My Mk4 buildup thread...

[Golf Houso]

I wouldn't worry about that, Neil seems pretty level headed. It's pretty obvious that everything he is doing, he's doing because he likes it.

No shame in showing it off though. It makes you feel good and aslong as you don't get an inflated ego about it, no one else will care.

Fair enough, just I've seen a bit too much of this business here already and it has gotten quite ridiculous at times. People needing to qualifying themselves and judging others by their cars and level of mods, utterly pathetic. As we saw on Mickey's thread recently...

Looking good Neil, I'm looking forward to this new "aesthetic" mod of yours, whatever it may be, and it better not be like an aero wiper blade or something lol...

It will be only in Aus. I dont intend on going into a HP war, the reason I have chosen the path I'm going is because I specifically want the torque also. There is only 1 other car in Aus that is running physically a similar setup to me but they are having issue because of software or their basic engine. The way I'm going about it is going to be completely unique and I'll reveal more at a later date.

I have also another motive behind what I'm doing. I hope it will bring further competition into the Aussie tuning scene. You'll have a better understanding of this later once we sort out the whats what.

In where? Australia? Mod the car the way you want, not according to anything or anyone else. But don't do something stupid like spend 7k on brakes on your daily

Please don't engage in some HP war or try to keep up with the Jones' so to speak, you'll just end up unhappy in the end

Bloody hell you go to bed early and look what happens...
Looking good Neil. You've definitely got me intrigued into what you are doing. When you say second most powerful MkIV in Australia are you taking into account that HPA twin turbo R32 that's here in Brisbane? I'm not sure what he's putting out but I can't imagine it's an insignificant amount of power of horses?
Basically I'm asking the question who are currently the most powerful and what setups are they running?

Also a general comment not directed at anyone in particular. While I never saw what happened in Mickey's thread (have heard about it though) can we all try and be bigger people and respect eachother modifications. Bagging them out especially when they are no longer here to defend themselves just makes us hypocrites.

Neil, I have sent that email.

You couldn't work with Chuck Norris, as you can't keep secrets! Inspite of having Oppenheimers or something.

Sorry, I should have said Mk4 GTI. I might be getting a little optimistic, but we'll wait for the results and see how we go. On paper it should be, but theres a lot more work to be done between now and then.

Yeah, see his problem is that he forgot that it was supposed to be a secret..

You all still don't know the finer details yet so all hasn't been revealed...

Cool no worries. I'm just not fully sure with what's out there around the place and what has been done before. I'm sure the old 1.8T can pull some crazy figures with mods anyway. Keep us posted.

I can wait.

I have heard mixed reviews. I don't want to loose out on torque basicly. I'm going to wait and see how she drives after the new turbo goes on before I decide on how I'll manage that. If she pulls like a steam train then I'll consider it but I dont want it to end up being a HP with no grunt.

Hi guys, I could be wrong, but if you go with a lightened flywheel than torque will decrease due to a lighter spinning mass and vice versa, a heavier flywheel will increase torque, so a single mass flywheel of similar weight to the dual mass would not decrease the torque. I only bring this up because one of the first recommended mods when increasing HP figures for the 1.8T is to replace the dual mass fly as they don't like to much HP. And then increase the clamp force of the clutch.

If this info isn't correct, I would like to know as this would be one less thing on the mod list and could be oney spent else where.
Cheers Troy.
