Re: My 09 GTI

So, i've been talking back and forth with Colin about Air. Decided that I'm going to go air. Getting rid of the Fk Silverlines! Colin found a guy selling an E Level System and it so happened that he was a local so that's even better lol. So i bought the E level as well as a 5G air tank. Going to be picking it up this week! Also just talked to ORT and ordered everything else I am missing. Bagyards, Zenith OB2 air compressor and all that good stuff. Should be coming in a week or 2! here's a pic of the tank and management system. I'll have some pics up when everything come in. Also, wheels and bumper should be in soooooooon too as we're getting closer to the end of March lol. Here's a pic

Shout out for Colin for helping me and sourcing parts for this air set up!

Re: My 09 GTI

I like the huffs better. The shine on your other wheels doesn't go with the car IMO. I have the same car but
With black 19"wheels. I have my stock 17" wheels on it right now and I hate the look of it

lol i'm sure i'll start not liking the huffs again after awhile until the end of this month! but then again i don't really see my car since its parked in my garage so i can't say i hate the look of it just yet haha

Re: My 09 GTI

Re: My 09 GTI

So I took off the CCW's and put the stock wheels back on. Is it me or does it look pretty good? I was never really a fan of the stock wheels but after taking this pic it looks pretty good. That or just because I was getting bored of the CCW's and now it looks different lol

Re: My 09 GTI

I have a feeling I know what you got if you ordered with JC.
Cant believe you're giving up heated seats for uncomfortable pieces of carbon kevlar!
Are those the new ones where you can twist the knob and it tilts instead of turning it until where you want to set it? (If that even makes sense haha)

Damn! Then you prob know...although JC ordered his wheels in December and I ordered in January but Jason and him were there haha. So I don't know if you know lol you might be the few that know so far.

As far as the seats, i dont drive this car in the winter time haha so heated seats arent a big deal. To be honest, i was sitting in the new seats in my room for about 3 hours straight playing games on my phone LOL and it's super comfy!!! They are the full reclinable bucket seats. They recline better then the OEM ones. You just turn the knob and lean back to whatever you want. The OEM ones in my car you have to turn the knob constantly as it reclines slowly..such a pain haha

i was gonna get either the recaro sportster cs' or tillett seats not sure if you've seen the tillett ones. They're basically just a full CF seat no pads LOLOL. Although you can add them but that's extra. Then saw Bride Gias/Stradias and decided to go with Bride. I have a hard time when it comes down to deciding things sometimes it's stressful hahah. Here's a pic of the Tillett i was about to get (thankfully i didn't) They're the kings of making seats for mainly go karts.

Those are pretty crazy seats, really looking forward to seeing this car this season!!

Blair, honestly i am going to try to make it to one of these meets this season. i have to. lol just need to find the courage to go out haha.

Re: My 09 GTI

Brides!?! You don't own a Japanese car. Does this mean you're doing a jdm build with a massive jspoon wing
Can't wait to see it out. What's going on for rims this season?

Re: My 09 GTI

Okay guys, so as promised, here's some pics of the HID's. They came in last Friday. only took about a week to come in. Not bad. My cousin was looking at them actually and I guess he couldn't find any Philip 85122+ in 5k so he got the Morimoto's. He then asked if I wanted them. I said sure since they're pretty cheap so why not. Gives me something to do instead of waiting for other parts to come in. Takes my mind off the other parts i have coming in lol.



Here's a comparison of the new (passenger side) and the OEM (driver side)


Here's some randoms of them on my cousins car



No night time shots yet though.
