Hey guys,
I figured it was about time I started posting my story. My name is David and I am a student at the University of Iowa. I am also a Tire Technician at Sam's Club. I have a Black 2003 VW Passat V6 GLX. Lets start with the story...
I originally owned a 2001 Ford Mustang that I had some fun decorating :lol:
Unfortunately I dont have a picture of my passat stock ( not much of a Picture guy). In the second picture of the mustang you can see my baby on the left though.
Shortly after I upgraded (or downgraded
) the headlights because of terrible scum.
Fairly quick after that, I took the emblems off the trunk
Upgraded the receiver a smidge and added a sub
Also, not seen in the pic, Im going on record to say that I have the most disgusting looking Shift boot out of anyone here
Recently I added a set of 18 inch ASA AR1's with 225/40R18 Kuhmo Ecsta LX platinums
Before you start, I just bought some ST Coilovers from the lovely vdubn from here and they should be here in the next week.
My story however has been more about repairs than anything :thumbup:
Fixed both ashtrays (pen behind one and the other was out of line)
Fixed my rear seat belt (found a piece of plastic jammed in it)
Fixed my first vacuum leak
Replaced my VCG
Brakes and rotors needed replacing immediately
Replaced both axles due to CV boot rip
Spent months figuring out my Keyfob issue
Did my first timing belt change
Fixed my Seat heaters
Basically performance wise its stock but I can say the car is as close to Factory as I can get it!
Of course, I will update this thread with new pics and other stuff when the time comes. In the meanwhile please let me know what you think :thumbup:
