    Awesome result Guy ....

    It really shows that not all tuners are created equal. Some play at being tuners and others do it for real ....

    For anybody considering to have their VW tuned, I'd suggest you read the magazine and then phone APR ....

    I still don't have a copy of the magazine (QLD is last to get them - for some reason) but a couple of people called me from Sydney & Melbourne telling us we did pretty well!

    Congrats on the win Guy (picked up a copy today). Nearly fell over when I saw how much the Stage 4 mods cost in total.

    Yes nice to see what's possible -though I'd have a hard time at the outset figuring I was going to spend $100k on a Golf!

    Though as the shoot-out shows even for $100k it'll still be hard to beat a stage 4 Golf R.
