Gex Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Hey All, My name is Ben and this is my 2005 LGT Wagon. Thought I would stay stock. That didn't happen. Car was built in the style of a German estate wagon. Great for cruising and serious when it needs to be. Nothing super over the top. I love it!

coppertone Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hello Ben, my name is also Ben and I really like what you've accomplished with your car. I strived also to make my car functional over looks like all of my prior VW's. It's something about a car that does it all well that will always have a spot in my heart. Enjoy it, and continue to share more photos with us please. : ) 2010 2.5GT limited is for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubyDude555 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Gex after seeing your car in person at WCSS last summer I can honestly say you sir have one of the cleanest wagons around! I hope to see you again this summer if I can make it back for vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grundlepunch Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 nice car man.. so clean. simple, functional mods i dig it. how do you like the spec clutch and lwfw, how does it compare to stock? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Thanks Guys! Subydude I hope to see you again soon! The spec clutch is just ok. The pedal feel is pretty heavy and the flywheel kinda sucks when you live on top of a hill surrounded by other hills with terrible drivers. If you live in a flat area then it'd be great. That's ok though, the car will soon have a Spec B six speed (Or just STI they are much easier to find) and OEM STI clutch so all will be well. Had no real plans for the headlights. Unless it includes a full 08 facelift which in RBP looks awesome. Maybe next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odepaj Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 hurrrnnnngggggg! I'll trade you my spec! Seriously though, I'm gonna have to pick up some Raijins now How do you like the DWS' compared to the Bridgestones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 So far I am liking them in the colder temperatures. The Bridgestones turn into bricks below 40*. But dry pavement and 45+ the Bridgestones are far stickier and have better cornering stability. Raijins will go back on in April and some super sticky rubber will be put on the RPF1's. Sorry for the filthy wagon. Washing this weekend and a proper photo shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benfrancis Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 This is a hot wagon man. I love my RBP sedan. Those gold RPF1s are awesome. I can't decide if I want to do nurburing or rpf1s (black). Anyhow, keep up the killer pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacybt Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 1) I love your car 2) Did you have any fitment issues with the CNT/EWG combo, or did everything bolt right up with the supplied dump tube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
