New to NZ

[Oecken]

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

Some pics:








And a group one from Scotland minus mine:

Note the cherry rallye High boost supercharged sitting at just over 400bhp

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

Gidday mate, good to see that you made it in.... 
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.
Like I mentioned we're quite relaxed here compared to what you may be used to, get amongst it!
