skyle Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Greetings from York Recently the wife and i picked up a 13 Touareg TDI LUX, and i told her if we are spending that much money on a car i am done with "Over the counter" products! After trolling the detailing forums for a few weeks i decided to start my detailing kit off with Adam's Essential kit! After the kit arrived i proceeded to watch the DVD few times to make sure everything would go as smoothly as possible. My first project was on my 06 MK5 GTI which at best it was washed a few times a year by hand and waxed once or if it was lucky twice a year, so i would consider it neglected, however,as you can see by the pictures everything came out quite well considering i do not have a machine polisher yet. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151635674078961.1073741835.501563960&type=1&l=a8641f124d Also, if anyone in the york area ever needs to use Ross-tech VCDS (Vag-Com) my rates are typically a 6 pack of beer much lower than the cost of a dealer scan!

StormChaser Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Welcome to the family! There are usually 2 detail clinics a year. We've already had the spring event. Watch out for the fall clinic held by Thompson Racing over in Horsham. A few of us always drive up from Lancaster area and make the event. I suspect this event will be in the fall towards September/October. Keep your eyes opened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyle Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 Welcome from Shippensburg PA! Not too far from you... Great looking GTI! The look can be deceiving its a gti with a jetta front color matched side markers and OEM tinted rears with stock suspension. Pop the hood it has an intake and pcv bypass. What you can't see is the stage 2 revo tune, 3"down pipe and a fully build transmission with a wavetrac LSD, clutchmasters fx350, 034 shift forks, raxles race axles...so it's looks great honestly people that change their suspension for looks have no idea how capable the stock suspension is bwcause it lacks a LSD. I highly recommend wavetrac over quaife or peliquin. All of that is based on my previous car where I spent all my money on suspension. Next next year is a coilover suspension that will be cornered weighted,followed up the next year with a full blow rebuild and a bigger turbo. Mind you this is my daily driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyle Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 With a name like Surgis and living in York, do you have a H-D in the garage? I would love to tell you that was the case but I grew up in frostburg md, moved here when I was 17 and now I am 30. Of course I grew up around HD my dad has owned a few and still does but I have stayed away from bike do to my interest in speed. I am in process of selecting a bike to start a cafe racer. I'm not sure if I want to go with an old school approach or go with a modern take on old school from Cleveland cycleworks or pick up a triumph and start a new build. Prior to picking up the gti in 06 I looked at getting a zx6r or a r6 but when I left the dealership my Honda acted up (it was pissed I didn't look at a Honda) so I ended up with the gti I still have my lt250r Suzuki quad racer when I want to fast offroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric@thompsonracing.us Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Welcome Sturgis! Good to see a VW nut from Lancaster County! I went to LVC in Annville PA and had a VW Corrado. There were a TON of VW people out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
