Finally I have a gti-6 - Dj306 - 01-09-2014
After more than ten years of wanting one I finally got a 6 , and I'm loving it. I'm keen to go to a few trackdays and would welcome any tips or advice. I also interested in buying black masks if anyone has some for sale.[attachment=18756][attachment=18757][attachment=18758]

Hello and welcome
6 looks quite tidy! especially for a P reg! Whereabouts in the country are you?

Best thing for the track is a second set of tyres with proper tyres on
Think there's a guide around for doing your own black masks if you feel up to it - have a search in the guides section

Welcome along fellow Blaze 6 owner. Very nice looking car that. My advice for track days would be to get some good brake pads. I favour Ferodo DS2500 for the front. Not the cheapest but they last really well and i never got them to fade. As already mentioned, get some good tyres on spare rims, toyo r888's or something similar. Once you do one track day you will find you will be wanting to uprate your suspension too.
You will have a lot of fun in that car and they are capable of shaming some far more powerful cars on the track.

If you haven't got quite so much to spend on r888s you could look at federal 595 RSRs which I've used on track and for the price were very good
RE: Finally I have a gti-6 - PartyJas - 02-09-2014
Dmack to a well priced track day tyre too. Not used them myself but heard good things about them.

Hey guys thanks for the positive feedback. I stay near Perth in scotland. Few more details on the car: got gmax super sport shocks and springs on the front, pugsport cat back exhuast and k&n induction kit placed nice and low down by the front bumper, that's how I bought it. Since then I've fitted uniroyal rainsports , omp upper strut brace(a noticeable difference just with this!) Crystal headlamps from a ph3. I'm hoping to get down to ecosse soon to get my hybrid arb fitted that I got from spoox motorsport and the front lower strut brace to match the upper. I'm hoping this should get me off to a good start. A bit further down the line I'd like to fit the steering rack and torsion bar from a xzara vts and will get the bar lowered a couple of clicks before fitting. I also want to fit bilstein shocks and dampers as I hear they work great, but as with the brakes(as the previous owner replaced all) it's hard to spend money for a part to replace an already new part! Oh and by the way, it only has 78000 on the clock.
Also getting the cyclones refurbed and powder coated a nice dark anthracite. Also gonna remove the fogs and get a trumpet and short hose to make a cold air feed.

Oh and sorry to keep rabbiting on but I'm also considering having a bash at retrimming the door cards and poss roof as well, anyone who has done this and can give some pointers would be great.
RE: Finally I have a gti-6 - PartyJas - 02-09-2014
78,000 miles. Nice one. That's a keeper for sure.
RE: Finally I have a gti-6 - Orta - 02-09-2014
I've always wanted a blaze...
Finally I have a gti-6 - rocker8742 - 02-09-2014
You should get yourself a lower strut brace on mine as I found that made a huge improvement to the handling - mines one that was made by a guy on here that goes by username rippthrough
RE: Finally I have a gti-6 - Eeyore - 02-09-2014
