That's cool Rick. The flat fives fit perfectly on the mkv's. I loved the way they sat on my gti. Perfect offset and width (for me anyway). The RS6's look great on the b6/b7's. Ask Doc, those are the stock wheels he had on the Avant. Not sure if he sold the avant with them or not.

This kit has been discussed many times in the 2.5 tech area. I never even noticed where it was from haha. Retarded!

[rickyboy]

Justin - I havent really thought about it because I wanted to see if it could even be a reality to sell them - depends solely on the chance of me finding those rs6's. I wouldnt even know whats fair market value

Brian - yea I'm getting all nostalgic trying to rock wheels I had on previous cars back in the day.. LOL

and omg scrolling through this page makes baby krishna cry.

I sold them to the buyer of the Avant. He paid me a premium for them even though they had curbage.

They are off 74 when headed towards Monroe. If you dare to go there with the cheapest of cheap MADE IN CHINA parts!!! If you want a good read, then read through their warranty outline. You must keep the original box your part came in if you want the warranty upheld. And the failed part must go through their own engineer's screening to ensure it was a part failure and not failure due to the user.

They are a joke!! Yet people still buy from them all the time.....it's weird.

No problem, glad to have made it out for sure... That's insane on the 2 jettas, I would love to get mine built but it's fast enough for me right now, cops loved me out in Vegas, trying to behave out here - mostly haha

[vrt-retta]

I'm thinking about going down there

[mldouthi]

Anyone have a truck I can borrow to go pick up a motor in Atlanta this weekend?? Im not sure if it would fit in the back of my car.

[jettaglis]

As a reminder any BPY fsi guys you may have recalls that you are unaware of. PM me your vin and I'll check for any open recalls/ campaigns.

[AudiTTim]

Got this guy in!!

Josh, let me know when your ready!
And thanks again for the short shift install. Feels amazing.

PM NmyGLi_06. He has an airbag igniter that needs recall.

Just let me know a week I can have the car...lol. It'll be an all-week project between the turbo-back and the ECM being sent out for flashing. You gonna coat the thing in VHT paint or anything? Or leave it raw?

I'm down for whenever......preferably not next week cause we're 2 guys down at work and we have 205 new delivery cars that are coming in between now and July 1. So looks like it'll be 6:30AM-8:00PM days for me for a while. Plus the dealer is a construction zone, so makes things even better!!!

[jhines_06gli]

Gonna have to call you out Marcus. And tell you to step it up!!

Wow sounds like you'll be busy. Let me know when a good week is for you. I can part ways with the car for a week anytime.

I think I'll just leave it raw.

Excited about getting this in!

[AudiTTim]

Look what I saw while looking at wheels on eBay.

[jhines_06gli]

Who's POS is that?!

I thought those wheels were long gone Craig.

[jhines_06gli]

Hate to say it.......but I would disown every VW I own in a heartbeat!!!

[NmyGLi_06]

Oh my... I think I just wet my britches!

[NmyGLi_06]

Is there anyone that is good with electronics, mainly the stereo systems and head units? I have installed a pioneer AVH P3200DVD head unit in my car a while back but never connected the steering controls. I have the Metra AXXESS steering wheel harness for it to work but can not get the wheel controls to activate. I have tried numerous times to get them to work but unsuccessful every time. Anyone wanna tackle this and help me out? Can't do it this weekend, possibly next weekend? Or any weekday after 5pm.... Beers on me!
