Hey all! Great site! Found you in the JettaMKV.com site (thanks to Reaver )

He said he needed more MKV's so thought i would post up! I am sure loving the MKV 2.5 so far. Great sound with the Evoair Short ram!

Enjoy all!

I posted a bit more in the members cars section

hey and finally, the first.......right!?

welcome mate. very nice motor. is the 2.5 the highest spec? or will there be a R32 version or a R35? only heard the R35 to be a rumour tho.

those rear lights look a bit different to what i have seen before any more pics?

would love a mk5 right now, my car is far too cold for winter lol

The 2.5 is only rated at 150hp stock, although the 08's came out claiming 170hp, with very few changes. I believe the GTI 2.0 is still 200hp stock, so they tend to win. The R32 is still a 3.2L VR6 250hp, 6-cylinder Engine, AWD!!! that rocks the world, but only available in DSG trans and still over 32k US.

There is currently a turbo in the works for this motor, we are all waiting to see what numbers it can put down, but hopefilly close to 230-240hp with it/ intake/ exhaust and perhaps some lightened flywheels. well see (EDIT- He just made 400 HP )


I posted more pics in the members ride section. The OEM silvertails are the least prefered here in america it seems, everyone wants the euro tails with vag-comm changes to Amber mode. They are sweet, I will change one day, but I do still have the stock tails, and may smoke them just to have an option.

I also added a short video of our club in the video section. Take a look when you can!

Thanks for the kind words!

32k feck me that's cheap!!!! That's under 16k in sterling!!! That would buy you a 1.6 Jetta in the UK

I so wanna live in the states

Quick pics of a Fall cruise we did in Virginia All Vortex members. Good times!

Well i dont remember a V5 2.5, but iv'e only been around the old air cooled 72-74 bug's, and now this MK5, so i missed all the MK's 1-4, and dont know much. But i do know, this is an all new motor. The new 2.5 inline engine started here in the states with the 2005.5 models and is still current.

Glad you like the shots!

we could do something similar if we cruzed to scotland in good weather, some of the scenery there is awesome

glen coe has some of the most spectacular scenery in the uk but its a bit of a drive for you southerners
