Kyne's 2dr VOLK5 GTI MKV

[VOLK5]

Hi Guys,

So I have finally taken delivery of the car from the dealership on the 23rd of this month.

It's a Black 2 dr 2007 DSG model with sunroof, bi-xenons & dark brown leather trim?

It's been a big change coming from a pulsar in the last 4 years.

Loving every bit about it, so hopefully I can make an appearance in the next meet.

I don't have much plans for it yet, possibly aside from some wheels and coilovers.

Thanks for looking.

[Justin Fox]

Haha nice!!! World of difference from the pulsar huh?!

[Jig]

Welcome to the forum.

[schoona]

Nice Poosar :)

Congrats on the VW

[vanboy]

Congrats Kyne! Nice little Christmas present to yourself? :D

[VOLK5]

Justin Fox: thanks JF, world of difference is an understatement, everything is so different!

Jig: thanks mate.

schoona: cheers mate, pulsar's letting it self go...so it doesn't look as good anymore. ;(

vanboy: thanks vanboy, definately an awesome little Christmas present, I purchased the pulsar this time 4 years ago too, so I thought I'd stick to tradition. hope to come along to the melbourne meets.

[Athrun Zala]

welcome to the forums.
ps i want your headlights haha

[VOLK5]

Athrun Zala: they are awesome! in the 3 months I was looking, only 3 private sellers had them as an option!

So I decided to buy an aftermarket head unit because the car doesn't have an auxiliary, only releasing the next day that I might need an adaptor to fit the headunit? Could someone give me more information on this? Thanks

[VOLK5]

so my new plates have arrived! not exactly a mod, just needed to complete its 'euro' look!

[stephen8512]

are you plates meant to mean something? or they jsut random letter/number combo?

Louis Vuitton for 671 dollars

[VOLK5]

stephen8512: almost right mate! I currently work for Louis Vuitton and as for the number combination...it is suppose to be seen as random, however it is the number equivalent/lookalike to GTI - I have never really been a fan of including my year of birth or engine size or year the car was manufactured and so on, so I thought this would be nice. Each to their own at the end of the day.

[VOLK5]

so I finally got around to tinting the windows earlier this week!

[stephen8512]

[crazyray]

Car is looking good Kyne...

[VOLK5]

[VOLK5]

Hi Guys,

So its been some time since I've last updated my thread.

Since then, I've had a +1 tune - thanks to Lucas and ordered some new wheels.

Here were my results from the last dyno day.

http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff370/MKVOLKS/Scan6.jpg

Have a good one guys.

[HCGTI]

whats next?
Fuel pump? TBE? Intake? K04? hahaha

[VOLK5]

all of the above!

[stephen8512]

vry nice figures there. graph looks good!

May I ask which stage 1 flash u went for?

[HCGTI]

He's in Melbourne so GIAC naturally haha :)

[VOLK5]

cheers stephen, I went for giac.

[ikprojekt]

hey mate lol im confused! last when we at the HP dyno day LOL seriously I thought you had a Red GTI. LOL I must be colour blind. Cars looking good mate what are you measuring now? Any updates on your flash? Cheers!

PS: Got any pics of your new shoes! (car rims) ;)

[VOLK5]

hey mate,

yeah you must have been seeing things? dont worry - exact same thing happened to me too! I could've sworn a friend of mine jumped into a red gti one time, turns out it was black.

no updates on the flash, haven't done anything to the car since HPF dyno day! As for my wheels, they haven't arrived yet, still waiting!

[VOLK5]

bought the eurojet downpipe from Tim @ Dubaddiction the other week!

http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff370/MKVOLKS/357ebd4a.jpg

[OraQube]

Nice bro!

I was at dubaddiction hq last week with the boys and Tim had a few of these lined up ready to be shipped.

[Fab_R]

Nice Kyne...sub'd dude.

[VOLK5]

thanks guys, cant wait to fit this bad boy!

[Jig]

Great quality by the looks of it. Sound clips for sure.

[10d]

Any pics on the new wheels?

[VOLK5]

not just yet mate, still waiting on them...

debadged the rear because I was bored waiting for my wheels to arrive...

http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff370/MKVOLKS/4697560f.jpg

still waiting for the right pair of R32 lights to come by...

[Rob32R]

I have a decent spare set of MKV OEM R32 tail lights that i was going to put on the TDI. How much are you willing to pay :).

no biggie if I don't, never been a fan of trying to look like another car, definately looks better than the GTI lights though!

[Rob32R]

MAKE AN OFFER TO ME :).

[CSR]

Rob don't play games if your thing is for sale do some research about how much its worth PM him with the price you want for it, I think he clearly just told you he's not interested enough to make you an offer.

[Rob32R]

I haven't used them. I want $375

[VOLK5]

PM sent - cheers Clem, I've bought my fair share of ridiculously marked up car parts

[ATSE]

Kyne... go LED tails

I'm thinking about it...

[VOLK5]

Kyne... go LED tails

I'm thinking about it...

yeah? haha well ill take yours then when you get the LED's! ;p

[CSR]

LED tails??

Elaborate :D (with pics) !

[VOLK5]

says mr LED man! LOL

[ATSE]

haha not too fast... i've spent too much already... Milltek and Rotors going on this weekend... can't wait!

[VOLK5]

wtf? is that why youve been hiding?

[VOLK5]

photos from friday nights meet! hopefully the last of it looking stock, before the wheels arrive.

http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff370/MKVOLKS/VWG%20Aug%202011/IMG_0073.jpg

http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff370/MKVOLKS/VWG%20Aug%202011/IMG_0079.jpg

so I've since had a eurojet downpipe fitted on the car and managed to make 151kw, 2kw less than what I made last time without it!

Nice photos

re: the dyno....did you do it on the same dyno?

And also, did you get the Stage 2 map? Because ur car with downpipe is basically a stage 2 now, so a stage 2 GIAC would probably be what you need. I know thats the case for APR....dunno if GIAC has a "stage 2" flash but u should be making more than 150ish kw atw because a dp on a tuned GTI should yield somewhere like low-mid 160 ish im guessing....

[VOLK5]

Thanks Stephen!

The car has only had the +1 flash and eurojet downpipe.

I did actually use the same dyno that got me the 153kw, so naturally I thought I'd get an increase...however having said that, alot of the guys were supposedly reading lower than usual too.

I understand there is a GIAC Stage+2 map for the car, once I've fitted an intake + fuel pump! so ill get around to that eventually.

[CSR]

Disappointing about the DP, hope the tune changes something..

[VOLK5]

heres the reading from saturdays dyno:

[Mij]

when you posting up the video of your dp? would love to hear it!

[VOLK5]

when you posting up the video of your dp? would love to hear it!

sorry mate, will do it this weekend!

[VOLK5]

Here is what it sounds like, first thing after ignition!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CceXKjzF10

[VOLK5]

Here is a quick clip of the downpipe on the car with a stock catback!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr1UMpPIs90

[Mij]

Nice sound! Driven it on the highway yet?

[VOLK5]

thanks! plenty of times! i've had it on for a couple of weeks now~

[Fab_R]

Sound nice Kyne...

[Gti Dave]

Sounds great mate. Want to get one off Tim but not 100% sure if it will fit the same on my skoda rs 2.0tfsi? APR lists their down pipe for my skoda as the same part number for the mkv gti but that could just be their design and mounting design? Dont know if this translates to the same with the eurojet one?

[VOLK5]

thanks all!

how'd you go Dave? bought the screamer yet??

[Gti Dave]

thanks all!

how'd you go Dave? bought the screamer yet??

I really want to go ahead with it but so far, APR's response has been somewhat unhelpful. They list theirs as the same part numbers for the skoda as it is for the mkV gti but when they replied, they said they "fit it up against it" what ever that means. Awesome-gti-co.uk replied in no time as said they should be the same for the downpipe but different for catback. Milltek website doesn't help either as they don't list part numbers. Unless Tim is happy enough for me to buy it and offer an refund if it don't t fit then I'm stuck. So if i were to be 100% sure of fitment then I have to go Miltek which will cost me a lot more and they don't look as pretty as the eurojet one. Can anyone help? My Skoda is the prefacelift one with the same engine as the mkV gti's TFSI.

[Tim]

Hey Dave dont wanna spam up this forum but shoot me an email/msg and we can discuss some options

[VOLK5]

thanks for your all help Tim!

[Adzy]

Sounds nice bro!

[VOLK5]

[DeanCorp]

Looks hot man!!!! And love that tyre pattern, how does it go traction wise? Big difference?

Some things i'd like to see:

R32 Tails
Colour coded rear

[vanboy]

Nice one.. thoroughly deserved given the amount of wait time you had to go through. 9 wide! Gonna scrub when you drop unless you get some serious stretch happening?

[CSR]

I think I just jizzed...

Then while I was recovering I noticed the last pic - is your right exhaust tail at an insanely funny angle or am I just drunk?

[melbv]

love these wheels..... cant wait to see them on the next meet.

[stephen8512]

wow! the fronts seem to be sticking out abit...

any reason why u went 225/45 instead of 225/40's?

[OraQube]

Then while I was recovering I noticed the last pic - is your right exhaust tail at an insanely funny angle or am I just drunk?

Think it's just the pic. Cos in the 2nd last shot it looks alright. Does make it look a bit flaccid though haha!

[Fab_R]

Love the wheels Kyne....Cant wait to see them as well bro!

[Footguy]

Holy sheet.... 18x9 +35!! RESPECT! Honeymoon poke right there...

Roll them guards and dial up the camber with that drop....

[Gti Dave]

I'm glad I saw them yesterday. Look hot and grips like no tomorrow. Only issues was rubbing and i guess it doesn't help with the fact that both myself and kyne being big blokes in the car at the same time. LOL...Just need to get some VW wheel arch flares to finish it off.

[VOLK5]

Looks hot man!!!! And love that tyre pattern, how does it go traction wise? Big difference?

Thanks mate, the tyres are great, heaps of grip - big difference from the stock ones!

As for the tails, I'm still looking! Maybe you can sell me yours!

I actually like the black plastic and besides the car is no Pirelli!


Nice one.. thoroughly deserved given the amount of wait time you had to go through. 9 wide! Gonna scrub when you drop unless you get some serious stretch happening?

Thanks Aun! Yeah, thats for sure! The car already rubs over big dips on the road! Not a fan of stretch tyres! They're only 225! Wouldn't want to go any less!


I think I just jizzed...

Then while I was recovering I noticed the last pic - is your right exhaust tail at an insanely funny angle or am I just drunk?

dirtii kent! lucky for me, Ill be upgrading the catback then!


love these wheels..... cant wait to see them on the next meet.

not sure if I can make it to the next one V!


wow! the fronts seem to be sticking out abit...

any reason why u went 225/45 instead of 225/40's?

I think the fronts will always stick out that little bit more? I wanted the ride to still maintain its comfort and I also wanted to go for that phat/buff look? If that makes sense...


Think it's just the pic. Cos in the 2nd last shot it looks alright. Does make it look a bit flaccid though haha!

yeah it might just be the photo?

[Justin Fox]

Yes please sell to me. With my camber tops up front I'd be able to fit these easy! -3.5 rear should do the trick too haha.

[10d]

Yes please sell to me. With my camber tops up front I'd be able to fit these easy! -3.5 rear should do the trick too haha.

Hmm. Bidding war? Would be a perfect set for track for me. Would fit 255/40/18 on those bad boys

[VOLK5]

Yes please sell to me. With my camber tops up front I'd be able to fit these easy! -3.5 rear should do the trick too haha.

you make me want some coilovers now!


Hmm. Bidding war? Would be a perfect set for track for me. Would fit 255/40/18 on those bad boys

I would have liked to! Apparently it would have started to hit the strut if I went any wider than 225?

[10d]

you make me want some coilovers now!



I would have liked to! Apparently it would have started to hit the strut if I went any wider than 225?

No. Your offset is 35. But it will rip your guards out. :(

[stephen8512]

No. Your offset is 35. But it will rip your guards out. :(

unless u custom widen or get kerschers

[VOLK5]

No. Your offset is 35. But it will rip your guards out. :(

awesome! will go 255's next then!

anyone want any of these? for those who want to consider a set of Rays for their next wheels? I feel bad for throwing them out!

http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff370/MKVOLKS/IMG_0001.jpg

[OraQube]

^I'll have some :)

[VOLK5]

[DeanCorp]

Park in the lines dude. Just because the wheels are 9" wide you can still fit ;)

[Gti Dave]

Yeah I was thinking of a 130i myself but either were too expensive on the 2nd hand market or bloody high mileage. Plus the wife said the boot was way too small. Sound awesome though and handle pretty well.

[CSR]

He was putting enough space between himself and the other guy in case he swings the door open on his wheels ;D

[Gti Dave]

He was putting enough space between himself and the other guy in case he swings the door open on his wheels ;D

True, you won't believe how some peeps park these days. Especially if the BMW driver leaves before kyne does.

[VOLK5]

Park in the lines dude. Just because the wheels are 9" wide you can still fit ;)

haha you'll be surprised man, I've had my share of f**ks that park so close that I physically cant even get out because Im not the smallest guy out there, even instances where Ive waited 45 mins for the other person to return to their car just so I can get out... I care about the paintwork more though


Yeah I was thinking of a 130i myself but either were too expensive on the 2nd hand market or bloody high mileage. Plus the wife said the boot was way too small. Sound awesome though and handle pretty well.

the cabin itself is real small and it was lacking the power!


He was putting enough space between himself and the other guy in case he swings the door open on his wheels ;D

this is true


True, you won't believe how some peeps park these days. Especially if the BMW driver leaves before kyne does.

wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to fit their car in that gap?

[VOLK5]

trying to get rid of every bit of chrome on the car, where possible!

http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff370/MKVOLKS/668d1b95.jpg

matte black or gloss black??

[Justin Fox]

My answer is always gloss black! Still have to do my rear badge!!!

[CSR]

Gloss black all the way bro...Baller Kyne ;) take that GTI badge off completely hehe

[OraQube]

trying to get rid of every bit of chrome on the car, where possible!

You trying to copy me huh, bro! haha

[VOLK5]

My answer is always gloss black! Still have to do my rear badge!!!

ha! alright JF - might have a look at teh badges before the painters spray a clear coat over it ;)


Gloss black all the way bro...Baller Kyne ;) take that GTI badge off completely hehe

haha - i dont know mate, dont really like the holes that will be left behind, might look at getting the badge delete grill in future ;)


You trying to copy me huh, bro! haha

LOL nah man, ive always been about blacking the whole car out! just didn't know how to remove the rear f*****g badge! until Tony ripped it off in literally under 10 seconds?

[Pharkus]

+1 black on black on black. Now you have to keep those tyre walls in top nick.

[VOLK5]

+1 black on black on black. Now you have to keep those tyre walls in top nick.

if you're referring to tyre shine, I've got spray bottle full of that stuff from the guys at tyrepower! I've always liked the matte like sheen it gives off compared to the ones that you can buy at the shops, abit too glossy for me.

[VOLK5]

finally effed off all the chrome badging outside of the car and in with the badges sprayed in BMP!

http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff370/MKVOLKS/ffb66336.jpg

Nice! Cant wait to see these on your car. I was thinking of doing mine gloss black but have second thoughts now.

[Justin Fox]

Pro job for sure can't you tell? Looking great! I so want my rear badge painted just got to do it!

[Fab_R]

Nice job K.

[Adzy]

Top job bro! All that finger nail painting paid off ;)

Looking great as always. Hows you're tyres performing in the wet and dry? Reports?

[Rob32R]

Looks awesome Kyne!!!

I really like the colour combination of the blacked out badges up against the BMP.

Can't wait to see your future mods.

All your missing now is a set of OEM R32 tail lights :).

Looking great as always. Hows you're tyres performing in the wet and dry? Reports?

yeah I did, so effin annoying - just when you think you covered everything! I haven't really gone for it in the rain, other than that - very good in the dry!


Looks awesome Kyne!!!

I really like the colour combination of the blacked out badges up against the BMP.

Can't wait to see your future mods.

All your missing now is a set of OEM R32 tail lights :).

like I said, you know what my offer is...


Kynezyyyyy!

It's what Gary needs to do to his GT ;D

Seriously though it's basically de-chroming the inside of the headlight housing by cracking them open and painting the plastic trim black.

Looking good Kyne. I might take me car this Wednesday as well and get mine re-sprayed since I did a shit job and waste of $50 for Plasti-Dip. When you getting your exhaust system? PS Going to TyrePower this Wednesday.

nice one, yeah well I figured it was going to cost me about that to get it done professionally anyway so I thought why not and it doesn't seem like many members have colour coded their badges either?

just gotta wait for one of the forum members that Ill be getting my exhaust from to remove it, soon I hope? ill see what I get up to on wednesday - might drop by...

todd, it cost me $50 for all three, but thats because he already had left over paint from a repair he did for me! I dont imagine it costing much more than that at other places? given you remove the badges off yourself?

I thought about it, Bronze imo just makes it look that little bit moar ricer than it already is! I test fitted a bronze one for sizing @ TPH and it reminded me of those EP3 Civic Type R's :( yuck!

http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff370/MKVOLKS/958c3956.jpg

Cars looking nice mate! I love the stealth look.. And the wheels are amazing.

Quick question:
What did they do with the inner lining once they rolled the guards.. And how much did it set you back? Considering doing this mod soon on mine.

thanks brother!

we kept the inner lining in place and is currently wedged between the folded lip and the guard - so I don't think it will be going anywhere?

as for the guard work it cost me $70 a corner, he is actually quite a well known guard roller in the sth east suburbs of melb amongst the jap car scene! I would recommend his work, even though its not going to make a difference with my wheels ;)

Rays centre caps to finish that shit off!

But where's the "RAYS" logo? Or is it so well hidden that it's only visible under UV light? :P

hey John I think all of us amateurs need someone to start a thread on how to best photograph black :)

no UV required, I can just make the logo out on the cap on the left with plastic on ;)

I'm sure there are better photogs out there than me. Just got my new flash though so keen to try that out.

Try overexposing the shot a bit to bring out some more detail. Or you could try a HDR shot, but black generally is a bitch to shoot.

[VOLK5]

Finally had the coilovers fitted by Tim & Josh @ DA HQ! However was not able to go as low as I would have liked because of my wheels :(

http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff370/MKVOLKS/IMG_0003.jpg

[MasterKevin]

Get 215/40/18 or 225/40/18 tyres, stretch em on and you will able to many more low :D

[CSR]

Fuck yeah! It's a start kynezy...the front looks almost perfect, the rear should be able to go much lower..

Yeah I agree with MK, get some stretch happening on narrower tyres and maybe stay with a 40 profile..45 makes it look so big and bubbly :D

[Tim]

The rear can go lower but not till it has narrower tyres. Its raised as high as it goes in the rear at the minute. Those wheels just have a massive amount of poke and any lower it will rub.
Pictures dont do it justice either. Looks pretty tough in the flesh.

[Adzy]

Its still a great improement Kyne :D What offset did you go for on the Volks?

[Fab_R]

Looks the biz Kynzey....nice ride height now mate.

yeah thats why I've decided to sell up, now just waiting on someone to buy the current tyres! might be pretty hard considering everyone keeps name dropping 'tire-rack' or whatever you call them? what are the savings anyway... 50%?

Why is everyone leaving the 4WD camp?

[CSR]

Kynezy tirerack yeah is like 50% cheaper than local but consider it costs also $260 to ship a set of 4 tyres so for cheaper tyres the costs end up being quite similar. For something like the michelin super sport which are like $500 a corner here in Aus it's worth buying O/S.

[OraQube]

Why is everyone leaving the 4WD camp?

Cos we got bored of bush bashing. Then again, I still have to address my tiguan-spec ride height.

[bluefrog]

who's your daddy Kynezy!?! .. I'm keen for a viewing :D

Why is everyone leaving the 4WD camp?
