did you do that all by yourself? j/k looks better

[ZX2 S/R Black]

I love the way that intercooler looks on the GTI... accent to the grills... sweet car man... take it to the track yet?

[j0hnZ]

lol at Vits gay new screen name. Anywho, I thought you didn't work on cars anymore.

[peter-vz]

It's FWD, worthless to take it to the track lol

My screenname rocks.

And I don't when I don't feel like it.

[Griffin]

What's with all that water behind it?

Nice ride though!

[PHeller]

Why not paint the IC black?

The raw intercooler kinda ruins the whole blacked out look the front end already has. You might as well get a chrome upper grill insert while your at it.

Oh wait...you wanted people to notice it, I get it now. :rolleyes:

[zxtuner98]

its t3h faster?

That was a pic of when I took the car down onto the beach @ the coast.

I like it that way. Looks like a turbo car now (plus you can still see the i/c behind the grill if I were to put it back).

[Hypnose Zx2]

I like alot!

[Canuck]

Cell phone cam FTL :(

[Technik]

i like it a lot

The GTI is a turbo car

[joshalabama]

Looks great. Do you get any traction in 1st or 2nd?

[zx2vt]

Looks good. Nicely done.

I've always liked the GTI's.

[Manbearpig]

Any hacking of the bumper beam or front bumper to get it to fit?

[capitalcrew]

Gayest Thing In (the world.)

:D

I'd rock one, no homo.

[ZX2WV]

what FMIC is that anyways?

[TheGhostInTheMachine]

No traction through 1st or 2nd with the TCS off.

No traction through 1st even with TCS on.

[TheGhostInTheMachine]

what FMIC is that anyways?
It's the Forge Motorsport FMIC.

[vega]

Really nice car !!! how about the interiors ??

[ZX2WV]

It's the Forge Motorsport FMIC.

alright, i was just wondering. i was looking, and there are quite a few options available. the eurojet one seems to be the best. did you keep the stock IC with the forge? cause i dont see it in the pics

[TheGhostInTheMachine]

Interior is stock aside from the aftermarket sound system.

LOL the Eurojet is not the best, not at all by any shot. There is no "best" intercooler, if there was it would be the APR one because it replaces the stock one in the stock location. Aside from that fact, APR, EJ, VF and Forge all make excellent intercoolers. The forge one is designed to run with the stock one (it's a TWINcooler setup) and is the easiest one to install. Absolutely no cutting to make it fit, it just bolts right up.

You're just tryin to mimic this:

[j0hnZ]

Matt's is way cooler in that setting...AWD ftw.

I can just imagine if I was there Vit would be stuck in the sand and I again would have to push his car up a hill and almost die.

I hope you guys thoroughly rinsed your cars down with fresh water after you did that.

pssh vit's way to lazy to wash it himself. He would go to a car wash :D

[2000ZxT]

Do you still have the Nissan?

And I am sorry but your GTI is not faster than my Escort.

[j0hnZ]

No he doesn't have the Nissan.

[2000ZxT]

Wow. Just wow.

[j0hnZ]

?

[TheGhostInTheMachine]

You hope.

[j0hnZ]

Damn Vit changed his sig...I don't think I will change mine though.

classic line!

[ZX2WV]

i love his car.

and what the hell does it matter if its fast or not? its not a POS escort.

That makes it 10x better.

its actually a hell of alot nicer than any escort IMO.

qft

[2000ZxT]

Wouldn't quite call my car a POS anymore.

[ImCrazy]

your zx2?

[TheGhostInTheMachine]

LOL a ZX2 is a POS no matter how much horsepower it has. You can't polish a turd.

[scort2498]

ummm do u guys have any sunny beach days???
in florida it's almost every day...but up there i know it's raingin pretty much 24/7

[TheGhostInTheMachine]

It was a sunny day lol

[ImCrazy]

Vit is right, zx2 is a pos no matter how u cut it, I love mine but its a pos, rattles like ass all over, interior is cheap and poorly designed, the transmission is just this side of complete shit. Yeah I love my zx2 but its not much more than a POS.

[Connal]

Same here. Lets face it. The escort (including the zx2) is a turd. Little aftermarket support, vibration issues, "hecho en mexico". No matter what way you look at it, it is a turd.

However my turd gets good gas milage, is affordable, and runs well most of the time. I'll gladly hop in my turd and drive around.

[TheGhostInTheMachine]

No one said you can't love your turd. I liked my ZX2 when I had it too.

[ford motorsports]

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, such a cute little car. :lol:

[gt35r zx2]

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, such a cute little car. :lol:
ya you car is cute too , bt not as cute as my escort that escorts mustang , j/k lol , bt it really does

[00EscortZx2]

What beach vit?

[ZX2WV]

i completly agree with vit and aaron.

why do you think your POS econobox is so great?

have you ever looked at the interior? that should explain everything right there.

hell, the platform is from 1991...hell, maybe even earlier than that.

[TheGhostInTheMachine]

What beach vit?
Lincoln City

[ImCrazy]

the escort its great for its simplicity but creature comforts and lack of a reliable tranny make it a turd :-( i could prob make the zx2 awesome but it wouldn't be worth the money to me.

[00EscortZx2]

Lincoln City

haha I haven't been there since like 7th grade. God I can't wait until the 18th!!!!! Matt's Scoob and a secksi VW. I might have to sell my soul and get one!

[FiReTRuCK_ZX2]

Love The GTI. It took a while, but they've really grown on me.

[j0hnZ]

If I had a GTI growing on me I would take it to the doctor so he could remove it.

[powder]

Then you'd have a GTI for the cost of a doctor visit.
