I hate the way they look. Just not my style. I'll get a VW GTI when the time is right. Used of course. Never driven a car that was more fun. Just feels like a gokart, the 6 speed manual is a blast but the paddle shift auto is even sweeter, kick ass mileage too, love the look, the comfort and the amount of space. Surprisingly roomy front and back for such a little car.

 

Wow, I apparently should get a job selling these things..

 

and a haircut

 

Besides the hair cut, some sort of drug habit like most car salesman have

 

My hair is cut.

 

well that's one down...

but seriously, a GTi?
WTF? did you watch 'The Fast and The Furious" one too many times?
and of course it feels like a go cart! a yugo is going to feel like a go cart coming from a truck you boner.

I've always liked the GTI's. Hell part of the reason I'm fond of them I'd because they don't make the driver look like a colossal fast and furious wanna be. The interior isn't made from huge chunks of plastic like most of the domestic/scions in it's class. 32mpg highway is awesome, and it Congress with a turbo.

 

That and I'm tired of having a VW tattoo but no running VW.

 

I feel the same way about my unicorn tat...still searching for one

 

Do they offer the tdi in that model? Wouldn't be a fast, but I hear great things about vw diesel...and they get great mileage

 

And, my coils are swapped. No more bad lean. Still a lean in the back though. The shim doesn't fit well enough since it will eat up the whole center pin so it won't be able to sit in the axle.

 

Happy hunting.

No, I wish. Just a 2.0T

Good work. Any idea how to fix the back?

 

Will have to find a block with a notch to stick into the axle

 

Ah I gotcha

 

OME is done. Total Chaos UCA's, OME 885 coils w/ top plate spacers and trim packer on driver side, Dakar leafs, OME Nitro shocks all the way around, ext. braided brake lines, carrier bearing drop, sway bar relocate, 265/75/16 Cooper ST Maxx tires, Century Cap w/ Thule roof rack, and fitted Bedrug.

Only things left on the "to do" list is: Toyota roof rack, Bud Built front skid plate, Tacoma Super Sliders from Rocky Road Outfitters, and TBD 16X8 wheels (eventually). And yes, my pics are always sideways!

 

Nice! Congrats on the lift man. TBD wheels? If that is to be determined, I would look into the SCS 5's. I like those a lot, but I like the stealth 6's better. I need to get a roof rack myself.

 

Here ya go Brady. Fun game!

 

Thanks Brady, yes, to be determined. I initially liked the Dick Cepek GM7's, but now I can't decide so I'm just putting it off for a while.

 

Anyone interested in buying a complete 2012 Tacoma Off-Road suspension? Blinstien shocks, coils, leafs w/ u-bolts, and brake lines? only 20K miles on it, if not then what would be a reasonable amount to ask on craigslist?
