Thanks bro.

I was going to get to those but I had to do work.

Since I am here, I guess I will post that Crystal and I had a great time down at Wookies in the Woods.

The R got pushed to it's limits and sounded great doing so. I wish I got more videos of the exhaust and more photos, but we were too busy driving to do so. Next year, the GLI will be staying home and hopefully the R will have more things done to it and we will take more photos and videos.

No problem, bro. And it was a blast.

Nice shots Alyssa.

Wookies

Yes!

I wish I would have got a video of a fly by. This car was roaring threw the woods. Such a good feeling.

No updates. Just been gas and go. The 50,000 mile maintenance is due very soon, about the same time as my GLI 65,000 maintenance, so I will be doing that shortly. I will hopefully be buying the proper tools for the DSG service and knocking all the fluid changes out this summer. Also considering the new Forge intake.

The coilover fund was going nicely, until we had some banking issues and had to drop that cash into an account to keep it afloat. That being said, it has started again and these will be on this summer.

Stumbled acrossed these on eBay today:



Currently bidding on them for a very nice price. If I get them, they will have 215/45 Nitto NeoGen and a 5mm spacer on the rear.

[AWPower]

What about wrapping them in 215/40. Also what coilovers are you planning to purchase?

[VR_Kraut]

Because these are 17" wheels. Putting a 215/40 is too small.

225/45R17: 60.0 mph
215.45R17: 59.1 mph
215/40R17: 57.1 mph

Trying to stay as close as possible to the OEM diameter.

I really want FK Silverlines. But their availability is starting to upset me. Starting to widen my view on other setups.

[AWPower]

Gotcha. I didnt see they were 17s

[VR_Kraut]

S'all good.

this guy just shows up out of no where on cue


I seen that set of wheels the other day, or ones like it. Good deal. Ive been all over ebay and the classifieds for the last month looking for a set of wheels.

You'll eventually run out of words that start with "av".

There are always more.

[VR_Kraut]

There are always more.

You put the "av" in Slave IV.

[VR_Kraut]

Please keep all conversations in this thread extremely intelligent in case Slave IV comes in. I don't want to feel inferior.

That is not nice man.

[VR_Kraut]

That is not nice man.

My bad.

[VR_Kraut]

Ah...oh well.

[VR_Kraut]

Just purchased a set of new black BBS CH's (18" x 8", ET40) today. Waiting for them to ship from California and then buying rubber (215/40 NeoGens). They will not go on until coilovers have been purchased.

Still debating on whether or not to cheat on FK. Their availability is garbage.

[NittanyR32]

Nice wheels! As far as coils check with ESE. I got mine there and only took about 10 days. Only thing that sucks with them is they are in PA so your going to get hit with sales tax. So would be more than ECS but may be able to get them quicker if in a hurry.

I am actually asking if they can ship me silver ones instead of black. The wife really wanted black, but I convinced her that silver will flow better. They have silver ones for sale as well so it shouldn't be an issue.

As far as ESE, I have heard few people say they get their stuff quickly from them, especially coilovers. But I will see what happens. If I can scrounge up more dough quickly, I'll just try them out.

[VR_Kraut]

The Omanyts are for sale.

[germanbycar]

I like the wheelies.

[VR_Kraut]

I like the wheelies.

Not as nice as yours, but they'll do.

Thanks!

I would destroy wheels like Will's. Im not going to be able to run anything with a lip. I would end up bending the **** out of them the way I drive and with the bad roads.
