I haven't been able to fix the issue with my A/C, so I need to take it in. I really don't trust some run down mechanic shop, and performance shops won't deal with it (not performance related, pfft). I want to resort to the dealer, but am extremely nervous about them seeing my car since I'm BT. I don...

I love the Volkswagen GTI. You can even get a MK5 or possibly a MK6 in the same budget range as those other vehicles. I'm coming from the Euro scene, though, so I am partial to it! I love(d) my MK4 GTI 1.8T

a fellow engineer with the same car/color and almost same setup I'm going with. I'm debating whether to go with the 3071 or 3076. If you do take it to the track what is going to be your tire setup?

Now I'm stuck here in Fort Carson while they medically retire m...

Ooops, my bad! Let me catch up with the times here...

Luckily I live in Arvada. 2nd safest city in CO and like 63rd in the country. We also just had a handful of Arvada cops resign/fired for using excessive force which was said to be part of the "culture" in the Arvada PD...guess you can't have one without the other. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/ne...

Will be doing a GT3076R build here tomorrow and will be fully tuned on AP on the 31st. Look forward to possibly attending some of the meets. Hope to bring something to the t...
