Nice!!!! Have you got rid of the TDi then??

Ed30 rear lights...
Looks like bigger than OEM front discs...
Spec and more photos please!!
Congratulations @maxitrol (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=164)
Is it not an R32??
-
It's a r32 on a 08 plate,few thing need sorting out on it
The gttdi will be up for sale
-
Great colour IMO :happy2: Had one of these a few years back and I just looooove the sound of the exhaust/engine :drool:
Looking forward to seeing what you do to it on here!!
-
This one isn't getting much done but we all say that :grin:
Getting lowered on springs and few other bits to tidy up and just going to enjoy it
-
Looks like a beauty :happy2:
-
Gorgeous mate :happy2: just gorgeous :smiley:
Would absolutely love one of these even just for a year or two.
Unfortunately in Ireland they're €1,800 (£1,520) per year in road tax. So it's never gonna happen :sad1:
Enjoy it..... Capristo exhaust anyone :rolleye:
-
:drool:
More pics please.

Totally :surprised:
Ireland is not a good place to try and be an R32 owner :confused:

Congratulations. What's the full spec.
It's a shame that you will be selling your gt tdi, as its one of the best out there, but hey, on to new things :happy2:

Welcome to the proper fuel club Andy, new car looks spot on and I'm sure it won't be long before you've got your own little touches on it.
Will you be transferring your wheels and brakes across? Or looking at bigger and better things??

was thinking about swapping the wheels and brakes over but i am not going to bother as i can drive it how it should be with out worrying to much about the wheels
-
I like it :congrats:
-
Don't lower it! It'll knock the arse out if everything, and anything not loose soon will be :signLOL: Invest in some SuperPro poly bushes all round. Get the fuel filter changed and reset the DSG!
-
£500 road tax :scared:
-
Nice new motor man. I think the wheels from the tdi would suit it :happy2:

The brakes would suit it for sure but after taking the car for a good drive out round country roads just think the 19" bbs will make me drive it more gentle
-
Great motor mate :drool: Fastest colour too :congrats:
-
I think them phase 2 wheels need to go :P
-
I love those wheels........
(I might be a bit biased though cos I have a set in the garage to refurb and fit to my GTI :grin: :grin:)
-
Yeah must admit i like the original wheels think they suit the car
-
Yeah must admit i like the original wheels think they suit the car
Wheels are lovely but because there are so many spokes they'll cover up your inevitable brake upgrades which are even nicer to look at!
-
Keep your CK and fit them to go to shows and gatherings, unless you can sell them for a good price, of course.
Brakes are easily transferred and it's something that any car benefits from. :smiley:
I've fit lowering springs to both my Golfs and I wouldn't have stock springs again. I don't find the H&R -30 mm too harsh for the Ed. 30. The adjustable Konis must help a bit too, since they're set to handle the odd bump on the road. The SuperPro ALK is always a must have.
Other than that and an exhaust you shouldn't need much more done. Good luck and have fun with your V6! :drinking:

lol but they look pretty standard like any other multi spoked wheel compared to the phase 1 set I've had fitted :P
-
lol but they look pretty standard like any other multi spoked wheel compared to the phase 1 set I've had fitted :P
Yeah, they're not the most exciting :smiley:
But I do think they suit the car quite well :happy2:
They're bloody heavy though :surprised:
They'll only be on there until I can afford a set of OZ superturismo Le Mans!!
(Which may in fact be never cos they are soooo expensive :ashamed: :ashamed:)

Really nice looking R32 Andy :drool: will you actually drive this :P ?
I was going to buy a R32 last month but decided on another Edition 30.
I would personally definitely swap the brakes over, it would be a big shame to sell them on the GTTDI, its your decision though bud :happy2:.
-
Yeah will be driving this one more,as to why i don't want to swap my wheels other as i think it will spoil the driveablity of the r32
-
Looks really smart!
Chris
-
If you decide to sell the wheels and brakes off your tdi let me make you an offer.
-
Can see why people say how good the xenon are

-
Agreed! I never went looking for a mk5 with them, they were a bonus. Now, I don't think I would go for a car without them!
Great pic and glad to hear you're enjoying the R32!
-
Brilliant picture :happy2:
-
Lovely car! Worlds apart in note eh? Loved my MK4 and MK5 '33.
Do think you should get the CKs on though! They'll barely affect handling. 19s are optional from from the factory on MK6s and MK7 Rs so can't be that detrimental.
-
Ace shot of the xenons. I had to compromise on them when I bought the car and recently retrofitted some - can't wait to get the shutters hooked up now!!
-
Just seen this.......she's a beauty Andy and great colour too. :notworthy:

How are you finding it over the last car?

Looks awesome Andy! Very clean.
Bet it's totally different having that noise under the loud pedal compared to the diesel :evilgrin:

Yeah sounds bloody awesome,always wanted to put a miltek on but the oem exhaust sounds good,keep finding excuses just to get out and drive it

The r32 with milltek or BCS will sound awesome
Get it done mate
-
Well might be on the list :evilgrin:

Defo get a cat back on it dude! They do sound awesome!
If your finding reasons to go get it out then it's defo a good choice getting it! :happy2:

Calipers looking good :happy2:
What's the flapper mod?
The 2nd exhaust only opens at 3k rpm keep the noise level down but if you remove the vagum pipe the car runs on both from tick over
-
How much is a supercharger? :evilgrin:
About 5k
-
Flapper mod sounds awesome so :happy2:
Don't bother supercharging......
Turbo for the win :smiley: :happy2:
6000$ (£4,625) And you're 350hp easy :happy2:
http://www.hpamotorsports.com/vr6-single.html
-
I had no idea, are we saying...
spend an additional £4625 (plus fitting & "consumables" presumably? call it £5k) and you get a 350HP R32? :surprised:
Glad I brought an Eddy; more - for less! And lighter too... :grin:
You guys must really love that exhaust noise!
-
You guys must really love that exhaust noise!
Have you ever driven one? The noise :party: :party: :party:
-
No R32...
But if you REALLY want noise...I was out in a 4.5 L V8 TVR Chimera last weekend - a convertible too!
That whole car cost less than some of the turbo/supercharger kits on the link you posted.
I'd spend the money on a 4x4 conversion for a 2+ Eddy. I do hope the new owner of #1521, ex-MateyGuv will do that conversion :notworthy:

Get rid of that wiper arm andy. :fighting:
U dont need it. "live my life 1/4 mile a time..." Once your use to a van just having glass is more then enough.
That back off though. Following this thread closer then a catholic school girl out on her 18th bday. :pomp: :pomp:

Same. It's handy to have. Just because you can do a mod doesn't always mean you should and a rear wiper delete isn't that aesthetic in my opinion but each to their own I suppose!

Looking good Andy. I reckon you need some bigger tailpipes, the standard ones always look a bit puny to me.
Supercharger would be nice, but there's just no cheap way of doing forced induction on a n/a car.

It'll sound mega. That's one thing you don't get with a GTI, although I quite like the noise mine makes with lots of boost.
Are you putting the Forge brakes on it then?

if i put the forge brakes on i will have to either put the bbs on and just think it will spoil the driven of the r32 as i will drive it like mrs daisy :signLOL:Just going to lower it on h&r springs and do the exhaust

Fair enough. Although you could always consider getting some nice light 18s in a low offset so you can fit the calipers and keep some comfort. Sell the CKs and you shouldn't be too much out of pocket. They'd be ideal for stopping a heavier car like the R32.
But there's value in keeping things close to OEM I suppose. Just wonder how long it'll be before you get the modding itch and go all out on the R32....
-
Have you considered fitting the Forge BBK and same size size spacers to both axles? That would make your Omanyt clear the brakes and keep the same handling, right? :thinking:
Not sure how much space your Forge BBK require but I thought it's one of the best to fit behind OEM wheels. :smiley:

i sold the orig wheels and brakes so would have to go hunting for more wheels and keeping the r32 as orig as possible,but in sayin all that a super charger might be nice :signLOL:

would need spacers for these wheels and not a fan of spacers
-
I'm also not a fan of spacers, most likely for the same reasons as you and them being illegal in my country. Just a pity that you made the investment on them and now you can't use them in your new car. :sad1:

Sorry to read about the broken spring so early into ownership, but glad to see a nice upgrade! The R looks really good after the springs.
Just one question - how do you get out of the car in that garage?! Through the boot?
-
top end of spring? - probably been sitting or else the new driver brings a more "robust" driving style into the fray :signLOL:
next level? ... camo paint job with gold alloys and then ... rag it around town like a boss ! :driver: .... but seriously... nice car dude!
-
Nice, I'd say new lighter 18s, exhaust and respray lower section of the rear valance...no need for anything else really..!! As we know though once you start it's hard to stop..!!
Sprayed my valance Mini dark metallic silver...makes a big difference...although metallic black would look cool on this..!

Nice and clean. Really must get the Autosol out and sort mine out soon!
Have you decided between res and non res yet Andy? I saw the vids you put up the other day and I must say the non res option sounds mega. Maybe something you need to hear in person before you take the plunge though.

not decided as yet but now having new tips welded on i might just stick with the oem one

I guess I can test if my car really needs the PolarBT or not. I can't remember anymore if I tested the BT module with the PolarFIS Adv. alone and then fitted the PolarBT to make the BT module show in the cluster display. :thinking:

You didnt need the Polar BT I don't think.
Polar FIS does something called BT Emulation. Works perfectly once enabled.

Such a nice car Andy, and that noise could become very addictive.
Can you give me a insight into running costs? I've got a Mk5 GTI at the min, but looking at either an R32 or edition 30 next. The R's are looking to be slightly cheaper and the noise is incredible, but the tuning potential of an Edition30 is also very tempting.
-
Cheers Peter
The running costs are quiet high as the tax is over £500 a year for a late r32 like mine but the early mk5 is £250 of and they do 28mpg on the motor way but eat fuel around town...

I had the same problem and it was the wiring (door harness) that was the problem. I initially tried swapping the tweeter and it made no difference. 2 of the wires in the door harness were slightly cracked so tapped them up and now all good again.

That looks great! Just one question - how on earth do you get the DSG surround out of the console without damaging it?

That looks great! Just one question - how on earth do you get the DSG surround out of the console without damaging it?
the silver surround is clipped in as is the gear selection.i used a very small flat screw driver to push the taps back
-
Thank you Andy - I mean actually getting the whole black plastic base out of the console. Even with trim tools, I can't work it out at the moment. I think I went at it the wrong end last time (near the ashtray), and scratched the trim. Is the best way to pry at the base closest to the handbrake?
It's just the pics I've seen of the disassembled unit show four huge plastic tabs of the DSG lever unit holding the whole assembly into the console, and they look the usual nasty, awkward VW things to release...
-
just feel the edge of the trim where the gaitor wine give it a sharp pull upwards

Great looking car, Andy. :congrats:
I'm curious if the squealing comes from that, usually it's caused by the pad compound.
-
sorry my explanation wasn't clear..The caliper piston was that seized causing tha pad to jam on all the time
-
Ohhh....clear now. :grin:

Looks great Andy. Are there any steps you take when storing it - trickle charger, car cover, etc? I only ask as I joke with my mum about her car - she has an mx5 that only does about 300 miles per year! I tell her it's bad to have a car sitting so long - bad for the tyres, bad for the engine only used on short trips...

New OEM or Lemforder ones.
I had adjustable rose jointed ones years ago and they were absolute sh*te.... Plus, there is no point in having adjustable ones unless you are at the end of travel.

A waste of money IMO unless you really need the adjustability. Ive just done the fronts on mine and used TRW ones.

Hey Andy, I just bought a full set of second hand R32 calipers, I'm going to rebuild them and they need a good paint. Am I right in thinking the colour is RAL 5002, ultramarine blue? If so where did you get your paint from? Cheers
-
Yes this is the correct colour. I have 0.5l of unused high temp RAL 5002 paint I bought to paint calipers carriers but ended up sourcing new painted set so I never used it. If you want to pay for posting I can send it to you. Just PM me if interested.

Hello mate that is the correct colour..
I used this colour

Having decided to change my car speakers and ordered the 17cm ones
Vibe optisound and trying to find a plug and play speaker for the mids it came apparent there isn't one I got in contact with Scr distributors in Skipton and spoke to Pete..
Send my origina oeml speakers to him and he has made the brackets and also took the plugs of the oem speakers and fitted them to the focal ones..
