I am in need of some sort of front and rear body kit for my 2000 GTI VR6. I need something with rear a exhaust hole. Where can I find such a thing? Also, can I find one already painted silver, like my car? Or do I have to get them painted myself?
Thanks.
You need to get them painted yourself.
You can buy the R32 Bodykit straight from a VW Dealer.
Or find one on a website.
You can get the VW magazine found in "Barnes and Noble" and "Borders". The VW magazine shows other modified VW's as well as parts you can buy for the car with phone numbers and websites and prices.
Data: from year 09/'94 - 04/'99, GTi 2.0i 16V (150HP) HORSEPOWER YOU CAN FEEL As with all K&N kits, when you bolt-on a 57i intake, you will notice the difference the next time you drive your vehicle. The 57i Gen I Intake Kits are a great way and in many cases the only way to maximize airflow and engine performance. They will replace the factory air box providing both High-Flow air filter technology and a larger air filter size. This winning combination will increase horsepower and sound great too. BREAK OUT OF THE FACTORY AIR BOX 57i Series Intake Kits are specifically designed for each different vehicle and will free your car from the size restriction that comes with the factory air box. These economical kits can take a variety of different forms based on vehicle characteristics and available space under the hood. Each kit is designed to provide power throughout the RPM range. Gen 2 s take advantage of the added airflow provided by an oversized air filter released from the restrictive factory air box. TECH TALK These kits bring engine airflow out of the factory box by providing a large size open-air conical or round High-Flow Air Filter. The extra surface area of these open-air air filters provide even more airflow at lower restriction than a K&N O/E replacement filter which is always limited to the size of the factory air box. The larger air filter also captures and holds more dirt increasing its service life before a cleaning is required (up to 100,000 miles). The filter is then either directly attached to the engine carburetor or throttle body or indirectly through a tube assembly running from the filter to the engine. All adaptors are made from high quality materials such as steel, aluminum, silicon or reinforced nylon and ensure long life. - Designed to increase HP and Acceleration - Engineered to Specific Vehicle Design - Easy to Install, Usually in 90 minutes or less! - Lasts up to 100,000 Miles Before Service is Required (depending on driving conditions) - Million Mile Limited Warranty - Replaces OEM Filter and Air Box - Air Filter is Washable and Reusable - Works with Original Equipment Manufacturer Computer Systems - Many European Applications include German TUV Approval

The TOUR TEMPO Speedball Package The SPEEDBALL teaches the feeling of Square Impact better than anything else on the planet. And Square Impact is the most important factor in achieveing straight shots. According to the book, “The Search for the Perfect Swing� the definitive study on the application of science to the golf swing , to hit a ball long and straight boils down to three things: 1. Clubhead square at impact. 2. Clubhead moving down the target line at impact. 3. at Maximum speed. The SPEEDBALL uses a principle that we call FeedForward. FeedForward means that you learn the feeling of the correct movement thru doing the action. How is this different from conventional training aids and video systems on the market today? Well, most just give you the results of the last swing that you took, or only work on one aspect of the swing. As many of you already know, those results that you get have totally nothing to do with acquiring the correct feeling for the right action. Just because you intellectually KNOW that you sliced the last shot, or that your takeaway was too much inside last time doesn't mean that you can make the next one go straight. The current trend is video analysis is a good example of this. Much time is spent in analyzing exactly where every body part is at any particular point of the swing; but as golfers have found out, just knowing this information doesn't mean we can change it. The reason that this information is totally useless as far as changing your swing is that it does absolutely nothing to give you the feeling of what you are trying to accomplish. The golfer's lament - “I KNOW what I should be doing, I just can't do it.� Bobby Jones stated that squaring the clubhead up at impact can only be achieved by our subconscious mind....which is programmed by our FeedForward principle. The beauty of the SPEEDBALL System is that it ingrains into your subconscious mind two of the most important and difficult to learn essentials of the golf swing - 1 Squaring the face of the club up at impact, and 2 acceleration of the club at and thru impact. The basic system is composed of the Striking Club, Impact Target, Base & Instructional DVD. 1. The Striking clubs are weighted the same, and have the same feel as a regular golf club. They come in mid-iron and driver sizes, both for men and women and are custom made for children. The clubhead is a ball that is divided into halves, one side white and the other black. The black side has a cross of Velcro Strips. The black side corresponds to the front of your clubface. 2. The Impact Target presents a one foot target that stands up from the floor. The face of it is covered with Velcro. You place the Impact Target on its Base. The idea is to swing thru the middle of the Impact Target and stick the Impact Target to the clubhead as it is swung to the finish.

Two Cheap Volkswagen Upgrades (part 2)
Two More Inexpensive VW UpgradesIn the first part of this series, we talked about two inexpensive upgrades that improve performance. First, an upper stress bar to improve handling, and second, a cold air intake to improve horsepower and add some growl. In this part we’ll to cover some more ground in the world of suspension enhancements. After all, you want to get your VW GTI or Jetta out into some curves don't you? If so, you’ll need some quality products to keep you on the road.
One of the two greatest concerns, when it comes to ripping the road, is suspension stiffness. Usually when suspension stiffness is modified, you also tend to modify your center of gravity, otherwise deemed 'Ride Height'. For about $225.00, a fellow dubber can obtain a set of fine quality H&R Springs. Options include the H&R Sport Springs, which tend to be stiffer than stock, but not absurdly so. The H&R Race Springs, very stiff, and not very comfortable for everyday ride. If you have a Golf or Jetta, then H&R's Sport Springs are going to make night and day difference alone. If you have a GTI, you already know that the ride can be a bit rough, and going to a set of Race Springs is going to make it a bit worse. A rude awakening for most. For a GTI owner, a set of Sport Springs should do the trick.
Let's quickly review what's entailed in a spring replacement. First, you'll need a set of Craftsman Strut Spring Compressor Tool with Built-In Safety Pins from Sears. They run about $50.00. Now if you're trying to be scrappy, you can always take these back when done. Just clean them up with a little WD-40 when you're finished. The back is going to be harder than the front in a way, as you're probably going to have to tear apart some interior. No worries though, it all snaps together/apart. Loosen your lug nuts on the first set of wheels while the car is on the ground. Pop the hood and loosen the strut tower nuts. Place a block or two behind the tires that will remain on the ground. (just in case) Jack one end of the car up one side at a time and place your jack stands under the front cross-member. (this has always worked for me) Pull off the first wheel, and remove bolts according to the Bentley Manual for your Golf or Jetta. Shimmy that strut out of there as a whole unit.
Once the strut is on the ground, go ahead and use the Strut Spring Compressor Tool to get the spring compressed. Be sure to keep the sides as even as possible! Once you feel you've gotten the spring compressed, unscrew the nut at the top of the strut tower. Everything should come apart relatively easily. Slide your existing spring off, and slide the new lower and stiffer springs on. You may not even need to compress the new springs when putting everything back together. When done, slide the entire strut back into place, and follow the above steps in reverse order. Voila! One down, three more to go!
The second largest concern in tearing through turns is, making sure the car doesn't sway in corners. Flailing, swaying, body-roll, etc. can all lead to disaster when cornering hard. The objective is to keep the car from shifting as much as possible when turning. There's a great deal of expensive hardware in existence to help this out, but let's stay focused on the cheap, but effective items. The cheap solution? An Eibach Sway Bar & Anti-Roll Kit! Price? Ballpark cost is around $350.00, shipped. The heavier gauge steel used in these sway bars is significant improvement over the stock sway bars. Yes, you have existing sway bars, but they're weak. Thus, the recommended upgrade.
Let's quickly review the install process for your Eibach Sway Bar & Anti-Roll Kit. Pick the front or back of the car to start. Place a block or two behind the tires that will remain on the ground. (just in case) Jack one end of the car up one side at a time and place your jack stands under the front cross-member. (this has always worked for me) Get some light under the car and look for the stock sway bar. Locate the nuts/bolts that hold it in place, and begin to loosen them. You may need an allen wrench and a box wrench in order to remove the existing sway bar. You'll understand this when you see it. Once bolts are removed, go ahead and finagle the bar out from underneath the car. Repeat these steps in reverse in order to get the new sway bar in place. Drop some grease on those bushings. Rinse, lather, repeat for other end of car. Thanks Eibach!
For the average Joe, the two of these upgrades combined provide substantial improvement over the stock equipment. Combine them with the two items in Part I of this series, and you should find your car riding on rails like you were at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
