VW Golf GTI MK5 Race car / Track Car
Description:
For sale is my VW Golf Mk5 GTI Race car. Iv built this car from scratch and has certainly been a labour of love. Iv put far more in this than I’m asking for it. Below is a list of what I’ve installed and some pricing. There’s probably a few bits it could still do with, like the a full custom exhaust and mapping, although I do have a three inch race CAT down pipe that reduces to two inch straight through that comes with the car. It’s currently got a brand new standard exhaust system on.
Iv only had one track day in it recently at brands Indy which was incredibly fun.
The engine has covered 130k miles but has had the oil pick, cam belt and water pump replaced. A PCV delete and catch can has been installed but I haven't run it on track since installing.
Everything from the dash was removed and loom taken back to basic. The ECU has also been reprogrammed to get rid of unnecessary cab and engine bay items.
Car is running stock at 200 BHP, these engines are capable of tuning to 300 BHP without changing the internals. This engine is the AXX variant.
An after market wiper motor will need to be installed as the standard one won’t run once the dash HVAC has been removed for some reason but these aren't hard to do and there is spare switches on the 12v control panel for this job.
Fire suppression, seat and harness are all in date still, the kill switches all wired correctly so not to damage the alternator when operated. Rain light and screen demister fan is also wired up. Heated screen installed but not wired up, poly side window with slider installed and have the passenger one ready for fitment.
All the front and rear suspension is brand new and all adjustable. New rear GTI callipers, six piston big brake conversion completed on the front and using Mercedes ML350 slotted and vented disks.
Sitting on 18” BBS Motorsport wheels with good Michelin tyres, these sports tyres handled incredibly well on track.
Braided hoses and power flex bushes all round.
The gearbox is from a newer Skoda (stronger) It has been re-built with a Wavetrack LSD fitted.
Also fitted is a single mass fly wheel with hard road/track day clutch (very responsive)
There’s probably some bits Iv forgotten but iv definitely spent over £17k on this vehicle.

As in most race cars there's always something more to do, again I would say a tune up and 3" turbo back exhaust would definitely be beneficial. I haven't done it simply because I'm too busy, and I don't see myself getting any track time soon and as you can see in the pics its just gathering dust, which is a shame.
