awesome 2 stupid ass comments in one thread. How many people here have color matched parts on their cars? exactly

also please explain to me how the 1.8t is fail? throw rods in it and the bottom end is good for 500+hp? and thats fail? versus all the bullshit that has to be completely built here to make any amount of power? for more then a week. on a mild tune a 1.8t can make around 200whp and over 240wtq....yup that must be a shitty motor.

These amazing 1.8t engines will be gladly sold to you.
