Dahlback MissingIn a battle between Euros and ricers, as in your Time Attack issue (2/05), I noticed the guys from Dahlback Racing were nowhere to be seen. I can't help but wonder what the results would have been if their widebody 900hp Audi-powered GTI was there to show up all those Super Street kids. I'd like to think it would've kicked some major ass and taken names in the process, but unfortunately for now, all we can do is wonder and hope that next year our Euro boys go on a hefty diet and are ready to dominate these ricers at their own game!Fraser SchmidtEmail
Sadly, Hans Dahlback's Golf RSI returned with him to Sweden, otherwise we'd have definitely invited it to participate.
Start YoungI've been subscribing to your magazine a little over a year and I love it. I read it cover to cover until I get the next one. I'm 17 and am looking to get a first car. And what better to drive than a Volkswagen? My family has always been big on VWs. My dad's owned a Rabbit and a GTI, my mom had a Scirocco, my Grandpa drives an '89 Golf, and I'm looking to buy a Jetta or GTI. I love Euros and love to read about them in eurotuner.Justin SearaEmail
Orange PeelI've never felt compelled to write to eurotuner about a feature car until now. I first saw the H-Sport Mk4 Golf (3/05 issue) at the SoCal GTG in Anaheim and found myself wiping slobber off my chin - not due to any bling factor or because it was tuned beyond my comprehension and budget. This car is just flat out tight. A car that begs you to drive it. If this car were in my garage, I'd get no sleep. It would be calling me at 3am saying, "Drive me. Drive me hard. The air is so nice and cool out, and my intercooler would love to feast on it. My tires and fat rear sway bar can hold the canyon curves like a grabby 16-year-old on his first date."
OK, wake up. This car really is an inspiration for me. My Jetta aspires to be like this Golf. Good feature and good work, H-Sport.T-BoneLos Angeles, CA
Interesting letter - both inspirational and disturbing at the same time.
Seeing DoubleIs that the same girl pictured in the middle of p85 and the top of p91 (2/05 issue)? How much did you pay her to show up at those events and pose for your mag?TJ EdminsterEmail
Yes, it's the same girl and she insisted on appearing. We couldn't have stopped her if we'd tried. Which we didn't.
Where's the M?I just wanted to say I love this magazine. I've been reading it since it was Max Power. I have a BMW M Roadster and would like to see a feature on one, or even on the M Coupe. Nobody really gives these cars any love, and they are really nice, pretty, fast cars. I know there are only a few of them out there, but a feature on one, or at least a couple pics, would be cool.Brian StandishEmail
Once again, we'll feature one as soon as we find a good example. And there must be some out there
CamberI am a do-it-yourself guy who can't find a place with a camber kit for my '03 GTI. Where can I get a basic one? It doesn't need to be fully adjustable. I just want to pimp my ride without the cameras and the rappers. Also, I've heard I have to change the sway bar when dropping the front. Is there any way around this? One more thing, new school or old school, as long as its Euro it's just fine with me.Frank MadridEmail
Since your email you'll have read the 3/05 issue with a test of the latest Hotchkis Mk4 Golf suspension parts, including camber plates and sway bars, with an explanation of what they do and tests showing how they work, right?
Give Us a BreakI'm writing because of your "Old Skool" issue. To me, old-school cars are at least from the '70s, if not from the '60s or '50s. Don't tell me that having three out of five cars from '85 up is considered old school. My friend has a '75 BMW 2002. Now that is old school. My wife's '87 325is isn't. E21s are iffy, but I'll let you have that.
