Hi all.

This is the reason for the Ceffy being for sale (did I mention my ceffy is for sale?)

Just want to say thanks to the guys on here that helped with some financial direction, partictuarly EvoCam, who was extremly helpful.

Anyway PICS!

PS, for those who dont know. Top model VW Jetta. GTI motor (280nm 1800-5000rpm, 147kw 5200-6000rpm), dsg gearbox standard, and a boot that is bigger than a commodore or a falcon, or a camary, or a 380... 0-100 7.2secs. 8L per 100kms combind cycle. I'm quite happy with it. Just going to get a nice sub, and an amp to give some more guts to the front stage.

Nice :/

Just curious, did you consider a Golf GTI? If so, why did the Jetta win? I'm asking because I'm looking for a new daily and both of these are on the not-so-short list, the Golf wins for me so far (personal preference) but if I've missed something with the Jetta it might be worth another look!

Had the same dilemma myself. Jetta has massive storage space, and basically same performance

But liked the look of the Gti better, so got the Gti. Great car. Just a shame I couldn't quite stretch the budget for the GPS.

They already have mods available for them as well. Might have to get some of the stuff from Britain or Germany though...

Well for me, I wanted a boot. So it really came down to the Jetta or the Mondeo turbo (only came in manual so it went out). That and the boot is HUGE! I mean you really dont notice it until you see it in real life. You could fit a small african nation in there!

I mean the GTI is a harder car, after the cef I wanted something not too distant, but softer. Other thing I wanted the DSG. So the same speced golf came out costing more, for really less car.

And yeah, with a chip they are nuts. Like 185kw and 420nm. With those figures over the same or better rev range it would be just wrong.

Really I wanted an R36 passat. But they cost HEAPS more.

Yeah. And at that money, you have a fair few other options as well.

Quite happy with the golf myself. It was a toss up between that and the jetta when i was purchasing it, but since i didn't need it to be too practical (have three other cars sitting around to be practical if need be), i was able to pick it on looks. I only get to drive it once a month or so, but it's worth it. :rofl:

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
