lmao ever time i see gti video im excited.... until i see the chair grandmom stitching pattern ;DDDDDDD then its like "impotence" feeling , like instantly...

[@damagecontrol1049]

Always loved the original GTI rims they have such an iconic look but overall great looking makeover

[@weetsafish4352]

Nice build! I love the choice of car. I personally would have kept the OEM GTI wheels, but the ones you chose were still clean!

[@SmplBuilds]

Fair enough! And thank you :)

[@cyclistman6358]

Stock GTI wheels are typically heavy. Installing lightweight wheels makes a noticeable difference in overall performance. I know from experience on my MK7 GTI. Plus those aftermarket wheels look great IMO

[@weetsafish4352]

@@cyclistman6358 While I agree the new wheels do look great, I've always been a fan of the OEM GTI wheels in most generations, most of all the mk5. I personally feel the extra weight is worth it for the style points!

Hey my man. I love my VDubs I have a few and there a lot of fun. Great choice. Hears some info for fun. So the KO4 swap is probably tuned by APR if so look in the glove box for some paperwork. If you call APR and give them the Vin number they can tell you when it was tuned. What type of tune was put on the car and where it was done at, It usually comes with 3 different tunes Stock, 94 octane, and 104 octane AKA race fuel. This you can switch through the cruise control. The 104 octane. Will bump it from 385hp to over 410hp. You can also add 4-motion to it also known as Audi Quadra drive you can get a Hallex rear wheel drive out of the B6 Passat. Take out the spare wheel well and it bolts right in you have to add a limited slip differential . They also make a Holdax converter that allows you to adjust the power from front wheels to rear wheels. So instead of having a 60-40 split ratio, you can have a 50-50 split ratio. When you launch the car, it’ll be all grab and go. With no spinning. You can also add a lot more power by doing simple upgrades. I recommend boost pipes, upper and lower turbo muffler delete a larger fuel pump and new high tension valve springs. Just those upgrades alone on the 93 octane tune you’ll be to 400 hp. If you’re gonna switch modes a lot, you get APR‘s dongle which can switch on the fly. If you really get into this car, you can build really high horsepower. I’ve seen some guys get 600 to the wheel. You’ll want to pick up a VAGCOM Cable from ECS tuning and use your laptop. It’ll help you to get into computer. On the car for diagnostics, trouble codes, and also other modifications. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. I love the car.

[@z-trip5457]

Jesus, you really know your stuff!

[@siamiam]

simply amazing :) the mods,parts time and effort really did wonders for this car, now yo have a great looking, fun, comfortable and practical daily driver

[@KN-vl9ob]

Excellent work...personally i would refurb the stock wheels add spacers and put them back. HnR springs sits absolutely perfect. Also, off wheel detail is needed

[@jorgedelarivareyes]

My very first car was a used 2011 mk6 golf with the N/A 5 cyl in the exact same red as your GTI. Even though it had its flaws I loved that car, and I really miss it. But my dream since owning that car is a mk6 R or GTI. You did an Awesome job on yours brother. I probably would mod mine almost exactly as you. I love the OEM+ look. Nothing too crazy but still stands out😍😍😍

[@lcs92]

happy to see you doing adds and have sponsors on the projects!

[@ericbarnett6771]

I had Detroit's on my "12 GTi as well. I hated them when I bought the car but they actually grew on me over time.

[@corybyrd3139]

Clean and simple.. This video was totally on brand. Edits at end also en fuego 🔥

[@SmplBuilds]

Appreciate that!!

[@RUOFENDED]

Such tasteful mods ! Love it ! Iv had 2 mark 3 jettas 1.8t and 2.slow! Lol and a mark 2 passat vr6. Such fun cars !!! Mine were all stick shift.

[@Gongolo29]

The video is in another level!! 💪🏻👏🏻

Thank you!!

I have one of these cars. It’s an absolute treat to drive daily!

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

I love that car man, you must be so proud. My *favorite* part is the wheels! Congrats on the ride.

[@SmplBuilds]

I appreciate it!

[@yoitsnio]

The headlights and rims are the gamechangers. once they went on. It was a demon.

[@jakepowellgorton8137]

Love how this came out! We gotta line it up on 37 someday and run it

[@stock__s4]

Those aftermarket’s wheels would fit my S4 so nice, seen a few people rock em and I love them

[@Ryoneftw]

That GTI is looking mean! Really loved how it turned out.

[@COMMONDAVE419]

Impressive editing st the end. Keep it up!! Love the GTI!

[@SmplBuilds]

Thanks so much!

[@Milestradamus]

Nice. I like the aftermarket rims so much better than the OEM. Clean ride.

[@NDFRSTR]

Love, love, love it... I have a MK6 GTI as well, just haven't had the funds to fix it up the way I want to.

[@kushanweranda9685]

Damn bro…. Where you’ve been and where you are now….. loved em from the beginning…. ❤Nice one with the Check engine light though 😂 Keep up the good work and keep em coming…. Good Luck bro… ❤

[@SmplBuilds]

Thanks bro!! 💙💙

[@hellaflushhonda]

a RUNNING ko4 GTI for $3,500?!?!? Even with the defects you said that’s still at least a 6,500 car 🤯 good find bro! Love seeing these especially me being a VW fan with a mk7.5 Golf R and a mk4 20th anniversary GTI

[@salimrandall]

Came out really nice. Congrats.

[@MarkStudent]

$3500 is a good price for that. Fully running and driving with the K04 and the needed bolt ons. There is absolutely a GTI tax today. It looks awesome and I love the rims choice

[@SmplBuilds]

@MarkStudent thank you big dog!!

[@EricHernandez-d2j]

Great build, awesome looking VW! This was one of my dream cars also, hopefully will own one one day.

[@imperialtekk9443]

Wheels go hard bro. Getting that vw itch again after owning 3 of them. Not sure what route I'm going yet either the jetta gli or gti. Or the golf r. Time will tell.

[@nickpotgieter93]

[@MohammadSyed-y2o]

Hey there, I'm new here to the GTI community (new to me '14 mk6 GTI with over 100k miles) - Out of curiosity, I saw you guys help transform cars for subscribers in need, are you still doing promotional stuff like that? If not, anyone you can recommend in the Southeastern US to take my car to (mainly because still poor and dealerships make my wallet cry) -->Maybe worth noting: I'm concerned about fixing/replacing engine parts that need TLC before doing cosmetic mods so I'm not even trying to waste anyone's time, just trying not to get taken for a ride by dealership shops because I love my car but I also like making rent on time :D Congrats on your dream car - it's beautiful!! Love the video and looking forward to deep diving into your videos!

[@twescher]

Very sharp

Just beautiful. Sad that not only that model doesn't exist here in Brazil, the ones that do exist are like buying a hellcat for you guys. Not for the normal working man to have. (Cars are insanely expensive in Brazil.)

[@absentstars474]

Do you walk around saying “veeee duuub” like those old peter stormare commercials now that you own this?

[@SmplBuilds]

Def not 😂😂👀

[@mattsayhi]

this is my favorite car youve owned but, seems like your cars keep going down in value

[@SmplBuilds]

Trying to stick to the budget route! Not keep scaling up until it's unrealistic for viewers.

[@charlesshamseldin9555]

The gap in the middle of the front lip would make me insane. Also the glossy rear diffuser looks patently aftermarket when glossy. Would look better matte Nice transformation otherwise.

[@justingalea5769]

I thought you were gonna fix the front bar? True smpl builds style would of fixed it with noodles and hot glue
