TFSI k04 OEMplus

[mark_eire]

Just thought I'd throw this up here!
I owned this car a few years back, sold it to another enthusiast who kept it as I did,
He asked me at the start of the year if I knew anybody interested in buying it, so I bought it myself!!
Here it was first time I had it






In the meantime, I had to downgrade as my wife had a baby and funds were tight!!
This is what I was driving, spent a fortune to get it this way!!!







Anyway, back to the vRS!!!

The spec is something like this:

18'' Zeniths
Dual Climate
Cruise Control
Front/Rear Electric Windows
Maxidot
Jumbo Box
Plus all the other usual vRS extra's

I had it fitted with these
H&R Cup kit suspension and -20mm springs
Columbus RNS 510 sat nav
Aluminium seat insert and footrest
HIDS4U Xenon kit
Rear window tints

Some interior shots





2 Tone!




I then bought it back, first thing to do was to get a Carbonio Intake and panel filter




I know there are better intakes available, but I've had these in mk5 Gti's before and liked them


Also got some H&R 15mm spacers on the rear






I also got the front grille colour coded

Next up was to replace the oem gearknow with an Audi S Line perforated knob

I got a Kufatec Fiscon Basic Plus bluetooth kit

Some shots taken recently

I had been gathering some parts for a few months,

Blueflame 3'' downpipe and decat

Forge Twintercooler

Rev D DV

Neuspeed Torque insert

All stripped down for fitting

Next job was to take it to a very well renowned bloke here in Ireland, the appropriately named Joe Power!!

The results!!!

I've got some tint on ebay recently,

Decided to use it on the clear part of the tail lights and mirror indicators

Before:

After:

I've recently had the H&R springs changed for 45/50mm ones, looks much better, will get pictures in a few days once it has completely settled

Quick rolling shot of my wifes car, poor phone pic!!!

Very nice.

[Babs]

Looks tidy

[RobClubley]

Nice!

[mark_eire]

Thanks fella's, really is a totally different car with the remap, definite license loser if you let yourself go......

[muckipup]

Looks great Mark! I particularly like the speed dial for a Thai massage!!

[rob_e]

Some very nice mods there. Top job.

[mark_eire]

Thanks for the comments guys

I got some pictures today of the car on the H&R 50mm springs fitted at last!

Delighted with the results!!

[rob_e]

That's a perfect stance. Awesome.

[mark_eire]

Might as well update this, got a set of 18'' A8 flat fives today,

2 need a refurb, but 2 are good, so I fitted a pair of 235/40/18 tyres for a test fit!

Delighted with the results

[robertwaite]

Looks good. I nearly got a set of them recently but decided against it as they needed a refurb and I found some other wheels.

They are a lovely wheel and look good on the octy.

[mark_eire]

Thanks, I had a set of them on my mk4 Gti last year but they were polished and always wondered what they would look like on a vRS!

Here's the one's I had last year

Anyway, back to the vRS,

I fitted my superb cat vision light today, bought it a few months ago, but never got around to fitting until now!

Painted matt black, I also fitted the old front interior light into the rear so now have individual map reading lights in the back

Original front light in the rear

[rob_e]

Might as well update this, got a set of 18'' A8 flat fives today,

Looks great. I almost got me a set of these last year as winters but ended up with my bbs instead.

[mark_eire]

Here they are finally fitted after the refurb!

Also changed the German plates for plastic ones as every second car here in Ireland has German plates now!

Then I added the yellow lamin-x film to the fog lights.

That's it for now!

[mark_eire]

I've had a few expensive bills lately with this and was starting to lose heart, thought about selling it.

I'd never get back what I've put into it, and the thought of stripping it back to standard didn't appeal to me, did that on my last Gti and it broke my heart doing it!

Anyway, I've decided to keep it, and yesterday I bought a new set of wheels and a few other bits for it, should have them in the next few weeks,

I decided to debadge the rear yesterday,

Amazing how something so simple can look so much better!

The Audi A8 wheels are now removed and up for sale if anyone is interested.

I'll update more when my new bits and pieces arrive!!!

[Stebbiplebbz]

Nice looking car, like the changes and I simply love that color. Glad you found another rims, didn't quite felt like those audi rims fitted, but nice car anyway.

[rob_e]

shame to see the A8's go - I always liked those - what are you doing next?

[mark_eire]

Thanks lads, I like the A8's but I was offered nicer wheels for a great price, so had to go for it,

I'll reveal all at the weekend when I hopefully have them fitted!!

[D@z]

what you going for then Mark

[mark_eire]

Ah you'll have to wait and see Darren!! Any more on the rolling road day up there? Since I'm keeping this now, I'd definitely be on for it....

[mark_eire]

Few small updates here,

I got a pair of engine caps in black, the coolant cover and the washer bottle cover, was going to just paint the original blue covers black but they wouldn't look as good painted

Before

After

I also got a TorqueTronix high pressure fuel pump (HPFP)

Haven't had a chance to really test out how much difference it makes over stock fuel pump, but should make the car even better and faster than it already is with the remap

While I was changing it over, I got a new cam follower fitted aswell

That's all for now,

Oh, I nearly forgot, got these too....

19'' Genuine Phaeton Helios for those who don't know what they are! :p

[rob_e]

woohoo - helios are lovely - especially in grey

are these from that chappie on the mk5 forum?

[mark_eire]

Thanks Rob, Yeah there the one's Donal had, he live's only an hour away from me, so I took his HPFP and Helios off him today!
