June 16, 2008: FK Silverline X

Got new coilovers put on. Big thanks goes out to Josh and his crew at Nothing Leaves Stock. I had him spin the rears all the way down. If you like to go low these will achieve that.

Measurements:
F- 23.75"
R- 22.50

Raised the rears an 1" and now it feels a lot better. Stiffer than stock but very drivable.

May 19, 2008: So Fresh, So Clean!

I finally got some free time to install my Evoms intake and H&R rear sway bar. Also got to de-badge the R.

March 30, 2008: BlownEuros GTG

Went to my first large GTG. It was awesome. All generations represented well. I believe I was one of four MKV R's.

Oh my baby is all fixed, except for a few minor interior things that need fixing. Also got my summer tires back on. Winter is fun but spring is nicer.

February 11, 2008: The R goes in for some surgery

Well today was the day I dropped my R for the repairs that were done on 11/18/07. Took a while for parts to be ordered. It was hard to see the R have to stay at the body shop. Only have to wait a week, thank heavens. Will post pics when its done.

January 15, 2008: Broke 10,000 miles

Broke the magical number. She's running better than ever. You can really feel her pull a lot more. Can't wait for the Evoms intake!

November 18, 2007: First Fender Bender

Well it had to happen, my first fender bender. I wasn't even in the car. My friend's uncle backed up into the car. He dented the driver door and the left rear panel. It looks like She's going to need lots of bodywork. Not good.

November 10, 2007: TFT Philly and Flyers Game

Went into Philly today for the Toys for Tots GTG in FDR park. After the GTG went to see the Flyers and Penguins game. It was an overall great day!
Also changed out my wheels from the OZ's to BBS CHs.

October 22, 2007: New stuff put on.

I had H&R coilover, Milltek Catback exhaust, and Haldex Gen II controller put on today. Gotta thank Josh at Nothing Leaves Stock in Coopersburg, PA. The crew over there was cool and they help a newbie like me. Driving is now a whole new experience. Need to get an alignment and all will be set. Yeah!

October 12, 2007: First Oil change

Hit 5000 miles the other day. J. Bertolet in Orwigsburg, PA handled the oil change and tire rotation. Service was great. The R feels a lot better. Smoother shifts + Better acceleration = More fun!!!!

October 07, 2007: Smoked mirror signals

Installed smoked mirror signals. Finishes the front nicely. Just got to get the new grill form VWoA. Ha Ha
