2002 VW GTI 1.8t AWP

First car and I've been bitten by the Modding Bug. I need to stop!!! Turbo is a nice thing with only a 1.8 litre engine. In stock form, the car has 180Bhp @ 5500rpms with 173lb-ft @ 1950rpms. It's a 5 speed manual, cloth interior, black on black, PW, PB, A/C, Monsoon double din stereo, and a moonroof.

Nice ride...we hit most So Cal shows, do a little track and run our own toys for tots charity car show each year. Oh, and don't forget the BBQ's!! We're a laid back team of daily rides. Cheers, Ted http://www.teamtransport.org (there's a group page on us here to, still linking all the profiles though!)

I came here to hand you stars. yeah, this little girl of yours looking wild as hell. I mean, it seems as if it will out-run anything out there. Look at her, I love the ride, dude. Keep the black because that color certainly fits it... Good job! Check out my ride to see if you like it. If you do and believe it worth showoff for the next week, click on the nominate link to nominate my ride. If you don't like my ride, please feel free to degrade it :) Thanks bro
