Checking in! My new project!
Over a year ago i left this site and picked up a MK4 GTI 1.8t, Currently stage 2 235 hp 275 ft-lbs torque..I love Volkswagens but i do miss the reliability my civic had and the zero cels during the time i had it.
My 05 ls (sold for as much as i bought it for)
The 05 GTI

low and slow but at least you know the powers there when you need it especially going from a dead stop from an on ramp to a busy highway thats always scary in a auto civic.

Very true. I still hold Honda as the best car company with how much I ragged on that little thin and it never once complained.. I got my headers glowing one night 
but that was legit. As much as I miss the reliability I've learned to put up with the sensors and bs that Volkswagen over engineered.
