HereticByDefault's Build/Photo Thread

I feel like I've come along far enough to show my progress over the last year and a half or so. Some of the pictures were taken earlier today to show some things I wasn't able to get good pictures of when I first got them.

Fixed! Rest of the pics below

Got the VB3s on, and bought some smoked sidemarkers. The ambers were disgusting.

Spent a bunch of money on some nice piping

Bought an EvoMS intake (stolen picture)
Name:  21 EvoMS intake.jpg
Views: 6108
Size:  148.3 KB
Bought some R32 style tails done by Darcness, and had them sent to him to get some amber turn signals wired up
Also has the four-circle mod, but I haven't wired them for that yet

Tried to do a DV relocate with the BSH kit, but it ended up not working too well so I just decided to get rid of the whole setup. Put the carbonio back in for a bit
Name:  22 Carbonio back in.JPG

Got some custom jet-black mirror signals from another member on here
Name:  black mirror signals.JPG
Views: 5683

Bought a nice Eurosport intake with an ITG filter!
Name:  24 Eurosport Intake.JPG
Views: 5914
Size:  81.7 KB

Removed the Prosport gauges and OSIR podcause the boost gauge stopped working properly

Picked up some R-Line fog grills
Name:  25 R-Line Fogs.JPG
Views: 5680
Size:  80.9 KB
35% Window tint all around

For one reason or another, I decided to get rid of the Eurosport intake and buy a BSH intake to replace it. I do like the way it sounds more though. Don't have a picture of the BSH at the moment, but I'm sure most of you know what it looks like lol
Found an RCD-510 on craigslist and picked that up real quick

I finally got around to installing the Newsouth boost gauge with the OSIR mono vent pod I had laying around for a while
Name:  OSIR gauge pod newsouth boost.JPG
Views: 6451

Bought a Jetta bottom center grille to match the R-Line fog grills!
Name:  jetta and rline grills.JPG
Views: 5919
Size:  99.5 KB
Picked up some yellow foglight bulbs and had my Koni coilovers installed
Name:  how car sits.JPG

Now I just need to get some tires for my freshly painted VB3s, and I'm waiting on some black mirror caps to make their way to my door. Not sure what I've got planned after that, but I will update accordingly!

Lol I really shouldn't have used newspaper. I was all sorts of unprepared when I decided to do it.

I just drove through Niles and Des Plaines about 3 hours ago lol. I don't drive through there too often though. Mostly in Wilmette and Skokie

Most of the gains you get from the carbonio are from the filter, not the intake. I could've ran the stock POS plastic thing with the carbonio filter and it would've been almost the same thing. I also wanted the sound from the FOS intake

Two of them had leaks. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the cold...I'm gonna put them on before I actually go get new tires to see if they'll hold air now
