jessemk2 Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Got offered mk5 gti as a swap for my supermoto which I passed on i while ago,but sparked my interest in the German corolla. Sold the supermoto and started keeping eye out for a good one. Found a high spec 2008 nz new gti with vw service history and honest condition also I like that its not red white black or silver like 99% of them It was out of town so got a friend to go have a perv and he gave me the thumbs up so I brought it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfashark Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 Keep the resonator - That seems to be the key to stopping the obnoxious drone with these, then do as you please with the rear boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessemk2 Posted December 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 Has a nice burble on upshifts and doses through filter when you lift off the gas which I'm happy with just want a stock looking car that surprises a few people Tuner I spoke to said stock rear section of exhaust is fine for what I want. Maybe later I'll do k04 conversion 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessemk2 Posted December 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Alot of mk5 interiors seem to suffer from saggy roof lining and door cards. This one has none of those issues Conditioned the leather seats and gave interior bit of a clean,actually not a bad place to be. Heaps of adjustment in steering wheel and seat to get good driving position aswell Added some alloy paddle shifts because $40 Ferrari mod 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfashark Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Nice! If they're not sagging, they've either been done previously or you have some sagging to look forward to. Also, remember a DSG shifts faster than the Fezza F1 box, so thats something in your favour. Get a TCU tune done when you get the remap and it'll sharpen things up real nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessemk2 Posted December 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Yeah I've been told can tune dsg to put more pressure on the clutch packs aswell to handle extra torque from engine tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfashark Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Yeah, you can ramp the clamping pressure up to some incredible numbers with uprated clutch packs, as well as altering the shift points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
