Miss the power, but like the comfort and hassle free of not changing gears
Gotta say the groupm looks like the ****. Definitely high on the mod list. Might be my first mod since it doesnt take on any warranty issues, it's a no brainer. Then an exhaust. Then a tune maybe. But I'm doing the tune last.
Yeah - the GruppeM is awesome. The only problem is the price... considering the complaints against some of the Australian aftermarket part prices, not many people decide to go and spend 50% extra than THAT to go get the GruppeM...
need to go lower.Quote:

Well I am going from the opposite end of the spectrum, a very comfortable low powered AWD which I love but crave some performance and german engineering.. I figured the Sylvia was your pride and joy and giving it up for something not so attention grabbing might have been a big changeQuote:

If your ok with spending $600, I cant see $810 killing you.
I think the extra 50% your referring to applies in the US where the APR intake is only $267US at the moment (as per APR website).
Am I alone in thinking this? Which intake do you like?
Aah... GruppeM is coming down in price, unless you've forgotten to add the shipping from Japan. The last person I know to get one spent about AUD$965 by the time it was landed.
(APR is already in Australia and with local dealerships in each state, so no shipping).
i love the GruppeM intake, i'd consider spending the $1000
but when i see it in the MKVI engine bay, it looks like it doesn't fit correctly...
there's a 1inch gap between the top edge, and the headlight bracket.
Is this because Gruppe M used the MKV design to cut costs, or is this an intentional gap?
