i normally go to a small local shop, but i bought my current stem and bars from http://www.thebikebiz.com/ which was pretty good. http://www.benscycle.net/ is also good, but i havent bought from them, just know people who have.
i know relatively nothing about VW's tech features. I've test driven a Jetta and a Passat and wasn't blown away either either. I guess they were't "boxy" enough for me. (LOL) but i'm just going by what he said. I never knew about it until he told me. His boss hates VW's so much that he almost wants to put up a sign that says "NO Volkswagens" but that would be bad business. They don't like working on Mercedes either but thats more because their parts are so expensive that they have to charge customers these high fees and their making little money in labor on the job. A single tailight for newer Mercedes can be around $300 depending upon what car its for.
I need to find a good, reputable VW shop in the Philly area that can fix the almost catastrophic suspension failure that just happened to my car.
I normally get all my work done in NC at German Speed Merchants, but it looks like they did a shitty job, so I need to get it fixed at a good, legit shop that can prepare an invoice and bill GSM for the repair work. I can flat bed my car up to 50 miles.
I was looking at Verna's in south philly, but the fact that they build BMW race cars means that they will overcharge me for driving a Volkswagen.
haha i dont really mess with turbo cars, except stock srt neons and shit. lookin for some si's, more spec vs, maybe a few 2.5rs subbies (my buddies is turboed out and i can still hang) hell even a new GTI, i had a pretty damn good race with one not that long ago
thats cool, i've always like vdubs (just not working on them lol) but if you know anyone that wants to run a bolted spec v, I'm tryin to set up a race day at maple grove ( I have intake/ race header (catless)/exhaust/motor mount inserts/eibach springs/bfg kdw 2 nt tires/nismo ss) my buddy has a 08 si with intake too, i'm tryin to find some fairly even races (14.0-14.9 et)
yeah that pic was when it was stock as shit, now it has intake, header, exhaust, motor mount inserts, lowering springs, tint, short shifter, kdw tires....im sure there is more im forgetting, but im thinking about forgetting n/a and gettign a turbo
