Just finished reading the whole thread - awesome car and mods Lucas! Super envious... Been a while since your last post, any more updates?

The reason there hasn't been an update is he's moved onto another project.

You have another build thread to read my friend

Thanks for the kind words gRaQ5. I haven't done much to the car over the past few months as I've been concentrating on another car. We recently got a Mk6 GTI for my wife and I've been tidying that up and doing a few bits and pieces to that over the past few months. If you are interested, there is a link in my signature to the GTI thread.

Yep onto it already - tigger gave me the tip off of your other project

Truly inspirational - what you've done with the GTI gives me hope (and something to work on) with cleaning up my second hand golf R. No doubt there are grit and dirty in all weird and wonderful nooks and crannies

It's nice to declare a project as complete isn't it? I don't think I've been able to comfortably say that with any car I've had.

Complete....never

Installed Verdict Motorsport gear bracket bushes this morning and fitted a new AFE air filter at the same time. Thankfully i get to remove the absolutely rubbish cheap and nasty Viezu air filter that i was using for the last few months.

But the best thing is that i FINALLY (and i mean FINALLY) found my god damn dash rattle thats been driving me insane for close to a year. There was a bolt on the drivers side dash (needed to remove the fuse panel to get to it) that was loose.









MAF screen still going strong:



All back together:

Thoughts on the bushes?

Thoughts on the bushes?

Good compliment to the 42DD shifter bushes. Not as big of a difference as the 42DD bushes, but helps firm the gear feel up a bit further.

Ive been running the bushes (both the 42DD and Verdict) in the GTI for a month or so, so i was used to the difference.

Some small updates to the R recently:

GhostKnit carbon fibre front lip. Nicely made and fits well. Just fitted it this morning.






JOM Numberplate lights. Considerably brighter than the OEM LED lights, but less intense than the Racing Dash ones. Just what i wanted. Got another set coming for my GTI too.

Very OEM looking/quality, and no resistor box needed.

Looks good, where did you get the LED's from and how much
