First Golf R 420 hp (315kw) build in the world - Australian exclusive!

Sand and Salt - any of the mods you listed will be fine for a daily driver & weekend track weapon.

With the downpipe - we have the stock catback & it has an awesome noise (a bit to do with stage 3 as well.)

We will be building our own version of catback in the meanwhile, as with stage 3 we need to free it up as much as possible. RSC will be the go, but it may not happen for a long time due to circumstances listed above. Our S3 APR Australia exhaust is a good one, sold many & the noise is great, inside & outside the car.

Whitejames,

Yes, we managed to remove the ACC, not that hard in the end, a little bit of trial & error, but we have it so it can be easily reversed if required & put back to stock. No dash warning lights, but the control button on the console flashes (quickly fixed by unplugging it - or you can fit a blanking plate). We left all wiring in place, just waterproofed it & tucked it out of the way.

I can vouch for this

How does the APR S3 Exhaust compare to the MKV GTI Quad Exhaust for in-car sound?

Totally different - completely different design - too hard to explain on the web!

Looks ace Guy.
Not really sure about the look of the wheels, might look nicer if they were darker or some BBS ones etc but you are giong for function over looks so i see why you have them.

Looking good Guy!
Coupla Q's...
The stock brakes appear to be single sided, twin pots, is that correct?
(bit hard to tell with the clip and "R" cover on...)
I assume the Enkei's are 18"?

[Corey_R]

I too would like to know whether they're 18 or 19" wheels on the car now.
The other question I have is about the engine cover. Is there any way that the stock engine cover can go back on with a Stage III kit?
Can the engine car even stay on after just a Carbonio air intake is installed in the Golf R?

Stocks are single piston, sigle sided - pretty archaic eh? Still basically the old R32 caliper & they weigh heaps

the Enkei's are 18 x 8.5 - gives us a better range of track tyres to choose from!

Have not spent much on looks on this one - these wheels are ~ 8kg's each & good brake clearance, so they fit our bill nicely!
