Default Our new Turbo S

Went searching for a car that my 16 and 17 year old daughters would love and got more than we bargained for. Here is our new 03 Turbo S.

If it were mine only it would be getting a lot of go fast goodies but need to keep it on the slightly slower side for now.

Thanks!

This is actually their second car. First was a beater 95 civic coupe. They drove it well without accidents for a year but then the engine blew (actually the head gasket) and they were rewarded with this.

I know of a black 2.0 for sale.... you could swap it in and they would never know the difference! Then you could put all the fast goodies in that you want! hehehe

or a blue convertible for sale too....

But fantastic find!

Hey Design, I merged the new thread in the photo forum, to this one. This is your cars "photo album". When you have new pics, put them here, and not in a new thread. This way, everything is all in one place!


Love that S! I miss my two!

thanks Picknicker. Unfortunately I can't go any lower as it already drags on my driveway unless I am really careful. Previous owner had the same issue based on the scrapped up edge of the front bumper.

Has the timing belt and water pump been changed yet? This is number one for maintenance on a VW engine. If it has not been done yet, do it soon. Hope they let Dad take it for a spin once in a while.
