  • NSW Hello to all!

    Hi everyone,

    I'm new here. Just signed up for a Golf GTI Mk6 yesterday, estimated time of delivery is expected to be first week of August 2010.

    Am really excited to be part of the Golf GTI fan and driver. Look forward to receive tips and advice from the oldbies.

    Welcome to the forums.
    The GTI is a pretty decent piece of machinery.

    What options did you go for?

    first tip should be get an ECU remap when you run the car in.
    Best bang for buck mod you can do.

      I did not choose much, because the availability of cars weren't great to start with.

      I'm having the Candy White 3D manual version, with 18" Detroit wheels, MDI and integrated BT option.

      I wanted the SATNAV+DynAudio option, but the models with this options are mostly 5D models, over-equipped with leather seats and parking assist, which I don't really want to pay for.

      As for the ECU remap, I think I will do it at a later time. My colleague remarked that I am not skilful enough to drive this car in a fast manner, so I guess I will have to practise over time before I have the remapping.

      Anyway thanks for the welcome. It feels great to be here.

        Sounds okay to me.
        It is a definite improvement in fuel economy when drven normally and vast improvement in power/torque and acceleration when driven hard.

        you can get an RNS510 on ebay for $1150 landed so you could always get one fitted after you get the car.
        The car with your options sounds pretty nice though, enjoy it.

          Hi stealthfalcon. My car must be on the same boat as yours. Also a white 3-door manual but staying on stock rims (for now) and no BT option.
          If you dig a hole and it is in the wrong place, digging it deeper isn't going to help.

            Banzai,

            The BT option is an additional option that I request to add on, and is by default not on their factory-shipped cars. Cross our fingers if everything goes smoothly, we can take the keys and drive off on the first week of August.
