SirRangeALot's 2002 VW Passat W8 -- ROTM October 2009
Owner Member Name: Jeremy a.k.a. SirRangeALot Year: 2002 Make: Volkswagen Model: Passat W8 Color: Deep Black
Summary of the car: I've owned this car for about 4 years and it has been I've been in love ever since. Getting a VW has opened a whole new world in my life. I've become more and more passionate about the VW scene as time goes on. I've always been about subtle mods...it's frustrating seeing how most people with other Passats or Jettas with 1.8T's or other platforms have unlimited exterior, interior, and engine mod choices. W8 owners have few limited choices with what we can do. But I've learned to work around these limitations.
Pictures:
Engine Specs: Custom exhaust -- (2) 4" SilverLine mufflers straight back to quad SilverLine tips. CAI and SpeedTuning chip coming soon!
Notable Accomplishments: Won "Best Vanity Plate" award -- Eurowerks 2009; "Way Out There" award -- Rally For Dyamond 2008.
Comments:
[Today 11:42 PM] BORA20vTurbo: do you know what a good exhaust on a W8 sounds like?
[Today 11:43 PM] BORA20vTurbo: like a VR6's bigger, beefier, manlier, sexier, baby-eating brother

Just because I'm a mod doesn't mean that I can't have some fun too

Summary of the car: Bought it in January 09, and has been my money pit ever since. At first I was skeptical about it, but I have truly grown to absolutely love this car. I took pride in being the only guy in my high school who drove a Jetta ahah. I have a lot of plans for this car, and every time I get on this forum I learn something new
Pictures:
Engine/Performance:2.0L 4cyl, C.A.I, Front Upper Strut Bar
Exterior: Clear sidemarkers, blacked out emblems, Jetta logo delete, Bora mudflaps (might be gone soon), joey modded headlights
Interior/Audio: Kicker DS600 speakers (all doors), Sony Xplod GT330 Head Unit, Leather w/ heated seats
Plans for the Future:Sawblades or Aristos (or any wheels that look good for a good price), Coilovers (likely Racelands or Fk Streetlines), GLI/R-Line Shiftknob and boot, Front Plate delete, TT short shifter, Ansa Silverline Cat-Back exhaust, GLI taillights, stubby antenna, Rear Sway Bar, Roof Rack, GLI/20th AE Lip Kit, Alpine KTP-445 amp
As you can tell this car is still in the early stages of its life

Summary of the car: im so glad i chose this car it was gunna be a 04 bmw m3 sports package 6 speed manual or a 04 jetta 1.8t
i drove both of them the bmw is fast but i didnt like how it shifted it hade 90,000 miles the guy drove the shit out of it. then it was the jettas turn i looked at it and looked at it i just hade a weird feeling i got into the car the guy gave me the keys. i started it the dealer guy told me to floor it and that moment that the car took off the turbo started spoiling my mom freaking out was great. how my head hit the head rest was amazing i didnt know how what to say to the guy. lol the car hade 63,789 miles so its gunna last me for some time now now it has 73,000 and still does the samething everytime i will be a VW owner for a long time. thats pretty much it.
