You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

just went to look at a new GTi.

I could not believe how bad the service at the dealer was.

avoided answering questions. fairly simple ones.

ME: when the performance pack is coming out,

THEM: OH GTI's are very popular you will need to put a deposit down to get anything.

ME: what is the lead time if I want XYZ

THEM: Oh you should be happy with any we can offer you as they are very popular.

SO I had looked on their site and they have some optional wheels that I liked more Lighter and wider.

ME: How much are the wheels I saw on the VW site.

THEM, oh I couldn't option them, the normal ones are too popular, you could get them from the spare parts department later if you wanted but we could get you some cheap tyres to put on them!

ME: How much is the sunroof on one

THEM: the GTI is a very good buy as they now have capped priced service.(!!!)

ME oh ok how much is the capped price service

THEM, OH we have not set the price yet but is is sure to ber very cheap. I can tell you the price of the Series6 GTi but it won't be the same.

so frustrating.

what a rubbish sales person. ask to see another or go to another dealer, surely there is more than 1 VW dealer down there?

had asked a couple times and no answer so moved on.

After not getting answer no-way I was buying from that dealer, but hoped to get some of the other queries answered not not make it a complete waste of time.

I'm with Dezz I woulda made a point about them not actually answering the question but I'm kind of upfront and discourteous like that, don't really like salesman obviously dodging shit. All you got from that is that the GTI is popular?

At least you didn't buy from em. Next VW dealer you go to, tell them how your experience went at the last one? Should make them drop the templated sales pitch.

That being said, it could be true that the GTI is popular and they are selling enough not to give a shit about answering questions. I remmeber when I was looking at bikes a few years ago and no Kawasaki dealer would give me a Ninja 250R test ride without a deposit because they were new and selling out before they hit the dealership. They have no f**ks for customers unless you were going to buy something that was on the showroom floor.

those wankers at VW were the same when I bought Merowyn's golf...

after dropping $25 then going back a few weeks later to the same salesman and not getting ANY service... left my contact details... twice... with the message I wanted to buy a golf R and he never even called.

basically same pitch too... all they did was essentially explain to me how they didn't need my custom...

and now I drive an evo

lol @ VW's 80s marketing

Can't blame them, though; there's not exactly a shortage these days of people wanting to finance their way into sub-Euro so they can feel like they own a Beamer/Benz.

VW salesmen see this and use the classic tactic of denting the ego by making them feel like they can't afford / aren't important enough to be a VW customer?

looking at the pics from the Syd 34R meet... we all know I go on about 1 particular model, but 29 specimen of the same model variant, you'd get pretty over it.

*crack open bonnet*

woah RB26, no shit!

nice rear diffuser

thanks

...

ah so you went for the single turbo?

yeah it's a precision.

yeah I can read.

you know it's an exciting meet up when people lose their shit when a car in red and also a car in silver turn up.

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.

      Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
