New '02 DSG Owner!

gasxtreme · 09-11-2008, 04:54 PM

Hi,

I'm a long time lurker/occasional poster, however now that I finally have an HD, I'll hopefully have a bit more to talk about

Anyhow, I just bought my truck in mid August, and thus far its been a blast to drive! I've had it for a few weeks, but its been having some work done on it since I got it (viper alarm, DVD/NAV head unit installation, window tint), so I didn't get a chance to get it washed and get some pictures until this week

Without some further ado, here they are.....

Welcome aboard and looks like its too late to hide the wallet, the mod bug hit him already. What nav unit did you go with?

Haha, ya exactly

I went with the Pioneer AVIC-F900BT. So far its been the only complaint I have with it is that it takes a little bit of time to boot up (Reminds me more of a computer than a car audio device, haha)

Welcome, another local boy. I also recently bought my truck (June) and it is also an 02. get ready to invest, I think I have spent about 6K so far in a few months.

No, probably not... To be honest I like it better w/o them, so I'll probably leave it as is.

haha, we shall see

To be honest, I'd like to keep it stock for the most part, although I might put a K&N intake on, but beyond that I'm not too sure what I am comfortable with doing :-/

Ya, so far I have dropped about $1600 into the head unit, alarm, and tint so I don't suppose that is too bad, but I think the next thing on the agenda is a tonneau cover. I think before I have that done I am going to try to recoup some money though

Are there any good local HD or HD friendly clubs?

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Welcome and don't be affraid of modding a little. Take a ride with a lightly modded truck and it would change your mind. LOL.
Nice pics and truck.

Harley#356 · 09-12-2008, 09:16 AM

lol yep the more you're on the boards, the more familiar you become with the mods guys run, and the more pics/how-to threads you see, the more comfortable you become with ripping into the truck. I originally wanted to keep my 00 HD bone stock.....we all see where that lead to.....

and thats motor combo #3....been LOTS of other mods on and off the truck in the past 8 years
