Hux's TR MkV GTI

[Hux]

Ok, so here's mine. Purchased as a demo in Apr 08 with 350km on the odo. Spec is manual with anthracite leather. I'd wanted a MkV GTI since they were released, so I was absolutely stoked to get one.

Mods:
- Koni FSD shocks with Eibach ProKit springs (went with these on White James' recommendation)
- Neuspeed f&r sways (purchased from Doug, aka YouSnooze)
- 18x8 BBS CMs
- APR Stage 1 tune
- Dbilas Flowmaster intake (purchased from Johno, aka Silverbullet)
- X-Force 3" stainless downpipe (with stock catback)
- BSH Stage 1 PCV
- Other misc (Forged stubby aerial, OEM open fog grilles, OSIR footrest cover)

Some pics (hope these work):

[Pharkus]

Red goes faster. Liking the chilli in the garage.

[nath_mk6]

Cant wait to see the JCW Hux, so make sure the missus comes on Sunday.

I almost got the BBS CM wheels, look good on the car :)

[burgs]

Nice car mate some nice mods there, you will have to take us for a run some time so i can check your tune and suspension out :)

[schoona]

Nice form Hux :)

[chris32]

Loving both your cars hux.

Love the CMs too

[Frenchie]

Red is sexy ! welcome Hux

Great to see you on the forum.

[Hux]

Thanks guys! If the missus doesn't come to the next GTG, I think I'll bring the JCW. You guys will love it!

[Jethro41]

Love those wheels Hux ... looks real good

[burgs]

Was lucky enough to take the Huxmobile for a run today, has definately inspired me to do a couple of things.

Thank you for the drive :)

[Hux]

Thanks Jethro!

You're welcome Burgs.

Whaddya think of a night photoshoot with the cars around Newy sometime? Your camera of course!

[schoona]

Wait till I have my sexy shoes on?? Pweeeeeeeeeeese

[burgs]

Definately keen mate :)

[silverbullet]

your ride looked and handled well on the drive today dude. miss that dbilas induction sound. whaaaaaaaa! piiiiiiissssssh!

[G-rig]

Two great cars Hux, look sweet.

Liking the the CMs too as they aren't as common.

[AP]

Your cars look good hux, I like those BBS you are running.. They look like the ones HPA put on there scirocco..

[Hux]

Johno - I can't get enough of the Dbilas goodness. Burgs was a fan too.

G - thanks buddy. I was after unique wheels, so am pretty happy with these. Haven't seen any Golfs in Aus with them.

AP - yeah I think HPA have the same wheels but in 19" on their Scirocco. Theirs are also the anthracite version - instead of the black bits on my wheels, theirs have dark gray (aka anthracite) detailing. They look nice!

[Jig]

I saw your ride Hux at the Terrigal gtg and I must admit, the wheels look really good on your GTI. I did'nt know it was your car but I am glad I saw it in the flesh.

[Hux]

Hey guys, I got some good news the other day at work which means I might be selling my GTI late this year. If anyone's interested in buying any of my mods, just let me know. At this stage, I expect that I'll be parting with the mods starting in September.

Or if you (or anyone you know) is interested in a pristine MY07 GTI with 20,000km on the odo, let me know!

Cheers

[burgs]

Wow big news? will be sad to see your car go :(

[nath_mk6]

Good news, promotion, posting comon spill mate

[Hux]

Posting Nath - 3 years in the US. I'm absolutely thrilled!

Now need to start thinking about a car to buy over there hehe

[burgs]

So many options, can get some awesome rides over there stupidly cheap :)

[nath_mk6]

Nice one M3 here you come?!? So what's an adgie doing in the states? Aren't there enough holes in the ground there already?! :lol:

[Hux]

Nath I'm not an adgie! I'm an air defendo, not a ground defendo!

[nath_mk6]

Nath I'm not an adgie! I'm an air defendo, not a ground defendo!

:lol: my bad.... So where you headed states side, Washington is the norm and navy go to pearl and a few other that I know of not sure where raafies end up

[Frenchie]

Nice one Hux - means we have a point of contact in the US, no more getting shafted by sellers

Alright boys start your wish list ;)

[schoona]

LOL @ Frenchie.

Good stuff Clint, congrats!

[G-rig]

Working in a different country would be sweet..
Pretty low km on your GTI Hux, should be easy to sell!

[Hux]

Nice one Frenchie! Seriously though, once I'm there feel free to hit me up if there is something you guys want. I'd be happy to help out.

Thanks Mal. To answer the questions about where I'm off to - Norfolk, Virginia. Have a look at the naval base there on Google Earth. Friggin ginormous!

G - I hope so mate. Honestly, the car is like new. The back seats have been sat in once. I'm so particular about it. I'm not enjoying the thought of selling it to be honest, but keeping it would be pretty unwise.

[nath_mk6]

Cool isnt Norfolk the largest base in the world? lots of awesome hardware to drool over!

[Frenchie]

I was been 100% serious >D def will be staying in touch with you.. Shame though you are not in the US now as I just placed an order through.
Best of luck with it all and let's stay in touch..
- Frenchie

[schoona]

Hey Clint, if you could manage over the weekend, would you want to get some shots here in Newy before you get rid of the car?

My old mans, Burgs, my bucket, you and maybe a Mk4 GTI ??

[Hux]

I'd love to Mal, but I'm up north in the NT for a little while for work. Once I'm back in Newy I'll give you a buzz and we can tee it up if that works?

[Hux]

Well, my GTI is now on a truck on it's way to it's new owner in Melbourne. :icon_cry:

[Hux]

Almost. It was like saying goodbye to a good friend.

[Frenchie]

Congrats Hux ! Don't worry bigger and better things in the States >D

[stephen8512]

[Hux]
