Hey boys and girls,
Thought id sign up and take a look how the french (mainly pugs) are being treated over this side of the world, been in NZ a year and staying for the winter, possibly looking to move over here eventually but just traveling and working round the world for a while (just over 2 years so far)
So this was my Gti6 that i had to sell in order to fund my travels, was gutted to see it go as a lot of time and money was spent on it over the years:
Modifications:
- OMP Red upper strut brace
- 'Daveyboy' Solid rear beam mounts
- Spax 50mm springs on the front.
- Avo Rear Sus
- 'Miles" Group N solid gear linkages
- Group N solid lower engine mount & gearbox mount
- Piper cross venom induction kit
- Devil decat pipe (heat wrapped to prevent resonating so much) attached to magnex cat back system with with 3" tip.
- Rich-w alloy pulleys
- Crystal fog light / head lights
- New Rear beam, with all new parts, sprayed the standard
red / yellow

Good to see some of his stuff is over here! good relatively cheap little mods, Solid engine and gearbox mounts along with solid gear linkages make a huge difference too :D
Gidday mate, good to see that you made it in.... ;D
A nice looking 6 you had. For sale sections open up after 10 posts if you want to browse what you get for your dollar over here.
