I only envy the 18" Detroits

Must save up to get Caractere CW1's to out-bling these!!!

Wah ... you all have been busy since I've been gone.

Anyways, don't think can come for the TT cause wife is sick and must wifesit for the while.

Not related but can anyone recommend me a good wheel shop where I can see cun wheels?

I'm pissed that the SE Golfs are getting 18" Detroits. In retaliation, am gonna get some aftermarket 18" to outbling those.

OT but what the hell ... please support my bulk:

Added on June 25, 2011, 8:19 pmI donno why it doesn't get any support, but I went with Ecotint in Subang Taipan for both my cars. They're not cheap but workmanship is superb.

Donno about you, but to me a tint is a tint. I care more about how the tinting job was done and I have no complaints on Ecotint's workmanship.

10 year transferrable warranty summore (for their top of the line tints lar).

How much is usually the charge for a full VAGCOM scan on our cars?

I just figured out how to install cruise control on my GTI but need a bit more information before I dive in.

Thanks

Just came back from a trip to Singapore in the GTI. Did not really speed but was able to get there within 3 hours. Not bad at all, don't regret a single cent I paid for the car. Stuff of note that happened during my trip:

1 - Before anyone asks, no I didn't buy anything car related over there. No money
2 - Curbed a wheel. Stoooopid narrow Singapore roads
3 - My wife drove back to KL. She is even worse than me ... super aggressive and I bet we were on the receiving end of a few curse words from other drivers

A good thing out of all the above? My wife asking me this: "How much was that stage 1 upgrade you were talking about?"

I'm suggesting this cause this was the main cause of weird sounds in my car. It was driving me nuts but as it turned out, the car wash fellas just didn't click the seats back at its proper place. I know it sounds stupid but have a look lah. Who knows.

Hope this works out for you.

Ya man ... wanna slow talk a bit to see if she would like to sponsor say 25% ke ...

So how lah brother ... CC stalk mau ka? I'm thinking of ordering this week.

Racun kuat nieee! Psssssst ... how much was stage 1 again?

Should be cause our GTI's have the MFD and all that. If you want to be sure, maybe someone can VAGCOM their GTI and post the steering wheel control module info here. If I can get that number, then I can check to see whether the stalk is plug and play.

According to our brother Yan, Sg Besi VW can install and code it for us. Not too expensive also ... RM100 or RM200 (can't remember exactly) not including the price of the stalk.

I'm planning to order in small batches (max 3) to hopefully avoid any tax.

you sir ... are correct

Timing lah my friend ... am in between jobs at the moment so susah a bit to lari. Will definitely come for a TT once I get things in order.

Wheelspin huh ... never thought about that. But aside from looks, don't you normally look for lighter rims when upgrading?

Why don't you go to tirerack.com and do a search for tires. From there, you can set whatever criteria you want (max performance, max comfort, etc.) and you can narrow down your choices from there. If you're lucky, there are some user reviews as well.

And for good 18" tires, unless I'm wrong, I don't think you'll find anything below RM800 per tire.

Would love to see how it would look like on a black GTI (errrr ... not that I want to buy one)

Update:
Actually can see already from Exotic Mods' FB page

Too much talk about other cars and not enough talk about VW and spending our money on stuff we clearly don't need.

Let me get things back on track:

So who has more money than brains and will get one?

Me? Of course.
