what tyres are they?

4k isnt that much though, ive only managed 1500 miles in 4 months of owning it, a third of that was driving to and fro mansfield to get it mapped lol.

on a side note have you seen the recent thread on SCn about one of the guys engines melting a piston and damaging the crank due to the injectors not flowing enough, and theres another in the stealers having his changed under warranty i think.  

Apparently there were revised fuel pumps and injectors from the end of 2010, so might be worth a check on yours.

Did you ever get hold of your dyno graph BTW?

No sign of the the graph. Had the car upside down. I,m on the Dyno early July and will be sure to keep hold of that one for you :happy2:. Tyres are Yokohama Spec 2,s.

There are always problems with people blowing engines IMO. I remember all the problems with the mk2 Cupra,s but i never had any with my K1. I,m hoping that VW made their engines a little better than the ones they gave to Seat :wink:.

really loving this car especially the interior! could be doing with a set of 18s under they arches tho to fill them out a bit! if possible change the fogs for the R line led strips at the front! infact the more im talking about this the more im persuading myself to get one of these! might just take the gfs mini for a trade in and swap it for this  :grin: looking forward to seeing more of this car!

Missis is trying to turn my head to one of these as her mate has one. :surprised:

I've seen the stock performance figures, but are there any "seriously" modified cars about (apart from yours!) and what kind of figures can you get from them?

Does it handle well? Is there much aftermarket stuff out there for them?

I'm still wanting an R or an ED35, but my "better" half usually gets her way, so if it would be possible to get one of these to be relatively fast then I may not struggle against her too much. and who knows, I may get an R as well for winter duties :laugh:

All I know so far is that with just a map they make around 200-210bhp on a Dyno Dynamics roller, have DSG as standard and weigh around 1200kg.

Oh, and I do like the look of them over the MKVI Golf, plus 40+mpg would be nice for a change :laugh:

I,m really enjoying mine John. With stage 1 and Milltek TBE it goes really well. VWR will be marketing an Intercooler, Engine mounts, Big brakes, Intake, ARB and suspension once there developed. Ideally i would want an uprated clutch pack before i decide to go stage 2 and/or hybrid turbo as the 7 speed dry clutches have a low torque limiter. INA in Canada are on the case and also will be offering a new hybrid turbo option. A few Golf GT,s in Europe are already running 290ish on there own hybrid turbo option so it is possible.

That is good to hear :happy2:

If I end up going down this route I'd also like to still do some more weight reduction, so....

Lightweight ARBs
OZ Alleggerita's (under 7kg a corner for 8x17's) (blue alloys on a shadow blue car would look good :happy2: )
Lightweight BBK (front and rear)
Lightweight bucket seats up front

These alone should knock the kerb weight down by around 40-50kg.

Haven't seen any carbon bonnets yet :wink:

I'd be happy with 230bhp and 1150kg = 200bhp/ton

The fact that the car is lighter appeals to me too as it should be more "chuckable" with a few suspension mods and less harsh on all the consumable ancilliary parts. :happy2:

290bhp and 1100kg would be awesome, but maybe would get the car back into the "I wish I had more grip" scenario.
