Saab -> VW Convert ... any meetups? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

LBH · 02-11-2013, 12:56 PM

I was in a saab state of mind for the past 7 years, but now that part availability for that make may get questionable I've gone BACK to VW … my first car was 67’ bug, then I inherited a dark-green cabriolet, had a 80’s Jetta and finally a Scirocco… then Honda's and Toyota's for awhile after that...

Now I have this 2DR GTI and the fun is back.. anyone know of a group that meets in the Chester County area or in the vicinity of Phoenixville, PA?

Thanks,
Bart

I guess that's a NO

Foolinaround · 02-19-2013, 01:12 PM

Just VW's? Check the Pa section of the forum but your best bet is Vortex

Vortex... I think those are the VW guys who do weekly meets in Union NJ on Weds nights.

LBH · 02-19-2013, 03:24 PM

cool thanks guys appreciate that will do and i'll checkout vortex

renn · 02-19-2013, 03:32 PM

LBH · 02-19-2013, 04:58 PM

renn · 02-19-2013, 06:08 PM

If you are on Facebook, check out the PA Dubbers group. I'm sure you'll find something. And yes Vortex as well

vortex sucks...

LBH · 02-19-2013, 07:04 PM

thanks Sublime i'll check out fb... renn have you done anything to your GTI? Are you planning to? Mine is stock at the moment...

renn · 02-19-2013, 07:50 PM

mine is also stock. i may lower it a little on the OEM VWR springs and bilstein HD struts but other than that, it will probably remain stock for awhile

LBH · 02-19-2013, 09:47 PM

ok cool. sounds tasteful.

do you know if its possible to put the LED's in under the headlights? (sort of like the audi) When I was at the dealership test driving some of the new models they had that... maybe that was the GLI I was looking at...

renn · 02-19-2013, 10:20 PM

there's a vendor on golfmk6 that sells replica Golf R headlights (with projectors and LED strips) iirc they are around $500 plus shipping. a lot of people have them along with replica Golf R LED taillights.

I agree, vortex does kind of suck. I only frequent that forum for mk4 parts and wheels
