Installed a Vortekz Generator kit.
2012/08/22
Wrapped the roof in Gloss Black vinyl.
Really like the aggressive look it gives to the rear end and it's much more subtle in person.
Flows nicely with the car and the Black/CSG theme i'm going with.

Missing some parts on my car
More to come soon!

Eibach Sportline Performance Springs arrived.
Hope to be able to install them this coming weekend.
2012/09/29
Installed the springs.
Some before and after shots. (excuse the dirty car)

Note that this is directly after install so it still needs time to settle.
I like the drop, perfect for my taste and best of all there is absolutely no rubbing even with 8" wheels and 245 tires :thumbup:
I also got my front lower grill, rear diffuser, side skirts and mirror caps painted gloss black.
These pics will have to do for now.
Car is very dirty and camera phone isn't picking up the difference in contrast between CSG and black, but trust me the difference is there and it looks great!
Will got some better pics when it's properly cleaned.
Some pics i took after getting the car washed.
I really need to buy a dedicated camera.

Took out my Rev "G" DV to inspect it.
Was still as good as new, but said what the hell i'll put the newer Rev "D" in.
The Rev "D" is louder than the "G" which is almost quiet.
The Rev "D" also flutters when it releases air.
The Rev "G" never did that.
12/06/10
Got a proper wheel alignment after giving the springs some time to settle.
12/16/10
Picked up front and rear door sills, as well as, GTI seat inserts.
Will fit them tomorrow.
12/18/10
Will get some better pics in proper daylight, i really like how they liven up the interior.
Will probably be getting mats with GTI in red as well. My mats suck!
Boring Sunday Photoshoot.

Was parking the car in a dim underground garage at 7:30 am before i head up for work when this happens.
Cause? This
Took the car to the shop that painted some of my parts gloss black for him to fix it.
On the way there i said screw it.
Why pay to get it to look the same as before?
Why not paint it gloss black as well?
Why not throw in the front lip and license plate frame as well?
Will pick the car up tomorrow.

Installed ECS Tuning DSG Paddle extensions with carbon fiber inlay.
Made using the paddles so much easier, smoother and more fun,
not to mention it looks great.
2012/11/15
Shit just got MAD!
BEFORE:
I recieved and installed my new Black Dual Led-CCFL Ring Headlights.
I thought noone on the forums had these yet, so i thought i'd go for them.
I must say, the quality on these is amazing for an aftermarket headlight.
I was amazed at how bright the leds and halo were.
I was also amazed that they were PURE white, unlike your standard
aftermarket headlights with blueish leds.
You really need a proper camera, which i do not have unfortunately, to be
able to show the intensity and whiteness of these and just how sick they
look as DRLs.
The headlights came with yellow H7 bulbs, so i went ahead and got OSRAM
cool blue h7 55W bulbs to better match the LEDs.
I also got Eagle Eye H11 55W bulbs to replace the yellow foglights as well.
Onto the pics:

Another boring Sunday.
Decided to go and weigh my car, set a benchmark for possible future weight reductions i have in mind like lightweight battery, spare tire removal, ect...
My car has:
DSG
4 Doors
Full interior
Sunroof
Reductions from aftermarket wheels and DP
Came out at an exact 1400 KGs, which is 3086 LBS with this much fuel in.
My friend weighed his mk6 with no sunroof and stock denvers and it came out at 1460 KGs.
Perhaps he had more fuel in.
Another friend weighed his mk2 TT and it came out at 1300 KGs,
and for some reason i thought my car would weigh closer to the 1300 mark
than the 1400 mark.
Anyway, onto some shots of while it sat on the scale
2012/11/20
Placed quite the order today.

Another boring Sunday.
Decided to mess with the front grill a bit.
So i debadged it and wrapped it in CF.
I like the meaner look.
Note that the car is very dirty.

Finally it arrived!
...and 4 hours later it was on the car. Officially the first K04 MK6 GTI in Lebanon :w00t:
Out with the old, In with the new.
Here is the difference between the two.
IHI
No idea what that orange color is. Water in the fuel?
K04
Still on Revo stage 2 tune and will have to wait till january 10 to get tuned by UPsolute.
Driving the car, i have immense torque down low and up top the car goes nuts, spinning 3rd and a good amount of 4th.
I don't know if this torque is related to the tune requesting alot of boost in the lower rpm range (2400-2500mbar).
Probably it will be less when i get a proper K04 tune that boosts lower but holds at redline.
Did some runs with this mk6 gti (after ko4 install)
http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=175588
Got him only by one car. Car is fluctuating boost and misfiring throught the upper rpm range especially in 4th and 5th.
So i switched back to stock mode, no more misfires, only fuel cuts when im in high gear and go wot at low rpms.
Everything is on hold now until revo dealer gets back into the country.
Next up will be an SPM intercooler, still on stock intercooler LOL.
Hope you enjoyed, more to come soon:biggrin:

amazing and very thorough build thread! love everything youve done with the car
dont know how i feel about your headlights but you should get a HID kit for your headlights

thanks man. i didn't go for an hid kit as i wasn't sure how the headlights would react to them. you know what they say about aftermarket headlights lol. so far these look really good and are definitly a head turner at night. once im done with performance mods i'll buy oem golf r headlights:thumbsup:
