Building A VW GTi In 10 Minutes!! (Budget Build! $3k)

The worst accident that I've ever been in so let me show you guys what happened. So as you just saw from the intro we did end up totaling the Mark VI GTI that we just finished building. I loved that GTI so much that we went ahead and picked up this car. I bought that Mark VI GTI, the DSG with the K04 turbo and I had so much fun with it. You guys saw the build on the channel and when I crashed it I just wasn't done with it. I wanted to do some more stuff to it. I was excited about it. I wanted to have another Volkswagen. So this one is the six-speed manual. It is no longer a DSG like my last one. And the best part about this next GTI is that this is our next giveaway car. Simple Car Giveaway number four. Don't forget to get entered. In today's video we're going to be showing you the complete transformation of this car from start to finish with about $3,000 in modifications and then we'll be giving it away to one of you guys.

And it is bone stock. There is not a modification done to this car besides what I already did to it and I'll show you guys that right here. Bone stock. So that is bone stock Mark VI GTI exhaust. We are going to get the muffler and the resonator chopped off. So let's the resonator and the muffler delete. Alright go ahead. Sounds pretty good. Gave it a little bit more volume. Nothing too crazy. We still have the stock downpipe and the stock catalytic converter so still muffles it a decent amount. Huge thanks to the guys at JCC for helping us out with this exhaust. Alright Ahmad also just hooked me up with a free detail on the GTI for you guys. So they're going to hook it up. This is the JCC Car Wash Auto Spa.

This is what we're going to be installing and then we will take the intake box off, throw this in and then I'll show you guys how much of a difference this makes. This is the old one and this is the new shift linkage. So obviously you can see the adjustment right here and then you have a slider here. So all the way to the right is going to be the shortest. Stock airbox is all back in. Let's show you guys the adjusted short throw shifter. It actually made a huge difference. It's super notchy now. Super cool. Check this out. All right. Up next, we're going to be throwing on this $50 eBay rear diffuser. Should be a pretty simple install. We just had to bolt up a couple of these fins on here with some nuts and bolts and some L brackets. And now we're just going to pop the car up on the lift, throw it on here and I'll show you guys how we do it and then what it looks like after. Check it out. All right. And that is everything installed on this little diffuser here. I think it looks really cool. It comes with spats on the back, bolts right up super easily. So really stoked on that. I think that makes a huge difference on the rear end of this car. All right. Up next, we got some tint going down. My man's Pedro over here at Advanced Solar Control is going to be hooking us up. Say what's up. Say what's up. I know you all miss me. Probably do somewhere around what? 20% and 35%? Either way, it's going to come out really nice. Obviously, this thing is fishbowl right now. You guys know I don't usually always do tints, but we're going to do tints for you guys on this one since it is the giveaway car and we want to make it right. Oh, tint. Tints. Don't say tints. Oh, don't say tints. Tints is not the word. Oh, from the man himself. Don't say tints. We're tinting it. We're getting it some tint. Tints is not a word. ...the car and brought it back over here. So the tint is finished. I think it looks absolutely amazing. This is 20%. We ended up going to 20%. I wanted to go 35, but I think 20 looks a little bit better. It also gives a nice amount of privacy, but on the inside, you can still see a ton. Let me show you guys what the inside looks like when you get in. It is really, really bearable. So it gives a nice shade and it's nothing too, too dark. You can still see at night. So this is 20%. I know you guys are going to love this tint job. So I'm really stoked on how this turned out. Now that the car is tinted, let's move on to the next part of the build. It wouldn't be a complete build without some suspension. So we got some adjustable coilovers going in. I'm going to do a quick montage for you guys. Not going to bore you with all the details. Just got to tighten down these collars here. Preload is all set. We got some new sway bars to go in. Everything is bolted down, tightened up, and on the back, same thing. Everything is bolted down, tightened up. This locking collar is tight. This boot goes there. That's tight down there. We got new suspension all set up in here. Looks super good. Same thing on the other side. We just tested the ride height and everything looks good. So up next, we got the new wheels.

Looks really good, I think. Really excited about this so far. So we got a couple more things to do, but I'm gonna back it off, let it settle in, take it around a lot, make sure everything's good, and then we'll jump on to the next modification. We're gonna be completely revamping the front end of this car. We have some new headlights, we have a new grille because this one is cracked as you can see here, and a new front splitter. So really excited about this. I'm gonna montage all this stuff to not bore you with all the details, but basically we're gonna be swapping out these headlights, front grille, and front splitter all in this quick montage. And then we're gonna move on to the back and we have some Check this thing out. This looks absolutely insane. I mean that looks pretty cool, not gonna lie. These look really sick. These look absolutely insane. Check these headlights out. Let's move on to one of the last modifications, I believe the very last mod, which is the taillights, which I showed you guys earlier. So these are the similar taillights that I had on the last GTI, but these are gonna be the non-smoked version. So I'm really excited about these. These are the Golf R style.
