My mk3 project

[Vwnut]

So I thought I would start a new project thread as I seem to have a issue with keeping cars as I bought them. So I have owned many cars previously, Japanese, German etc however I needed something practical and fast so the VRS mk3 hits the spot. I bought the car in May and have already changed the tyres from all different tyres to a set of Michelin PS5's. Also I have upgraded the headunit to a 2019 mib2 unit, so Android auto etc. So after driving this for a couple of months I feel like the car is mapped as it's surprisingly quick and able to spin the tyres in the dry in 3rd. Now plans for the future, first a service later this week, also thinking of changing the plugs,then to fit the R600 intake that already have. After that I just want the car to be detailed and fully serviced to it can go on for years.

Nice! Black always looks super smart when clean but gets so dirty so easily. I had a black Bora Sport years ago and after that vowed I wouldn't have another. Don't see many with those alloys either.

 

Is it manual or DSG? From research, these remap amazingly well and really, I would imagine its all that's needed for a fast family wagon.

Its a DSG and is a nightmare to keep clean. I think it maybe mapped already as it is surprisingly quick. I have changed the stereo to a later one so I now have Apple carplay, so the next step is to fit my Audison Bit dsp and amp and then change the front speaker and soundproof the front doors. The R600 intake has made a small difference as has a full service and new plugs. I was burning through oil fairly quickly so have now changed to 5w 40 oil which seems to have helped.
