I've been putting off an introductory thread :p I sold the GTI the same week my daughter was born (week of 10/19) to a kid that drove down to get it and I found the Mach a few days later. Had my father check it out for me since he lives in the same city that the car was and I drove up to buy...

and a still... last shot i took of it before selling :( really miss it... rusty lug nuts and all, lol. mods in sig.

so i pulled the trigger -- bought an 03 20th AE gti. has 59k on the clock, 1.8T w/ a 6-speed tranny, APR turbo-back exhaust & tune, a Neuspeed adjustable rear sway bar (makes it feel like a little go-kart!), and couple other odds/ends. only pic i have: going to wash all the bugs off...

so i figured i'd get some advice from those that have done this before. the gti i'm looking at buying passed a carfax w/ flying colors and is totally worth the asking price considering the condition and aftermarket add-ons. only thing is it's a private seller -- i've never purchased a car...

well i've finally found a decent gti, and i'd like to go see it this weekend. anyone mind carfaxing: 9BWKE61JX34064909 you can email it to me at paulg000 AT aol DOT com, or just post it on here. thanks! :flag:

sold to a good ol' boy from Odessa, TX -- drove 10 hours down here to pick the car up. a few farewell pics: old side skirts: (yes, i loved that angle) action vid: http://s98.photobucket.com/albums/l254/ram000/?action=view&current=DSCN2542.flv had a hell of a time...

apparently, some tool is using my car on his myspace page: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=341800989 :nonono:

searched to no avail :( so i'm gonna start the removal of the NX282R cam tonight. we installed it while the engine was out so there weren't any issues. this time, though, the engine will stay inside the car. i'm removing all the accessories and the radiator, but i'm concerned w/ the...

so today's sale was a no-go. poor guy came all the way down from up-state (about a 6 hour drive down, then another 6 back up) and wound up not taking the car. guess the big turn-off about the car is the cam -- it really is too radical for the street, i think, and i can't blame someone for...

been messing w/ the daily driver, despite my wallet and fiance saying "Nooo!!" and finally have it to where i'm content: mods: 18 rs8 replicas (already on the car) eibach sportlines projectors w/ HIDs tinted tails/side markers/blinkers badge-less grill de-badged trunk lid (left the VW and...

finally got a daily driver!!!!! 01 Jetta 1.8T Wolfsburg Edition 1.8L Turbo 113,100 mi 5-spd manual 18" wheels 03 gli tail lights it was DIRTY as hell, but after a few hours at the carwash, it's nice and clean in and out. starting a new job on Monday and i didn't...

Robuilt and I went out for a late afternoon photoshoot today, however it turned out to be a night shoot... clutch cable tore on the way to the carwash. thankfully he had a new cable he had yet to put on, so after a half-hour, i was back on the road. not too happy with the pics--bad...

here's the deal: i got the calipers and rotors from an 03 cobra and ordered the coarse threaded banjo bolts from stang suspension. i also ordered the stainless steel braided lines to throw in there, but they didn't fit into the hard brake line. what i wound up doing was using my stock brake...

searched to no avail. wondering if you guys running the 3550 could help me out w/ a pretty bad leak. there are two seals, correct? front AND tail-shaft seal? on the way to the painter's place, i noticed a rather large puddle (for only having been stationary for about 10...

since he won't post on here, i'll post pics of his car. about to be repainted very soon. stance is perfect!!

your PM box is full!! :D

PICS pg 2!! - change-up: ditching side skirts and rear bumper for a stock rear bumper and svo side skirts from ABCEx (late christmas gift from the fiance :hail2: ).. it was time to get a new front bumper (one i have now is damaged/cracked--as some of you may remember from my late-night...

chopped some rolled tips: the way it sits now: thoughts?

Wes recommended the above-mentioned method of erasing the KAMs (as opposed to disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes like i had been doing, lol), but i was wondering on the exact process of actually doing it. here's what i'm thinking: 1. write A9L tune to a position on the switch -- in my...

so i finally have a tune that works for daily driving and has enough pep for performance. i'm working on a valet tune now, only the only scalars i can think of fixing are the 1. rev limiter and 2. speed limiters. the rev limiters i set to 3500-3800rpm. what should i set the speed...
