New Car Want U Guys Help

[paintballrulzs]

OK something happened with my nissan sentra and today my dad bought me an 89 wolfsburg jetta. It is a 4 door, power windorws, control panel in the front to lock the windows and also control each window. It also has a sunroof. Well i have a pioneer DEH-1000 cd player. Now what should i add to it. (ya i am one of those kids) I was thinking front speakers, amp, and subs. My friends r saying ground effects, new rims (o ya it already has rims not nice but rims), and a new muffler. If someone could point me in the right direction and prices that would b cool. Also in NH radar/laser detectors are legal. So i need one because the fastest highway up here is 65. If anyone could help me on one of those. I am not gonna spend 300 dollars for one. I just want one that will detect the cops b4 they detect me. Thanks

You want right direction?

1) intake, muffler, and any breating restrictions
2) bomb sound system... don't skimp... get an equalizer too...
3) custom interior mods for comfort and looks
4) keep the outside hella beater to piss off your riceboy/wheatboy friends...


edit: as you can tell... I hate riceboy style...

I am very bad when it comes to car/car audio. What does everything do?

Change the oil every 3 months or 3K miles whichever comes first. Add a nice stereo, but not an overly expensive one, they attract theives and vandals. Radar detectors won't prevent all speeding tickets, just try your best to keep your eyes open. You get them by being stupid, 55 in a 35, weaving in and out of traffic, that sort of thing. You want to avoid the attention of cops. Young guys in fancy cars playing loud music are going to get their attention.

Foo, for someone who "hates riceboy style" the mods you suggested, scream riceboy. Intake and muffler? Those go on a ricer, right after the go fast stickers...

Make sure that car is sound before you attempt any illegal speeds. The last thing you need is blow-out (tire, engine, transmission ect. ect.) at high speed.

I wouldn't waste money on useless engine "hop ups" (i.e. Hot air intake, fart cannon) and tasteless "body enhancements". Tint the windows, get some decent wheels (if need be), take care of any body work (if need be), and go for a subtle, yet powerful, sound system.

About the same time people stop using the term 'gay' in that manner.

Dude... I hate ricers but I will own import cars most of my life... The only thing that makes a ricer a ricer is the stupid fart mods, ugly body work, and stupid attitude...

would you care to explain why?

If you want a decent radar detector, go with the K40. They are reliable and probably have the best warrantee in the biz. If you get a ticket while using their detector you mail them a copy of your ticket and proof that you paid it and they reimburse you.

If you want an exhaust, DO NOT get one of those lame universal chrome mufflers with those dumb tips. Look into Tectonics or Euro sport exhausts. They both make quality products for VW's and are relatively cheap.

Not many people make body kits for the MkII Golf/Jetta and if they do, most of them look lame as hell. The going trend with those is to buy the 16valve or Euro bumpers, flares and moldings for 90-92 models. It looks pretty sweet IMO.

If you need a place to look for some of this stuff pick up a copy of performance vw or euro tuner both will help you get going in the right direction. Also here are a couple of websites to get your creative juices flowing.

Good luck with it. If you have any questions or need more info please feel free to contact me. I love VW's. I have owned 6 in total since I got my license and all have been heavily modified.

Because IMO, American cars are trash. I was brought up thinking that, both my parents(americans) believe it too, so it's just how i was brought up, and what i was brought up believing.

How so?? Imports tend to be a lot more expensive to purchase and maintain....

The K40 shold be $150-200 buck the last time I recalled. I will look into it today for you.

What are you looking for in a stero? Me and a friend used to own a peformance shop in Plainfield, NH which dealt with aftermarket performance parts and steros. It was called Afer F/X, ever hear of it? I have not dealt with steros since I left to go to shool, but I can try and point you in the right direction. I personally don't like alot of bass and find it REALLY annoying! I prefer the clean hard punch of a 10" sub which can also move alot of air, just sounds cleaner IMO.
