Hi all,
My names Scott and i'm new to this forum so thought i'd post a couple of pictures of my new purchase.
Last week I purchased my first gti and i love it, one hell of a car! Its had a lot of work done by the previous owner with a huge folder of receipts.
Just to name a few modifications:
R-Tech remap to 268bhp & 301ft/lbs torque
Revo intake kit
Revo mount kit
Porsche front brake upgrade with Brembo discs & pads
Audi TT short shifter
Here's some pictures

Not sure on future plans yet so just going to enjoy driving it for the time being, possibly look into suspension upgrades and give it a full clean/wax/polish when i get a free (and dry) day.
Hope you guys like, any comments welcome :happy2:

Hi mate welcome.
Nice example you have there, some nice upgrades to.
There's plenty of ideas to be found on here and everyone more than happy to help with any issues and advise.
Enjoy mate

Welcome Scott, a nice example you have found with some good mods. What's your plans for it?
-
Thats a good few mods already done to the car especially the brake upgrade
-
This is a really good starting point. NQSBBK and uprated mounts are great mods, and neither would have been cheap.
Get a bigger downpipe and uprated fuel pump if and when you're after more power.
Nice motor. Welcome aboard.

I think I spy a mk6 boy emblem too.
She just keeps giving :happy2:

Thanks Rippers appreciate that,
I have started having a good read of the build threads, loads of great ideas on here and very useful info from all the users!

Thanks mate, not 100% sure at the moment but i'm thinking about replacing struts for new bilsteins and some springs (maybe h&r)
Spacers for the rear, fronts on h&r 16mm spacers so would even it out,
Led interior light bulb kit (has bright blue ones in there at the moment, not a fan)
Possibly some front light upgrades (r32 lights, hids etc)

Thanks mate, they are brilliant, immense stopping power in comparison to previous gti's I have driven :happy2:

Thanks AJP, the previous owner was very OCD and seemed clued up on all the parts he had fitted, all the trouble parts done aswell as many upgrades, i couldn't say no to this one! Once i've got used to the car i think that may be the way to go... And once i've saved some more £££!

Lovely car best colour too :happy2:

Had a productive morning and finally got round to fitting a few bits i ordered last week,
Fitted a new interior led light kit after finding a few of the ones in there were broken, and also not a fan of the colour

And also replaced the drivers door actuator, had noticed it was playing up this last week so got one off of ebay and works perfectly, a surprisingly easy job up to previous cars!

Should be ordering some new bilstein shocks, h&r lowering springs and new top mounts next week to get it sitting perfect :grin:

An excellent mod base to begin your build from.

I drove the car last night and it was amazing how much clearer they are than the blue ones previously fitted. Sorry clearly a noob question but what are rotors? :ashamed:

Thanks Matt, it will save me doing them which is a plus, more time for other mods now :grin:

Thanks Dappr, just thinking what do next now :signLOL:

Ah okay, sorry mate not heard that before :ashamed:
I've no idea on the brand unfortunately they were replaced by the previous owner. I think he said they were brembo discs and pads all round but will have to check
