Thanks Dutch. That's really helpful.
Yeah, I think 18s off a Mk7 are probably the easiest and possibly cheapest option too.
OZ Leggeras sure are sexy though...
Thanks all for your advice, all. Quick update:
ECU: Ordered Superchips Stage 1, on its way. Very excited, will report back once uploaded.
Brakes: Found some good deals online, but want to take...
Thanks for the response, jaackyy. That's super helpful.
Brakes: I didn't intend on fitting the brake pads, but figured I'd be better off buying them myself. Have no idea which ones though.

Hi all.
I've had my MKVI GTi for about a year and ready to get it serviced. I figured it was as good a time as any to get some parts/mods fitted. While I love cars, I am not super...
I have decided to go after market. Haven't done a huge amount of research, but so far I am very interested in a couple of Kenwoods.

Proud to announce that I have rejoined the flock. :banana:
Bought a manual MK6 Golf Gti (MY13) yesterday.
Flew up to Sydney and drove it down to Melbourne yesterday. Went really well; car...
Also curious about FST.
I am in Melb but am looking to buy a car located in Syd (near Penrith). Would like to get the car tested before I fly up.
Hi all,
I'm a previous GTi owner and am looking to put one back in my garage. I'm looking for:
> Early MK7 GTi
> Manual (must)
> Service history (must)
> Leather seats (almost a must)
>...
Thanks tig.
Thanks whichy. Nice tip on the E35. I think they were sold in manual, but very rare.
I was going to start my own Mk6 vs Mk7 thread, but assumed one had been done somewhere. That one's an insane...
Thanks whichy.
I'd love a mk7, but I don't think the budget will stretch.
On carsales mk7s seem to start at about 27k. I don't want to spend more than 20k. Even allowing for some negotiation, I...
Thanks tig.
Why would the clutch need replacing? Par for the course at that ks? Or clutch not built to handle the mods?
Hi, I found the following car on Gumtree and it's piqued my interest.

Hi all, I owned a Golf GTi a while ago and am now looking to buy another one.
I'd love a MKVII but I don't think the budget will stretch that far, so I'm looking for a late model MKVI (MY13) GTi...
Forgot to mention the better half drives a Skoda Superb 162 Wagon, so I guess I am already part of the extended family.....
UPDATE: Have just bought a MK6 MY13 Gti. More info below.
Hi, my name is ferrisb and I am a VWaholic. It's been 8 years since my last VW.
I previously owned a MKV Gofl GTi, but cashed it in to...
OK. This might seem repetitive, but I just want to make sure I am clear on this
#1 - The 7spd is more likely to be problematic (diesel is a better bet as I dont want the V6)
#2 - should be safe...
Thanks Tigger.
So the 7spd is the 'risky' one and the 6spd is safe(ish)?
Hi guys/gals,
I'm thinking of buying a used Skoda Superb wagon (pref a 118 Elegance). They just seem so much car for the money.
The only thing holding me back is fear about the DSG. Are Skoda...
