EmptyPockets

Hey, I'm new to this forum but I've been snooping around for awhile. My brother is getting an s2k in a couple of months so I thought it was time for me to join this forum.

I drive a 2004 VW GTI (silverstone, just like the s2k color)......Let me clear some things up first.
1. I do not think that my car chipped is the fastest thing on the road
2. I know my car is not reliabe
3. Yes, I still like it a lot

This is what it looks like know (with some photochopping but it will eventually look somewhat the same).......



Any comments are welcome, and great forum


Side note: We don't have any of these cool smilies on vwvortex.....

Cool. Welcome

Welcome. I'm 2 time vw owner too, previous gen vr6 and current gen 1.8t. Your brother is making a wise choice. Once you get used to the limited interior space and the high revving engine, you would find it hard to move back to any vw/audi sports/sporty cars. Enjoy!

i have a VR6 Jetta and i test drove a 99 GTI. That thing was TORQUEY!! i felt like i could go pull a stump or 2.

liking the car but two things 1) will you be getting the new hood without the vw insert and 2) will yours also have the euro strip on front bumper w/o the lights

1. Well, you don't have to get an entirely new hood. They make an insert that goes in place of the notch and a badgless grill....

2. I'll eventually get a eurobumper so that I would be able to not have sidemarkers but until then i'm going to colormatch my current sidemarkers.

Thanks for the comments

I have test-driven a few VWs, the most recent of which was a 2003 Jetta 1.8T. It had HUGE turbo lag, but when it kicked in, it MOVED!

I like GTIs and Jettas a lot.

EmptyPockets

Turbo lag is somewhat of a problem but not anymore then on other turbo cars (well, not by much)... Once you chip the car and/or get a bigger downpipe your all set.

O, and thanks. I like s2000's a lot to
