Utah has been really quiet for a while. Let's see who is out there and maybe we can have a little GTG or something.
I'll introduce myself. My name is Eric. I drive a 99.5 Jetta TDI with a few quite a few simple mods. I'm in Salt Lake City near the UofU.

Go Utah!

I'm Casey. Driving a 2000 Galactic Blue Jetta with 240K on the odo. I live in Clearfield. It looks like we could be neighbors Jacob. I haven't noticed you, and I've got the emblems off my car, so you probably haven't noticed me.

I'm currently a mechanical engineering student at the U, which usually negates what free time I would otherwise have. The Jetta is currently on stands while I look for a new transmission. Something let loose in the gearbox and popped a hole in the bell housing. Not pretty. Should have it back on the road in a week or two. Being a college student has killed the modification fund, so I'm running pretty stock right now. Big plans though. Someday, someday...

Definitely up for a GTG though. I have a timing belt on the to do list that would be great to get done then.

I'm Abram I've got a '02 white Jetta Wagon. About 180K and autotragic (still shifts OK). Planning on doing a 5 speed swap at some point in the future. Only mods are swapped in power seats (originals were hashed when I bought it), and put Bilstein TC Sports on front. I'm in Provo and would be up to a GTG sometime. I also have VCDS if anyone needs a scan.

I believe we are! im actually residing in West Point. :) also i spend most of my time in salt lake for work... looks like you do too for school, anyway i have regretted not pointing my exhaust down after removing the muffler.... so if you see a white golf with soot all over the hatch, its me! hahaha :p

Also lets have a gtg! :D

Yeah, I actually grew up in Clinton. I spent most of my time hanging with friends that all seemed to live in West Point. That neighborhood between 300 and 800 N, just west of 2000.

I have seriously been thinking of a mufflerectomy, so I definitely want to hear how your car sounds. I doubt it will be the same though with my stocker compared to your VNT-17 with a tune. I may just have to get those upgrades as well... :rolleyes:

I've got the stock turbo with a mufflerectomy. So if we all have a gtg you can see how it sounds. Jake is the one that talked me into doing it. I liked the way his sounded. My tip is pointing down though. :D

Welcome to Utah

Hi Guys,
I'm coming down from the SF Bay Area to Salt Lake City this fall to attend the U of U for grad school. I have a 96 Passat B4 TDI and I've been active in the Bay Area TDI functions. I'm so glad that there's some TDI love in the SLC. I hope to stay in contact with you guys and hopefully we can get a GTG in the fall.
Are any of you going to TDI Fest 2010 in Portland this year http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=265065? It's the first time that TDI Fest is on the West Coast. I'd totally be down to doing a caravan ride up to the Pacific Northwest for the fest.

hey guys. I live down in cedar city, utah. Just traded in my 02 jetta tdi wagen with 160k on it for a 2010 jetta sportwagen tdi
Wow, zero fuel-ups on your fuelly.com, you really did JUST trade in you '02. Congrats on the 2010 though! You're making me pretty jealous.

So everyone is saying let's do a GTG, let's put it into action. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good date that most people would be able to attend? How about locations? I know one of my Weber State automotive department professors is currently working on an "alternative fuel" vehicle that I'm pretty sure was inspired by my bragging about the TDI. So I think he would have at least a moderate interest in a TDI GTG. Anyway, I may have to go visit him and see if he would open the shop at WSU for a Saturday. I can foresee insurance and liability issues, but they may have something in place for that. But shout out some places that you think might work.

I'm not available for a GTG until after May 16th. I'll be on a roadtrip.

Being a college student and from St George I don't have any hookups in Salt Lake. Not much to offer from me. I love the idea of having a GTG up at Weber. If it was to work out that would be awesome. If we can't do and actual wrenching GTG then I'm down with just meeting at a park or going for a cruise.

I've got a shop in Pleasant Grove, maybe we could gather there and tinker if needed then head up Provo canyon, hit one of the little ma/pa burger joints and disperse from there maybe?

If Charlie would be willing to join us and maybe do a tune or two I may be game to get one at that point.
