scurvy and joevat,
i don't know what you 2 are blabbering about, if you can not appreciate someones hard work there is no need to post "trash talk".
Remember that you are not the only one reading these forums.
scurvy obviously has absolutely no clue what "rice" or "bling" is..and god has nothing to do with it. The car in reference used ALL OEM styling parts...
what did you do to your car?
""""""""joevat look at you own car first before hallucinating ,plastic chrome door handles , loco racing wheels and a badgeless kamei with the hood notch left untouched..should i say more or still think you can compare yours to the car in the feature?"""'''
edit: if i cut all that out, my aggravation wont make much sense and people that come late in the topic wont make anything out of it , but at least Joe took my constructive critique for what it is instead of flaming me back..Props to you bro , i had a bad day. /end edit
For some people modifying a VW is called passion,dedication,artistic vision and a very specific taste that allot of people here I'm sorry to say will never have or understand.
You don't like his stickers..well the word "sponsors" is mentioned probably 15 times in the article, it's part of the game you play if you cant afford to pay. Stickers are crucial same as for the Rally Car ..and still they are strategically placed to have at least some more uniform look and not be too drastic.
The only reply that shows common sense and reason ability below..

No B.S. flag would be justified IMHO.
While there might be a little exaggeration, it does not put the claims on par with someone claiming a new world record TDI power achievement with no hard evidence to back such a claim up.
No vendor's hard work and proven real world results are being insulted.
If the numbers are exaggerated a little, it may be for unintentional reasons such as the owner used an unscrupulous or incompetent dyno shop that reported slightly skewed numbers. There is no indication that he owns the dyno the numbers are claimed to have been generated on or that he is selling tuning services and seeking to deceive others to fleece them for profit.
It appears to me to be someone who worked very hard customizing their car and they are proud of the investment of time and money as they should be.
about the power...there are no claims ..only estimates by the owner..nothing wrong with that..
I have a dyno from New England Dyno day documented doing 128h.p/239tr. with nothing but a ghl downpipe/cat delete +side exit@2.5inch diameter and software ..and we all know the old "crazy torque axle breaker" softwares that existed back in the day.
anyway
/end rant
enjoy your day gentlemen
