[flyingfijian]

Hi all,

Managed to pick up a MK6 Golf R - Rising blue with only 18,000kms on the clock and haven't wasted anytime modding - see below:

APR Stage 2+ Tune
APR Stage 2 DSG Tune
APR HPFP
APR 3inch Dump Pipe
APR Runner Flap Delete
VMR Cold Air Intake
Turbosmart kompact DV
Wagner Intercooler
4inch Gloss black exhaust tips
Gloss black front and rear badge
VWR Lowering springs
CTS Turbo Throttle Pipe
CTS Turbo Discharge Pipe

Future plans:
New wheels?
More Power?

Feel free to ask any questions or say hello if you see me out and about.

Hi where did you get the DSG tune ?

Peerless automotive in Victoria did the DSG tune mate but I believe CNJ Motorsport in Brisbane do APR DSG tunes.

APR has some of the best customer service.
My mate was updating an MK7 and the laptop went to update to windows 10 halfway through.
APR was calling him before he got the window prompt.

Thought about a wrap?

Yeah haven't had any real issues yet so far so good!

I have thought about a wrap but I'm always 50/50 I love rising blue but at the same time deciding if I chase more power or just go cosmetic mods.

Do you have some recommendations for wraps?

Found one place in Sydney that seemed pretty reasonable. Was going to be a lot more than the US, but everything is here. I want to say around 700-1000 to do my roof w/ sunroof black.
Then it was 40+ degrees and I said 'that's a bad idea'

Chris wrapped his last R32 and it looked awesome for the four years he had it. Removed the wrap and the paint was still brand new, like it rolled off the stealership floor. Probably got his money for the wrap back because of it.

Does absolutely nothing for performance. Everybody just wanted matte then and kids were using plasti dip like meth.

You sound like you've done a lot for performance as is. You've chipped it, gone up a stage on the turbo and done the exhaust.
It's not the 6 speed manual right? Thought you had the DSG tuned.
Really can only go for lighter Rims.
Sway bar - really haven't found an after market one I love.
It's time to delete the rear seats.
Change the drivers seat.
Roll cage.
Delete the AC.
Move a smaller battery to the trunk.

Here's Chris lasted R when he got it.
Now after the molesting has begun.





I'll try and find the pictures of the before wrap, wrapped, and after wrapped R32 he had before.

Even old people with VAG's would take a double look.

Ditch the racing springs and get some quality coils that are fully adjustable. Not just height, but dampening. H&R or Komi. I had B+G that were amazing, but they only did a limited run for VW.

Low and stiff doesn't mean better cornering.
OEM shocks are great, but won't last with racing springs.

When you do the math for cornering (it's complex), you have to consider everything from wheel offset, ET, tyre type size and fitment...

Best cars I've seen on the track were only slightly lower than stock, but they could corner on a dime.

Best of luck to your bank account.

Those pics of the Chris 7R look mint! Yeah i think I'll look into a set of coil overs as my next mod. Still not old on the lowering springs yet feel okay but don't know if I love them.

My bank account already hates me this is only going to make it worse haha.
