    I bought a used Injen intake for $100, used Accessport with your tunes on it for $400, used catted downpipe for $250 and new Mabotech Twintercooler rep for $300. No need for exhaust as it's basically just noise on these cars. I'm just as fast as everyone buying name brand parts for barely over $1k in mods.

    The definition of "fast" varies to different people. Stock S with DSG will hit 60 in 5.7 and with stickier tires around 5.5 bone stock. No matter what i do to my mk7.5 it will never be as fast as the car it replaced. I knew that getting into this car. I find the car stock is very fun to drive and in most cases is all you really need😎

    Bro I love your stuff and im looking to buy a gti 7.5 from carvana, i have owned many cars and trucks im 58 and im a busted up 911 firefighter from NYC 4 spinal surgeries prostate cancer from the year digging for bodies at ground zero. My wife died from cancer a few years ago and my daughter is living her own life now. I used to coach ice hockey national teams but because of my injuries I can ni longer even skate.I think the gti manual or an sti might be a nice hobby car that I can actually get in and out of and be able to drive for several hours at a time. I like to just drive around now its my way of finding peace . I have owned a fist that i cobbed out and a honda si coup and a honda touring sport both in manual, I also had a gli 35th anniversary manual,loved that car and I should have kept it . My daughter drives one now and loves it. I am seeking your advise on weather you think its a good idea to buy from carvana? And if I get a car from then I would like you to help me build a fun car that I can afford and I can drive with all my injuries. Also can I buy all the things you suggest from you.Im in Central Pennsylvania now and the car dealers out here have become crooks and are ripping people off . My life has been a brutal one and has brought me to follow my KING JESUS ,I dont know if you are a man of GOD but you seem to be a good man with a wonderful heart and soul ,it is one of the things I love about your work and I want to support you because good trustworthy men are hard to find these days and you seem to be a good man. Im sorry for the long winded message but I spend lots of hours listening to you talk, its always such a one-sided conversation,HA . SO I JUST FELT like this would be a good way to have a nice conversation with you. I know you are very busy with all your work , so if your not able to get back to me I understand and I know you get stressed out at times with growing your dreams. I dont want to add to your stress levels so if your not able to get back to me I do understand. I want to wish you the best of luck in all you do and I hope that GODS BLESSING WI COVER YOU IN EVERY THING YOU DO. Take care of yourself brother and I look forward to your next videos.
