RE: Report on recent mods/purchases (Suspension, Brakes, K&N)

["Ng, Kevin (NationsCredit)" <kevin.ng@nationscredit.com>]

Speaking up mods, the GTI list has recently set up a "group purchase" site,
making the purchase of popular mods a lot cheaper. Just a few days ago they
negotiated a group purchase of Projektzwo dual headlights for $389 ea.
(normally $540). I got in for the Whipple motor mount ($55), and currently
they're working on deals for the Shine suspension package, Supersprint
exhaust, euro switch, Bentley manual, and I think the AWE short shifter.
Check out this site for full listing:

If you want to participate I *think* you have to be a member of the GTI list
(For info on: how to subscribe & unsubscribe see:
http://www.panix.com/~aqn/GTI_VR6/gti_vr6_list/        [user:driver /
passwd:hired]). Or email Fiorentino Iantosca (mailto:tiantosc@atria.com) for
details and to find out who is in charge of each type of mod purchase. The
more people we get, the cheaper the mods, so check it out!
