So I've been on the look out for a new car for a weeks now and have picked up a Phase 1 GTi6.
Absolutely over the moon with it already, fantastic car.
I just happened to look at Jtrigga's project thread and he was thinking of selling it, so a few conversations later, I was on my way to London (on a bus for £5.50
).
Car is in really good condition, mechanically sound and even all the electrics are working! It's just gone over 75,000 miles.
Plans are just to make it generally epic.
Thinking fast road and track spec.
It's begging for a rude exhaust more than anything at the moment.

Cheers mate, in a strange way it feels like I'm home again.
Not too sure, completely different kettle of fish now. I'll have a read through the forum, there will be some gold hidden in the depths.
Are decats on a petrol legal? Or is it just as long as it meets emissions, you're in the clear?

Fair enough
How is the merc? DOES NOT MATER!!! Should have gone for a '6.....
Merc is very nice thanks, its no 6 granted, but its nice and comfy, does good mpgzzzzz and handles ten times better then my miami did
il have a peugeot gti one day
Stick up a project thread so I give some shit in there, no need to spam my own thread.
One day, one day indeed, one day when you invent the world's most awesome yogurt
Yay!!
Looks awesome man, got to love a Sigma '6
.
Yeah, decats on petrols are illegal. You may be able to get it through an MOT with a friendly tester, but won't stop you getting in trouble if it ever got questioned. Worth it though
Glad to see thats gone to a good owner hope you do all the things I wanted to do. Was sad to see it go but I know you will make it more awesome
As curt said it will fail mot with a decat fitted but either find a friendly mot tester or have the cat fitted for the mot
Ok, well MOT is due at the end of next month, so I'll leave it alone for now.
Gives me time to source parts.

I know what you mean.
I'm thinking subtle mods and I'll keep the interior, so it can always go back to how it is now. The last thing I want to do is 'ruin' it.
Why does it have to be slammed?
Looks awesome Carl glad to see you in a 6 at last
Interested to see what you do with it man
Looks good
welcome to 6 ownership
Lots of free info on the 'other' forum.Just about everything tried and tested, could save you some money and time?
Nice looking phase 1 gti-6 you have purchased there mate
Welcome to the 6 club (not that I drove mine) :-)
Looks good will be epic just not a exhaust the size of the dturbo
I reckon you should do a phase 3 front end conversion and paint it yellow
Lovely car.
In all honesty, if the standard exhaust doesn't have any holes in it it is actually really nice. Quiet, sure, but very well-matched to the engine.

Curts right and the simple way of getting around it is normally fit a decat then just change to a cat for mot but a lot of police now are catching onto this and looking under cars for decats. Simple solution - Take shitty aftermarket cat (not the genuine one, if it still works, they are worth a fair bit and becoming rocking horse poo), gut it and weld a straight pipe in. Job jobbed.
