spoiler and Splitter

Looked at a few designs but the Rieger was the only one that looked like it might actually do something.















It may need a few turns on the old KW V3   :wink:




I've just realised that this is the Rieger splitter AND the lower spoiler  :ashamed:

Guess I wasn't paying much attention! I thought it was just the splitter blade piece, and that it just fixed under the eddy spoiler!  :stupid:

Hmmm not sure if the fields at Inters will be splitter friendly  :surprised:

Could you let me know the part numbers and links please Neil?

Few Updates

New CamShaft

65k miles and 2 Cam Followers later, thought it would be a good idea to have a new CamShaft after seeing the state of my CF after just one track day and about 1000 miles.

You can see the damage on the end lobe caused when CF disintegrated previously and hpfp came into contact.  Should have changed it the first time but the Shaft looked OK then, cost  £255 + 3hrs, gaskets , sealant,  @ AMD.








AMD/AS Induction kit with Heat shield

AMD and AS Performance have produced this Induction Kit, looks well thought out, proper heat shield that works well to channel the air through the front grille.

90mm pipe work, 10 colours of Silicone Hose available, with nice smooth flow.

I’ll get some GoPro footage from Goodwood Trackday soon and compare it to the Forge TwinTake I had on before.

Millers Oil

Changed my oil to  Millers Nanodrive CFS 10w 50 NT Fully Synthetic.

They claim, for fast road use or track days, for competition or high performance modified engines. Suitable for all normally aspirated and turbo-charged engines from 2 litres upwards, suitable for operating at 125°C with peak temperatures up to 150°C.
