Welcome on board Darren!  :drinking:

Nice looking Eddy you have there. How come its got relatively little torque, you still on the OEM clutch? I know what Nick's like, he'd of had that into the 400's given the chance.

 :happy2:

Yes it's still on the oem clutch I'm trying to decide what clutch to go for also to go single mass ? So many decisions maybe you lot could help me out

I went for a uprated organic Helix clutch and (at the same time) had a new OEM DMF fitted. Pedal feel is next to OEM feel, a tad stiffer with NO cabin noise or clunking that you'll get with the SMF. My Helix is rated to 380ft lb but that's a conservative figure on Helix's part, Nick had my torque up to 420ft lb before bringing it down to a sensible figure.

If your after a new clutch then contact Alex (vRSAlex on here) at AKS tuning as he can supply (and fit if needed) Helix clutches and will be able to advice re SMF or DMF options.

One of the best mk5 I think I've seen look great, loving the bonnet and the alloys. What are them alloys called I've seen them on mk4 golfs before, I know they are from porsche? Everything just goes well together  :happy2:

How does it handle?

Can't fault the bags at all, feels as good as coilovers. Airlift do 2 types for mk5s the performance or slam. The slam struts don't come with an anti roll bar link, would be interesting to see how they handle.

As of getting a build thread going I will look into doing it the weekend
