Ommeh's S1 Build

[ommeh]

Hi guys,

After test driving a Golf R, Golf GTi and some other random cars I decided to get this. The torque is just savage compared to the thrust of the R. This car is so fun to drive! Even tho it is slower then the R I just have a smile on my face everytime I drive this thing. Also I'm a fan of having cars people don't have so didn't want to be like every other R driver on the road. Car was picked up Thursday but I've been buying parts while I was waiting for the car to arrive. Stuff is all in my garage waiting to put onto the car. Wanna do it after my 1st Service! If you know my old A1 then you kinda have an idea of what I'm going to do to this S1. Anyhow parts are listed below!

Parts List
- CTS 2.0TFSI EA888.3 Intake Kit
- CTS 2.0TFSI Golf GTI Mk7 PP Down pipe with Hi-Flow Cat (I don't know if this will fit yet. My mechanic is waiting for my car to arrive before we test fit)
- Custom muffler + Titanium Burned exhaust tips (Got these with mechanic waiting for car to arrive to do all the custom pipe work)
- APR Turbo Muffler Delete
- KW Inox V3 Coilovers + Cancellation Kit
- BFI Solid Aluminium Gear Knob
- OSIR Design O-Pod Air Vent Gauge Holder
- Defi Advanced CR Boost Guage Black Face with White light and red needle.
- OSIR Design Manual Shift Boot Replacement
- XXR527 18"x8.75" +20 Offset Wheels with Toyo T1R 215/35/18 Tyres
- EBay Shark Fin Antenna Replacement
- BlackVue DR650GW-2CH Dash Cam Kit (Best one ever! But expensive @.@)

Still deciding on the tune I want to go with. My mechanic is the GIAC tuner in Sydney but don't know if I want to wait for them to release a tune. May jump to APR? or even MTM. At this stage tuning is prob last thing I'm going to worry about.

Wow! Nice car & color ! It is a JCW killer actually so wanted one when they released in Aus Congrats!!

nice car and nice planned mods, i'm pretty jealous. good luck with the parts trial fitting, hope it all works out. i know how frustrating it can be if it doesn't. that's what car modding is all about though i guess...

Just got the tint done. Went 15% and looks amazing. Coilovers, wheels and intake go on this Saturday.

Excited about this!

[ommeh]

Test fitting old rims on to see if the new car was different to the old car.

Good news is they are not. Wheels will fit so I know how much I can push the new rims

[ommeh]

New sounds for the S1!

[jgribben]

Wheels look really good!
love the video too, sounding nice, as for tune apparently the MTM one is vicious. Have you decided what to go with? I'm sure you have seen it but here is the video of their A1.

[ommeh]

Yeah seen that. Tempting but holding out for my down pipe and exhaust before I work out a tune.

*Update*

Bad news.

CTS Intake + CTS Down pipe do not fit. CTS Intake needs a lot of modification to fit. Currently my mechanic is working on customising it to work. Sad and disappointed but that's part of modifying your car lol.

Good news tho... Look below













I'll have a full walk through when I get home.

- XXR527 18x8.75 +20 Wheels + 215/35/18 Tyres
- KW Inox V3 Coilovers + Cancellation Kit
- BFI Gear Knob
