Here's my GTI.

Love it. Looks like some mild, tasteful mods.

Thanks! A lot more done to it than it looks, but I like it that way.

Here's a pic under the hood:

Mmmmmm.... That's clean, man. I've decided on a Golf GTI for my next car, now if they only got rid of the boy racer GTI Clubsport and went back to the Performance Pack I'd be all over it.

The ClubSport is an absolute animal! Hardly boy-racer IMO. I do prefer the look of the four-doors though.

I agree, however, I'm not a fan of the styling. A bit too over the top, can't deny what's under the hood though pretty close to R territory in terms of power (192kW) - I wonder how long it will be before the tuners workout a way to run it on permanent overboost...

I'm sure there are times for it already. VWR is soon to release software of their own.

Or what about an R? My friend has one, and with some bolt ons and software upgrade he has added lots of power.

Nothing fancy. 08 Suzuki Grand Vitara 4x4 with the 2.7L V6. It replaced the 08 4Runner in front of it. The 4Runner was great but I was upside down on my loan and it's payments were killing me. The Suzuki gets better MPGs and goes everywhere I took the runner with no problem.

Finally got her all tinted and sheltered away from the Texas sun! :)

Next, wheels but have a hard time deciding as the ride on the factory set is like driving on clouds but I am thinking of glossy black so maybe powder coating these versus buying after market.

Yeah, I believe it. If you find a new wheel just try to get it the same weight.

Do moving pictures count? lol. Ran a 12.1 here. Not the greatest, but every car seemed to run a little slower than expected today.
