[joecastro420]

Looking good guys AND gals!

Wish I could've came out and took some pics/video. Looks like it was a really good turn out.

@Jason: What was the rig on top of your car for? pics or video footage? Cant wait to see what can be done using one of those set ups. I was planning on picking up a kit. But I need to learn more bout it first.

[Marble]

A few that I took last night...wish I would have gotten some before everyone left, or rather wish that people would have stayed later.

[TOT]

I'm in for the Fry's meet!

Thanks Mark for getting us the perfect photo spot! I'd love to go back there sometime and do some individual shots with some people.

A couple of us stayed late to test some stuff and get some individual shots. Thanks to Luis, Al and Marble for helping! I'll have more group ones up later. Here's a couple that I cleaned up today.

Anyone know the mods on that mkv .:R?

Which R? The blue or the grey?

It's just a couple heavy-duty suction cups, an extension pole for painting and some nuts and a bolt the same size as a tripod mount. This was the first time using it. We learning that I'll need a thicker pole to prevent bouncing (yes, there was "that's what she said" all night). The rolling shots were taken with it then the pole photoshopped out. The cars were moving less than 5mph for each of those but with a 1-2 second exposure it makes it look zippy.

[Twiztid_Tom]

Which R? The blue or the grey?

might as well list yours, lol

[Lolasaurus_Rex]

Which R? The blue or the grey?

Lol. I just noticed there were 2. Mods for both or whatever possible.

Blue: Mine
Not much to note as modified, but I love her all the same. I have my mind set on some changes, but they yet to be applied.

HPA Core Interlock
DIY Filled & coated grill
Painted Sidemarkers
BBS LMs


Grey: AWD4416
I can list a couple things, but he can give you a much longer list with better details. Much of the love he has given his car is not noticeable at first glance, but it is coming along nicely.

HPA Core interlock
United Motorsport Tune (Engine & DSG)
Forge Motorsport Intake
Holeless Grill

[Koettingsinc]

Whats up guys I have not been on the forum for like ever. I got a set of RH AD cups for sale check them out I wil give a better deal to anyone in the group just hit me up. Might trade for MK3 Bilstien or Koni struts/shocks. Hope everyone is doing well!

[Lolasaurus_Rex]

I am really on the edge with my .:R. Everyday I struggle to keep my love for it. I'm a go fast guy at heart, and the .:R will never do it for me without some serious coin. My wife doesn't mind keeping it while I get myself a toy, but she really wants an Audi or BMW so I don't want her to settle. I may end up trading it in for a GTI or TDI, even a used Audi or something.

So far I have:
Modified VF intake
Catless - Custom 3in exhaust
Giac ECU software

If I do decide to keep it, it will be staying NA for sure.

[beachball6]

Sell it. I kept mine way too long.

[Morio]

Sell it. I kept mine way too long.

X2!!!!!

Sell it and get your "stance car" like Shawn did!!!! Maybe you can get a mx5!!!

[Evil16v]

Damn MAF....... Blew it up leaving fry's, in half. Just great..... One more weak link... stand alone here we come.
Cop was cool , tho he dug the car n let me get it going NP.. So guess there's a few good ones out there...
Funny it died.. Instantly.

[RanchGuy]

Hi guys,

Been driving a GLI Fahrenheit for about 6months, I actually took it to wasser wagon. I'll definitely keep an on the forum and try to make it out to a g2g and meet ya'll.

[arethirdytwo]

What else are you looking at? Personally I'd get HF cats and a proper tune. Both catless and GIAC are dyne proven to be no bueno.

Do you track the car? If you want better track time then go Shawns route. If you just want go fast then do a basic turbo or by a proper car (more expensive than turbo!).

Very intresting. Thanks for sharing
I'd always wondered about the rig being used and not being in the picture...Its photoshopped out! LOL Those pictures came out great.

tot - the long exposure shot of the corrado's lights and marble's car rolling are so ill!

[TXR32]

Ok so wow lots going on here! I love it! Yesterday was spent entirely with Lauren's brother at Enchanted Rock so I didn't have time to do any photo stuff since we were still using the camera.

I promise to post up everything today. I'll do my best to eliminate any fuzzy shots not worthy but everything will be in a flickr set that everybody will be able to access too. I can even setup drop box for anybody wanting direct access to the picture files. Camera is still in use this morning by Lauren so look this afternoon for them.

THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT TO SHAWN'S GTG!!!!!!

I'm sorry we got disconnected at the beginning, but in the end we all made it!!!!

WOW TYLER!!! Dude you and Joe need to get together to do the photos in the hanger. Between the video's and shots you two would do, it would be an epic epic GTG that no one will want to miss if they want their car exposed so nicely I will work on doing that for us very soon so let's start thinking of a time in July. I really hope our air ride folks can make it out


....and Jason let it be known your car is my desktop wallpaper until further hotness trumps that shot. It will be a while i think

July sounds good for me. I go on leave right after July 4th weekend. Then I'll be on leave till I fly to Kuwait. Let me know I would be honored to do a video for you guys

[chuckoslovakia]

Looks fun y'all!

[Lolasaurus_Rex]

Sell it. I kept mine way too long.

Haha. I know, I'm really stuck on this decision. It is one of my dream cars, but after owning it for a little over 7 months, it's like blah right now.

X2!!!!!

Sell it and get your "stance car" like Shawn did!!!! Maybe you can get a mx5!!!

I'm not looking to "stance" anything out. I'm a function > form kinda guy.

Do you track the car? If you want better track time then go Shawns route. If you just want go fast then do a basic turbo or by a proper car (more expensive than turbo!).

When I bought the car it already had the GIAC ECU software and VF intake. I admit that I rushed into going the catless route and do sorta regret it at this point (CEL).

If I do keep it, my plans are:
UM DSG software
UM E85 Engine software
Shrick Cams
Forge catted downpipes and resonated catback
Pullies

Then try to enjoy for what it is; a limited edition car.

I don't track it, but I'd like to. I don't plan to drop the coin for a turbo kit cause let's face it, it is a big chunk of change for hardly any faster times.

I guess I'll see what happens after I get myself a fun daily driver. See if the wife still wants to keep the car. I'm looking at something Domestic or Japanese.

[TXR32]

Pictures are uploading very slowly ...... internet today in my area is crap so just be patient and take 2 doses of "refresh" or "F5" when viewing the stream. Time permitting i'll put them into their own set.

PM me your drop box account info and i'll be happy to share as many pics as I can at once.

Jason - the low shot came out great man. It should be up soon so you can see it yourself.

[hergti]

Seriously sweet photos! IT is amazing what a camera and cars can do!! I love it.. I'm glad you guys know how to work the camera, Mark, and to the others I may have not met. Thanks so much!

.. patiently waiting

Marble you are right, I should have stayed later. RJ was itching to take his car out on the road upon my return and our baby sitter a.k.a. mother-in-law is out in vacation for the week or we would have both be out (I would have had to drag him).. yes, next time. I want him to make a debut for the VR for sure!

cheers for nice weather, friends, cameras, and euro goodness

oh yea and duh.. Mandi's car is rocking on the new kicks!! so glad the wait is over for you you!
