[ripNdip]

[ehWudupdoc]

[Pinky25]

Where did you get the BBK from?

[DFWSKATE]

let me know how the IRS swap goes. ive been really interested in it.

ive heard mk5 will swap right in but havent seen anything concrete.

[gli_boi]

Where did you get the BBK from?

Forge Motorsports

[gli_boi]

where did you get the euro headlights with the bi-xexons?

They are the original E-Code headlights from Germany and I did the retro fit myself

[JNmk6]

Where did you get the gli exterior parts and do you remember the prices ?

[jpcacosta]

Did you replace the Fender sub for a JL sub? Can you explain a little bit more about your audio setup, please.

[Nogaro20th]

2 Questions after a statement...

Best looking exhaust tips so far.

Where did you get the exhaust tips?

And how did you install the GLI sideskirts?

[gli_boi]

Where did you get the gli exterior parts and do you remember the prices ?

Dealer... The prices will be higher for you unless you have a direct parts account with the dealer.. Bumper was around 480 with the cover and diffuser and skirts were about 69 a piece

[gli_boi]

Did you replace the Fender sub for a JL sub? Can you explain a little bit more about your audio setup, please.

Yes the factory sup has been removed. I have an Audiocontrol processor that takes the audio input from the OEM harness from the sub, then converts to the proper output level signals and goes into the JL Audio 500/1 amp which feeds the JL Audio 13TW5 sub

Tips were supplied by my friends exhaust shop, which I want to say are manga flow tips.. I'll try to get part numbers..

The skirts are mounted with the factory double side tape to the body and clipped in underneath the car using the factory mounting clip that's on the skirt which requires removing couple of the drain plugs

I'm very interested in replacing the Fender sub with a 10" JLW6. Pesonally, I think the Fender sub is the weakest part. Everything else sounds .
Which audio control model did you use? Are you satisfied with the sound? I'm assuming speakers/amp/HU is stock, right?
Thank you!

Audio Control LC2i

I am very satisfied.. Yes the head unit and the remainder of the Fender audio remained un-touched

Hello new IRS rear setup

[DFWSKATE]

mk5 rear? or mk6 GLI?

[gli_boi]

mk5 rear? or mk6 GLI?

Audi A3 to be exact, but just from overlooking both a MK6 and this subframe it looks pretty much all the same.. Doing the swap next weekend so i will deff be documenting the whole thing..

[Mo_Focus]

sweet ride, keep up the great job!

[REDGLI2012]

thats what i love about the car scene. people taking a stock car and turning them into works of art in theirs and others eyes. love the tdi and im no fan of them. you get five stars from me

[ripNdip]

Dumb question but what's the benefits to the IRS other than being able to camber?

[gli_boi]

Adjustment if camber, toe, and most importantly having your wheel centered at all times

[gli_boi]

So i had a customer with a MK6 GLI come down to my work so i could lurk under his car and compare it to mine.. Looks like a direct bolt in swap for the IRS except one bolt hole is not threaded which is a simple deal.. can't wait!

[DFWSKATE]

it was nice meeting you this weekend. thanks again for the info on the swap

you really need to update this thread with new pictures

[dc5rn]
