PatMusk's RS5 Build & Pic Thread

WoW! Looks freakin amazing.

I have the Eurocode ones. The car is much flatter now. I will be going both F/R again.

+ 1 on the Eurocode combo. F&R bars, EndLinks and AluKreuz made a huge difference in the handling characteristics of my cab.

WoW! Looks freakin amazing.

Thanks woo. Unreal setup yourself! One of the cleanest I've seen.

VAG-COM toys from Amazon came in.

PWOW WiFi OBDII Scanner w/ extension cable + carista pro app on my iPhone.

Super easy to make changes!

So far, mine are:
turn signal LED "wink" turned off
Disabled warning for using NAV in motion
open/closing windows and SR with long press remote.

Any other good ones ?

Loving it Pat! Looking so dialed in.

[patmusk]

Found this for CHEAP on eBay (thanks Scotty). I'm gonna try it on and see how it looks.

Still not sure if I wanna do alu rear valance or not..

You got it man!

Sorry if this video kinda sucks... the turn signal improvement is actually more significant during daylight.

Nice...

[patmusk]

Nice...

Def helps in daylight and with the "wink" effect disabled. Thanks again for these.

The CI-R make the oems look super boring :)

[Entreri]

I will post the details once installed. The only issue is that I will be installing these all at once so it's going to be hard to distinguish their individual effects.


- Pat

So what do you think? Any improvement?

Haven't installed yet. I will surely update the moment that happens but taking a week vacation and may add sway bars to the list and get everything on in a couple weeks.

I have them. A very subtle difference. Car feels a little tighter when you punch the gas. A little less slop.

Looking forward to seeing what the next wave of subtle mods can do for the car.

When I get back from vacation I'm installing:

"Aluminum Optic" Front Splitter
EC Sway Bars
Akipol Rear Diff Mount
034 Motorsport Transmission Mount Insert
034 Motorsport rear Diff Carrier Mount Insert Kit

Getting love at Cult Classic X

POLL: should I change the front splitter to Alu Optic look or leave it alone??

I don't have a solution for the rear valance to be alu (but I don't think I like that look back there anyway, would prob only do front).. Part of me likes the gray splitter also. TORN.

I think Alu front spoiler looks like shit.

I tend to agree but said a little less bluntly. The Alu splitter just looks out of place on the front end, it doesn't tie in with anything. You get away with it more on the gray body cars but I looked at a red RS in the showroom with the Alu front splitter, it just looked, as Jimmy said.....shit.

[Okan509]

I think the alu splitter will set your car off.

[bknewtype]

I love the alu splitter but I also think it looks great as is. cant go wrong

[Hamletcin]

I like it better with the Alu splitter

In my opinion the important thing is that you like it and feel good with it.

[PlainOleS5]

Love the Alu splitter on your car...I think it really gives a good contrast.

But to echo what everyone else has said, it's what ever makes you happy!

[flatsick]

I like the alu better

[Octothorpe]

AluOptik looks great on Daytona (as does BlackOptik). The thing about it though is if you only do the front, it may look a little disjointed, as you don't have the material repeated on the grille, window trim, nor the rear of the car. I believe Nate kept the splitter and rear, but BO'd the window trim, and I think it looks surprisingly good.

Correct on the rear valance... no alu there. But my grille, window trim, and side view mirrors are of the same material (unless I'm confused) .??

[chrissurfr]

I would go black over alu....you already have a ton of aluminum...

[patmusk]

Any ideas..
