New Dubber
 

Hey guys how's it going?

I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Ken. I'm from near Gap, PA, but I go to school in Philly.
I drive a mk1 1984 VW Rabbit gti and I push a little boost :mrgreen: I bought the car two years ago and did all the work myself. I look forward to meeting a lot of you guys and hopefully seeing you as some car shows or get togethers.

The original hot hatch. Great car. I like the blue GTI trim.

yessir! Thanks for the words. I'm glad you like it. Most people tell me they like the red better, but I love the blue.

I have tons of swap pics of my progress through the entire thing if anyone is interested.

It's definitely a frankenrabbit. It's what I love most about dubs - they're basically legos.
Passat 1.8T bottom end, A4 1.8T top end, Audi TT (225hp) Intake Mani, k03s turbo from a mk4 GTI, evo 8 intercooler, just got a new trans I gotta put in from an 81 diesel rabbit, vr6 waterpump pulley, mk3 tdi oil filter housing, I custom made all the boost pipes and downpipe myself as well as the coolant lines, etc, deleted all PCV ish and run a catch can, brake booster one way valve from a '60's camaro :-p, SPEC Stg 3+ Clutch +PP, lower scirocco k bar, coilovers, and prob more that I'm forgetting.
I'm chipped on a United Motorsports tune and I weigh around 1800 lbs with the full interior intact. So much fun to drive :drag:
and I'm no where close to being finished.

That roof :)

Nice car! Welcome to TST :)

couldn't agree more, Elliott! lol

thanks Ender!

Sweet! I'm near Gap/Parkesburg/Christina/Coatesville area :) hbu?
It'd be cool to get together, let me know if you go to any local meets! I'll take you for a cruise. It's like driving a go-cart. i'm in Philly during the week at school though, so weekend is preferred.

thanks!
