OEMplus k04 vRS
« on: July 17, 2012, 11:13:24 pm »
Just thought I'd throw this up here!
I owned this car a few years back, sold it to another enthusiast who kept it as I did,
He asked me at the start of the year if I knew anybody interested in buying it, so I bought it myself!!
Here it was first time I had it






In the meantime, I had this 2007 mk5 Gti



But then had to downgrade as my wife had a baby and funds were tight!!
This is what I was driving, was a waste of time downgrading as I spent a fortune to get it this way!!!







Anyway, back to the vRS!!!

The spec is something like this:

18'' Zeniths
Dual Climate
Cruise Control
Front/Rear Electric Windows
Maxidot
Jumbo Box
Plus all the other usual vRS extra's

I had it fitted with these
H&R Cup kit suspension and -20mm springs
Columbus RNS 510 sat nav
Aluminium seat insert and footrest
HIDS4U Xenon kit
Rear window tints

Some interior shots





2 Tone!




I then bought it back, first thing to do was to get a Carbonio Intake and panel filter




I know there are better intakes available, but I've had these in mk5 Gti's before and liked them


Also got some H&R 15mm spacers on the rear






I also got the front grille colour coded

Next job was to take it to a very well renowned bloke here in Ireland, the appropriately named Joe Power!!








The results!!!







I've got some tint on ebay recently,
Decided to use it on the clear part of the tail lights and mirror indicators
Before:







After:









I've recently had the H&R springs changed for 45/50mm ones, looks much better, will get pictures in a few days once it has completely settled
 
Quick rolling shot of my wifes car, poor phone pic!!!

Got myself a set of A8 flat fives today, test fitted them, need to get 2 refurbed as there badly kerbed
Happy with the results, the suspension wasn't settled fully for these pics, should look well when I get them refurbed and it sit's at the proper ride height...






Opinions welcome!!  :happy2:

Looks a sweet car but I prefer the OE Wheels on the Octys. I have the same car as you and am stage 2+ at the moment. I wouldnt use the D revision DV, as the G one holds boost better plus is less probe to fail. I had the D fitted for about 2 years but was leaking, as they arent designed to be used with the K03 housing. If you compare them side by side the D piston is about 7mm shorter than on the G and doesnt have a rubber seal on the end.  I fitted a G and the car now pulls crisper than it ever did before.

Thanks lads,

I like the OEM 18'' Zenith's myself, but there's so many race blue vRS here, needed to do something to stand out from the rest!
I think the shape of the A8's really suit the octavia!

Thanks for the comments  :happy2:

Just a small update,

I got a set of black engine caps from Alex, washer bottle and coolant,





Before



After




I also got a TorqueTronix high pressure fuel pump (HPFP) off Donal
Haven't had a chance to really test out how much difference it makes over stock fuel pump, but should make the car even better and faster than it already is with the remap
While I was changing it over, I fitted a new cam follower aswell



That's all for now,






Oh, I nearly forgot, got these off Donal too....












I got fed up with the A8's and these came up at the right price and in Ireland, so saved me the hassle of courier etc!

Anyway, forgive my (lack of) skill with a camera, here's a few other pictures I took!
Hopefully the suspension will settle down a bit when I drive it, only drove less than a mile to take the pictures, so we'll see!










I'm surprised at how comfortable it still is on the 215/35/19 tyres, was expecting it to be a back breaker, I'm old and like my comfort!!

What do ya think!
