All I heard was "you can't get a sunroof with the plaid seats anymore"

DISCUSSION (29)

That's not bad at all. Plaid seats are a must.

Yeah, but if I was to get one, I'd hate having to give up a sunroof to get the seats :\

Same, I've been eyeing the Focus St, Gti and Wrx.

But I want a sunroof, and I want plaid seats on the Gti. That bugs the shit out of me. Why?

Buy sunroof version and swap in plaid seats later. PROBLEM SOLVED?

That might just work. Where to get the Plaid seats, that's the question.

Without paying up the ass dealer prices.

Just get a normal Convenience w/ Roof model now before they're no more?

That seems to be the only way it'll work. Trust me, it's like the Accord sport/sunroof debacle. I feel your pain.

Yeah, only problem is I can't currently afford a new car. It sucks, next Car is going to be something disposable that can be Quickened.

Mk4. Do it. Such a terrible idea, but so brilliant at the same time. Or something with a 2.7TT.

It's going to be a B5 2.8, B6 3.0, or Bugeye......Wrx.

Anything but the 1.8T. That engine was Shitaki I've heard.

GTI isn't anywhere my shopping list, so I am OK with whatever VW does. 6 wheel drive brown turbo diesel wagon with a 7 gear manual... pass: VW.

You got my hopes up there for a second :(

And the Eagle Eye is much better lookin IMO.

And the 1.8T is fairly unreliable, but it's got monster potential. That's why it was the first thing to come to mind when you said quicken and disposable. lol

In theory, I could take a look at the Integra.

Sure, everything would be a downgrade from my B7, but a family member has already offered to buy it for more than I payed for it (Shhh, don't tell) and that means more funmoney.

The thing that scares me is that my B7 is unreliable enough, and older Audis give me even more worry.

The Integra a downgrade? Don't think so lol

jkm7680 > BugEyedBimmer - back in the Saddle Dakota Leather

In general, a B5, B6 A4. I would consider a slight downgrade. S4, Upgrade.

It depends on how nice the Integra would be. A 4d, Manual with fun stuff would be nice.

A Ricepatty would be Ehhhhh.

The hatchback is so nice to have though. The opening is cavernous. Fit a 6' chest of drawers in mine when I had it. And it's simple, doesn't mean it's ricey or trashy.

jkm7680 > BugEyedBimmer - back in the Saddle Dakota Leather
04/15/2014 at 17:37

Yeah, I like me some Bugeye Integra. I don't find them Ricey or Trashy at all.

Why I'd want a 4d is due to a Not-So-Small dog. Unless the hatch would fit him.

BugEyedBimmer - back in the Saddle Dakota Leather > jkm7680
04/15/2014 at 17:42

Hatch might be a little too sloped for him. In that case, I guess the 4d would be a better decision.

jkm7680 > BugEyedBimmer - back in the Saddle Dakota Leather
04/15/2014 at 17:44

Yeah, I'd say the Sedan. Even though I slightly prefer the looks of the hatch.

Did you have any performance goodies on yours?

BugEyedBimmer - back in the Saddle Dakota Leather > jkm7680
04/15/2014 at 17:52

I had a K&N on mine. No real performance gain. But it did really accentuate the engine noise during VTEC.

Nice. I'll be sure to add it to my list. Just a little more convincing will do me in, Haha.

Honda transmission. What more is there to say? Lol

And they say you can't have it all. Psh.

I don't know about you, but I've only had to replace one thing (a sensor) on my mk4 1.8t in the past 140,000 miles. I think it's a wonderful engine.

jkm7680 > BugEyedBimmer - back in the Saddle Dakota Leather
04/15/2014 at 19:23

That's all I needed.

WANT LISTED. It's there now. Right between the B5 and B6

Haha, Indeed it is.

If I end up with one. I'm blaming you. Not in a bad way though.

People blame me for things all the time. This one I'd actually be happy about lol

Haha, This would be an achievement.

GTIs are such a steal in the US. Option a DSG and you're looking at the thick end of £30k here in Britain.

Muahahaha, for once, it isn't Canada getting the shaft when it comes to pricing packages! Plaid seats and sunroofs for all the canucks!
