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.

Haha yeah now I think about it title is misleading 

The old girl I brought it off recently put some pilot sport 4s on it which tells me she gave a shit about this thing

Nice!

Although I'd be lying if I said I wasn't somewhat disappointed to open this thread and not find a bike engine golf kart build haha

Lols, me too, I was starting to mongrel up before I'd even clicked the thread.

Then go pick up s3 intercooler from my mates.

He reckon good bolt in upgrade,stock gti intercooler is thinner and plastic.

S3 intercooler is thicker and alloy

Engine light came on after install,cleared it and hasn't came back:)

Still using both factory rear mufflers so it's not loud just bit deeper note seem to boost bit harder now too.

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

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

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.
