TRUCK STUFF! (actually its just a passat)

Nice ride! I recently picked up a 2006 Audi A3 with the FSI 2.0t and love it. For tuning I would highly recommend Malone Tuning. I know the one dealer in MN and he is a great guy to help you out. Mine is a DSG 6 speed Auto so we tuned that as well but the engine tune was a unbelievable difference. If you would like his number just look it up on www.malonetuning.com and search for dealers or PM e and I can give you his info. If you need a replacement turbo I do have one with around only 1,000 miles on it and looks new still but i doubt you will.

I'm so happy just piddling around in this car, its really comfortable, simple to drive, quiet, and just enough fun. I had it loaded up with firewood last weekend for darkness day@surly, forgot to take a pic, but have been using it several times per week for work:

Found this in the back seat last week! Score! Actually I returned it to the previous owner as it was one of his kids', they were *so* psyched to get it back! lol.

Got in on the tint day yesterday, here's a few more pics than I posted in that thread. Tint Pros out of Fridley did 20% all the way round with a nice visor. Real nice guys, top notch quality, great price! I'm so happy with it!

Truck stuff.

[polishmafia]

The truck looks great with the tint! I was pretty surprised by how clean the whole car was. Great purchase!

Scheides - Can you tell me what those door inserts for the keyhole are called? I've searched but I can't find what you were talking about.

Looks like and awesome set of winter tires for the cheep! Springs?, you should get a hitch on that pig.... http://www.etrailer.com/hitch-2008_Volkswagen_Passat.htm

Do the H&R springs raise or lower the car? Haha, can't decide since most people lift their trucks. What are the spring rates compared to stock?

Yes sir! On my list! :D

HAHAHAHHAA! Passat GRAVE DIGGER!!!

Actually they are just a subtle drop; 1.25" f/r and they are progressive. Not sure on springrates, they are just basic OTS kraut springs.
