[Estate]

Love the plate.

[kraftwerkb6]

Biggu, wagon looks good dude!
I like the new ohio plate then the old one for sure too.

[timmiller05]

What tires are you runnning biggu? Car looks good

[Biggu]

Thanks for the comment guys ,

Tires are Falken ziex 512's in a 225/40/18. the 512's are known for running skinny so it compairs to a 215/40/18 in another tire brand.

well.. count me as one of the people who thinks the orange sidemarkers actually look pretty good on this car... and normally it's the first thing I suggest people change

Kraftwerk......I'm with root. Like the orange sidemarkers. I usually don't but my first thought when I saw it was, "nice, I like". Adds a bit of colour to the black theme. BTW, love the pics. Very nice. You must have worked hard on your JSW to get it that shiny....NICE! Cheers

X3 I think it would look killer to match the mirror signal lights to the marker lights as well! There was a black mkv GTI on vortex that did it and it really looked good!

nicely done, Biggu. i wondered if those would poke (et35, right?), but they sit nicely

yea, i think I'm going to keep the orange for a bit, need to buckle down and save up for a bit.
No, just washed it at work and wiped it down real well with some quick spray wax. My friend made the car look better in the pics then in person. lol.

FTFY

Y'all are killing me with ugly orange reflectors looking good comments...let me guess, you think a big red pimple on a hot chick's ass looks good too cause it breaks things up a bit?

Anyway, probably the best wagen on the forum (even with orange reflectors).

Kraft, your buddy's pics are legit, btw.

Like others have said, this looks dope.

What are the wheel specs again?

[Biggu]

thanks guys makes me feel welcome here

wheel specs are 18x8.5 +36. I was super worried they wouldnt fit when I had them at sock height the front poked a bit.

Ass is ass, lol.

Im looking around at the moment, alll this chit chat made me start looking now haha.
But im getting married in June, so potential wifey is now Going to be Wifey so JSW is kinda put on the back burner.

Kraft, any higher res versions of those photos? say in the 1680 by 1050 range or higher?

Thanks all for the compliments on the pics. I forgot I had a vortex account

The pics Kraft posted are the largest I have saved right now but I can make a wallpaper size if people want. Which pic do you prefer?

Why, all of them of course

[timmiller05]

Put my summer wheels back on today and spun down the coils a bit more. 24" fender to ground rear and 23.75" front. I'll try to snap some pictures later after the boys out back wash her up

I forgot you told me this last night, i was like WTF he is on here lol.
yea i need some high res ones too. make a poster and hang it up in my room!

[zoops]

Images 4 and 6 are the two I'm looking to use.

Okay cool. Those seem to be the most popular

I'm going to talk to Kraft and probably make a couple of edits for him to use for poster size prints. I'll post wallpaper versions too. Maybe 1920 x 1200 and see how clear that still looks

[kraftwerkb6]

true $hit

[JETTAWOLFS98]

I saw a Golf with the Tech Package today and I keep thinking why VW continue making bad decisions. the JSW in other countries have HID's with LED's and fogs from factory and here VW force buyers to spend more money to have those futures, don't you think the sales would jump if they offered more options.

Master knows we like the TDI...

so went out today after work. took my car out and a stock car out.
both are 2010, tdi, jsw's manuals.
stock car has 20K on clock, mine has 28K so pretty close.

Stock car saw at idle(starting) cooler at 38degreesC and a high of 45degreeC after back to back to back pulls of 2nd-3rd and 3rd to 4th.
we did a number of pulls like this to see quick cooler temps and to get the
cooler heat soaked quickly. although its only 82 here.
The stock car im sure, and like mine, would have gone higher after more pulls but we wanted to be quick and just get some rough data.
The cool down time inbetween was slow we found out in the stock car as well going up to 48 and then coming down to 45,40,38 but was slow inbetween runs.

My car on the other hand started out at 34degreeC and a high of only 40degreeC. a difference of 5degree during the runs. After the 2-3 and 3-4 pulls, it never went above 40degreeC but keep in mind, with the tune, we build more heat because of more boost. we did the same number of pulls as the stock car, in the same areas on our test track. but the biggest difference was the cool down time inbetween runs. the high of 40 and moved down to 34 almost instantly sitting at idle and coming down from the 3rd and 4th gear pulls. i was pretty impressed.

For the 5 degree diff. for all the pulls and the cool down time i think it was pretty impressive for a cooler that fits like a glove(oem) and isnt crazy in price.

I plan on doing some more when the temp goes up more and I need to get another boost hose. But other then that Im pretty happy with the results for the time being

[kraftwerkb6]

Also, everyone see APR is selling VWR stuff now!
The race wheels are freaking awesome, i really like them, almost enough to get them ahaha.
