Edition 30. APR stage2+
« on: November 01, 2012, 06:25:24 pm »
Evening All,
Im Rhys from Cardiff
Thought i would start up thread after generally just looking around and admiring the cars on here :happy2:

Picked the car up almost a year ago and since the first week got into the slippery slope of modifying.   As a standard car i loved it, just all the general refinements made it such a great drive, and with a nice spec list couldn’t resist picking it up and regret leaving it and not finding another, especially as it was local.
From there got a bit carried away and gathered up the parts and having built up a great friendship with some of the guys at Awesome gti got all the parts organised to get it straight to Apr stage 2.
Currently running the APR software with full miltek system.  (absolutely love the transformation to stage 2 and with the full functions through the cruise control switch ability is great)
KW v3's
Neuspeed Pflow intake.
couple of other small refinements with some polybushing on torque arm insert (full front set up ordered :happy2:) NGK iridium x cold sparks, revision diverter valve and a couple of neuspeed carbon parts just to set it off.
So here how its currently looking,

future Plans are having an RNS510 fitted on monday along with a Mk6 gti red stiched Wheel, Walk and H&R arb's.
Thanks comments welcome.

Cheers
Rhys

They do the front profile and especially Xenons no justice IMO.

Yeah its much better look now with them off!
Haven't got a print out with the exact figures but off the top of my head 320bhp but can't remember the torque figure! It's going back soon for some other updates so its having a re run and print out then :) to be honest it drives great pulls exceptionally well and is nice and smooth to drive with the power so it got my wow factor!

Quick update. New interior parts fitted today. RNS510 nav system all seems to be working well along with the mk6 steering wheel with red stitching.  Just waiting for it to come back from some paint and can check all the mf button functionality :)
