whats up PGH? I heard of this site from a fellow dubber on [Club18T.com](http://Club18T.com). since we were the only 2 of 3 people on the site from Pittsburgh, I thought I’d give it a shot and meet some local enthusiasts 😃 I drive an indigo blue 2001.5 VW GOLF 1.8T (150hp/155tq stock)… its the one with the 4doors… its very low-key, often gets confused for a 2.slow. thats just the way i like it… im not a very big fan ricers, i should hope most feel the same way. Mods to date: -AEM CAI -Samco TIP -TurboXS RBV-H25 -N75J Valve -H&R Sport Springs (To Be Installed) -Bilstein Sport Shocks + Struts (TBI) -Eibach Front + Rear Sway Bars (22/25) (TBI) -Yokohama AVS dB S2 Tires Exterior… well pretty much stock everything except side indicators, wheels too (15’s)… and dont really have any intentions of changing it. i like blending in and not attracting attention from “street racers” with fart cannons at every stoplight. APR 93/100oct Chip, GHL 2.5" TB, and Greddy t31 FMIC are in the works… probably wont happen till mid summer though, when i get FT hours back at work… my goal is to have it around the 205whp/240tq mark by the end of august. Well thats my car… me? eh im not that special… just your average run of the mill good guy lookin to join in on the fun. Greetings Pittspeed! 😃 ---
