Nice 2 cars wish I had that kind of money for Lexus and supra well to hook them up at least!
Thumbs up.

Yea my previouse car was and 86 5.0 foxy body mustang with a couple upgrades gt40 intake manifold jet chip with flowmasters and a few other simple things. Man do I miss that rumble but GTI is a lot faster/ quicker pushing 332hp with big turbo setup!

I have a close friend of mine that also does professional photography work and flim, too... Beto "Mooncricket" Lopez, he lives in the bay area, ca. my point: I thought i had posted the ones of mine that Beto had taken of, that is not of mine, sorry about that. i will take down the images

Not a problem, but I think this thread was meant for showing off modded personal cars.

[Pollux]

Good you kept the exterior thesame
too often you see a golf that has been lowered and been fitted with and oversized exhaust pipe...

you injected some steroids into that thing
over 300 HP is alot more as any stock golf

More to come!

[Gt2871r20thGTI]

Any other people out there modding there cars!

Calling all gear heads, grease monkeys, ricers!!

[Agent Arrow]

Gimme a few days. Almost done ready to post something

[AlexB428]

I have a bunch of parts that are supposed to come in sometime next week (although I've been told that three times now ). I can get some pics when I get them on. Until then...

[Agent Arrow]

So after some work, and a 120 mile test drive to check for issues, I now present to WG, my STI.


First off, here's an original indicator light and the boxes that the JDM indicators came in.


This is the front, you can see that the lights have been swapped. I kept the original front though, no body kits. I like how that looks a lot.


Here's front/side together. The car has new black plastic side skirts


The back has been de-stickered, and the tail lights have also been replaced with JDM equivalencies (Same as US, but no orange indicators, clear with orange bulbs)


not much has happened under the hood, but the cold air intake is Injen aftermarket.

In addition to that it also has some stuff that isn't so easily photographed, such as the Perrin rear swaybar and endlinks, and the new clutch and flywheel.
Unlike most ricers though, this does not have a stripped down interior with racing seats and 5-point harnesses because, let's face it, the car will never be going fast enough that the stock safety systems are inadequate and I don't feel like ruining the interior aesthetic just to save a couple pounds.

[LamboGTR]

Lovely STI.

[Gt2871r20thGTI]

Nice car agent arrow, yea I don't like that people think there car is that fast to change the stock seatbelt but the seats them self can give a more comfortable ride in the car for sure.
Luckily my car came stock with Recaro seats which are pretty nice. The 20ths and GLI's also have them for vw which is a plus.

Keep them comming fellas and gals if any present!

[Gt2871r20thGTI]
