Josh's GTI (pic heavy)

joshb · 02-19-2012, 08:25 PM

Well, I haven't been on here in forever, but I figured I would reconnect, and show some of the progress with my new car.
Old: 08 Copper Red Sedan, I model.

Unfortunately, I rear ended someone the day after I moved to Gainesville, and did almost 9k worth of damage.

It got repaired, but as many of you know, it's just never the same after that bad of a wreck. So a few weeks later, on a trip back home, My parents surprised me with telling me we were going to trade it in. Went to stock back as much as I could in one day, which meant all I got off was my wheels. Suspension couldn't be swapped out because I lost the bolts for the top hats.
Anyway, luckily the VW dealership in town had an 07 Tornado Red GTI w/DSG on the lot, for a great price. I have always been a VW nut at heart, since my best friend got his 07 Jetta. So of course, I had to get it. It was love at test drive. More power, better handling, and of course the amazing DSG shifts.

Europlate says Lumberjck. Anyone who has met me or is friend with me on facebook will understand lol.

I told myself I wasn't going to mod much, but of course, that didn't last long. Within 2 weeks, I had purchased a friends coilovers, and had them on. A resonator delete and an intake later, here we are. The community that follows these cars is insane. Weekly meets of 15+ cars, and constant recognition on the streets.

Current mods:
FK Highsport Coilovers
Resonator Delete
EvoMs intake
Hella Euro tails (Non-LED) With amber turns and Rear Fog

The plan for the next couple of months are fitment.
Picked up a set of Mercedes AMG monoblocks for cheap, 18x8.5 +25 and 9.5 +23

Getting them PC'd white and putting 215/35/18's all around, along with a frame notch before May 18th, for Southern Worthersee.

joshb · 02-21-2012, 10:02 AM

Thanks everybody. I'm hoping to get these wheels done in the next month or so, since I have 3 shows coming up in the next few months.

GrifN · 03-20-2012, 07:54 AM

Well, it's been a month. Let's see these wheels!
