lowtdi's mk5 build

[ChristopherJ]

Lots of work done with the Golf, looks great. My brother has a petrol MK5 Golf and wants the the black around the car body coloured, just looking around on here seeing what that sort of thing would cost to do, he woudn't ever do it himself, so whats a good company that does this sort of thing? He'd love your wheels on his Golf as well, his is the excact same colour as yours, so gives him a great look at what his would look like.

yeah the sport line look is nice side skirts and a colour coded rear really help. i think the gti rear is the best looking mod on mine cheap to be done to !
I've heard body shops don't like colour coding plastics because theres a lot of prep time and it can still crack/ flake
if i had my time over again id just go cheap coil overs, tint, and some nice wheels.

see if they can code in a 3 bar MAF sensor, the sensor is only about 60 bucks and gives a lil extra fun

Think you mean MAP sensor. Why would you need a 3-bar sensor unless you are boosting that high.. Are you?

edit.
Actually just looked at ETKA and both your car (BKD) and mine (BMN) are equiped with part number 03K 906 051 C already which is a 3 bar sensor. 03K 906 051 without the C is a 4 bar sensor.

sweet ! haha no need for it then

[getjet]

Good to know.

I was thinking id have to upgrade the MAP sensor with the hybrid. Im assuming that the Jetta (BKD) also has version C.

Hows your clutch going? Its standard, yeah?

[jamie88]

my clutch? still strong,
i believe the bids torque limit first gear to prevent to much shredding.
I'm usually wrong though

[jamie88]

have been offered a good dollar for my golf
and found a ralliart colt which i enjoy.
cheap maintenance, cheap fun, still under drivetrain warranty.
tomorrow might be the end of the tractor.

[ForceFed]

Nooooooooo. Really?

[jamie88]

yeah really haha,
golf has 230,000kms and I'm bored with it.
the colt only has 66kms on the clock, services and parts are dirt cheap
I'm getting a stage one tune for a case of beer, stage 2 is only gonna cost me about 1500 bucks,
a stock colt got 3rd at targa a couple of years ago in production.
they have a getrag( bmw) gearbox, sachs clutch, big ventilated brakes, evo 8 recaro's, lots of other little fun bits.
I'm pretty excited, but sad to say goodbye to vw, until i can afford an r32 haha

Good luck for tomorrow then, I'll take your rear bumper and side skirts if you are selling

Saw you drive past just this arvo.
