I'll play...

2006 VW GTI 2.0T. No mods yet, I'm still fixing the car from all of the damage the previous owner did to it. First mod will be a dogbone insert to make shifting a little smoother, and give me more power at the wheels. I have an intercooler lined up, then I'll be doing intake.

Dream car is a VW Polo, but the only way to get one is find one that's 25+ years old and import it.

Ahhh another hot hatch, dogbone is the way to go, my friend has a 337 gti and it would never hook up until he got that. Are you planning on getting it tuned after the intercooler? APR and Unitronic are great tuners.

On my list of dream cars half can't be imported yet, America and their laws smh.

The car came with a tune, but I don't know by who... Haven't really cared to research yet, but I'm boosting way above where I should be for stock.

Nice 3 by the way.

Appreciate it!! A lot of sweat had gone into it, that truck would be a bad mother if you boosted it. A lot of boosted trucks are making their way into the scene and they do work!

My hubby won't let me boost my grocery getter...01 suzuki esteem lol
My dream car is an old school vw bug with a small block 350 and wheelie bars :)

Everybody needs boost!! lol. I've seen some pretty wicked bugs around where I am, you can pretty much stuff anything in those rofl.

'14 Veloster, non-turbo - stock
'02 Jeep TJ - not stock

the only pic I have of them together.

Veloster is nice for highways, long drives. Comfy, gets 38mpg, goes around corners like a racecar...could use the turbo option. Underpowered.
Jeep is a toy. Locked, lifted, on 33's. gets 12mpg on a good day. Goes where I point it, if not...winch. My dogs like it.


I also have this old Toyota Echo I drive for work. Including it here for your amusement.... it has 550,000 KM on it and still gets over 40mpg. I haven't done anything to it except change oil and brakes when needed. It gets beat up. I paid $300 for it because the seller thought the trans was gone. I topped the oil up and drove it home laughing.

Yay! Another car thread! OP, love the new paint on those wheels. Dey iz schmexay.

I have a 2013/14 GTI... Unitronic Stage II, DP, TBE, CAI, and some cosmetics. Eventual plans to go K04 (Unitronic Kit) after the clutch gets a much needed upgrade. Her name is Scarlett.

Before I had Scarlett, I had Vanessa who was a 2010 Ralliart. I was in high school so that's why it's all teenaged out. She was totaled in a rather unfortunate accident. :/

I'm game. Currently working on a back halved Nova. Going from an E85 big block on spray to a boosted 6.0 LS, also on e85. I've also got a 90 swb Chevy with a 5.3l/4L60 swap, may be getting boost... About 2 dozen other projects just waiting on my back 40 for their turn.

KPrthevapr, don't do a sbc swap on the bug, a 2332 stroker and boost works way better. Lighter, less complicated and faster. I've run 4.5 in the 1/8th in one I built that drove to and from the track. May be building another one to go pick on an Okie that thinks his junk is fast... Need any tips, just ask. I've got a lot of cheap tricks to make them hook and go.

Man, those new GTI's look better than the old ones. My Audi TT is on the list for a TDI swap, waiting for some euro parts and to finish a few other projects first.

My Nova minus drivetrain. Doing a little rust repair and cleaning a few things up before I get down to business...

Digging the Nova. Yeah, the MKVI is a gorgeous model in the GTI line. I'm not a very big fan of the 15' GTI's though. It's like they made the hatch too low in the back and it lost a lot of it's aggressiveness. The headlights are slick though. Not to mention, the MKVI was the last model manufactured in Germany.

Once I graduate from Mines I'll be investing in an S5! :)

Looks great!! The new gti's are able to make some great power out of a little hatch
