    Hei.. Hi :-)

    Cool ride you got there. I really dig your setup, stance and overall look of your Variant/Wagon.

    I live in Norway too (although I'm Danish ) and have an almost similar 2008 Wagon. Mine has the (not so common in tax-horny-Norway) 140hp 1.4 TSI Liter Twin Charger (with supercharger and turbo). Really nice engine and a reasonable fuel economy. It's really smooth and revs all the way to the redline.. I'm actually having remapped on thursday and power output should reach 200hp!! Can't wait for the first testdrive..

    My question: have you considered a new rear swaybar and if so which brand? Or do you find that your suspension setup is controlling the bodyroll sufficiently?

    Hi
    Thanks
    Nice engine you got there, and with 200hp it will be fun to drive!

    have not considered a new rear sway bar.. Only a family car, so don't need that..
    For now

    This wagon looks so friggin good. I gotta say, I think I like these wheels more than the real deal that I had; I think it's because they are 19s.

    Who's making these still? Miro discontinued them.

    So, what bumper panel did you use for your dual exhaust set up? Is it all from VW parts? Or custom body work? I have a 2009 Sportwagen 2.0t with 6 MT I just bought. I want mine to be like yours when it grows up! Keep up the good work.

    If you don't mind, I would love to ask you more questions about your custom dual exhaust. Pm would be best to keep the chit chat off of the forums.
