With the weather finally starting to get nicer up here in Northeast Wisconsin, I figure a GTG/Cruise in June would be great weather wise.

Just like last years GTG I'll need some help to make the GTG a success, so if some people are willing to help setup and do some grilling, that would be great. If people wouldn't mind bringing food or beverages to the GTG to share would be very helpful.

If there is enough people interested we could do a cruise around Door County before or after the GTG. Let me know what you think.

UPDATE: JFettig will be attending the GTG and will be able to load Malone Tunes on your car. Both Engine and DSG tunes will be available.:cool:

DATE CHANGE:The GTG/Cruise will start at 9 AM on the 20th of June.

The location is 203 Keel Ct. in Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235

Our shop is 60x90 and we have a 2 post lift.

I'd prefer that mostly minor work is done at the GTG, unless I approve it. We don't need any extra vehicles left over, otherwise we'll just haul them over to the scrap yard across the street. jk lol

Look forward to seeing everyone:D

P.S. Feel free to invite other VW enthusiasts, even if they haven't seen the ways of the TDI.:D I figure the more the merrier.

I'll talk to the wife :)
If she approves, I'll talk to Malone to see if he will tune that day if anyone is interested.

Suscribed.
Thinking about it. Little too far out to know for sure, at this point.
Would like to be able to make this (missed the last one), a little too far out to commit at this point. Will depend on how my other automotive project is proceeding and family obligations, etc.

Hopefully you guys can make it and it would be great if you could tune a few cars Jon.

The 13th may be do able for me this year. Even though I have nothing really to do on the car at present, it would be a great excuse to get it all cleaned, shined and detailed for a trip. My inlaws live in Sister Bay, so I could visit them after a look at the event. Yeah and it is on a Saturday. Sunday in our parts is graduation....(I would have to work)

Date Change to June 20th, 2015

I realized that there is a car show/gtg in Milwaukee that I would like to attend that is also on the 13th, so I'm going to push back my GTG back one week to June 20th.

Hope this isn't an inconvenience for anyone that has already made plans for the 13th.

A link to Scootersgtg that's on the 13th for anyone that is in the Milwaukee area that may want to attend. https://www.facebook.com/events/766467416805789/

probably would be interested in coming, a little far out yet to make a firm committment, but this sounds fun. Anyone doing any tuning at the event? Ive been looking into the stuff that can be done to get a bit more hp and torque out of my '12 TDI passat. seen one option online but that costs like well over 600-800 bucks...

I'm contemplating a tune from Jon at the GTG, but with 275k on the turbo and who knows how many on the clutch, not sure if its the best idea....Clutch can be replaced easy enough, turbo, well that's a bigger deal mechanically and $$.

If I had to choose, I'd choose replacing the turbo over the clutch any day!

Didn't we do a little logging last time? if not have you done any?

So I was thinking that maybe I should bring some 1/4 pub burgers if that is OK. Do we have a pre count of how many people are going to be there (I know it's early but I would like to know so I know how many to order) you have to pre order them they always have some but not as many as I would need. Let me know

It might be a little early for a head count, but if I had to guesstimate right now...I would say 20 people +/-5 people at the moment.

For those coming to my GTG...here is my for sale thread on the items I have.
http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?p=4797654#post4797654
I did forget to include a TDI battery that was removed when I relocated 2 Lithium-Ion batteries to the trunk. The battery is 2 years old and in great condition. I'm asking $75 for it. It was purchased from Car-Quest and I can get you the receipt, so if you run into issues you can take it to any Car-Quest and hopefully get it warrantied.

So let me know if you're interested in anything and I can hold it for you. If you're interested in the seats I'm going to ask for a $100 non-refundable deposit, just to cover my ass and make sure that whoever is interested in them will follow through and I don't miss an opportunity to sell the seats and then have the original person back out. Hope the potential buyer understands where I'm coming from.;)

If those seats were heated....
You could always add the heating elements.;)

Here is a guide I found. http://vwgolfr32.co.uk/fitting-guides/heated-seat-element-guide.htm

The harness needed.http://www.kufatec.co.uk/shop/en/retrofits/seat-accessories/seat-heating-harness-vw-audi-seat-skoda

I haven't found the heating elements, but I've only been searching for 10 minutes, so I'm sure they're out there somewhere...:eek:

I'm sure you can find some used heated seat switches cheap.

Then you'd be all set.:D
