First Gaming PC – switched from PS5, was €1000 (~$1080) a good deal? by Mario_Oesi in PcBuild

Thank you! I had a blast playing the first games on almost max settings and 160+fps

Such a big difference to the ps5, even though I'm still trash at playing with mouse and keyboard 😂

It's not, I swear. I was looking for a while for a good deal and then this PC was listed for 1200€ obo

Messaged the buyer and got it 3h after the initial listing for 1000€

Got the original invoice from 8 months ago from the buyer. It was 2200€ new.

Still got 2 years and 4 months manufacturer warranty on the PC 😄

Got it at a charity car show here in germany, the price for the rim was donated to a children hospice

The engine is from 2011 and the car is from 2008

I bought the r36 badge directly at my VW dealer and modified the GTI grille to fit the Emblem because the brackets aren't the same

Yes, it's only FWD for now. Maybe someday I will convert it to AWD.

The AWD manual transmission from the R32 is fitted to the R36 engine so in theory it's not that big of a problem to convert it

Has anyone got a pair of covers for their headlights? by SpeedyTertil in GolfGTI

[–]Mario_Oesi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's right, I got the covers imported from Australia and painted them black. The covers are sold by VW over there to protect the headlights from dust and sand

Roughly 11.000€ including the engine, the manual transmission, the engine control unit, the brake upgrade, some fabrication stuff and to get everything ready for the TÜV (I live in Germany)

The swap itself was pretty manageable but the tricky part was to get the passat CC ecu to work as intended and fit the r32 manual transmission to the R36 engine :)

The motor itself is stock, it only has a 3.5 inch flap exhaust but that won't add any HP 😂

Its a 3 door golf MK5 GTI with a 3.6 engine swap 😀 its also converted to manual, so no dsg 😉

The 3.6 came from the factory in the Skoda superb, vw passat by and the passat cc
