I have a couple of items I have replaced on my MK5 GTI. Thought I would see if anyone here is interested. 1) Stock Taillights (complete set) - $100 2) 6 disk CD/MP3 in dash stereo - $200 3) XM module (no trades) - $100

I could not find any info on this subject. Any advice would be appreciated. I plan on installing a new Alpine head unit soon. I was wondering if I can use the factory XM tuner and just buy this adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Terk-Satellite-Direct-Digital-Adapter/dp/B00030AT62 Or do I also...

I noticed a little blerb in this months European Car Mag about VW and SEMA this year... I am looking forward to seeing the turbo kit they have in the works for the 2.5. Here is the quote: Coming off a stunning debut at SEMA last year, Volkswagen is poised to make another big splash at SEMA...

I just finished up hard wiring the passport x50 radar detector with hard wire smart control feature. It is very simple to do. I was originally planning on tapping into the power in the overhead console, but due to the smart control cable I purchased that did not make sense anymore. I ended up...

Looks like Seat pulled 240 hp out of the 2.0 TFSI engine for this one. http://www.worldcarfans.com/news.cfm/country/gcf/newsID/2060718.012/seat/new-seat-leon-cupra-unveiled

So I had a dispute with the VW dealer after I brought my 06 GTI in for 5k service oil change. I discussed doing the synthetic oil. After I got home I was looking closer at the invoice and see that they charged me for a regular oil change and not a synthetic oil change.:eek: I called back and...

I came across these today. I had not seen them before. IMO they are the best looking LED tails currently out there. I am not interested as I just installed the R32 taillights and will be happy with those until VW sells smoked R32 LEDs.:wink:

Installed some in.pro smoked mirror blinkers today. Thought I would share. I also installed the r32 taillight inner only. I think it shows the contrast between the two well. No, I am not planning on keeping them like this. A bit of a mix up with my order left me with outer tails for the...

This interior is cool... why cant we get some damn options in NA when it comes to the interior!

The Ultima GTR just set a world record for 1-100 MPH then back to 0 in only 9.2 seconds. This is supposedly a fully legal streetcar (at least in the UK). Check out the video... 0-100mph-0 comparison times Ultima GTR 9.4secs Ferrari Enzo 10.9secs McLaren F1 LM 11.5secs Porsche...

Check this report out. Doing 147 MPH in a rented Hyundai... and I doubt it had z rated tires. http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/index.php?sty=66898
