picking up new car 2/8/06

bought a 2001 vw gti gls 1.8t.

red, 5 speed, turbo, sunroof.

this is a point a to point b car as of now, going to lightly modify until i get the rolla painted and almost finished. then im gonna go sleeper with this one

upgrade turbo
fmic
ecu chip
so on and so on

thier pretty nasty little cars

a kid at my school had a 97 gti vr6, chipped, exhuast, intake ran low 14s

their nice, but a bitch to work on. Make sure the timing belt has been changed cause its a very weak point of volkswagen. I've had to take out the head on the motor 3 times on 3 diverent volkswagens because their timing belts broke and had to replace all the valves.

When I think VW, I think of a portly ass car. What does that thing weigh? It's going to be hard to keep your hands off that thing once you see how easy it is to mod the engine.

thats what im afraid of


it weights 2,860 lbs

sweet thanks

no prob, my dad has a 20th anniversary gti and he showed me that site, I think he wants some go fast goodies lol

Nice car! That 1.8t is a fun engine (i've driven a few), hopefully it will be a good, reliable, quick car for you.

sweet e thanks, yeah i was looking into chipping it, i was going to do it in about a month

but you never finished your other car.

it was like primer and 'in progress' for like 3 years.

and with any hopes it will finish this summer/fall

southern maryland. calvert county

are you painting the rolla?

nice vw by the way

yeah, i cant have a day without a car, so this will help me so i can prep it, and get it painted hopefully at the end of the year

dirty ***, **** snow

nice nice dude, once you get the chip in you'll feel a heck of a difference. The VW and Euro scene here in Denver is getting bigger and bigger every year, is kinda cool

Looks great, beautiful car... i'm jealous actually (come on auto insurance, go down!)

insurance for me on it is 215 a month. $100 more the the rolla. although i took my rolla to laibility (sp?) and its now $35 a month. i think i wanna sell it though, not enough room for it with 3 full size truck in the driveway and garage.

05 Dodge durango, chevy 1500, ford e250 work van.

That's a steal compared to what im paying for my '94 Integra... $287 a month for just PL/PD

So now that you have the car, did your plans change or still going with the same?

nice dub

plans changed, selling the rolla. we were going to put an extention on our driveway, but thats not for another 6 months to a year so im not going to have enough room for 2 cars of my own

let the modding begin!!!! :soon

im going to wait till i sell the corolla to do motor work, im just doing small stuff right now
