My GT Sport
« on: July 02, 2013, 10:43:29 pm »
So, I have been floating around here for long enough, I thought I would share what I've been up to........

I bought a Golf GT Sport from Arthur Princes in Loughborough in December 2012 to replace a Leon FR that I simply did not enjoy, "Just like a Golf" it is not.
Here it is the day I picked it up.......



The first thing I did was fit the RNS-510 that I had got originally for the Seat and I thought, that would be that.
Over Christmas I decided to try and update my Firmware/maps in the sat nav, which is when I found this site.
Then I went to R-Tech
Then I bought the LED kit off Matt
Then I bought the Boot Pop kit
Then I bought a mk6 Steering wheel and Cruise Control, Thanks Eddie-NL
Then Highline clocks, Thanks Eddie-NL

My point is, once on, it's a very,very slippery slope!
All the time this was happening I was reading more and more and started developing a plan of upgrades. So the saving and the collection of parts started and now, thanks to Harding Autocare I have them fitted.

Started with this lot......



B12 kit and NQSBBK



Edition 30 Rear Brakes



Squared SC-1's



And the overall effect.....

I've still got a few things to do, and few further ideas but for now I'm good.

Thanks.
They are lovely looking brakes. I actually drove up and collected all the bits from Dave and Jonny myself.....Lovely chaps and very helpful! But you won't buy anything from them if you don't persevere. :wink:
Still have a lot more miles to go before they're bedded in but will comment on their performance soon.

Yesterday I ordered GTi side skirts and the front bib and splitter from the stealers so I guess that'll be next to go on.
Should be here on Friday. Not a bad price either!

Time to fnd that fitting guide and study it thoroughly! :driver:

Thanks.
The Brakes are bedding in nicely but I may go for a rebleed next weekend just in case.
The Bilsteins are just shocks and springs. To be honest I'm a little disappointed with the amount they have not lowered the car as I thought it would be greater. I have to say though the ride and handling are much better.
I'm going to see Alex (AKS) next week to have my S3 swingarms fitted so I will ask his advice.

Looks good! Is the rear lower than the front or is that just the angle?

It's the angle and when I took the picture it had the old wheels and Brakes in the back!
