VR6 is all I can remember. Pretty sure he had another car as well, not sure if he sold his mk5 or not
mind is all over the place from work currently
tune was about $1k iirc?

nice, and thanks mate, would you say wheels and suspension then tune or the other way? do you regret doing the other stuff before the tune or happy with the way you ordered it? (only asking because im not sure whether to save for wheels and suspension or get the tune then wheels and suspension... leaning towards wheels and suspension coz the power is enough for me... just a bonus later but apreciate advice)

I'm planning on taking an in depth look at the intake of the 147TSI when I get a chance, and comparing it 1:1 with the 125TDI.

That should shed some light on the situation.

Just do wheels and suspension if the power is enough
i had tune first, because I was forever waiting on parts lol

Sweet

not gonna do the wheels till my tires get close to the markers as I still have good tread on them. So gonna do the bumpers, suspension then wheels & tyres. ( anyone have any recommendations for cheap tyres that are any good? I'm talking like $600 new max... For 4 )

My suggestion is that if you do anywhere near the amount of k's I do (9 months and 30,000) then don't go for anything larger than 17's...

My front stock Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT+ wore out in around 23,000km.
At $450/corner, thats not cheap.

Cheapest I could find were around $150/corner. Some el-cheapos to see me out until I eventually get some 17's.
17's will have much cheaper tyres. XD

Fair enough thanks for that I'm looking at Lm or Rs reps can get 17's or 18's not sure.. I think 18s would look better but yeh tyres is a big thing...
