here is my previous car..b6 s4:

[DFWSKATE]

About time someone really steps up to the plate since Matt.

What's holding up the fronts?

[GLIfe]

you're doing it right.

[Jon.]

what size tires you running on these?

[kilo7285]

So clean. Seriously wasn't a fan of MKVI's on bags but I definitely am now with those wheels it just looks right. How much would a wheel/tire setup like this cost if you don't mind me asking?

[01]

so ive gotta ask, what is holding you up?

that front end should be sitting much lower.

[SCczar13]

thanks!

Your wipp is phat homie. Can't wait to dump my gli

[mark6kevin]

[Josein06GLI]

You sir, are doing it right

[pattrick02]

Notch the frame and get your roll on (fenders) and you'll get more low. Your wheels and car are on point. I can dig it!

frame is notched...just need to get those fenders rolled..with my stock wheels the car sits completely on the floor, front and rear...i will try to get some shots with the stock wheels just to get an idea..

Love it!!!

You sir, are doing it right

thanksssss!!!!!!!!!!

[xHoldenMcNeilx]

send it to wolfsburg and tell them to start producing them like that

[engineman98]

I love GLI's in white!!

[pattrick02]

Nice job!

[pattrick02]

Nice job!

thanks dude!



sooooooooooooooooooo you guys! UPDATE!

I have made my decision. I know what route I am going. I have started taking proper actions to ensure that my decision travels in the correct direction and ends happily...make sense?

[xHoldenMcNeilx]

are you getting a hooker?

[fresh_paint]

are you getting a hooker?

[xHoldenMcNeilx]

but seriously that makes no sense
at least i said i have a plan for a winter set up ahhaha

[oldskooldublove]

I hate not having money

[pattrick02]

Lol which wheels? New ones or the twists?!! Excited to see either

lol, the Twists! I should be out of work by 1 ish..then I'm heading straight down there to get my tires mounted..they are the only shop around who i can trust stretching tires, or that will even attempt to do it..

And the new wheels are going to be test fit today as well, but then i'm taking them apart this weekend..time for a baller makeover. hehehehe

I hate not having money

lol, i'm headed towards the same direction...actually, i think i'm already there and i just haven't realized it yet :/

[pattrick02]

Updateeeeeee: Porsche Twists, like a boss.

I got the tires mounted today, and put the wheels on the car. Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel. I think the color just isn't working for me. I'm taking them off as soon as I have some time and painting them again. I don't know. Jon, if you're reading this, I think it's going to look better on your car because it's red. So yeah, I'm painting them again! lol.. Anyways, on with the goods, right?

Some with the stock wheels just for the hell of it:









Twists (pictures don't do the color justice..it makes them look like plain silver..):





This is how you haul shi**:





Adapters:







And tadaaa:























Overall though, I love the wheels. I think with the right color, they will look sick on this car. And mark my words: I'm getting these 10's to tuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And another thing....The inner lip on the rear is even closer than my LM's! I didn't get a good look, but they look uncomfortably closer to the strut than the LM's..I can barely fit my pinkey. Fitment like a baller.

And a teaser of my new wheels...Can anyone guess what wheels they are? I think it's pretty easy to figure out..maybe that's because I know what they are. :p Nick, don't even....

[monster20v]

Love the twists!! Nice work!

There is so much that's right about your car. Keep it up man!

[schwartzmagic]

Haha all the people jumpin off the banana boats still?

Whats that supposed to mean? I guess it's supposed to be a joke about all the mexicans, what you caucasians call spanish speaking people,. Soooooo much better than anyone else. Just remember where your ancestors came from. They came on a boat too.

actually the "boats" the cubans attempt to get to the shores of the US in are nicknamed banana boats
it is the most popular form of illegal immigration from cuba

along with this illegal immigration has brought an increased drug trade as well as violence

which is what we were talking about on the second page
thank you for chiming in so late

[pattrick02]

there was a time my friend, where my car was my only addiction. as ive grown older and wiser (debatable) i have since backed off the car thing, but it flares up and i go bananas. thread's like this motivate me because i try to half ass keep up.

i dunno man. i like the brz, but hate the notion of a car payment. also, while this won't be very popular, im debating getting married soon. the other dilemma i face is that i can go plop cash down for about 380 other cars that can be just as fun for less. decisions, decisions. im like you but replace jetski w/ 2nd car.



lame. because im holding out for you to confirm fitment before i order. the longer they wait, the longer i wait will telling them the fate of my car hangs in the balance speed things up?



qft.

what did you end up doing for an exhaust? sorry, you may have answered this above and i missed it.

i'm at that point of automobile addiction right now...gosh, is it hard to fight it! i can't help it! i think it's all the youtube videos and recent car meets and events that has me hooked all over again. i thought this phase was over, but i guess not!

right there with you on the car payments...i absolutely hate them!!!!!!

ohhhh i've tried everything to get them to ship it quicker...i would imagine customs..he said it was already shipped...must be held up at customs or something...they said they are trying to find out what's going on, but it's out of their control. i'm just trying to be as patient as possible. i can understand, coming from another country and all, but damnnnnnnnnnnn. i want my mirrors!

And as for the exhaust, i'm doing a custom 3" downpipe and custom 3" catback, non resonated..maybe no muffler either...or muffler and resonator w/ an electrical cutout....but more than likely just 3" straight through..

And a quick update:

Adapters should be here by Friday! Sweeeet, right in time for Formula D at Palm Beach Raceway...I'm so excited, can't wait!
