Hey folks. Just completed a coast-to-coast move from Miami Beach, 8 months in Albuquerque, NM, and now posted up in sunny San diego CA. One of the greatest towns on earth. Just wanted to say hello to the West Coast dubbers, and check on where the best tuning shops and VW dealerships...

Well, due to the fact that I've relocated from sunny South Florida to Sunny, 4 season New Mexico, I'm gonna need to reup my MKV GTI w/ the best Ultra HIgh performance All season tire I can find. Any recommendations? The Goodyear Eagle F1 AS looks pretty solid, but I'm wondering if you folks had...

Just wondering if there is anyone on here from the Albuquerque area. Moving to start a new gig mid-August, wanted some info on the dealership there, any local, trusted tuning shops, and to maybe meet up with some of you guys...if indeed, you exist. :biggrin: Any help appreciated, plus of course...

Well, thanks to a bit of a lucky break, I'm accepting an offer to join a new company in Albuquerque, NM. In a nutshell, I gotta drive my ass 2000 miles out from Miami in about three weeks from Friday.. Is there anything that I should do for preventative maintenance before heading out? Not doing...

:thumbup: I had the pleasure of having some service work done on my GTI here in Orlando today. Royal VW's entire service department rocked. From Christine, the Service advisor, to the Mike, the shop manager, to the guys who worked on my ride, Michael & Albert, and their VERY clean service bays...

Please respond if you have actually experienced DV failure on your MKV!! Here's a question....IF one's stock DV valve fails, does the car throw a CEL or MFD warning, or some other indicator? I feel (purely from butt dyno) that my car isn't responding as well as it did when it was first chipped...

Starting to see a few threads re: Diverter valve/boost pressure issues, in a couple of chipped (APR, EIP, &GIAC tuned vehicles to date) vehicles over on the Vortex, e.g.: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2717728 and http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2747107 and even...

Had to take advantage of a deal being offered through a relatively new APR distributor/German car tuner in the Miami area, German Motoring. Basically they were able to offer the Waterfest deal this past Saturday, so I bit the bullet. For $704 out the door, I got APR 93 Stage 1 + Stock +...

Yesterday afternoon, after getting home from the office, I notced that my alarm no longer audibly beeped when I hit the door lock button. I went in, made sure I didn't change the ATA function...no changes. Hit the button again; nothing. Tried hitting the panic button to see if the alarm was...

..at least through the rain/hurricane season. Almost lost the car a little while ago, thanks to shyte Miami drainage systems and one hell of a thunderstorm today...literally had to ride through about 7 inches of water in the midst of downtown on the way home from work, thanks to flooding, and...

http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060501/FREE/60419006/1012 read, and debate. oh, btw...GTI with 6 speed manual...17 inch stockers...0-60 6.33 secs/14.7 quarter mile. otherwise, it's a marginal win for the SI, but it seems to come down to what the driver wants out of their...

Just brought home a Reflex Silver Pkg 1, 17's. 6spd. Stock ride height for now, and will stay that way till hurricane season is over for 2006. These quick pics were taken near my condo in Miami Beach. I traded in a wonderful SE-R Spec-V for it, which I will miss tremendously. Regardless, so...
