Dubfest-148
I was pretty excited to attend Dubfest because it was going to be my first ever strictly Euro car based event. I'm not talking about only one specific brand but opened to every Euro make and model. Starting since 1999, Dubfest was and still is one of the events many Euro car owners mark as a priority to attend because of its event location and side activities that go along with the car show, such as Drag racing. There were tons of Euros and sponsors/vendors that made this event enjoyable to cover. Once in awhile, it's good for me to get out of the JDM scene and see how Euro owners mod their cars.
Just in case if you haven't read our 'About us' section or 'Info' section in our fanpage, I personally consider Euro cars as Imports because technically, they are 'imported' to the states, hence why I categorize Japan and European cars as Imports. I know both communities want to separate themselves, but I'm all about thinking positively and want every car enthusiast to become a family.

When we think of VW's, there are two modifications that come in mind; low offset wheels and air ride. Accomplishing those two finalizes the look of many VW's and many have been featured on magazines and blogs. There was one, however, continuously coming out with new looks and I was fortunate to find that specific VW to be exclusively featured on our site today. If you had a difficult time understanding the phrase 'attention to detail', this car will not only show you but will define it.

Let's start off with how much fame the car owner already has in the UK. A few years ago, his Pug 106 was in the 'Best of British' edition of the well known UK magazine Max Power. Yes, you didn't misread what I just wrote or neither did I make a mistake with the information provided by our supporter Fast-N-Modded.
Once again, the owner steps out from the shadow with another sexy car.
Here it is, Jay Polson's Red VW Golf.

White Golf on White BBS

July 29, 2010

Browsing through the VWVortex forums, I came across a clean, sick looking White 03' Golf. The owner is Chris, also known as G-magoo. I usually check the classified section because most of the Golf owners sell some sick a$$ rims and saw Chris selling his customized BBS's. Unfortunately, Chris is selling his car so no more upgrades I guess :(
BUT! I want to show Chris's ride to the stance fans out there. It's not a suprise to see this car being featured on Canibeat or other sites because it is definitely worth a coverage.
Hope this car goes to a great owner.

To help Chris sell his car, and not sure if he already did, but here is the list of mods that I directly copied from the forums:

Motor : ‘04 GLI 1.8t swap (94K on motor and chassis, swap was done 4k ago!!) w/ new water pump/timing belt, plugs and coil packs, serp. belt, every gasket but the head gasket. The motor has a GIAC X+ chip, 3in stainless steel TBE, neuspeed CAI and forge DV. Pulls very strong.

Trans : 2.0 5-spd, which has a shorter final drive than normal GTI transmissions, has a new lightened G60 flywheel and VR6 clutch ( all of these items makes this much quicker than your average chipped GTI)

Wheels : BBS RS, the fronts are 17x9 et27 w/ 205/45 falken 512’s (pictured with 10mm spacers making the final et17), the rears are 17x10.5 et24 w/ 225/45 falken 512’s. The lips are 1.5 up front and 2.5’s in the rear, gold bolts, red and gold centercaps with polished half caps (hexcaps).

Exterior : Helix OEM projector replica headlights w/ 6K HID’s, Rear euro bumper, and polished stubbie antenna, nothing too special. The exterior is not perfect mind you, the paint on the passenger side rear fender is a little brunt/chipped from the rear tire rubbing, it has dings and dents; this is my daily so don’t expect a show car. Not sure if I wasn’t to sell the roof rack with the car, you’ll have to make it worth it for me
