Good choice on keeping it.
Because with the problems it has,you would have struggled to sell it for 1800.

GTI6 brakes dont find under 14's you're right, that's the reason I bought 15's for mine, this brake set up is by far the best I've ever had on any car.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about shafts with practically standard power, they arent as bad as people say and if they do break they're dirt cheap and a 15 minute job.
