I thought I recognized this dude on Donut Media videos! It was from the ECS vids that I was before lol

i miss this guy

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

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!

The car looked the best in this episode.

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.

Those Neuspeed wheels are gorgeous!

The production quality on your videos is fantastic, but it's the content that gets my subscribe.

This is a great buid so far. The color is growing on me

Isn't this the guy that now works at donut?

You boys let a real gem go here! Donut Media got a deal

I really need this break system since I go 120 everywhere in my mk7

Zach before Donut 😯

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 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.

I'd like the back end a touch higher. Those wheels do look really good

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.

About to swap my lemon GLI for a white silver GTI Autobahn. So excited

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 KZfaq Channel?

The car looks 10milion times better now :D

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.

Can't wait for the car to be done it's gonna look amazing

I’ll take those wheels if you don’t need them. The nuspeed’s that is. The vw ones are hideous

This is SPARTAAAAAAAAAA

These are amazing love the updates and can't wait for the entire unveiling of the finished gti keep up the great work guys

Rotors don’t warp? What are you talking about.

WAIT I KNOW THIS GUY!!!

That wheel and brake combo!!👌

Nice video whats the background music its dope

Sick wheels! Are those 18” or 19” wheels?

Dang you guys knocking out this build! Love it !

I need a stop tech upgrade like that for my mk6 great video

Beautiful GTI. Amazing

What size wheels and offset did u guys use? They look sick!

This build is hot.

making more purchases soon!

Should brakes be bedded on a brand new car too? I never hear anyone recommend doing that with new cars.

these kit fit probably on a Tiguan MQB too!????

This is filmed like a porno and I love it.

Some mofo is gonna be a lucky sob winning this GTI

Damn those wheels looks good

I've never laid that kind of money on a garage floor before, but if I did, I Imagine it would look just like that.

Perhaps I missed it, it would be helpful to show modifying the dust shields.

Sooooooo clean....fantastic!!!!

Anyone know the official name for this colour? May do a wrap on my GTI next summer

Performance wise, how does that compare to brembos

wheel specs?

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.

Looks awesome already !

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.

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

Those brakes are no joke. What CBE is that in the end shot? Bull X, B&B or Neuspeed?

wheelslook sick!

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?

Golf R brakes: am I a joke to you?

Damn that a nice car love to have it

Zack!!

How did you solve the problem with an ABS pump, to knowing that your car have six piston calipers instead of single piston caliper ?

What’s the weight of old and new breaks? How many pistons have the original one? New wheels are lighter then the original?

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.

i know the caliper and rotor was only installed for the front. but what about the rear. was it just left stock?

what measurements are those wheels.. look so amazing

Heyyyy, isn’t this the dude from donut?

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.

I have a mk6 gti and I’m so confused with brakes. Would the stoptech 328 be a good brake kit for the front?

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?

need a brake service soon anyway, how much is the caliper, rotor and pads taken off from the gti?

I'm in love.

What colour where the neuspeeds? Trying to pick a colour for myself

Cool!

Could you take the old front breaks and put them on the rear

Awesome video

Hey ECS can you ask >>>>AP

I love it!!!

Looking good!

Zack?

I want it .. I’m going to get this car ... but do you need to be local??? Cause I’m from Boston..

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??

what spec are those neuspeed RSE 10s???? TIA

nice works

Nice man what kind of coilovers are on the car?

What are the tints on this car? Is it like 20% all around?

Are the neuspeed wheels 18’s are 19’s? I want the brake kit but I wanna go to 19’s. Lol

What are the specs on the Neuspeed wheels such as size, width, offset, bolt pattern?

were the windows tinted? they look darker

Guys saying six pot is waaaay overkill, clearly have never been on a track before.... Could never have too much brakes!

Will those brakes fit with the stock OEM wheel set?

Are those RSE10's hyper silver or machine silver?

Isn’t that the dude from donut

Is this the same zach on Donut?

The brake kit is just a Cayenne Caliper with Mercedes sized rotors isn't it?

Good look

what size are those wheels?

Did you lower it or is that just the effect of the custom wheels?

This would be sick to replace my mk5 gti that has its odd driving features and weirdness

Does this car have e-brake? If so how did you replace the rear rotors?

And I trying to find the originals…

How many takes did you do for that hat flip? lol 3:02

How much for the stock brakes you just tool off?
