Ready to race!
Whats up y'all! Thought I'd make a thread about my car as I begin to start modifying it! First some background on Grace!
Here she is:
(with winter wheels on)
I bought my 2011 Gti back in October 2014. I got the car from my cousin with only 38k miles and with a DSG transmission. The car was stock except for 30% tint all around, an auto starter, and clear bumper bra. It also came with a set of 16" wheels wrapped in winter tires as a backup for the stock Detroits.
I never knew much about cars but they've always interested me. My cousin drove a Stage 2 Mk5 Gti and thats what got me into VWs. I knew I wanted to modify it like his, but my parents stood in the way. For a while they said that I didn't need to touch my car because its perfectly fine the way it is. So I spent the next year learning, reading this forum, watching tons of videos, and constantly pestering them to let me. Finally, late last year I went to my first car meet and when I came back I talked my mom's ear off about it and she finally said, "It's normal for boys to want to do stuff to their cars", so thats when it begun. The deal was that I couldn't touch my savings and have to save up for parts on the side, which is tough being a college student, so I won't be able to splurge all the time on parts.
Back in February I finally purchased my first "mod". I got a BSH Race Intake and with the help of my cousin we installed it.
Right now I'm saving for my next purchase and deciding what to do next. I hope y'all enjoy this thread and enjoy the progress as much as I do.
