| I'm seriously thinking about buying a Rabbit in about a months time and also thinking about some accessories such as the i-Pod adapter, the base carrier bars and bike attachment. What Volkswagen accessories do you have? Do you think it's better to get them from Volkswagen or get them 3rd party? | |

Some dealers have websites,(ill post em up, i think one is 1stvwparts.com and they offer things at a discount. You can also check out vwdrivergear.com.), and they will give you the same accessories but at a little bit of a discount. (got my monster mats for 80 bucks after shipping and handling, vw wanted over 100 for em!) mtx tuning is another good website. |

| Since we don't have a general discussion for accessories and modifications for the Rabbit, I'll rename this one and we can use this as the start of one. | |

Has anyone found any sort of aftermarket performance upgrades for the 2007 Rabbit? I love it but I'd really like to be able to get a few more ponies

Replying to: wakemygame13 (May 30, 2007 8:35 pm) Nuespeed actually built a turbo kit for it, but i've only seen it on an exclusive show car called the thunder bunny; it made 225hp to the wheels and it was only a stage 1 turbo, tuned realatively low. (that means the engine is probably producing around 245 horsies.) You could contact them and ask if they would undertake such a task for the average joe, so who knows? Vw themselves is re-tuning the engine for 2008, and very good sources have told me that this is actually an upgrade that can be arranged for pre-08 ; its an updated ecu and new intake manifold. It will give your bunny 7lbs more of torque, and 20 more horsepower. (redline increases to a still kinda crappy 6300rpms.) It essentially become the most powerful car in its class. I dunno how much the dealer will charge though. The old 2.0 engine in the previous generation golf/jetta/beetle, only made 115hp and i know they eveuntually (the aftermarket that is) released a chip for it, so i don't think the 2.5 is out of the question. ITs just a matter of waiting. |
