Big VW Fan. I've owned them since I was 16 from Bugs, to Buses, Ghia's to Cabriolets and most recently a Beetle ('06) and a EOS ('09). There is something about German engineering that puts a smile on your face. Still currently running a German fleet with 2 VW's and 2 Mercedes Benz vehicles, but this GTI is wicked! can't wait to win it, or see it when its finished. Perfect So Cal GTI!
Tears in my eyes. Perfect in every way! If my son and I don't WIN this one, might just build an exact copy! Euro Cars are our passion. Wheels are fine but look forward to the 3 Piece.
The wheels are 18x8.5" et45 all around, but we used 10mm spacers in the rear to get the fitment a little better. Tires are 225/40/18. They look great, don't they?!
Hey .... Quick product question .... Have you fixed the issue with the short hoses on the TSI gen 1 PCV solution .... I was gonna buy it but then I read reviews stating the hoses we're to short and that if I were to purchase the kit I pretty much would be on my own for finding out how to make the hoses longer .... I ended up purchasing a competitors product so that I didn't have to deal with an incomplete kit .... Btw, this is not the first time an ECS product has been to short .... My ECS brake lines on the front were to short and I ended up having to change them for nuespeed items of the correct length at my expense .... Not cheap .... I wish you would at least listen to customers about issues even if you didn't reimburse them .... Like call the kits or versions V2 or similar to signify an update to the design
Just can't help thinking the rear ride height is too low, looks like there's something really heavy in the trunk. I'd probably raise it a half inch to give the car a more even stance.
It's how it sits visually in the wheel well. They could pull it off but would have to replace a bunch of stuff to change the shape of the wheel well. Not worth doing unless you can do it right, in my opinion.
Rotors do warp, it is not pad deposition. It is more common on cars with automatic transmissions and happens when you have to slam on breaks really hard and come to a full stop and stand still for a while. In that case the break pads work as heat insulators. The heat built up on the rotor cannot escape and the differential cooling of the rotor warps it.
Okay, we've had our differences ECSTuning, but I still love you lol. This car is going to be incredible. Chances of me winning are slim, but im excited. Can't wait to see it continue to come to together. PS: how did I not know you had a TH-cam Channel?
Oil and filter change is around $50, $200 for brake pads, $600 to $800 for tires depending on which brand you get, you still need gas which is like $50 to fill up, keep the car washed and cleaned with, insurance and registration expenses. It’s not a Porsche so Volkswagen is a lot more affordable and still fun to own/drive. Edit: I would love to own a Porsche 911 Turbo but I’m still happy with GTI (MK6)
whenever i think of my mk4, i get all nostalgic snd sh!t, cuz' i loved that car and drove it like i stole it. i regret not taking care of her and selling her to this day.
what he means is, they will win the car with the aftermarket parts installed and givew the stock parts back incase you need them. Think a little bro, come on.
6 piston brakes are overkill for this car. It's too small to need brakes this big and a lot more unsprung weight when a 4 piston caliper would've done just fine.
Not sure if that specific kit would work, but we have some options for your Passat: www.ecstuning.com/b-assembled-by-ecs-parts/v-volkswagen-passat_b7/c-braking-performance/
mm... quite strange, the surface of contact of the pad on the rotor seems exactly the same, I guess that the pad will be bigger but the contact surface seems the same.
Wow, what a difference those wheels made. The new ones that come on the mk7.5 are so ugly anything would be better but these really look nice. Sweet brakes too.
I thought I recognized this dude on Donut Media videos! It was from the ECS vids that I was before lol
Money Pit Miata!

This series is unreal I love the way you are doing this build 🔥🔥

The production quality on your videos is fantastic, but it's the content that gets my subscribe.
Those Neuspeed wheels are gorgeous!
i miss this guy
The car looked the best in this episode.
This is a great buid so far. The color is growing on me
Zach before Donut 😯
What size wheels and offset did u guys use? They look sick!
The wheels are 18x8.5" et45 all around, but we used 10mm spacers in the rear to get the fitment a little better. Tires are 225/40/18
I really need this break system since I go 120 everywhere in my mk7
I’ll take those wheels if you don’t need them. The nuspeed’s that is. The vw ones are hideous
Performance wise, how does that compare to brembos
what measurements are those wheels.. look so amazing

What’s the weight of old and new breaks? How many pistons have the original one? New wheels are lighter then the original?
i know the caliper and rotor was only installed for the front. but what about the rear. was it just left stock?

I love those rims. It should be an option to keep those as an alternate for the winner if they don't like the 3 piece rims.
Rotors don’t warp? What are you talking about.
these kit fit probably on a Tiguan MQB too!????
What colour where the neuspeeds? Trying to pick a colour for myself
Will those brakes fit with the stock OEM wheel set?

wheel specs?
Assuming the new wheels are 19” x 8.5 ET45? Since you said the original 18” Austin’s aren’t big enough for the new brakes to fit etc?

frosty A B also inclement weather. These guys mean well but they are just pushing a product to sell.
need a brake service soon anyway, how much is the caliper, rotor and pads taken off from the gti?
Sick wheels! Are those 18” or 19” wheels?
What are the tints on this car? Is it like 20% all around?
I'd like the back end a touch higher. Those wheels do look really good
You're right, looks like there's a 100 kg in the trunk!, but awesome GTI.
Nice man what kind of coilovers are on the car?
WAIT I KNOW THIS GUY!!!
Can't wait for the car to be done it's gonna look amazing
How did you solve the problem with an ABS pump, to knowing that your car have six piston calipers instead of single piston caliper ?
I want it .. I’m going to get this car ... but do you need to be local??? Cause I’m from Boston..
How many takes did you do for that hat flip? lol 3:02
Haha I actually got it second try!
what spec are those neuspeed RSE 10s????
TIA
Could you take the old front breaks and put them on the rear
What are the specs on the Neuspeed wheels such as size, width, offset, bolt pattern?
Anyone know the official name for this colour? May do a wrap on my GTI next summer
White Silver Metallic
what size are those wheels?
Are the neuspeed wheels 18’s are 19’s? I want the brake kit but I wanna go to 19’s. Lol
Nice video whats the background music its dope
The car looks 10milion times better now :D
Are there any stock upgrade kits that would work such as an RS4 brakes on an 8p A3?
Do you need to make an account on ECS to be in the giveaway??
Great video! I have a question, I'm owner of a 2015 VW Sportwagen TDi SE, and wonder if those brakes may fit? It has original 17" wheels.
Should brakes be bedded on a brand new car too?
I never hear anyone recommend doing that with new cars.
Are those RSE10's hyper silver or machine silver?
Are those neuspeed wheels 19s? I wanna fit a BBK but dont want to deal with 19s. Currently running Rotis KPS 18. Will they fit?
Those brakes are no joke.
What CBE is that in the end shot? Bull X, B&B or Neuspeed?
You boys let a real gem go here! Donut Media got a deal
These are amazing love the updates and can't wait for the entire unveiling of the finished gti keep up the great work guys
I have a mk6 gti and I’m so confused with brakes. Would the stoptech 328 be a good brake kit for the front?
were the windows tinted? they look darker
Okay, we've had our differences ECSTuning, but I still love you lol. This car is going to be incredible. Chances of me winning are slim, but im excited. Can't wait to see it continue to come to together. PS: how did I not know you had a TH-cam Channel?
Can these rotors fit on 18" Austin wheels?
I'm waiting to save 50 bucks so i could at least have one entry. My mk4 is on its last legs and this thing would be a dream come true.
Well, if you have to save up 50 bucks you wont be able to maintain the car anyway lol
Oil and filter change is around $50, $200 for brake pads, $600 to $800 for tires depending on which brand you get, you still need gas which is like $50 to fill up, keep the car washed and cleaned with, insurance and registration expenses.
It’s not a Porsche so Volkswagen is a lot more affordable and still fun to own/drive.
Edit: I would love to own a Porsche 911 Turbo but I’m still happy with GTI (MK6)
whenever i think of my mk4, i get all nostalgic snd sh!t, cuz' i loved that car and drove it like i stole it. i regret not taking care of her and selling her to this day.
About to swap my lemon GLI for a white silver GTI Autobahn. So excited
Perhaps I missed it, it would be helpful to show modifying the dust shields.
How much for the stock brakes you just tool off?
The winner of the car will get all the stock parts!
what he means is, they will win the car with the aftermarket parts installed and givew the stock parts back incase you need them. Think a little bro, come on.
What color is this gti?!?
6 piston brakes are overkill for this car. It's too small to need brakes this big and a lot more unsprung weight when a 4 piston caliper would've done just fine.
yeah pretty much, but they look good lol
Can never have to much brake
Does this car have e-brake? If so how did you replace the rear rotors?
Daniel Mejia I believe the rear rotors were replaced with the stock size and the stock calipers were retained.
Anyone know the name of the song on this video?
what percent tints are on the gti?
This is SPARTAAAAAAAAAA
That wheel and brake combo!!👌
This is filmed like a porno and I love it.
Agreed!
@Private Eyes Thats Classified information for your "Private Eyes" only... 👍
Dang you guys knocking out this build! Love it !
Beautiful GTI. Amazing
Would that big brake kit fit a 2018 Passat GT 3.6L?
Not sure if that specific kit would work, but we have some options for your Passat: www.ecstuning.com/b-assembled-by-ecs-parts/v-volkswagen-passat_b7/c-braking-performance/
@@ecstuning thank you
Which Coilovers did you go with?
Those are H&R's Sport Plus coilover.
Zack?
Isn't this the guy that now works at donut?

Are those wheels 18 or 19 inch?
18x8.5"
Did you do the rear brakes as well?
Yes, we used Stoptech upgraded rotors, pads, and stainless lines.
Isn’t that the dude from donut

Lol im a luck sob owning the GTI Clubsport. Which isnt even availible in America... 😄

Sooooooo clean....fantastic!!!!
This build is hot.
What clutch is going in this ?
DKM hooked us up with a high performance clutch. We'll have a video once we install it.
Anyone know the songs name?
