Hello. I've been comming to these forums for sometime now (can't remember old username) and was wondering what it takes to become an actual *member*?
Where can I get a eurodrivers sticker for my GTI?
I am interested in taking my driving skills to the next level. I am very interested in learning advanced driving skills, not only for street use, but for track also. I'm just about 19, have been driving for a couple years. Both cars have been GTI's. No accidents (I just read that kid with the M5 post and shook my head) I also feel like some of you may feel my question is somehow due to, or related to that story, but it isn't (My dad only has a 535i anways).
I hope in the next year or so I can have my GTI to a point where I can take it to shows, do some actual track and maybe try drag race. I've been doing quite a bit of reading and research into bigger turbos, specifically the APR Stage 3+ I know it's a lot of power but I absolutley have a passion for vdubya's and would love to be able to safely harness the power of a bigger turbo (maybe start off smaller and build my way up?). No I do not street race (sure the occasional rip, who doesn't?) and I feel like I am a pretty good (defensive) driver, but I would love to aquire a higher skill level. I know there is a wealth of information on here and a lovely community with honest, friendly people. Can anyone help me with where to start?
Oh one more question because although I think I know, there may be something I am missing.
For someone to upgrade their turbo what extra's are needed/recommended? ie Brakes, Suspension, intercooler, internal engine parts etc etc.
Feel free to move this thread wherever it would fit best. Sorry for the life story/long read, but I feel it is necessary for what I am asking - as well as giving some information about who I am.
Thank you so much in advance.
Paul.
