Yes it is ridiculous. Once I decided to keep it forever, I decided to treat myself to a detailed build that would give me a "new" MKV. So everything under the hood will be new or rebuilt and reinforced for 500hp target. Along with that will be all new wheel bearings, new brembos, new RPFI wheels, new tires. I wanted wider wheels/tires so I went with fifteen52 fender flares.
I had Audi TTS seats but sold those in favor of a pair of Recaro's and some 4pt Schroth belts to hold me in at the track and off course what is a track car without a roll bar. Also adding all 3 of the Unibraces for our car.
With the wider tires, wheels, fender flares etc. stance will be important so I am adding a new set of YCW coilovers with track oriented springs.
I also upgraded water meth to a new Aquamist HS4.
It will also get a new slightly larger rear spoiler, along with new front grills and a yet to be determined spoiler and new rear bottom bumper.
When this is finished the goal is to make this look like a stock GTI ..... sort of, so casual glance doesn't say it looks highly modified but a second look of the much wider stance, big brakes etc start to give it away.
I refreshed the trans just a few thousand miles ago with fresh clutches and full cooling system and an LSD. I may put the more aggressive clutches in but I don't really think I need them. Target is 500hp but I will pull power back a bit for track so I should be fine.
Oh and it also got new windshield and headlight lenses were done (keep it looking fresh). Paint on these is so good I don't need to really do anything.
Anyway I have purchased all the parts above and all this is happening as we speak. Can hardly wait to drive my "new" MKV.
