Sweet! Start saving up for your new balance shaft module now!

fing a.... seriously

Reminds me of an Allroad Quattro.

Nice, 40K miles too. Black is soooo hot in the summer though!

Definatley go for RC2, you will love the difference it will make. I hope we see that car a a local GTG soon.

 

[aja8888]

I plan to have RC2 or a Kerma upgrade in mine once I get through spending almost $3K on the BS upgrade. Then I will start saving for a new cam and lifters....(that may be the next disaster?). When does it stop?

How do you get ahold of Jeff at RC? I sent an email to info@rocketchip.com, but i understand it can be difficult to get ahold of him...

Email will work but alternatively he'll be HERE next weekend! You can get your "new-2-you" Passat tuned in person and meet a load of fellow TDI'ers. Make the trip, it's a great way to break in the new ride !

Do it! If you want a tune from RC, you really need to find him at a GTG. I don't have one yet, but I priced it, and drove one highly tuned (OMG!). Good bang for the buck the first tune, after that it requires hadware ($$) as well as firmware.

The Ho5G GTG is infamous, I wish I was close enough to attend one. Whenever I'm in need of a laugh, I just go looking at the eastern USA forum.

Woops! What was his pricing for the tune, may I ask? The highly tuned one had which tune?

Thanks,

We are starting a rotating GTG series in Delmarva/DC area.Our goal is to get enough people participating so Jeff will come.

sweet, thanks. I just dont have the time to drive up north that far. I already spanked the leave that i had earned at the new job for new years.

I keep an eye on the GTG thread for delmarva, and plan on attending tdi fest.

 

[donDavide]

He should be at Impexfest in May, but we will try to get him in the area sooner.
PS- Might I suggest getting Tinted. I will really make car look sweet and keep it cooler in the warmer months.

 

[FollowTheBlackRabbit]

yeah, i was planning on it. I had my old B5V tinted and it really helped with aesthetics and heat in the summer... especially with the black on black.

The highly tuned one was RC6 ! I have no idea how much the tune cost on that one or the cost of the mods it required. For that answer, you would need to PM indigobluewagon as it was his wickedly fast wagen (I still get a smile on my face just thinking about driving it ).

I'll send you a PM on what he quoted me for my B5.5, I understand he doesn't advertise a price list.

Update for winter-mode



ALso got my DVD/NAV unit in...yet to snap pics

 

[Lug_Nut]

What winter? Where's the snow? I still see green vegetation and it ain't coniferous.

 

[FollowTheBlackRabbit]

Haha,
well just in case it decides to go to winter. I go up to CT and NJ a bunch and THEY get a winter... well more so where i grew up in CT. Eh, creature of habit putting on steelies during the colder months
