Hi Folks,
Just joined this community although we've had our Touareg 3.0 TDI MY2009 since October 2008. Love the car and want to do some tripping about. Found some spare 17" wheels in Brisbane for $250.00 each at JAXQuickfit Tyres Bowen Hills. As at 5th Aug 09 they had 7 left.

Cheers
Bruce

Greeting from Melbourne!

Been looking on this forum for a while now, and finally decided to join!

I've got a 2006 Golf GTI DSG with a bit of work done to it, and hopefully more to come.

Cheers

Hi all!

Name's Rob. I currently reside in Melbourne, and thought I'd join this forum since I'm soon to inherit my mum's 2006 Jetta 2.0T FSI, as she goes on to bigger and better things (most notably a hot new C-class)! Sadly, I'm moving on from my current car, a 2004 Honda Accord Euro, which is a car I've dearly loved and will find hard to let go!

Anyways, I can't say enough about the Jetta! Just drove it out the other night to the car wash just to get a good look at it, and what can I say. She's a beaut! Especially lovin the look from the outside, with the chrome grill and the bug-eyed styling!

I can't talk enough about how good this engine and DSG drive. It is by far the most refined pairing of fine european technology available at this price and even in the price bracket directly above! Simply amazing feel, efficiency, and sheer performance.

Probably early days still, but I am definitely looking at making this beaut my first crack at high-level mods, and given I'm inheriting it for a reasonable price I thought I'd join this forum to see what all the other happy VW owners did to theirs!

Things I'd like more info on, which I will search for are as follows:
*ECU Upgrades for the 2.0 T
*Exhaust upgrade packages
*Cold intake manifold packages
*Good tuners to deal with around Melb
*Warranty issues related to the aforementioned mods (hopefully none )
*Insurance experience of fellow modders under the age of 25

Anyways, this looks a fantastic informative forum, and look forward to hearing your thoughts about the car I'm getting and ideas as to how I can wipe this massive smile off my face

Cheers!

Rob
