Well the VW Bug bit me

[l3lackstatic]

and It bit me hard. So we bought a GTI back in Feb and my wife mainly drives it because I like her to have the nicer car and I drove a 2002 civic. But then I got to thinking that I needed to spice up my daily commute. So I sold the civic and picked up one of these. Needless to say my commute is to work is exciting again. :thumbsup:

awesome! what a great car. i'm sure you already love the sound

I cant get over the engine note, this thing is bone stock and it sounds sweet. Especially when I get it over 3.5k in the rpm the flapper opens and this thing sounds beastly

Do the flapper mod; you'll be amazed by the difference!

Or better yet; switch it! http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?1446352

Thanks for the link, ill look into doing that doesn't seem to be to complicated.

You can also just "pull" the flapper hose to disable it and sound that sweet all the time; but the switch is far more versatile (on/off loudness whenever you want)

Nice, mind if we inquire as to how much that set you back?

I found it at a carmax for 18,000 with warranty , i sold my civic PP for 5,200 so it was 12800 + tax & Fees/ low mileage only 40k as well

Cool, nice find. I love the look of the old R32s

the MK4 is known far and wide as the best R32 they ever had. My friend of 15 years has a supercharged one with almost 500hp.. scary as hell. i wont even go for rides in it.

Stock I would say my wifes GTI is quicker, I dont really have a big mod list for this thing, I kind of want to just keep it simple
