HEY WELCOME! i'm a big vw fan, but from the opposite HONDAh's.
I sold my turbo'd k20 integra and purchased an evo VIII. this car is a hell of a machine. it's much slower than my honda for now but corning, traction, a/c, and brembo brakes make it all worth it. Welcome again.

Well thats what my friends in the VW world are calling me......
Well besides that old guy...
DO i still love VW's...yes....
will I ever build another beyond suspension and basic stuff..........
NEVER.....
High whp front drive cars suck....period...
VW just makes everything a pain in the ***
Tuning is the worst.....tuning cables...hell no....well Eurodyne for the 1.8t engine...but thats it...........
its all plug and pray flashes that are overpriced and e proms for the older cars
can i get and lsd from the factory.......NO...hell no
dumb *** stock turbos that are so small you can plug the compressor inlet with a 50 cent piece
Can i get AWD...well sort of....its not real AWD its front drive with rear assist
and only in the Bloated R32.......the fat overpriced pig of a car......
Can i make a good R32...sure dump 10,000 for a turbo setup and software...
another ..
some head studs and ....getto 200 dollar head spacer or go for low comp pistons and more $$
1,800 for LSD and Clutch......a few more huns for wide band and boost gauge...........proper rear sway bar........
1,000 for the good Haldex controller...( the retarded electricly engauged rear diff).....or hack your own for a 50/50 split oops for got another 1,200 for a diff for that pos.....
then you get a 500whp awd car......is it worth it NO
all the other VW's are front drive....with poor *** brakes
Not to mention 90% of the VW comunity is more facinates with slamming their junk to the ground with air bags
..
And am going to change teams to the EVO camp..cant wait to have one in my garage.......as soon as the garage is built....thats another story......
So i Sold off my 88 2,550 lb 320whp GTI

im in for the over 40 thread as well...Just need to finish the garage and driveway...then i can seriously start on getting an EVO sitting in there...when i'm not driving it
I just dont get the whole slammed to the ground thing...all the VW comunity thinks having 10 destroyed oil pans hanging on the garge wall is the best thing scince sliced bread....sort of like a tribal arm band tat..lol
And air bags are just plain stupid on any preformance car...we have a customers car that is just plain dangerous because of a few "COOL" VW things....MK4 R32...air bags..rubberband tires 500+ whp=get into boost in 1,2,3 or4th gear..spin junk *** tires..change lanes...not on purpose....scary and sort of fun...but dangerous as hell....
Its OK darwinism takes care of them....drive at high speed..with your car riding on the bump stops hit a dip or g out during a lane change..lose controll of slammed car end up wrong side up..or worse.....
and the shave engine bay thing make me want to hurt myself...
I seriously think the goal is to make the vehicle totaly undrivable...cut out the rain tray so the car allways smells of burning engine oil...because any sort of PCV system is not cool at all....exhaust so loud no girl will ride in the car...sure sounds like a good time to me..................
not to mention no open source tuning options...I'll never look back...thats why when i do get my evo i'm removing the rear view mirror.....Objects in mirror are insignifant as im allready ahead of them and moving on..............
