Peak RMS - Mk5 Golf GTi

[pablo]

ah just a reflection

 

[pablo]

and retrofitting all done. MFSW controls moved over into the GTI wheel. Had to dremel out a load of the rubber to make them fit but by f**k they were gonna fit!

 

[svensktoppen]

There is nothing that a Dremel can't sort

 

[Lyons]

Good job! MFSW wheels make a big different in the Mk5, even aesthetically.

Hit that wheel with a Magic Sponge to get it up like new .

 

[pablo]

the buttons are a godsend for stereo volume while driving. they are little touch buttons on the android unit and fairly useless unless you are stopped.

R32 Highline clocks are a nice mod too, but maybe not the sort of thing you are into!

nah they arent functional so its only diverting 911 money

one last thing to do is I refitted the standard airbox and removed the ramair intake. Needs a little tidying up and some small pieces were missing but thats it.

I also have a set of shocks + eibachs so will fit those at some point just to raise it a little and make it more daily friendly (not that I go anywhere daily)

@pablo

Interested to hear your experience with this, similar reason to yourself in buying one is that I don't want to daily the Porsche and having the option of a bit more space when needed.

My budget is also 5k, but would push that for a really outstanding example.

 

[pablo]

Superb cars Chris. Parts are plentiful and relatively cheap. I love them. Look good too even today.

Perfect for nipping to the shops etc without worrying about warming up etc. hop and go.

With a decent head unit they don’t feel dated either.

 

[Chris100]

How many miles do you have on it now? They are few and far between here, but plenty on the mainland to choose from.

 

[pablo]

109k on mine.

Got the OEM airbox fitted, needed some work due to some cracks but worked out ok. Those little grommit things are a bloomin disaster though. Hateful.

No more whooshy whoosh which is nice!

 

[Boydie]

They are so easily broken, best to take it off when warm - I can't remember why but I had the RAC out at my old S3 back in the day and he cracked my engine cover. Fortunately they replaced it with a brand new one and I sold the broken one on to be modified for aftermarket intake

For calls does the new head unit come with a built in mic or what?

 

[Ian A]

Pop the 2 front ones loose then I use a pry bar on the back 2. Can get a bar right in beside the grommets as apposed to just hauling on the plastic cover.

Hateful design either way.

built in mic seems fine. I think it came with a mic too but the internal one seems good enough

Assumed without factory Bluetooth it wouldn’t have a built in mic, will fwd it on to a friend that is looking

 

[pablo]

aye the unit itself has a wee mic opening on the front, doesnt require any oem/external stuff

 

[pablo]

Going to sell this on I think. Never drive it so a bit of a waste just sitting in the driveway.

 

[Blackie]

Looked awesome in the flesh today mate. A lovely car!

 

[Ruairi83]

@Coog maybe another
Or one for @G N K to wreck

[pablo]
