[HermanH]

Dave, those first two shots are soo good looking. Wish I could keep mine looking that good, but then again, I'm pretty lazy after the first few years with a car. http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/frown.gif

[glxpassat]

David, as per what Herman said............Those first two pics look like they should be in a magazine advertisement. Lookin good as always.

[blakwag]

Can't get enough of those wheels! http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emthup.gif Looking great!!!

[Wunder Wagen]

Thanks guys, just representin for Club B5!! David http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/biggrin.gif

[Z28Driver]

What a fantastic lookin car, the wheels the interior hell ill take it all http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/biglaugh.gif

Drool....

[jrlvwjet]

Damn David, your car is frickin' SICK!!! Me likes! http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/biggrin.gif

[Wunder Wagen]

Again, thanks for the kind words. I figure someone up here in NorCal has to represent for the lowly Variant owners!! I am still out numbered 10 to 1 at all the shows by sedans! http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/biggrin.gif David

[b5bel]

amazing

[ronaldmcdonald]

Nice modding concept! http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emthup.gif I very much like your approach on the performance mods, it's very well balanced and thought out.

I'd like to ask a few questions though, if you don't mind.

Have you ever dynoed your car with diff stages of tuning? I'm particularly interested to see the ATP turbokit's powerband (especially with and without the 3" exhaust).

Is your 3" exhaust fully turboback, w/out a cat? I'd be also highly interested to see how much you gained from it. I'm also thinking about this mod myself.

About your CF hood, how do you like it, and how much does it weigh roughly? The CF hood I have from import fan has been less than satisfactory, so I'm thinking about replacing mine with something better. I'm also going to get a CF hood later on for my CRX, and I might also get one from fiberimages if things work out.

Are you going to race your Passat? It sure would be fun to race another highly tuned B5 on the track. If you're interested, I would highly suggest you consider checking out the Dubwar road race event in Buttonwillow, CA this August; http://www.dubwar.net . My car will be doing the beginner group, and I think another supercharged V6 Passat will also be competing. How can you resist? http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emsmile.gif

[Wunder Wagen]

Ronald, no problem on the questions...

#1 I have dynoed it stock (141HP 155 Torque) APR chipped (164HP 212 Torque) and with the ATP kit first installed, stock exhaust (265HP 242 Torque). I have not redynoed it with the 3" exhaust or the Greddy Profec as they are still working on it.

#2 My exhaust is a true 3" turbo back with a relocated 3" cat, resonator, and muffler. No idea of power gains yet until the chip tuning for the turbo is done. No check engine light now that the O2 sensors are installed! http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/biggrin.gif

#3 I really like my CF hood. It does sit a little high at the front corners but if you decided to use hood pins the fit would be perfect. I choose not too and keep the clean look. Fiber Images seems to have a very good reputation for hoods. I would recommend talking with Chris at Diablo Autosports and tell them David with the black Passat wagon sent you. If you are interested in buying one he can set you up on a reasonable price for it. They are the NorCal distributor for Fiber Images.

#4 Race, hadn't thought about it. I should be able to considering the brakes, suspension, and motorwork I have but I am worried about messing up the bodywork. I have a full bodykit and don't want to damage it. I will be at Dubwar I just can't guarantee that I will be racing. We'll see...... David

P.S. I should have a new dyno sheet for Dubwar!! I am trying for 300HP to the wheels... http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/biggrin.gif

[ronaldmcdonald]

Thanks! I look forward to checking out your car in Dubwar. http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emthup.gif http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/embeer.gif

[mistertam]

http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/eek.gif I can't stop looking at your mods!!! MUST... STOP... STARING

http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/cry.gif Why didn't I get the T3/T4!! http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/cry.gif

Kick as ride. Can't wait until I see it again at the gtg. http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emthup.gif http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emthup.gif

[Huffster]

Do you ever show down in Southern CA?

[Wunder Wagen]

Not as much as I used to. I will be at Dubwar at Buttonwillow and plan to attend Euro Tunerfest later this year. Those are the only two shows I can think of down south. If you can attend either of those shows please stop by and say hi. David

[duncan]

I need to replace my rear bumper cover on my Wagon. Where did you get yours and how much was it. Thanks.

[Wunder Wagen]

Duncan, I can't remember the actual pricing but you can order the rear Dietrich Tuning wagon bumper cover from Paul at PG Performance. I love mine, it fits very well once you get it on. David

P.S. You may have to cut out a notch on the bottom to clear the exhaust tips!!

[vw18t]

Great ride David. http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emthup.gif

[Wunder Wagen]

Recently updated with some of my new mods and sponsors. David

This is one of the reasons people are fascinated by my ECS Tuning stage 3 brake kit! The nickel is actually wedged inbetween the spokes of my custom built Intro-Forged 19" wheels and the Porsche caliper! The rims were custom made for this brake kit. Even though the clearance is remarkably tight I have been driving this way for most of the year with no problems. I love these brakes!! http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/biggrin.gif

[Wunder Wagen]

Things are good Tim. I have some "special" plans for this season. I am hoping to have everything wrapped up by April. Waterfest would be a pretty major commitment on my part but I will see what I can do. David

here are the FULL size version of the pics i took of your car at the Import Motion show http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/wink.gif

feel free to use them as you like (they aren't copyrighted or anything like that)

enjoy!

[Wunder Wagen]

Nice photos Jeff, thanks. You are a true professional behind the camera! David

[Thumber]

Hey David, nice ride!! Do you have any pics of the exhaust system or a diagram of how I could do something similar with mine? Also, any pics of how you mounted you fogs?

Thanx
Jason

[Thumber]

Oh, and has the issue already been published for EuroTuner or European Car?

[Wunder Wagen]

Thumber, I really don't have any undercar shots. The exhaust is the ATP 3" system. They might have something on their website. The PIAA foglights are actually double stick taped to my radiator. Sounds funny but it works. The grill actually wedges them in against the bumper to hold them in place. The light coverage is about the same as the factory headlight based foglights and the grill keeps them from being stolen too. As for the magazine article, it is still pending but should be out soon. David

[Thumber]

Sweet thanks.

BTW: I soon will own one of those goreous hoods, http://65.27.81.181:8081/phpBB2/images/smiles/jump.gif
my hood from GTP was a pile of http://65.27.81.181:8081/phpBB2/images/smiles/puke.gif but it was destroyed by a deer so now I can join the elite http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/biglaugh.gif

Congrats again David! I've seen you around Milpitas a couple of times (usu. going the opposite direction on Calaveras). I can only hope our variant will end up half as good looking as yours has!

Keep up the great work!

/karl

[Wunder Wagen]

Karl, maybe we should hook up for lunch sometime. I work right off of 237 at Mathilda. I usually end up in Milpitas for lunch anyways. David

[TripleA]

Wunder Wagon, this is weird. I was just checking out your wagon on the club and remembered I had just seen your exact wagon on my new issue of Eurotuner.

What caught my eye was first the wheels and then the fog lights inside the grille.

Nice job on the details of your show winner!

By the way, you won't be the only wagon representing the North Bay, Tracy area. I'll be moving up there in a couple of months. I'll be moving into the Standard Pacific Homes, Lourence Ranch community. Ring a bell?

Maybe, we can hook up? Swap some ideas for some mods to my daily driver. See you out there...... :D

Ooops, no pictures yet.

TripleA, this is too weird. Lourence Ranch is right across the street from me!! I am in the Lyon Villa community right off of 11th street. When are you coming up?? It would be great to have another B5 member in the area to hang out with. Give me a call so we can hook up!

That sounds cool. I work over here in McCarthy Ranch (at Palm, Inc.). We moved into the empty Cisco buildings across from WalMart.

I'll ping you when I figure out my schedule.

[TripleA]

Hey David, sorry I didn't respond sooner. I'm a bit busy with work lately. Anyhow, my new home is expected to be completed 06/31/03.

I'm going to take you up on that GTG. I've written down your number. So, here's mine 408-369-3910.

By the way, I'm headed to the New Dimensions Car Show. Are you going to be there? Maybe, we can meet there all us wagoneers. What do you think? :) :roll:

[Wunder Wagen]

TripleA, yes I will be at the New D show. Just look for my wagon surrounded by a sea of sedans at the show!! ;) David

[TripleA]

Great! I'll meet you there. :lol:

[glxpassat]

David, I just saw your car in Euro-Tuner..........Congratulations to you and your car!!!

[Wunder Wagen]

Okay, some new updates coming soon. Just so everyone knows I am no longer sponsored by ATP and will be announcing a new sponsor soon! Stay tuned..... ;)

David

[SeeWinston]

Your car is f--kin' awsome! That's all I can say...f--kin' awsome! :lol:

[Wunder Wagen]

Thanks, I am hoping to improve on it for the 2004 show season. We shall see how it turns out. David

[blakwag]

Anything new David? My wagon looks up to yours :wink:

[SalManilla@Home]

David,
I read your comments about installing power seats into your B5. Can you describe (or do a quick write-up) about how this was done? I am getting ready to do something similar and I would like to be ready for as many pitfalls as possible!

thank you,

Sal
