  • My 2008 GTI

    Hey everyone, I've met a few of you before but i would like to formally introduce my self. My name is Martin Ferrario, 20 and currently doing the Automotive Service Technician (AST) at SAIT. I bought my GTI about 2 years ago for the first year i didn't do anything but this recent year I decided to change it up. So here's what I've done

    First week i bought the car. The car is from Gatineau, QC


    Got her shipped down in an encolsed truck


    Lowered it on FK streetlines. Cranked them all the way down

    Started on cleaning up the bay a little. Thought it was too much red but I was too lazy to change it to black


    Picked up some Work Eurolines DH 18x10 et35 all around


    Stretched 215/35r18 front and 215/45/r18 rear so i wouldn't get excessive rubbing


    Sticker bombed the under hood. What do you think? Ended up removing it cause i wasnt quite hooked on the look


    Couple shots from the first show i went to (Dasvolks) Won best in class




    Then one day im stopped at a red light and the car in front of me decides to reverse for no reason and once it make contact with my car it kept reversing.... (Luckily her insurance covered it all) New bumper, headlights, grille, and hood


    Then the winter project began!







    Turbo installed and bay tucked time to piece everything back together



    First fire up was a success other than forgetting to hooke up the turbo oil return line. The oil leak was the length of the car


    Bay all primed ready for paint


    Just when i thought i was done, i decided to pick myself up a set of these



    Got my wheels refinished No more red (Shi**y pic)


    And now she is all ready for this season. Other than a couple things here and there

            Yeah looks better without the red on the wheels, looks like the fenders could use some pulling or something though. Did you do any engine internals?

                Woah those poke like mad when your aired out. must have some crazy mexipoke going on at your driving height. Other than that the car looks good. i also like the silver a lot more than the red.

                  Met you for a minute at the moxies meet but didn't really get a chance to talk. The GTI is looking pretty badass! I hope you didn't lose too many bumper pieces parking lol - that parking lot has a hell of an incline. Pretty sure got a pic of your ride in the monthly meet thread from May. Cheers!
