                  Things like Euro plates are a personal preference so lets keep the debate on those to a minimum please.

                          So ive run into a few small problems over the last few weeks with the GTI, with idleing stalling out and such. These problems have been fixed with small tweaks and installing a new distributor cap made that idle solid again. So i ordered a few small things from ECStuning.com Valve cover gasket, distributor cap and bonnet struts. Got the struts and cap in and gonna do the gasket this week or weekend. Today me and Evan (hooddub) decided to get a rid of my canadian tire special muffler and work our magic to create a custom pipe with the resources and material we could get our hands on. So started off underneath grinding that muffler off


                          And this is whats gonna be making this puppy purr.


                          So we got the crappy tire muffler off and the new pipe equipped with some greasy installation the new exhaust is complete. Unfortunately as we finished this storm were experiencing right now started to pour down so i couldnt take a picture of the finished product but im sure you can imagine what it will look like. Will get pictures tomorrow

                          Bonnet Struts, best 20$ ive ever spent



                          Picture with the rear on the ramps looks nice and low



                          For now thats all and much more to come

                              I feel like only the younger members like europlates, especially ones like this, or yours and my old one.

                                Nah. I'm probably younger than you. But yes as others have stated, they are personal preference I suppose.
