Woah haha,
takes me back to the days when i had a focus ST miss that sound!
-
brutal focus :laugh: :drool: :notworthy:
-
Wow that focus is sexy
-
WOW... What a nice focus that is :drool: :drool:
Nice looking Eddie too!
-
Ooooffffft ! I went from an edition 30 to a mk2 focus rs then back to the edition 30!
Got to say the focus was a better car IMO, what mods have you got planned for the edition 30 ?
How are you liking the eddy compared to the RS then ?
I think you'll struggle to match the eddy to the rs even with a load of mods though. If that's what you are looking for anyway !

Can I ask why you changed back to an Ed30 if the Focus RS is that good? :confused:

Because my roof needed repaired, to the tune of 3.5k

Do you like points of your licence?
I'm guessing this is a show plate only and not for the road?
-
sorry officer! usually get a £60 fine from experience, never really had much hassle on previous cars allthough this one is abit smaller then usual but ill give it ago

From experience? :signLOL:
Ok , although it looks great but I wouldn't dream of leaving that on without risk of fines etc
-
had a fine or 2 over the years from previous small plates but never points :smiley:
i agree the golf does look good with a smooth grille.. ill risk it for awhile and see what happens it dont get used much so might be okay for awhile lol
-
i dont think its an endorsable offence but if persistant the dvla can withdraw the registration.....
-
It's a non endorsable £60, but many traffic plod I know will take a photo of repeat offenders and they go to the DVLA

I didn't know you could remove the oil cap neck. Looks so much better. Is it easy to do?
-
Very nice edition! Couple of questions if you don't mind? Front plate looks so much better? Where's it from? What have you wrapped the intake piping in? Looks amazing? And +1 for the oil cap neck info.. Sorry for all the questions :) thanks in advance.. Craig.
-
cheers people
the plate was from a company online called zoogle i think..
the intake is wrapped in dei gold heatwrap available from demon-tweeks
and the oil cap neck.. just take your oil cap off put a clean cloth in and i just gave the kneck a tap with a set of heavy mole grips/light tap with a hammer etc
Cheers

Looks great! That's quite enough work for one Saturday! :party:
-
Cheers and it sure was! twintercooler hose was a pain in the ass
-
Woah, you have been busy! :congrats:
Good work - worrying fitment on that hose, but glad to see it trimmed up ok.
Would be grateful if you can put up a vid at some point - really wondering if to put a milltek on my ED30 or not. I think I will, but not sure if full system or just the catback.
I did it in stages on my old mkiv - fitting the DP was quite noticeable in performance, whereas fitting the catback first just gave it a bit of voice (well needed on the 1.8t).
Think yours must sound quite throaty now :smiley:

Looks great soo far.

Nice work!

Looking good mate!

I had the same Issue with the drivers side intercooler hose, trimmed to get it on, unfortunately it started to pop off on full load at track days however tight the clip was. In the end got another one from Forge £60!! It has a small kink in it, (not as much as yours would have been) seems to run OK though.
When you on Track Pikey?? I'm at Goodwood on the 30th March :happy2:

Looks sweet is the forge valve a loud one

so do forge know of this issue and there is a different pipe mate? its a bit of a p*ss take really.. i knew there was some trimming involved but shouldnt expect it from forge really
and nothing sorted yet mate.. more interested in getting it sorted over the next few months untill summer.. and then will probaly just do my local castle combe :smiley:
-
Looks sweet is the forge valve a loud one
its not the atmoshperic one mate but the flutter is very loud combined with the ITG know
-
im amazed at how much better the car pulled after i put the twintercooler on though.. still running on standard map to

Im almost certain thats partially placebo.
-
100% it pulls harder.. possibly could have been a leak on a old hose i dont know..
-
Hasn't the weather got a he'll of a lot colder recently :-P
-
My Forge hoses fitted equally as bad if not worse, took us an hour to get it correct. :fighting: I think they allow for cars with things fitting in slightly different positions but still! it is a comedy hose. :stupid:
I would also add that my car was faster after fitting, the acceleration was crisp and felt at least 10 BHP faster certainly noticeable enough to discount placebo effect.

Little update
Had the car up at TSR Performance today for REVO Stage2 held off 2+ untill i got the southbend clutch and already i seem to be getting a small amount of slip on the motorway on the way back in 6th.. but it seems okay through the gears at the moment

Looks good mate :happy2: ... if you ever sell the front splitter for a rieger 1st dips on the ed30 one :happy2:
-
i will be getting one soon mate will let you know when i got it :happy2:
-
I can well believe about the performance... Coupled with a DSG gearbox, its even quicker
-
Awesome work mate, coming on nicely! I really need to get some description of a front mount or twintercooler on my ed30, its running stage 2+ revo, BCS full powervalve with 100cell cat, auto tech HPFP internals, Forge CAI, RS4 return valve amd a stanadard clutch (with no slip yet really apaert from the odd hesitation). Is the fitting pretty easy other than the hose problem? tempted to go for a THS front mount. Also needing to get an ITG and get rid of the Forge CAI :driver:

My hose was the exact same as a few people have stated... It does say that the hose will need to be cut to size. They are quite tricky but not that bad to be honest . Just need to make small cuts at a time to make sure you dont cut to much away.

Dream car!!

Lovely car mate! very nice indeed. Where do you get your BSH stuff in the UK? Do you know of a UK supplier?
-
Great looking car mate :happy2:

Been away for awhile so havent got much done up untill now.. when i got back i had some parcels waiting for me so have been busy the last couple of days
When i had revo stage 2 setup i began to get clutch slip straight away.. so went for this badboy
Southbend stage 3 drag clutch and SMF 560+ ft-lb rating.. a little snappy and on/off but can see it being more than upto a job when revo stage 4 starts!!

Oh dear! What's happened to number 3 piston??
Some serious damage there.. :scared:
Cylinder head needs re-skimming too
spark plug electorde snapped off mate im after a new cylinder head
-
You must have spent a fortune thus far.....I'd personally be looking for 4WD at the levels of a GT30.!!
Nice build thread though.
For me APR Stage 2+ on a properly set up chassis does the trick but power does corrupt. Stage 3 is a little too much at 400bhp on a FWD car.
How the engine build goes ok.....how come it went bang.....mapping??
-
more chassis mods to come allthough it wont be 4wheel
they put the power down ok when setup well.. i will have a similar setup to jonnyc and that put the power down suprsingly well.. no doubt its a huge amount of power through the front wheels though
-
Well managed to sort a new cylinder head today as was recommended not to repair mine running this kind of power!
now to decide on ferrea or supertech valves.. :happy2:
and good news the block is fine to hone out 0.50mm
so thats abit of stress relief :smiley:
-
Good news!
Will be a monster.
Will you be tracking it?
-
:) yes I will be next season mate possibly even audi driver at Combe in october
-
got the block back today :happy2:

+1 matey, I was drooling over the TSR stuff too, I'm watching this space! ;)
-
good bunch of people down there and know there stuff :)
took me along time to decide who to do the build.. chatted to atleast 7 tuners who wanted to do it!
thinking about a colour scheme under the bonnet.. and maybe the odd bit on the exterior.. but on a red car is hard not to go either red or black..
been thinking few small yellow touches on the exterior and yellow valve colour and few touches under the bonnet? what you reckon peeps

Yeah they are a good bunch matey, went out for a few beers with them @ GTI International. :drinking:
With regards to the colour scheme I know what you mean about being hard to stray away from Red/Black. I think the idea of some Yellow touches would be nice though! :drool:

will wipe the floor with it in a straight line.. a well sorted k04 can even give a 425+ RS a hard time..

Cover looks great. You seen the billet versions available?
Headbolts rather than studs? Keep studs on the shelf.

Yes mate might get the billet cover at a later date when I do hep manifold.. I meant studs mate, I'm going to give you a call soon for that rs3 lpfp though :)

Give that guy his cash back if you havent already, its no nice doing that, its no big and its no clever.

Cant be assed with people who are trying to sort out a disagreement involving you supposedly taking £170 of another members hard earned cash?
Nobody knows the truth bar you 2, but to me that looks more like you cant prove you refunded him.
For f*ck sake mate, sort it out and move on. We're all meant to help each other out on forums like this.
Running and hiding is a guilty plea in my book.
Youve got an awesome looking motor, im sure everyone including me would like to see its progress, but on the other hand we have to sort out issues between users or it will never be a friendly forum?
Nobody wants enemies, just a fair and peaceful forum with helpful and honest people!?

theres alot of chassis work to come and can cope supringly good when setup well.. big turbo cars deliver the power alot more progressive than a k04

handling not aswell but the golf only has minimum chassis mods
speed much quicker then the rs even when it was only using 1.2bar with 2.0bar i cant imagine what it will pull like
yes will be fitting a diff, widerwheels/arches, r888 and more over the winter ready for next year

just picked up a nice daily so things can get a lil more mental on the gti now :happy2:

I want an S3 now lol what's it like then. Defo looks the part. The haters on audi forum wrong then ;-)

its nice mate really clean and smooth full service history and various reciepts! cant fault it apart from the wheels rubbing on the back its spot on done about 250miles in it so far as was quite a drive back and all good so far
-
Surely the big power build would be better in the S3 though? Although crazy wheelspin may be your thing? :grin:

i would say theres less wheelspin than a k04.. the haldex isnt really needed imo on the road ive had 2 s3's now and would choose the gti.. but yeah ofcourse its better for straight line rolling speed where as the s3 is to heavy and im not really into crazy track racing or doing the time attack lol

Do it hurdy. "Man" turbos!!!!!! :wink:

i tend not to get to uptight with dyno number yes its nice to have a good result on paper and im pritty sure it will do 500hp-520hp with a boost controller and without meth aslong as it can put it down on the dyno.. i will put it back on though when it has its final setup
all i know is its alot faster than an m6 and c63 with performance package at 1.5bar so its doing something right lol :drinking:

Although every standard car reads about right (I'm not going to start the Dyno accuracy debate here :ashamed:)
Would be good to see a comparison from your local trusted dyno and JKM's though Pikey :happy2:

ahh i thought they read abit low but doesnt necessarly mean there more accurate does it lol?
and yes it would be nice to compare and would make you feel more confident with the numbers if there even on different sets of rollers, but again if your happy with it on the road :happy2: watever the car made on a different set i dont think i would be to bothered to be honest, on the road its an animal and im 100% happy i done it.. i just cant wait to start on some chassis work and for the show season/summer

its not something whats really bothered me at the moment.. to be honest the chassis setup is pritty minimum at the moment and the weathers poor.. with a good setup and r888 i think it wouldnt be to bad in the summer
plus 4X4 is heavy for those in gear pulls :smiley:.. but maybe at somepoint i might consider it in the future

Cheers mate, yeah that's the plan I got some sparco evos going in! Then cage it! Maybe a flocked dash! And I haven't decided what I'm going to do with paintwork yet on the inside..

Just recieved SteveP's cage out of his old mk5 track car
dont know how amazing these half cages are for safety.. but it will serve some well needed purpose's!
1. I can mount the harnesses properly
2. I could do with some weight put back in the rear of the car to balance it out
3. Stiffen the rear up
4. Looks sick
5. Good place to mount a gopro

:happy2:
Ive called off having the inside sprayed for another week now as some welding needs to be done in order to fit the cage first
Will be getting powder coated.. but havent decided what colour yet.. im having the inside sprayed red and have been thinking about doing the cage white with red harnesses as theres some white trim on the seats and white gauges etc and i will lose the bits of yellow on the outside.. change the yellow decals for white ones etc? or do the cage red aswell, any other suggestions?
-
I like the white cage, red harness idea :happy2:
-
yeah im kinda feeling that the most mate
-
Without going through your thread again....were you on a normal GTI engine before the stock rods and pistons were upgraded?
-
White or a light grey for the cage, but keep the red inside.
-
Without going through your thread again....were you on a normal GTI engine before the stock rods and pistons were upgraded?
Its an ED30 so BYD, so basically the same as the CDL, but the CDL has the revised pistons that only work with revised rods. Which sucks if you want to buy a single piston for a BYD as you have to buy 4 rods and 4 pistons!
I do 21mm pinned rods that fit the CDL pistons.

Lovely spec. :happy2:
I dropped my spec into the first post and keep adding as I go along. Saves hunting through the thread for the last list. :happy2:

Cheers :smiley: when i think about it i still got a fair amount to do, but we cant all do it at once.. only had the car a year lol
I will check your spec list mate.. looking forward to seeing your big turbo build progress and seeing your figures with your turbo choice

Lovely spec. :happy2:

I think John is suggesting that's what you do. When the thread turns into a 100 page monster it's easier for everyone to see the full spec in the first post :happy2:
Love this car by the way :drool: :drool:
-
2 things on that spec list doesn't belong IMO
KW Coilovers, replace them with some Bilstein for much better control
Michelin PS3, they have no way near the grip needed for this setup, at least get the PSS, if not Yoko AD08 or similar
-

Why do you not like the KW's mate? i have been thinking of changing for bilstein actually but not to convinced i will see a worthwile gain really?
yeah tyres will be changed and will run 888' or a048, i came from SS to ad08 on my mk2 rs and didnt like them atall, tyre seemed very hard aswell, although i did drop to an 18" at the same time i changed but cant see that making a huge difference? strange one as they seem to get brilliant reviews
-
Awesome car mate, looking forward to some new video's :happy2:
-
Sounding amazing.
Any pics of winglets and mirrors?
Simon

If you were going to change coilovers it should be for the AST's not bilsteins!

KW V3 height adjustment of fiberinforced plastic is a huge mistake, you can only adjust in damp and rebound with the coilovers off the car and the ride is quite harsh compared to the Bilsteins. If the focus is very much track and not that much road i would also consider AST as suggested, but not if the road fills more than 60% then i say the Bilsteins fill the requirements better than AST. All is IMO of course.
Bilstein over the KW will see the car transformed, believe me :happy2:
SS i rate over the AD08 so i have the same impression as you :smiley:

A revo decal i fitted today.. im all for big decals on cars, but im not really to sure on it.. i went out just aminute ago with the hairdryer to rip it off, but looked at it again and thought i would leave it for a moment.. might look better if i get rid of the white sticker clashing with it on the rear window! what you think? keep or get it off?

That VWR badge must have cost at least 2 mill? :signLOL:
You need some nicer number plates. Get some pressed plates from TSR.

I think the tailgate transfer will give the bloke behind something to focus on. Ha ha.
My money's on whoever is training out on the gym gear and polishing those motors - both look the business :happy2:

haha its going mate i dont like it lol :grin: the radio delete needs wrapping again anyway as was a old piece of vinyl i found
funny you should say that as i should have one turning up tomorrow! what you think of the rear sticker?
-
My Rtech stage 2 DSG ed30 matches one of those amg63's on the road, so I'm sure your eddy would leave it for dust underway, maybe not of the line though :grin:
Decals give more bhp... :happy2:
-
Someone did get a little cheeky in one a few months back when I was only using 1.2bar and he did get a shock lol! This one is running amg performance pack and an exhaust! Im pritty sure the eddy would still show it up easy though lol
-
Not sure on the Revo sticker. Its a great sticker, just not sure it looks right. Might be a grower.
-
same mate i think its a cool sticker just not sure on how it looks on the car.. going to remove the sticker in the window and maybe get the bottom part of the rear bumper done in black might look better then

I've run Bilstein's and KW's.
The KW Clubsports are superb and give a great combination for road and track and are a step up from the B16's...much better than the V3's.
-
Tom's done a nice job at TSR then?
Know him well when he was a young lad working with Tim and Graham Scott.....they built my 16V track mobile.
How are you finding all of that power with FWD?? Do you use the car as an everyday car?
Any plans for Castle Combe or other tracks??
I was deliberating what to do with my Ed30....stage 2 or more or just sell and go 4WD something like a B8 S4 and go stage 2 or maybe RS4 but I do like the new S3 or Golf R and their tuning potential.

i have decided on the clubsports mate :happy2:
Tom has done and excellent job mate.. couldnt be without him with this car and really local to me aswell
tbh its not that bad but i havent tracked it yet so couldnt really say, in a straight line it hooks up well and does take off.. but its not running full power still yet and no lsd or 888's when its on the road next it will have a better chassis setup
its not an everyday car just a toy.. but i have faith this setup would be quite reliable in a road car as an everyday if you wanted to
and it should be at combe a fair bit this summer

I have a used set of clubsports here for sale. Fronts have just been rebuilt at KW at the cost of £450! They are the VWR spec clubsports.

On my second set of Clubsports. Had a set in my old Ed30 for over two years with no problems....they were brilliant hence why UI went for a second set in my latest Ed 30. Big step on from V3's.

Couple of mods
Something a little different on a mk5 i havent seen before, fitted my winglets properly and bumper cannards.. should look very racecar when the spa f1 mirrors are on :grin:

Cheers mate, how did mapping go at r-tech with your car
They didn't do it, they started but didn't get anywhere due to the inlet cam being out of time so I fetched it back got it sorted now and luckily there's no damage and it's fine but I'm waiting to get another slot but it's going to aks on the 19th April for the 4wd wiring and a polar box so I'm aiming around May now.

Lol I went fishing for a few nights and couldn't be bothered to phone Demon tweeks to change! By the time I got back the parcel was waiting at the post office for me! Is there really been that many failures with the whiteline?

Only a few that I've read of (mine included) but side by side the SP is better quality.

I was made aware of a harder 'motorsport' version around a year ago, but never accepted their offer of a few free sets to try. Maybe that is what you have?

On your car it would be worth getting the front bushes, the ball joints and some alloy S3/Cupra/Passat arms.
I thought you would have had the whole chassis stuff done by now.

Yeah mate chassis mods are minimal but I am working on it now.. Just been looking for some arms but can't find any

Quaife LSD
Clutchmaster fx725 race clutch
Forge quickshifter
Various powerflex black motorsport bushes
Should be interesting.. Really looking forward to this along with the sparco seats and being fully stripped since last time it was on the road.. Going to be fun getting back in the drivers seat :) Debating whether to set the wotbox up or not anyone using one?

Is this still front wheel drive? If so..
What's that like through the front wheels..
Given I read that the BT is somewhat more linear than KO4?
Just got the Nortech kit twitch for my manual Ed30..already done clutch/diff/Ohlins coilovers/linear throttle etc etc.
But was wondering..and pondering.
Suppose the Red Temptress was 400+hp and fwd wasn't it?

Great updates are happening by the sound of it - really want to hear your thoughts on the diff, once it is in.
Will you be doing any trackdays in this, this year? Give me a shout if you ever go to Donington - another car mad mate of mine lives close, and we'd always be up for a day out!

just a couple more pics of the turbo kit, for anyone interested in going big power.. everything included complete bolt on solution.. nothing needs fabricating no boost pipes etc and a k04 downpipe would fit so no custom downpipe needed! Gone are the days when it was a big job fitting lhd turbo kits, where everything had to be fabricated from scratch to make it fit

Looking good there. :happy2:

Is this yours for sale or just your new kit?
Stock internals are okay with big turbo stage 3 aren't they? It's only stage 4 which requires forged block?

If you are thinking of The Cupra/S3/ED30 stage 3 then yes stock internals are fine if you tune it right, i have 489bhp and 546Nm on stock Cupra BWJ engine atm, but as my car started as a stock GTI and therefore K03 from the factory i am running a stage 4 map which compares to the stage 3 of Cupra/S3/ED30 :happy2:
-
That's good news then mate, thanks for clearing that up yeah I have a ed30 for my block will be spot on for big turbo set up :driver:
-

Its the kit ive had on for awhile now mate just got some better pics of the full kit
Stage3/4 can be run on the stock motor just depends on what boost etc how safe its going to be personally i wouldnt run 480-500hp on a standard engine but i do drive my car hard and it will see track, what hp is safe on the stock engine i dont know tsr are testing the kit with stage 4 on a standard cupra k04 engine at the moment
-
I would only go up to 450 bhp maximum on stock block but that Is quite away for me yet as got other bits that have more priority at the moment, like clutch :signLOL:

Alex was saying that the BT Revo maps are very old. Has your map been tweaked by Revo to get the most out of your setup?

Yeah its a new map now will be testing for the first time with hard cut limiter etc.. Tbh though the old ones did the job and made good smooth power, not alot has changed since jonnyc days in terms of big turbo hardware.. Im looking forward to inters need to sort some slicks

I wont have a chance up the 1/4 mile from a dig! Rolling start would be interesting though :driver:

Rolling start would definitely give a stripped out fwd car the edge for sure if running the same power levels. :driver:
Like you say, from a dig I'd be gone unless those slicks you are after are drag radials. :wink:

What size discs on the AP's? 365mm? If so then 18's should still fit.

Yeah got 18's on it now mate with the AP's but hoping to get sonething smaller to fit the drag slicks but think its a no go
-
17's are the minimum you can fit with the OEM+ S3 rotors, so I doubt very much 16's and AP's will fit. :scared:

Koni Str.t suspension kit with super pro bushes, a ton of cleaning products and a scope for the 22 rifle :signLOL:

not at all, especially when i asked for my £8.95 next day delivery back or at least chuck something else in that i mentioned for good will :rolleye:

but the lpfp controller problem is worst now.. done some logging and its working flatout and shutting down in 4th now instead of 5th, will be trying a later revision controller and a ttrs controller today
-
Just saw this on FB......fingers crossed you get everything sorted! :happy2:
-
Cheers mate :smiley:
-
Is it TSR doing the map upload & logging?
2.0+bar must be awesome :driver:
What figures are you expecting?
-

Yeah mate.. And not to sure done 480 with 1.5bar, 2.0 bar i would imagine possibly 520-530ish without wmi.. But anything over 500 is a bonus really i will be happy with a true 500hp in a fwd stripped mk5
-
Good work so far. 480 at 1.5bar is a very good figure. Just be careful your throttlebody doesn't get snapped at 2bar plus like mine did! :scared:
-
Cheers mate.. Not sure which revision tb i have maybe worth changing soon
-
Have the exact same issue with mine at 2bar. 4th gear 120mph complete shutdown, mega annoying. Very interested in how you solve this issue.
Cheers, stevie. :happy2:
-
Yes mate there seems to be a few with the issue when pushing the ttrs pump with a big turbo seems okay on k04 cars though.. Where going to be building a lpfp controller in the next few days to solve it just waiting for some parts

I'm still running my 200bhp AXX LPFP controller, no issues related to that so far, fingers crossed :smiley:
-
Bit of a lucky dip by the sounds..
-
I have usp lpfp setup and it's still the same as everyone else using the ttrs. I read garage midnight have the same issue with their mk5 at 580bhp.
Hopefully an easy fix.
Stevie.
-
Yeah i have heard there having the same problem or where he didnt seem to say alot about it to me.. Dont think theres any difference between usp and ttrs or is there? Im hoping we can sort it easily to as its not something what can be annoyed really.. If not im going to try the new apr setup
-

Stevie.
Ive yet to see a RR graph for that car... and ryan isnt that forthcoming.
Is this the fuel cutting out at high speed issue? What does Alex make of it?
-
I thought the same..
And its a controller related issue.. The controller is overheating and shutting down
-
Luckily I didn't suffer this today but didn't get over 115mph, Blyton is a small circuit.
-
I haven't seen a graph or spec but I don't pay it too much attention. Mine has probably done it 8 or 9 times now and every time I look at the speedo it's at 120mph exact same place each time. I am a bit happier now I have found other people with the same issue. Not sure what Alex thinks of the problem.
Stevie.
-
Has anyone logged the pumps at that speed to see whats going on?
-
When running 1.2bar it did it now and again.. 1.5bar usually in 5th around 140ish.. With 2.0bar its doing it in 4th now just before the redline..
Apr where supplying the ttrs pump with there gtx28 kit but found the issue later on after they released the kit.. They advised all customers to come in and change to the oem lpfp and a revised map to suit while they worked on a lpfp solution which they released a month or so ago now
-
Has anyone logged the pumps at that speed to see whats going on?
tsr have been logging mine on the dyno yesterday
-
Not on mine. Didn't manage that speed during mapping. A revised map would be handy instead of forking out another wad of cash on lpfp system. Do you run meth, will meth help?
-
When it's happened is it easy to clear / reset or does it bugger the car for a while?

Im yet to test it properly with the new setup with full power the lpfp issue has stopped it from being setup
Previously with 1.5 bar and a basically stock chassis it wasnt to bad but it was still a handfull and needed work.. I will be doing some proper aero soon with wide wheels etc

No we didnt try one mate ttrs one is expensive so testing this first.. But maybe changing lpfp completly not convinced its that good the pressure drop is huge even with 12v and no controller

Mental! :evilgrin:
-
Is it cutting out when you come to a stop aswell or just at high mph ?
-

Pm'd you dude ! :happy2:

I want you to test it with a Loba or APR HPFP.
A K04 car here had the issue when he hit 170 mph. I swapped the Autosh*te for a Loba and it pulls past the 170mph mark fine now.

That rules the controller out then. The Nortech kit I did on the K1 a few months back never had any fuel cut issues or pressure drops.

ill pm you the same msg Al mate ! :P

With revo software and what boost? Its worst as the boost goes up for me
-
How far can the latest rev GTI LPFP go power wise?
-
How far can the latest rev GTI LPFP go power wise?
Tsr are running there stock one in the leon atm with low boost on there gtx turbo kit and its fine with no problems.. It will supply enough for k04
Also refitted my standard lpfp and the issue with it cutting out is gone.. But its just not capable with the power turned up
-
Just been speaking to someone else who was running hybrid turbo with ttrs lpfp and was getting the same problem at 150ish mph.. He was running a r-tech map and they changed to normal lpfp and was fine upto 400hp
Seems like these pumps are no good really on some cars.. Hearing more and more people having problems
Hopefully its an easy fix with controller

I have been told that Alex, its an expensive test though at £600 or however much they are. What is the difference between autosh*te and loba to do away with the issue?
Cheers.
-
The loba pumps do run more fuel, more than the requested... :wink:
-
I was running a TTRS pump with a LOBA HPFP and it was cutting out at speeds.
It just seems luck of the draw to me.
-
I maybe have the issue bit haven't done over 120mph since fitting ttrs pump :ashamed:
-
Cheers for the reply Scopes. I have just had mine mapped for the ferrea valvetrain and nothing was picked up my graph was very good.
Bit of a pain in the tits if you want to run 30-130 and it cuts out at 120mph lol.
Do you run meth pikey?
Stevie. :drinking:

If there is not a cure for the problems there will be a lot of ttrs pumps up for sale, sooner rather than later :signLOL:

I maybe have the issue bit haven't done over 120mph since fitting ttrs pump :ashamed:
Was fine past 120 mph for me. :jumpmove:

Sone cars its happening around 150 when i was running lower boost it was higher speed

Cheers for the reply Scopes. I have just had mine mapped for the ferrea valvetrain and nothing was picked up my graph was very good.
Bit of a pain in the tits if you want to run 30-130 and it cuts out at 120mph lol.
Do you run meth pikey?
Stevie. :drinking:
No meth atm mate

Sound like someone needs to hire a dyno for a few hours and see what going on in a safe controlled environment.

Its been on a dyno we think its the controller for the 5th time lol

What did you say it was again??? :P

I have usp lpfp setup and it's still the same as everyone else using the ttrs. I read garage midnight have the same issue with their mk5 at 580bhp.
Hopefully an easy fix.
Stevie.
Ive yet to see a RR graph for that car... and ryan isnt that forthcoming.
Is this the fuel cutting out at high speed issue? What does Alex make of it?

Any predictions as to what this car will do a quarter mile??
Will it make it into the 11's or spin it's wheels up?
-
I briefly spoke with rob and i didnt quite take it all in what they had done.. Will get more info tomorrow when i see him in person
-

Not expecting 11's.. Quite a big target with fwd on road tyres.. aslong as i get a decent terminal speed i will be happy, Hoping the shifting problem is also sorted with the new clutch havent road tested it yet
Not really sure what to expect, dont have much experience up the 1/4
-
It'll be fine. Just keep up shifting until the wheelspin goes away! :driver: :wink:

Do you get out of 4th on the strip john? Whats shakespeare like compared to pod?
-
I want to see more video's. I loved them videos down that quite road with tunnel, so you can hear all that sexy turbo flutter :driver: :driver:
-
Will get some very soon mate! The external wastegate dump pipe is not as loud with the boost up now though :(

What tyres you running. I would take 10 psi out the fronts as well.
-
Michelin ps3's and yeah will drop the pressure on them mate
-
not the best tyre for the power your running IMO and will be terrible for the strip.
You need to seriously consider upping the grip to some Toyo R1R, Federal 595 RSR or Pilot Supersports IMO. or you could step it up further to some proper semi slicks but they are loud and dont last as long.
-
Drag radials.

This, exactly, sh*te tyres for the car ps3's, they are good for a 200bhp stock mk5 gti, but your car is in another league.

Put it this way my stock tyres on my fabia would spin up its wheels at the strip all the way into 4th. I put the Federal 595 RSR on and it barely wheelspan in 1st.
-
Yeah they do need changing asap definetly not upto the job, been on there since running 300ish and car just havent had much use so they have lasted ages... Will put 888s or 048 on soon.. I was going to buy the 595's but heard there having some problems splitting across the tyre on track, how you liking yours
-
I've done a fair amount on track with them as has mike and Hurdy. No issues at all.
-
It'll be fine. Just keep up shifting until the wheelspin goes away! :driver: :wink:
Do you get out of 4th on the strip john? Whats shakespeare like compared to pod?
Yes, easily. Shakespeare is slower than the Pod :sad1:
Still hopefully get 10's though as long as.......stays dry, isn't 30+C and hasn't got a 30mph headwind.
FWD guys struggle more off the line at SCR than the pod too.
-
Federals did have an issue when they first came out with splitting across the seam, but mine were fine and Federal resolved the issue. The 595's also were very stable on track and didn't go off as quickly as the R888's did.
-
Not getting my hopes to high then lol..
Ok mate may consider the federals again then
-
You guys run the federals all year round or just summer tyres,I can't afford another set of winter/summer tyres so would like an all year round tyre but struggle getting the power down sometimes with f1assy 2's on

cheers mate..
yeah its all going need to sort out the radio blank and make something else as not ligning up very well
-
hows she feel :party: :party: :party:
Feels great mate just need some better tyres asap! its only peaking 1.8bar and is tailing off more then it should, still more to come and boost controller needs fine tuning
but not going to have time to do it before inters no power run yet either

Last hole to the bar is stiffest :happy2:
the hole closest to the bend in the bar (ie the inner hole) is the stiffest. The further out you go the less torque required to bend the bar. think 12" and 6" adjustable, always easier to bend or turn something with more leverage.

Just over 7500 now keeping it safe.. Had a pritty sh*t day at inters today clutch pedal is sticking down and releasing really slow, u can see it a little in the vids above when i change gear the car revs before the clutch comes up but was alot worse today

Stevie.
-

What slave cylinder did you use with the Southbend?
That's how the pedal on my old R went before it gave up - slave cylinder had gone pop and contaminated the clutch too.
So I'd check the slave cylinder for leakage too if you can before it ruins your clutch.

Standard one and a standard one just went in a week ago with the fx725
-
Well tryed it on the drive earlyier and was still sticky..
Thought i would take it for a drive and i felt it loosen up after a short while, Its instant now gear changes are really agressive and it seems to stay on the powerband much much better now and better to control pulling away, from day 1 it felt a little sticky but didnt think much of it! But then got worse to the point where i knew there was a problem! Possibly just needed some miles on the clutch? Hopefully it stays ok!

the ttrs pump runs constant full chat when fitted to 2.0tfsi, i have a switch under the throttle now so only comes on, on full throttle. I couldnt really help anymore then that would need to speak to tsr, runs well now though no flatspots atall or cutting out like i had in the past with this pump

Have just read this from start to finish after seeing you stick it on the evo forum, what a car and you must have chucked some serious cash into it, can this put the power down at all from a standing start? Once rolling I bet it embarrasses a lot of expensive cars

From a start no it cant with hi boost, it does handle it through the twisties though with a smooth foot and once you learn to drive big power through the front wheels.. Its v quick once in 4th and above as a 458 italia found out last night lol

I was a bit shocked to see this on eBay last night… Then again after recently going in an 8 and a 9 GT I understand the want for an Evo! :driver:
-
Its just seeing if anythings out there really i wouldnt sale it yet not for peanuts anyway.
Ive had an offer on a gt35 strokered 8 but it aint special enough.. Would take a very good one for me to do it with the little use the ed30 has had and it takes much more hp to keep up with a gti
-
Thought i would try a forge supersize out!

Things huge in person
-
I run the supersize on my s3 and runs very well with it. Any advantage of "upgrading" to turbosmart? Any reason you fitted the forge?
Cheers, Stevie.
-
I havent run a turbosmart mate? I run the original tfsi forge recirc before but always wanted to try this.. Going to log some pulls tonight see how the boost graph is now
-
would like to see or hear if theres any benefit of this over standard dv m8
-
It didnt agree with my car. tripple checked for any leaks but the car kept stalling
-
Can remember you having issues strange as havent heard it before, went fora short drive yesterday with it and seemed ok but didnt give it no boost as was wet, hopefully be ok later! Ive been running pound coins in my old recirc as i lost the spring lol
-
Yeah sorry that might have been written wrong. I meant the turbosmart being the next step up from the forge ss, might change my ss for the turbosmart. Interested in what your logs say.
Cheers, Stevie.
-
Which turbosmart mate
-
Most likely their new big dual BOV. It can act as a fully recirculating DV or up to a 50/50 recirc/BOV.
I tested one before it was launched and it is an excellent piece of kit.
-
any benefit over the standard rev g john?
-
any benefit over the standard rev g john?
Designed with big turbo conversions in mind to cope with the extra flow and high pressures on the woefully weak throttle bodies.
For stage 2+ or below the Turbosmart would be overkill.
-
thanks for your info john,appreciate it :happy2:
-
Yeah that's the one I was thinking of. Does look a good bit of kit. :drinking:
-
I ran a turbosmart dual port on my rs and was good.. This should do the job though.. Kept an eye on the boost curve and seems to hold 28psi pritty flat throughout the revs.. Seems more responsive and less lag when upshifting

I like the sound of that mate... Have you considered going 4X4 or how do you think you will find putting the power down?
For a full engine re-built what kinsa cost would it be to take that amount of power?
:happy2:
-
It doesnt need it on the setup now with tracktyres on a nice day its the best/fun handling car i have owened.. With the next step i might have to but i would rather fit the btcc kit and run 255/265 r888 and see how it goes from there
Will be using the built engine its on now but coming from stock, depending a parts used a good 4.5k+

Just made 511 on the dyno :)
-
Was abit of a hit and miss today wasnt going to bother running it on the dyno
As the wastegate has developed a slight coolant leak, and a few days ago i had to have the car towed home due to a LPFP problem, fixed it when i got the car back but had to d/c the battery and lost the settings, spoke with rob and he gave me some old basic safe settings without logging the car, so wasnt going to bother as the car doesnt feel the same timing is wound down to 3 and this was on 27psi peak which is around 1.8 bar
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fluke435%2FMobile_Uploads%2Fimage_zps90ab3f8a.jpg&hash=774a5ef42b0868f23c382e87c1a561b4266098bb)
Was quite happy with the figures, due to the circumstances.. Boost controller is on stock settings aswell some time playing with it, would probaly get a wider torque band
Dont forget no wmi either on my car yet :) definetly better figures still to come with this turbo
-
Great figures there Pikey. :happy2: definitely more in the set-up yet with more boost and WMI.
What wastegate are you using? TIAL?
-
Was pritty chuffed always nice to walk away from a dyno happy
And yes tial mate

I went with Turbosmart. I was told by a company who used to use TIAL all the time that they moved to Turbosmart as they don't leak boost and don't require any cooling, so no coolant leakage. :happy2:
-
Good figures. Peak torque is very late though.

I have heard good things about turbosmart to lately, allthough i havent had any problems with my tial it has jus developed a coolant leak where an engine mount came loose and the engine rocked and hit against the line, but may try one ine the future
-
Good figures. Peak torque is very late though.
The boost controller can be adjusted to bring boost in earlier which would help, but im not sure if it will just be a bad thing on a fwd car.. Once its going it stays on the powerband

I havent done much track driving, It was my 1st day on track in years and 1st time in the golf, been meaning to get it out for ages but just havent had the chance.. Did you watch all day it got quicker towards the end of the day when i tweaked the boost down and found a better setting and got back into a rhytm, the only thing what came past was a track prepped gt3 in the sessions i was out at the end.. Also had a brake failure which i got away very very lucky with, brake pedal went completley flat to the floorpan coming into quarry at 140 car has some battle damage but was very lucky

Looked and sounded awesome today, easily the fasted Golf of the day :happy2:

Thanks mate got better as the day went on.. Got very lucky could have been very bad, i tryed to slow down with the gears and handbrake going into quarry and back wheels locked and violentky fired me left towards the barrier, lucky it slid back the opposite way and just kissed the tyre wall with the back end.. Fixed the brakes was going to go back out but thought ill leave it! Everythings straight and no panels out of place and all new parts should bolt straight up, luckily didnt hit the rear quarter
Did you get anyother pics mate

How do you find the clutch pedal feel, would it be heavy like really heavy or not so heavy, did you notice a big differnce between it and your southbend ?
Hey looks like you had a close call, glad to hear there is not to much damage and your ok too matey... Just means more time off the road to get it all sorted now, :fighting: less play time...
And did someone mention carbon boot, looks like that could me next :grin:
Hope you get it all sorted soon !

Hope you get it all sorted soon !
its soft, but very snappy and seems to take a lot of revs to get the car moving even with the steel flywheel, couldnt live with it in a everyday car
it will make your car sound knackered and make all sorts of whines and squeeks.. but leagues ahead of the southbend in terms of gear shift its very aggressive on up and down shifts and instant..
the race version has rigid discs, the street version is supposed to be much more usable as its sprung but the plates wont last as long
Thanks for the kind words :happy2: could have come out much worse

carbon boot is what i want really but i want to get it back on the road asap as theres another trackday in a few weeks i want to do
im having second thoughts about going more power now, may just go bigger exhaust housing and call it a day and really work on the chassis.. possibly btcc kit or something else to fit 265 R888's
-
Well.... they dont call it "Crash-tle Combe" for nothing.... :sick:
-
BTW.... CF boot would be 10 times more expensive to replace should this happen again... :happy2:

was a shame it happend but come out lucky put new pads in and thankfull i could drive it home
-
was a shame it happend but come out lucky put new pads in and thankfull i could drive it home
What actually happened to the brakes?
-
pads where on the lowish side, i was told they would be okay for another trackday and change them after
when we got the car back to the pits the rhs brake pads where completly gone was on metal, the passenger side didnt really look affected comparing when we checked the car over the day before, so either that pad has failed as the pad was to low for that kind of abuse or one brake took alot more punishment then the other?
either way its a lesson learned i wont be going out with anything under 50% pad life again lol

least you got out safe mate, and with little damage :happy2:

like mike said id love some carbon for our cupras

Just fitted it few things to note
1. Only 2 of the holes on the rear badge/boot handle line up.. This doesnt affect the badge though and if you grinded the 3rd hole off on the badge a bolt and washer would work
2. So far im not able to use the struts to hold the boot up.. Even 1 is to powerful and you are not able to close the boot as the strut is just to powerful and will bend the boot trying to close it.. There is bo window fitted in the boot yet though, i think it would be fine if a glass window was fitted, may still be an issue if a lexan screen was used.. But doesnt really bother me on a track car
3. The boot stoppers need trimming very slightly with a craft knife about 5minutes of messing about
4. The mold was not done from a gti spoiler so a gti 3rd brake light will not fit, you need to use a standard golf 3rd brake light
Other then that im amazed At how well the boot has lined up, without not much messing around with it the lines are pritty much sitting like oem, the badge/handle sits nice and the rear lights slot in nicely.. Ive heard seibon products can be abit of a hit and miss so maybe i just got a good one i dont know.. But my bonnet fits very well also :)
Its very light and is going to be a huge saving especially with a lexan rear window!
I havent tried the interior pieces yet as i dont use them abd there chucked about somewhere but im confident they will work
-
:worthless:
-
Will post some in a sec mate, but aint looking how it would as theres no rear bumper/lights or a rear screen fitted yet
-
Thanks for the info mate. How many kilos do you think it's shaved off the rear end?
-
Struts direct will do you oem spec/ fitment struts but at a lower force. They do adjustable ones so you can get it just right.
-
Hey mate, be careful when choosing the struts because they will deform the boot if they are too strong *EVEN* if at first sight they seem to close ok.
A friend of mine had this problem with this carbon bonnet after 2 months! (when installed it looked/aligned perfect)
Keep us posted. :driver:

Thanks for the heads up mate, i will probaly not bother using the struts on it, im using one on my bonnet for approx a year and seems okay.. which bonnet was it do you know?
-

without the window in there is a huge difference mate.. when my lexan rear screen comes and is fitted i will remove it and weight them both, im sure there will still be a very good weight saving with the rear screen fitted especially a lexan one

sounds like the perfect solution.. not decided wether going to use a strut on it not or yet, but thanks for that

The fit of that Seibon part looks really flush. I'd personally go for Valeos with the carbon boot for better contrast. The R32/ED30 are too dark now and would look better on another tornado red GTI. :drinking:

that boot is pretty special :drool:

Regarding the Seibon CF boot, doesn't your GTI spoiler fit on the CF boot's spoiler?
The Seibon must be a mould from the OEM non GTI boot :smiley:
I agree it might look stupid with the non cf OEM spoiler on top of the cf, but it should fit.

Yup i understand it on a gtr etc but not on a track car, or if ur into 1/4mile and have 4wd then it can be helpful, but if you can drive and have a good transmission setup you wont be losing out on much anyway with a good setup, id rather the involvement then .1-.2 up a 1/4mile if that was my thing

The CF boot with the gti roof spoiler will fit ok, or it should as it fitted mine ok, i then added the osir roof spoiler, as i knew the back end was going to get lighter :driver: as it did !

thoughts on exhaust and rear valance?
1. have a duplex setup? i.e a single slash cut tailpipe further apart then the 2 central r32 style
2. r32 style valance
3. smooth rear valance with a side exit exhaust coming out under the sideskirt
just added a poll
-
Freshly painted

Nice! Can't wait to see it fitted, waiting...

Side exit gets my vote :popcornsoda:

Side exit would be pritty nuts with launch control and flat shift, just it will result in not much room for a half decent silencer so might be to loud

Wicked rear, some things happen for a reason I guess!
You got Anti-Lag on that? :surprised:
-
That Seibon carbon part fits like it's OEM, looks really good. Do you still have the problem that even just one strut is too much for it?
-
Yeah it fits well mate window fits well on there aswell for being lexan
I havent tried yet but the window has added very little weight i dont think it would, might work with a glass one
-

Voted for Duplex there on the exhaust mate. As much as I love the R32 exit, this car is not an R32,it is an R32 beater so don't think it should have the same exhaust :wink:
Awesome car whatever exhaust you decide on :happy2:

-
put the revo settings back on today and went over the intercooler clamps some did seem a little loose.. went out to test the flat shifting for the 1st time and this mod is all i can say is amazing!
easily the best bang for buck mod i have done and definetly would even get placed in the top 3 mods i have done to the car!
a mate has got a 760bhp c6 rs6 and his would always gain on gearchanges with the manual vs s-tronic gearbox, and my lag on gearchanges from the gtx30 would really show comparing it next to a fast car with a fast changing auto transmission with 250hp more!.. the ed30 will now pull away a few car lengths up untill speeds what are just not acceptable on the road, which has showed how much difference this has made, gearchanges are instant and so smooth and flatfoot shifting definetly takes stress off the gearbox! its only on the default wot shift settings atm aswell and can be turned down for even quicker shifts when i get more practice
gains will probaly be seen on a ko4 aswell allthough probaly not as much as they dont suffer as much lag

no performs well when we logged it in the summer but theres alot of flow getting to it compared to a daily setup car, bits have been chopped away which blocks the core usually.. will add wmi soon and may go a custom route if i decide to go gtx35 so its just a single but at the front of the car over the winter

going to be having a new exhaust saturday..
decided to go side exit so i can run a flat floor and diffuser.. should be fun with the launch control with the side exit
the milltek did well on the dyno and has still made well over 500hp but im sure its restriciting the big blower as it tapers down to 2.75 and sometimes less in places, how much i dont know.. might have a 3.5" downpipe aswell
-
With the power and torque your car is running I'd defo be going with a 3.5" downpipe and 3" system

Im in 2 minds the car doesnt get used enough for what its built for and now im getting to that stage its moreless finished i lose interest when im not using it
And can only be used in the summer really.. I think when the summer comes i wont want to, but i might see how it goes this year and then put the engine and transfer the rest over into a mk6 R and break what wont swap over, and then keep the R as a road car but with 600hp with the added weight

Should i lol
do it :happy2:
-
Not sure it has option for extra injectors looking at others atm and debating what i want to do powerwise
-
What would you like to do power wise ?
-
Be cool to make 600 but also feel like calling it a day and just fitting the hpa inlet and wmi which would probaly make a few extra hp.. its great how itis and stupidly fast and has been pritty bulletproof
-
Fit the HPA inlet and WMI and just enjoy her for a year, then go higher power if you get bored.
Which you will. We all do, no matter how much power we have.
:happy2:
-
You can use the HEP stage 2, it has extra injector bungs and threaded ports so you can use direct port methanol injection.
:happy2:

This is the only car i have owned what i havent got used to over a year, it scares me everytime lol think im just being greedy now
-

:happy2:
Yeah that would probaly be a better option incase i do decide to go extra injectors nearly twice the price of the hpa i belive but would be worth it in the long run if i do go more

Fixed it for you :signLOL:
-
The HPA inlet manifolds are very good, but you do have to special order one if you want the option for it to have the facility for accepting a secondary fuel rail. Direct port WMI maybe an alternative option where you could tap into a standard HPA inlet manifold for injection points.
Personally speaking, a fwd car with 600bhp would be "challenging" :laugh:

Picked her up yesterday :smiley:

U got toooo much money to spend mate :happy2:
-
I haven't really treated it to much lately mate.. Had abit of a bill to get it back on the road though
-
Good job matey ! Hard work always pays off ... :happy2:
What next ?
-
Good job matey ! Hard work always pays off ... :happy2:
What next ?
Cheers mate next is
A new lpfp setup
A custom alloy diffuser
Srs tec front wings or maybe btcc kit
Tidy the interior up abit more
And a private plate
-
Nice one ! For the way you have the car i'd go with the BTCC Kit...
Lovely, but alot of work involed :driver: But sure look how far you have come now, no point in turning back :jumpmove:
What about going 4x4 ? :driver:
-
I'm in 2 minds mate I don't really want to be chucking huge huge amounts at it anymore.. I don't think it would cost a lot to get close to 600hp out of it but then it will need the 4x4 definetly
It's on the borderline of useable as fwd on good days, probably well past it to most not used to it though lol, and it's faster then anything I've came across on the road so I'm happy atm lol
The btcc kit is tempting though with some huge 888s
-
The custom alloy diffuser... this is going to be interesting! :party:

What u thinking of getting next mate?
-
Are you thinking another project or just buy something mega to start with?
-
Possibly a gt-r depending on insurance, a45 or rs3 or stay away from cars for abit and get a RR or x5m or something
-
I really like the A45's, wish I could afford one of those.
With your track record the GT-R would have 1000bhp within a year :signLOL:
-
stay away from cars for abit and get a RR or x5m or something
I did that, thoroughly recommend it.... Sold my 520hp Escort about 2 years ago now, bought a e90 330d, then ended up with a Range Rover Sport HST.
Nice feeling having money in the bank for once... so the wife says :signLOL:
-
Can you really put the power down in it? I have about 200bhp less in mine and it spins up all the time!
-
After 2nd gear in the right conditions yes
-
Beautiful

Anyone looking to buy parts from Pikeys car make sure u collect from him. I bought his old ED 30 Splitter and had a nightmare experience with him. Told me so many times he had sent it out, in the end he started ignoring my messages. Turned up about 2 weeks him saying he had posted it.
Had a few members PM when i was having a issue with him telling me they had been ripped of previously by him. So beware :happy2:
-
2weeks is unacceptable but im a very busy person and have a very busy career that busy infact i had to get somebody else to do it at the time
yes unacceptable really but hardly a nightmare experience you recieved the part
Cheers
-
end of the day people can pay via paypal safely or collect i have sold some parts on here recently via pm and paypal gift and im sure they will vouch for the delivery within 2days
-
Do you think your fx725 has anything to do with your destroyed g.box?
Stevie.
-
Do you think your fx725 has anything to do with your destroyed g.box?
Stevie.
it guess it takes abuse from the R888 grip, clutch, and power but i would say more wotbox i did make abit of a habit wotshifting
the fx725 is an excellent clutch imo only clutch i have not had fail or cause shifting issues.. it is agressive but for me still usable at the same time.. the 725 with sprung discs will be much more usable again but wont last as long and the 850 holds more power but the 725 is better for faster shifting apparently
-
Cheers for that. My fx850 will be here in couple of weeks. Good luck with the new car. And let me know if you are selling your AEM wideband gauge.
Cheers, Stevie. :happy2:
-
I'm sure you will get on with it mate
And I would prefer to try and shift the pod with all 3 gauges atm but I'll put you down for the gauge and see what happens
-
You won't go wrong with a car from Iain @ Litchfield. Top fella, dealt with him for years!
-
cheers mate just got off the phone to him about the car seems a good chap
-
New owner collected the car today :sad1:
-
:sad1:
I hope the new owner keeps the car in the forum.
-
Bummer... What's next pikey?

I hope the new owner keeps the car in the forum.
Probaly not I don't think he will have it long I may even end up buying it back lol
-
Bummer... What's next pikey?
I have a GT-R picking it up in a few weeks
-
What makes you think he won't have it long?
Stevie.
-
I know him and he changes his toys every couple of months usually.. allthough he is talking about taking it to the nurburgring in july so maybe not
-
Perfect playground for it! :driver:
-
Pikey I'm trying to PM you but your inbox is full!
-
Cleared mate
-
Car has gone to another home now and will be raced in the castle combe saloon series
-
When you getting the GT-R dude :jumping:
-
I have had it a week today mate been to busy using it so haven't been online lol
-
Haha get some pics up and videos, I want one of these next were are you located? :happy2:
-
Will get some up soon I'm in Bristol mate, and u won't regret its a machine
-
Just read an article in evo magazine that featured a Lichfield M4, noting that it quoted them as "a top GT-R tuner". This may be grounds for my request for a non-dubs ride section to be added.
-
They are very respected tuner in the gtr bmw Subaru world mate, I will start a build thread soon if not an issue as I will hang about on here still as still have the s3 also
-
will look forward to the pics :happy2:
how do you compare the gtr to the golf apart from an exta 100 bhp lol :driver:
-
Honestly I couldn't really say mate the gt-r is ofcourse another level and I was very surprised at how lively the car is for a big car.. In terms of straight line speed I do think the gt-r will be faster but I also wouldn't be surprised if the golf held its own in the correct circumstances i.e 3rd gear roll, the gt-r has rolling anti lag launch which basically enables you to build boost with the accelerator flat down without moving and then press a button on the steering wheel and it really does take off like that lol
-
we had a guy in the other day saying he now owned this so we will wait and see if it comes back to us
-
I heard its having some issues?
