Yeah its a fun car, limited tuning unless you splash a lot of cash though

Haha kind words coming from the rim king

Looks ace with the colour coded centres.

Thanks mate
yeah they tuned out great, they sometimes look different to the body colour from the shading though
sometimes a lot darker then what they look like in pic

Few things to add that have been recent purchases
LED boot light, which is awesome! Can finally see in my boot at night time now
A little expensive but for the outcome well worth it imo

LED reverse light, mk5's notorious for the rear viability, or lack there of
This is heaps brighter and matching to the rest of the LED's on the car

Also changing the sub/amp setup, originally had a jbl 8" sub and rockford fosgate PBR300X1 amp
Now going a Rockford Fosgate P2D4-8 8" punch sub and Rockford Fosgate P300-1 Monoblock amp

Next on the list is a new headunit that will replace the RCD510, should be arriving soon
I've used a Chinese model headunit with satnav in my old evo before, and I must say it was the best satnav I've ever used.
Not only was it accurate it was super damn fast. So I'm hopefully relying that this will have the same satnav speeds/features as previous

And last night was another impulse buy, however I think a pretty good one
scrolling yahoo japan I stumbled across a near perfect set of BBS RS in 17x8 +35 and 17x9 +35
(only have some small tarnish around bolts, no gutter rash) for a measly $195 + shipping
These will be going a lot more crazy than the current Super RS though, so stay tuned




Lastly also removed rear perches and dropped the front another 5mm. so looking heaps better than before
I'll get some pics when its all washed haha

[dylan8]

winning! even look like original valve steams from here for extra points

[mk5_tdi]

Yeah I've been pretty lucky with the Super RS's and getting original valve steams and the center cap tool (bigger than normal RS's)
these look to be the same, apart from center cap tool but i have one to suit. I was actually surprised no-one else bid though, the next cheapest set on 17x8/9 was $950 + shipping

[Jarred]

Good work. You need to get some HQ photos up though, as this thing looks much better in real life!

Keep it up.

Even looks tough, sounds like a bit of a weapon!

And 68/69 Camaro!? more....

[mk5_tdi]

Thanks man, yeah I've just recently purchased a Nikon d5100 so HQ pics will be up soon
Just with weather and not much time away from work haven't been able to get any

Haha yeah 1968, its an RS not RS/SS. So it runs a 327 hi power engine that makes 350hp iirc
gets lots of looks on road when driving, still LHD and nothing beats the sound of old school v8s

[mk5_tdi]

Well I haven't updated in ages so thought would post up the new mods since my last update... Posting pics in not to distant future

Installed the sub/amp and box
lowered it a touch more
Added sprintbooster that was a freebie
changed front bar to a GTI style one but have Jetta grills ready to go on
Also has a rubber lip kit so it's got "lows" at front
added a ABT rear hatch spoiler
changed mirror glass to blue tinted
Shorty antenna (9" one so I still have some radio reception)
My 17 RS's came in and currently rebuilding to US specs
