Looks like a decent mod list. Post pictures of your STI cluster.

It's funny that you lead your mod list with STI Radiator Cap, and then casually mention oh hey by the way, Cobb Access Port Stage 2 and rattle off a bunch of impressive speed and handling parts.

Please post pics of the steering wheel and shift knob!
Congrats on the purchase

I'd like to see this as well. I'm wondering how it flows with our interiors.

Congrats!! Post some pics.
Aero | 4EAT | Graphite Rota Torques | Factory Stock for now...Offline
relax guys! manyana pics! im troubleshooting a few little issues that i came across!
Offline
some pics are up.
if any one want to buy the wheel and shift knob lmk! the wheel feels great bc its actual wood. im just partial to the regular momo!
Offline
Those VW wheels are surprisingly attractive on the Aero.
Offline
Agreed, and I don't usually like 5 spokes in anything larger than a 15". Everything looks really sharp, except maybe for the belt buckle.
Offline
like i said, that was when the last owner had it. the belt buckle is off. i just put up some pics of the exhaust! there are a few wiring things that i have ran across in the past week that i am fixing. They worked, but i have vampire clips as i am a electrician by trait, so they dont sit with me. I am taking care of a few things and then more pics will be up!
the last few days i have:
-Installed Cobb TBE and turbo heat shield
-Uninstalled a few things in the car that i am putting back to stock/ or cobb stuff
-Flashed to Stage 2
-Powerwashed the TMIC to get all the small rocks out and straightened the fins out that were bent

The shift knob and wheel are interesting. I don't feel like they flow all to well with the rest of the interior, but it's an original look.
Offline
Since you are rocking VW wheels, it seems appropriate for me, a VW forum regular, to remind you that your car needs mooaarr low. Those wheels will look awesome on your car once that happens.
Nice build so far!
Offline
again...the VW wheels where on there when i got it! It is now rocking 17x8 +48 Rota Boosts! I still have the VW wheels but i have had these Rotas sitting around fresh out of the powder coater for about 3 months and itching to put them on something!

Drop before wheels!

I am digging the wood, class the place up a bit

What's the story with that Wood wheel? Did the previous owner pay to have that and the shifter done? I don't think I've ever seen an aftermarket wood addition to a stock wheel.
Kinda crazy
