even better if i had a mk4 or earlier there really arent parts right now for the mkv rabbit. tho ive done well i guess.lol

I blame the fact that you bought a 2.5l

plenty of stuff to buy for mk5's. shoot I've got tons of stuff for my mk6

well ive got flash, bsh motor mounts on ordr, injectors, coilovers, cosmetic crap, bsh intake, catback, sending my ecu out to um for e85 tune next week.h.e.p is making me a intake manifold and turbo manifold as well there is enough stuff your correct but not enough to give hs a ton of my business, so i help by referring audi/mk4 people to them. but when turbo time comes they will be my source of forced indction parts

bought a 2.5 cuz it is a better motorthan the 2.0t at the time i bought the car the potential is limitless, just need cams and this motor n/a will scream. its also the most problem free motor vw has had in a while, only known problem is week motor mounts.lol it also has the most flowing head vw has ever used. for i.e dm motorsports is running 700 awhp on stock valve train, and just now did ferrea vc and now putting around 850 hp.

i did come close to getting a dark blue mk6 gti last fall, but then the r was confirmed for us market, i have to wait and see that first

[dmagic17]

[B Lui]

Yup, started seeing guys that I know like Matt posting up in here, so figured it was time to 'sign up' on vortex again since I couldn't remember my old password for the life of me.

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

[mattnucci]

Another vote for Global Garage! B Lui!!!! Welcome to Vortex again lol

[B Lui]

[maradits]

Work downtown, live in Parma. I actually see a few mkiv's cruising around here. Btw, I need to get my timing belt replaced (85k 2004). Anyone know a good shop or friend who can knock this out for me at a fair price?

what car do you have? i'm located in parma as well. check out hs tuning in lakewood for your timing belt, i know jeff up there knocks em out quickly and at a very reasonable cost

Hi.

I'm new to the Volkswagen club, but happy to finally be a part of it. I bought my blue 2008 MkV R32 two weeks ago and have since driven all over Northeast Ohio happily enjoying my awesome new ride.

I'm located in Cleveland on the Parma border. Hope to see you guys out on the road at some point!

welcome. did u get the car from ganley by chance?

[VR216]

I did. Ganley Westside. Why do you ask?

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

I did. Ganley Westside. Why do you ask?

u got a good car. i test drove it many times. that car was very well taken care of by the previous owner. i almost traded for it many times, but ive gotta wait for the new golf r

[VR216]

Yeah. I had been looking at new Ralliarts and MazdaSpeed3, as well as the WRX. I thought I was going to go with the Ralliart Sportback until one of my friends (who has owned 3 GTIs), convinced me to give the R32 a look. As soon as I got in it and heard that engine growl, mixed with the interior and how it felt, I was sold. I love it.

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

good choice now hit up blue water performance for a e85 tune

[B Lui]

I had a couple STIs (an 05, and 08), and those were both great cars.

[jamesr88]

Nice to see fellow VW enthusiasts in the 440/330/216. I myself am in the 330, and looking to get to some gatherings or whatnot. I don't currently own a VW but I've owned 4 and am looking for a 5th. Anyone with any info would be appreciated

Even if you're not going, if you want to buy shirts / hoodies to help us fund it, please do. Organizers are paying this out of pocket right now and are counting on attendees to buy merch to help. All merch is currently no shipping / pickup at event; if you order something and want me to pick it up for you, just let me know.

[lancerplayer]

I'm in North Royalton and have a 2001 GTI. I recently hit 100K and need my timing belt done. Anyone have some recommendations on shops that do the work right? I refuse to go to a VW dealership based on the reviews I have been reading.

HS Tuning?

Global Garage?

I really appreciate it!

Whichever you prefer, get estimates and take your pick.

[DCdense88]

Jeff from global garage is the most trustworthy, honest, and good mechanic you will ever. Plus, he has a wicked ass rabit that he is doing an all-wheel setup on it. ANy man who takes on that challenge i respect lol. He has helped with some tranny issues i've had on my 24vt and he's been amazing. Can't wait to start meeting at rolling acres mall again on sundays.. Who here is also a eurovagens member?....
