Saw ya guys from metrodubs, thought I would drop in and see whats going on over here and see if I am fast enough to hang w/this crew
My name is Ryan, I moved to sw aurora last November for a job that would pay me enough to do what I want to my ride. I was born and raised in Wichita KS, so yea I am new to the area.
My car is a 2001 VW GTI VR6 with a few mods..

its not about being fast... we are all ricers on here... j/k
most newbies cannot stand the BS and sense of humor, so they cry like little girls... once you get past that stage, you should be a member for a while.
welcome to hai...

I can handle it, dont worry bout me...
I dun take any of this shit seriously, I build my car for myself and my own pleasure.. but I can be a smartass too, hence the topic ;-)

thanks, Ive had it since July, its all custom and Ive done all the work my self so its been garaged more than its been driven.. I added up all the mods @ MSRP and I have nearly exceeded the price I bought the vehicle for... but in reality who pays MSRP?
Ive got a ton of crap I am doing to it at the moment, but I am hoping to get it to a dyno here by march and see where I am at.
a 2.8L @ 20psi is alot of fun to drive :biggthump

The motor wont be getting much more attention, Water/Meth is only big thing in near future.. so I can crank boost up to 24psi
im doing mostly drivetrain work so I run w/slicks, but I do have something up my sleeve for once the weather gets better..
