Tiguan20t's Build Thread

[beetleboy023]

Ok first things first purchased a brand new 2012 tiguan s model 6 speed manual fwd suv. Love it to death. so the build begins. Stock photo first. Bought in February.



After two weeks purchased cc concept wheels in 19 inch from a good friend for $500.00.





Next was the euro plate attachment on front, which is now currently on the back since the rear bumper comes with a place u can put a europlate on.





Also Installed a Red Neuspeed intake.

Next thing was the St Coilovers along with Red RS3 Audi wheels.





This pic was taken at waterfest 18 by the eem media crew:



And finally I have done stage 1 plus apr.

Future proceedings are gonna be:

abt grille
turbo upgrade
downpipe with custom exhaust
Red Neuspeed turbo intake pipe
Front Mount Intercooler
Possibly air ride
Custom Car Stereo System
Vent Boost Gauge
Short Shifter
and Currently I am painting the plastic engine covers to match the red and black wheels and red and black intake.

More Pics to come as I finish more stuff. If anyone has any questions ask me. hehe.

How much lower can you go with the coils?

Do air ride and sell me your coils.

[beetleboy023]

air ride is expensive only way i can do that is with a personal loan that is tough as hell to get with the economy and thats the lowest they go, actually have to replace the strut mounts already. because when u do coilovers the stock strut mounts go bad and start creaking.

Hows the ride on the ST's?

[CandyTig]

Nice Ride!,
You didn't mention anything about window tint, but your windows look darker than the factory tint. Did you do some tinting and if so, what percentage did you do? Or do the windows just look darker in your pics for some reason? Thanks,

[officerjon]

Seem's like another guy looks lower on those, maybe your wheel size is deceptive as far as how low you look.

I just cant make up my mind......

lookin good man! congrats on the purchase

[beetleboy023]

decided to go with air ride setup during the winter, gonna be alot of money so the coilovers will be up for sale and will be a bargain of a deal. ill let everyone know when the truck goes in to get the airbags done on it, then the coilovers will be up for sale. the window tint is 20% all around and yes i wanted 19's, i didnt want to do 18's on a truck, also the tires have alot to do with it, i dont like rubber bands of tires. so i opted with a meatier tread.

I think ive seen you driving around patchogue, truck looks good

[beetleboy023]

thanks man i figured u lived in patchogue, the house in the backround of ur picture looks familiar, guessing u have air ride done or is it just coils with smaller wheels.

That picture was in front of my job, went air a few months ago, actually ordered everything the same day haze450 started his build thread . Airlift slam's f/r, frame notch and replaced the rear lca's and am running autopilot v2 management . The wheels are actually 19s they just look small in pictures. Ride quality does suffer some as the suspension geometry is all out of wack i have to start looking into shorter lca's for the front and upgrade the rear sway bar.

[beetleboy023]

ok, where did u get ur work done at as far the notch and stuff. and who installed the airbags. what rear shocks are u running. we have a big club on long island u shoudl come down sometime, we are right at hurricane wings on wed nights at around 8 in hauppauge off the lie, dont know if u have heard of us eemilitia, maybe ill see u down there sometime.

Swoops did the notch, I was no nervous to do it myself, every thing else i did myself over a long weekend. The only difference to installing coilovers are the modifications to the rear, and running the electric and air lines. It was like a 100 degreas that weekend so it was slow going but everything went smooth and no issues to date i have almost 300 miles on it already. I always wanted to check out the wed meet ill definitely get there one week. And im running air lift struts in the rear

[beetleboy023]

thanks brother yeah im gonna have swoops do it too, i want to be on the floor though lol. gonna have him do the install too. not worth me even trying to do it myself then im gonna have my buddy do a custom sub install in the middle of all the stuff.
