#8 of 26 Aftermarket by wakemygame13 May 30, 2007 (8:35 pm)
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 Replies to this message: eldaino (May 31, 2007 9:29 am) booboobunny (Jun 12, 2007 6:02 pm) eldaino (Jun 13, 2007 5:20 am)

Replying to: wakemygame13 (May 30, 2007 8:35 pm) aside from suspesnsion and such there is very little that you can do engine-wise.   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.

Replying to: ftb5445 (Jun 02, 2007 4:38 pm) if you go to vwvortex.com and go to the classified forums, there are a lot of people selling vw rims, off their gti's and such. Ebay is great to go to, as are:   Oempl.us   partsforvws.com

Replying to: wakemygame13 (May 30, 2007 8:35 pm) I just ordered a cold air intake made by Weapon-R, they call it the Secret Weapon Cold Air Intake. According to their website it will fit on all 2005-2007 Jetta and Rabbit 2.5 engines. cost is around $200.00, hopefully it will give about 10 more ponies, they say a lot more..... It should arrive in a week, I will let you know if it's worth the money. Replies to this message: eldaino (Jun 13, 2007 5:20 am)

Replying to: booboobunny (Jun 12, 2007 6:02 pm) well, since you already bought it, i guess theres nothing you can do, but weapon r is known for making cheesy, less than stellar products, hence there claim for more than 10hp.
#15 of 26 Looking for a center arm rest by ivw08 Aug 05, 2007 (4:11 pm)
Just got my '08 2dr Rabbit a week ago, already put on 600 miles. I love this car but there is only one thing I miss that I have in my Jetta. That is an armrest. Does anyone know where I can get one for the Rabbit? Replies to this message: eldaino (Aug 05, 2007 6:46 pm) ivw08 (Aug 06, 2007 3:20 pm) eldaino (Aug 08, 2007 8:40 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: ivw08 (Aug 05, 2007 4:11 pm) hmm..you already have an 08? where does it redline?   if you DO in fact have an 08, there was/is a fairly cheap upgrade/package that included an ipod connecter that features a nice armrest for your bunny.   otherwise, you can fork out 200 bucks and buy one off of tmtuning.com.
