Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[sekas]

No worries Mattlock. Ow and i recommend getting a extra set of bolts or just a couple as you may want to put a few more in just to make sure it doesnt sag in the heat(i live in Darwin) and i have realised that i need to drill one more hole in each side skirt just to keep it looking great. Unless you want to use a glue+bolts but thats up to you [emoji3]

Yes it was a good deal, was just good timing that ipe was having a special, would have been $5200 fitted normally

Unfortunately no. The Audi does but not VW. The only way you will get it is if you have the 8" Discover Pro fitted as the DAB+ can be had as an additional option. I have it and it is brilliant.

if you want to go that way, the man to talk to is Dean from VW Central in Braeside. A great guy to deal with.

Could it then be activated via VCDS with the standard head unit?

I will try some audio in next few days. Cost, well embarrassed to say, could have had a good overseas holiday [emoji22]$4200 installed

Including downpipe? I paid quite a bit more for my IPE although mine is turbo back

Best bang for buck

Just ordered my new golf r my17 and should pick up in the next week or so.
What is the best mods you guys have done and value for money?
In the past I have owned a revo tuned mk6 Gti and also a apr stage 2 mk5 gti.
I'm looking at tune for the r and also considering air intake and dump pipe etc.
What have you done and has it been worth it?

[Mattlock]

Best bang for buck is probably the Berger Motorsports JB1 piggyback tuning box. ~$600, fits in 10mins and totally reversible. My R had it's first service today (with it removed) and passed with flying colours.

$700 fitted? If so, where?
