First post, thought it should be an introduction. I live in Minnesota, but go to school in the area. I haven’t had my car out here yet, but just made the drive (1206mi) over the weekend. I’ll be around until July. Here’s what you can keep an eye out for. Black 2001 VW GTI 1.8T - K03s turbo - Custom Stage II GIAC file - 3" Turbo-back (no cat) - Custom FMIC - Forge 007 diverter valve - Neuspeed Turbo Inlet Pipe - Boostvalve Manual Boost Controller - 4.7V 1W Zener Diode - K&N intake - 4bar fuel pressure regulator - 28mm Neuspeed rear sway bar - 3" Topspin harnesses - 26mm H&R front sway bar - FK silverline coilovers - HIDs I’m sure I’m forgetting things, and there’s lots of other exterior stuff that I won’t bother listing. Here’s a picture from last summer. It’s a little different now. I’ve still got the stock bumper and wheels on from the winter. ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2264/2346981906_f6e5616bc2_o.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2264/2346981906_f6e5616bc2_o.jpg) You can keep an eye out for this: ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2201/2373325657_942315f0a1.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2201/2373325657_942315f0a1.jpg) ---

Here’s my old interior. I’ll snap a pic later today of the new, more minimalist setup. Belts are no longer mounted like that, no more false floor, no more subs/amp. Engine’s not much to look at, but I’ll see what I can find. ![http://photos-c.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v47/120/68/14002867/n14002867_30262586_7770.jpg](http://photos-c.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v47/120/68/14002867/n14002867_30262586_7770.jpg) ---

My ‘old’ look: ![http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v35/120/68/14002867/n14002867_30165561_88.jpg](http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v35/120/68/14002867/n14002867_30165561_88.jpg) I’ll try to find a better picture of the summer wheels. They’re Falken Hanabis. One of the lightest 18’s available. ---
