Taken a few blocks from home.
My friend's 2008 2.5L I5 Rabbit is lowered on H&R springs with Koni yellow adjustables. AWE cat-back, Carbonio CAI, Chipped. It dynoed 185hp. 15hp over stock bhp. He just bought a set of black 18" Mercedes C63 AMG wheels which he'll be installing next spring. These pics were taken the day he put it into storage for the winter.

He also has a 5 speed 95 850 Turbo wagon for all season.
Here's a video of him passing me (loud), followed by my T5 easily starting to catch up :D

That's EST for ya. I bought it being told that it will fit directly over the stock pipe. Not so much....
I'm having a custom 2.5" cat back installed soon to fix this s**t.

Lovin' your car Ed. The springs really do make a great difference!

Is that a ding on your passenger side? What happened there? :(

I bought the car with a few blemishes. That being the largest. I've yet to put a ding on it.
