4x VW Classisx 17" w/ 225/45/R17 Bridgestone RE001's

Same wheels as I had on my FSI (bought another set)

[Cam]

Nice work Scotty.
I really like the Classix. One of the best looking stock VW rims imo
:)

[scotty1991]

Yeah i prefer them to the detroits/denvers, plus i got the set on gum tree for $300!!!!

[schoona]

Good buy scott, get some coils in there :)

[scotty1991]

Might try some springs first

[OraQube]

[walbjj]

thats an awesome buy, any options tho?

[Adzy]

A bargain is an understatement! I saw that price at first and panicked that mine will be worth less than i though but just a great buy mate. Probably beter off waiting for some coilovers at the right price than just chucking the springs in bro.. the handling will be worlds appart, great rims too!
What are your plans with it... lots of mods or just a few?

[10d]

Good buy mate

Thanks guys :D the power delivery is crazy! WALK definitely worth the cash!
Sounds horn too hehe but not WRX loud

[CSR]

Fuck you gotta be happy with that..!

[Adzy]

Jesus!! Some bloody decent numbers for stage 2 Scotty!

[schoona]

Congrats Scotty, big number!!

[gh172]

That's the kind of number you'd expect to see with a tuned K04! Got to be wrapped with that.

How have you found traction at the front end after the WALK bro? Any more steering feel also?

[scotty1991]

How have you found traction at the front end after the WALK bro? Any more steering feel also?

Traction still sucks lol but the turn in feels sharper, I think I may have loosened a engine mount or something similar though as the gear changes are a lot louder now, and I don't think its just the extra harshness.. Could be.. I'd recommend the WALK cause it fixes the issue of mid corner lift, you still understeer a bit but not as much as before. I think I could use a dog bone insert and a rear sway bar still.. So might look into that next and some bigger brakes :p

Ok sweet, thats what they should do but some ppl cant notice it much (novices ;) sounds good scotty.
Yeah the RSB is the best mod you will do handling wise bro, prob better off getting front and rear adjustable ones though and setting the rear to the stiffest setting. Turn in on mine now is evil and the main limiting factor when she lets go is more so the rear end rather than understeer.. given that its driven right though.
Your cars coming along nicely bro :D

[BBR32]

Drive into Sydney College of the Arts (sydney uni's visual art campus), which is in rozelle and you can just drive right up to the waters edge opposite canada bay next to iron cove bridge, i took that photo on my girlfriends phone and it still came out bloody nice!

[funny]

Congrats Scotty.
Just make sure you give the GTI (and other drivers) more respect than what you might have given your previous car/s before...

My 2c - get suspension next. Power without wheels touching the ground is worth NOTHING.

Enjoy!

Some progress, got some lowered springs from a forum member,

Had them installed at a local mechanic who was considerably cheaper than other workshops i called but i felt the car was in safe hands as the guy had a 911 turbo :lol:

Anyway im loving the look (so is my entourage lol)

http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/8774/20111213173517.jpg


Next is the cars 50,000km service, did those 10,000kms quickly O_O haha and im going to get some volkswagen racing engine and gearbox mounts installed too

still waiting to buy a rear sway bar, might just get a new one if it takes too long on the parts market :>

[Adzy]

Looking fresh now bro!

[just_quietly]

I have to hand it to you mate its looking really good. Congrats. Lowering the stance of the car improves the aesthetics as well imo.

[Nathan_b]

looks great scotty

[Rob32R]

Looks really nice Scotty, keep it up.

[scotty1991]

So this is what im getting put in tomorrow

VWR Engine Mounts (http://www.volkswagenracing.co.uk/Golf%205%20Pages/Golf%20DrivetrainEngine%20Mounts.html)

Going to get all 3 mounts done, will report in on if its as life changing as some suggest

[AKs-R32]

Damn your Gti is looking banging scotty!! once again when are we goin cruising together!

[scotty1991]

Okay so its christmas, and the car got a present, CF front mask, repositioned the number plate too as I didnt want to drill it.



http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/383859_10150432552275146_511095145_9069639_1233802 706_n.jpg

Car has also hit 50,000KM's, so i got the major 60,000km service done early and the above mentioned engine mounts/gearbox mounts installed.

The mounts make the gear shift feel amazing, there is now no signs of axle tramp at all and the handling definitely feels improved due to the less dramatic weight transfer under acceleration/braking. I recommend these to anyone who has a older car, as your stock ones are probably rooted and you dont even know it.

[BBR32]

hey mate how do you find the springs ? im thinking of them

[dk5177]

Hi Scotty,

Thanks for sharing your GTI.

Just wondering where you bought the small antenna you fitted? I would like to change it on my GT SPORT :)

[dimi_108]

Awesome car. 172kw atw must be blitzing fast for our little cars.

I notice your indicators light up like American lights.
How did you wire those to stay on?

Your welcome anytime :)

[scotty1991]

hey mate how do you find the springs ? im thinking of them

The springs give a very nice look and definitely make the car firmer, however i have noticed that ive been scrubbing a little, so im considering going to full coil overs or maybe even buying some tuned dampers. Its mainly during extreme driving, but thats when you really dont want your car to be sitting on its tyres... lol


Hi Scotty,

Thanks for sharing your GTI.

Just wondering where you bought the small antenna you fitted? I would like to change it on my GT SPORT :)

I grabbed it off a forum member, but many sites such as the linked will sell the same item.

Thanks, it is scary fast, which is why I only lasted a week or two before i went for a BBK, definitely the best value upgrade besides a ECU tune.
As for the lights, im guessing you mean the first picture? That was actually taken by the people who did my vehicle inspection, so im guessing they just had the hazards on and took the photo at the right time.


Anyway, more on the GTI!

Next plan is to upgrade the audio, in my previous MKV, i had 2x 1000w subs in the hatch and it pumped

Thinking i might go for a custom install this time though and get everything mounted flush, rather than a hatch full of speaker boxes :P

Burgs is one of the forum members on here.

Don't worry you will get to know everyone :)

[scotty1991]

As low as burgs' old gri?

I think mines lower

[hebe]

I think mines lower

Yep yours is lower as I have the same rims as burgs and they stick out more and judging by his pics, he lowered to just above the tyres which is what I'm after as well. I'd love to go as low as yours but +40 offset would require some guard rolling and probably -2 camber

After driving around the akuna bay loop, i decided that its probably time to get some coil overs as the rides a bit harsh with just springs, not so much harsh as poorly damped.. so in the next few weeks I should get some fitted, at the same time ill probably do the front and rear sway bars, and then the next project is audio... not sure what to do with that, anyone know if its easy to source a cheapish RNS510?

[Seby123]

akuna bay is a good drive! are you gonna set it lower on coils aswell? or keep this height?

wow all that for sound i would of just put that all on getting the k04 then you dont need the audio :)

[scotty1991]

wow all that for sound i would of just put that all on getting the k04 then you dont need the audio :)

A K04 doesnt make that much more power on my car really... 30kw max id say, so its really not worth the cash, especially considering i can spin my wheels in 3rd and even 4th on some occasions from the torque i have... :D and K03 is more responsive, better economy, etc

[Tim]

spinning the tyres in 4th? Are you driving through an oil slick at the time?

[tippah]

Oil slick on the dirt in the rain!

[whitemoo]

woah on the price man. Shopping around and no1 will ever let a MKV GTI with those specs for that price. Unless it had really high kays.

Car is getting assessed tomorrow morning.. will update then

[tuz]

[whitemoo]

[PeppeX]

Insurance probably wont cover the rim if he didn't list it :(. Same with carbon fibre front.

If you are not at fault the other guys insurance should cover everything!

[scotty1991]

I have NRMA comprehensive, eveything is covered and my car is insured for $40,000 so im almost certain they will repair it, im just hoping it doesnt have any chassis damage as they almost never write cars off unless its insane now the repairable write off laws changed. Time will tell.

[adrian13]

:O thats messed upp..as long as nobody got hurt thats the main thing

[mdscott]

That is bad news :( Hope everything works out with the insurance.

Spewing!!!! Good luck with it all

[scotty1991]

Update!

So turns out the car has no structural damage, all of it was cosmetic and the impact foam/front bumper absorbed all of the impact.
Also on the up side im getting the lower body kit colour coded for free while they respray the front! :D

[scotty1991]

All done!
Got the front lip painted too

and the rear valance!

Still waiting on OSIR CF front mask and BBS CH to arrive though, which have a ETA of 4-8 weeks...

[Adzy]

Love the color coding! Seems like all the reflex silver gti crew are doing it... I better jump on the wagon soon

[M4RK0]

Great news Scotty!! :) the colour coding changes the view of the car sooo much!!

[en.elle]

Colour coding looks good! Hope to see it around the hood soon

[MasterKevin]

Looking good :)

glad everything got sorted :)

coming back stronger, i like i like :)

[5317707]

the painted rear valance looks sweet as!

[Mij]

Looking good! :)

How come you didn't do your side skirts?

[whitemoo]

wow, nice front look. almost looks like the lip is integrated into the entire bumper!

[Tinto]

Celebratory burnout.

[OraQube]

ya'all a bunch of copy kents. lol joking...do it bro, looks way cleaner. in my opinion, t's a must do on lighter colored cars such as silver, white etc.

Scotty, nice work there. looks a lot better.

[scotty1991]

Apparently they couldn't get the side skirts off the car without breaking them, and because I got this done for free on the side with my insurance job i didnt feel like paying for more side skirts. Might get it done later, but at the same time the contrast is nice.

I wanted to do it for ages but couldnt justify the cost as it didnt give me any gains other than aesthetics

[just_quietly]

silver MKV GTI's with black side skirts and black wheels looks good imo. Each to there own however.

Straight back into it, parts arriving everywhere!

[scotty1991]

Man, this makes me happy to see! Great selection so far :)

[scotty1991]

Today I swapped to my spare wheels, a set of VW Classixs w/ RE001's on them
Just doing this while i get my BBS repaired, after which I will get new rubber and put them back on.

Handling is fun with these tyres but wheel spin is back to insane with a slight reduction in wheel size!

[10d]

Think I saw you driving up Naremburn exit

[scotty1991]

Dropped car off today at City Performance Centre to get the coil overs, sway bars, bushings and new top mounts installed.
Also ordered a fleet of OSIR goodies, front grille, fog light surrounds, rear diffuser and roof spoiler, all in gloss carbon! :D

[Mij]

Osir goodies! Nice! I like how this car is going. Keep it up :)

Always like OSIR goodies. Are you getting oem top mounts and are you changing the bearings in them as well?

[M4RK0]

Nah got sach's replacements from ECS

[scotty1991]

new suspension installed, AMAZING!!

Slight scrubbing on front under extreme downhill bends

[OraQube]

Ah ok. Now I see them ;)

[scotty1991]

Ordered: high pressure fuel pump upgrade, higher pressure fuel rail valve, stiffer waste gate spring, diesel geek short shifter and D1 throttle controller!

Hopefully pull a bit more power from my motor/keep the power on for longer, if not next step will be K04!!
Also tidying up the gear shift and pedal feel, hopefully those two make it feel more responsive

Hey Scott,

Mate your cars looking great. Do you have any new pics of how the new coil-overs look like?? I would stick to the K03 mate not worth a 6K upgrade :/ As what you sad the K03 is more responsive on the long term. What are running atw ATM? I'm looking at 190/195atw for mine. ;)

[scotty1991]

Currently 172, you wont get 195 with a K03 afaik but i just want a bit more top end where i can tell my wastegate and fueling are the weakness

I know you would be pushing it with the K03, but GIAC has baby files of the extreme tune for the k03. I have a feeling that it could be possible. Even if its not 195, 190 should be k.

[scotty1991]

Arrived today!

Getting installed as I type

[scotty1991]

Coming soon, Stage 2+++++++

Received part one this morning

[Adzy]

Will be awaiting your opinion on going 2+ :D dyno before and after! or dont :(

[just_quietly]

My pump has arrived as well. I'm keen to see the differences and dyno results of your car snott since you got 170+ last time. :)

[scotty1991]

Will be awaiting your opinion on going 2+ :D dyno before and after! or dont :(

Already have a base line dyno of ~130kw stock and 172kw with stage 2, so will see how much more we can get


My pump has arrived as well. I'm keen to see the differences and dyno results of your car snott since you got 170+ last time. :)

Im not just looking for peak power (cause really the K03 wont be able to hit >200kw), but im hoping to strengthen the mid range a bit.

The next piece to be purchased is a front mount intercooler, followed by some higher flow discharge and intake pipe, and a PCV fix/catch can setup, then will get the whole lot re-tuned for a few days by BWA and see how it goes :D

[M4RK0]

Nice man!

[Adzy]

Would love to know what mine is making for stage 2. I have read up a lot on the HPFP and re-tune on the US forums and everything I read is positive.. some (locals) have told me dont bother but all the US forum boys say that the butt dyno definitely can tell there is a healthy mid and upper range increase in power.

[scotty1991]

Got some HID bulbs

Fog lights still to come

[gh172]

Look great, where'd you get them?

Got them from a forum member, karjadi15, he also installed them for me!

LINK to thread (http://www.vwgolf.net.au/showthread.php?9428-HID-Golf-Mk-V-and-VI-bulbs-fitted)

PM him for more information.

But so far im very pleased with them, can see a lot further and the error canceling works perfectly.

[gh172]

Thanks Scott, appreciate that.

Haha, I took the exact same shot a week or two ago, my trip coincidentally read 500.0 and the clock read 3:33!
