Black MK5 GTi AKA The Rabbit

[J14RKL]

Bought this car of a well know forum member in December.
Its well known for being a bit of an animal 

Previously owned by James, build thread www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,43854.0.html

First thing i had done was all the paint work sorted out.


After this i started looking for some new wheels (wheel whore :) )
And i found some


And new Rubber :)

But silver is so boring so i had them redone and the result, well its a bit like marmite...
But they have a habbit of winning people over. They grow on everyone.



Next up was making the car a nicer place to be, im a massive fan of in car audio. High end stuff, nothing from halfrauds
So i sound deadend the front doors



More updates on the audio will be coming up. For all of you guys who, like me, enjoy good audio the equipment will be.
Hybrid audio L8's, L3's and L1 pros ran active

2 Us amps AX-TU600C and AX-TU1000C tube amplifiers for the Doors

AA Mayhem 12" and A Us amps AX3200 on bass duties.

Now, back to the Power 
First up was a new intercooler set up due to the THS being known to have flow issues after 380bhp
Curtasy of Rich At dynodaze custom works.





Second was a new exhaust system due to, yet again, the R32 back box not flowing very well past 380bhp
Done by Dean at RW Developments
Full 3", unlike the milttek that goes down to 2.75 at some point.
V-Bands








Then it went back to its second home
Rich at dynodaze fitted a TTRS LPFP and a 155bar FRV for me


Niki put a Base map on it to make sure all the new mods were safe.
So now its only 380/380, On a BASE map lol!
But it has Launch control and NLS, which is almost too much fun!

I will try and update this as stuff happens.

Looks nice at the rear mate

Not quite sure on the blue wheels or the 3 spokes in general.
But performance wise, spot on!

You need to show me the launch control next time I spot you lol

Liking the new audio and performance mods. Can it actually put the power down with the launch control?

Not on the road, just sits there Bashing the hard cut and making loads of noise.
I'll find out what it does on the strip soon.

Mate, I'm really interested to hear about the launch control and NLS as my motor is in for mapping with R-Tech really soon!

Speak to niki about it. It can be bad for the engine if abused though.

NLS is definatly worth getting though. Sounds like a dsg through the gears.

No Lift Shift, So flat shifting, not sure exotically what he does. Just a hard cut kinda thing so you can keep your foot down when changing gear.

[Bignod00]

Ahhhh, thought it was pal just wanted to make sure......Sounds tempting tho! :)

[Wash]

Pikey with the 500bhp golf crunched his gearbox before he sold it, not sure it was because of the power or what but he mentioned NLS as possibly being a cause?

[UTSI]

nice setup, what turbo are you running, k04 hybrid? Will you be able to extra power by running TTRS in tank pump and 155psi FRV? i thought the RS4 valve were good enough..

[J14RKL]

Standard K04-064

The car has ran 404bhp before but was running out of fuel due to the standard LPFP, the TTRS one is a well know upgrade to flow much better then standard. 155bar FRV will allow much more headroom.
