introduction on myself (pic heavy)

i have been on vortex forever, but my car isn't exactly up to the vortex standard, haha, but i figured i would introduce myself on here. My name is Rob i've had many many volkswagens over my 7 yrs of driving if i had to guess id say ive had about 13 or so? maybe. hoping i don't get bored with this one and can keep it for a while. I bought my shadow blue gti in January of last year and since then i've made it my own and still have plans for this car yet.

Things i have done so far:
-forge twintake
-forge catchcan
-diesel geek short shift
-eurojet 3" tbe
-osir front lip
-new south vent gauge pod
-apr stage 2
-smoked side markers
-raderwerks aug310 wheels (probably wont run as much once i get my new wheels!)
-B&G rs2 coilovers
-false wood floor in hatch
-did some tweaking in vag com
-35% tint all around
-gominigo front plate mount
-oem splashguards (no longer)
-ziza platinum white low beams
-fog light bulb upgrade
-interior led upgrade
-led plate lights
-euro switch
-houndstooth mirror
-CCW LM20

Things to do yet
-led tails
-ko4 or more likely0 gt28or30
-apr intercooler
-engine mounts (bsh most likely)
-replace pancake pipe
-Dieselgeek skidplate
-badgeless grille
-underseat storage
-dash chubby


most likely waaaaay more things i would like to do but i think thats a pretty good list. anyway now on to the pictures, i know its not show worthy or anything and im not a photographer in the slightest.

Nice! I hate vortex. Its not vortex approved because you're actually doing performance mods to a performance car. All VW vortex kids care about is how low they are.. Welcome!

How about a few pics of whats poking out from behind ya in the Before H&R shot

Haha well its a 71 torino cobra (set up for the strip, 429 cobra jet with other goodies). Its my uncles, along with the 66 bronco poking from behind my hatch. my family has about a dozen old fords and stuff. Im the odd man out with my vw's other than my 66 rambler but that doesn't really count. Haha

Deffinitelly a nice car! And nice choice of CF parts !

Diggin' the ride. I love shadow blue.

Welcome

Nice ride, great color choice too :thumbsup:

Thanks guys. Got my coils on tonight, b&g's are a little involved for me. Got them on but no idea how to "fine tune" them. Ride a hell of a lot better than my blown struts on super sports. Haha if anyone knows a link that would help me with understanding these coils id greatly appreciate it!

I miss my SB...B&G are very nice

for your IC set up...i would advise apr over forge

Apr is what I was leaning towards and I love my shadow blue, cant wait till wheels arrive, should set the car off nicely

Looking good. Let's seem some pic's with the B&Gs installed

Not a chance to get a pic today. Worked 9hrs then vday dinner and started snowing. When it clears up i'll post some pics with coils.
