 I just started trying out the photo software PhotoMatix for some HDR pictures so I decided to show two of the pictures I made. They're not the best, but I'm still getting used to the program.

 German engineering at it's best. The GTI is one of the biggest bangs for the buck becuase it can hold its own on the road with it's looks and fuel economy, and also hold it's own on the track with it's power and handling.

 Perfomance Additions to the already potent VR6

(Like most of the engines for the MKIV's, they were designed for high torque, but not a great deal of horsepower. So the HP numbers may not be that high, but the torque numbers sure are.)

H&R lowering Springs, ECSTuning Slotted Big OEM brakes (TT caliper carrier and rotors), Cold air intake, Bosal exhaust, TT short shifter, ECSTuning Upper Strut bar.

 Exterior Additions

19inch Axis rims wrapped in Toyo proxy 4's, 17inch Riax rims wrapped in Bridgestone Blizzaks for winter, Glass housed 12,000K (also have 4300K when I want something brighter) HID's, clear tail lights, turn signals, and side markers, and all lights inside and out are LED's. And no German automobile is complete without the Europlate in front.

Winner of the Amoco Ulimate Photo Contest for the month of September!!!!

 Coming soon...

(Parts are sitting in my room, but being a college student away from home, I don't have all the time in the world to work on the car as much as I used to.)

Poly bushings for the front sway bars and control arms and dog bone engine mount, and the new SS brake lines and brake fluid should be in soon since the weather is getting nicer.

 

Thanks to a fellow Dubber up here in Cleveland, the air bag light has been reset and my check engine light has been taken care of. The VDub community saves me money again.

 

 I'm looking for a VW club in the Cleveland Ohio area. If anyone knows of one please let me know.
