    Default A trip down memory lane

    I figured I would take a trip down memory lane as well and see how my car has progressed over the years. I dont have a lot of pictures from the earlier stages, so this is just a general timeline, there were LOTS of other smaller mods in between all of these. Click here for a full mod list if you are interested

    So lets see here.

    This was the autotrader ad for my car, cloth seats, no CD player, steelies and all:



    My dad and I working on my first mod, an SPP Tip adapter and a MOMO Knob. Check out the wheel gap :icon_eek:



    Did a few mods to the interior/dash:



    Had JonBoy tint the tails, and I debadged the car:



    My VERY first show, SouthernVolksFest 2004. Where I first met some other CB5ers. Steve (Scuba2001) and Dave (Daz69) to name a couple. Here you can see the Kamei grill and eyelids:



    I also ditched the cloth at this point and added some Katzkin 2 Tone leather:



    Here is where the serious mods started picking up. My first set of wheels. 18'' Flik Artics, H&R Sports Springs, and Koni Adjustable shocks:





    One of my first Import shows.



    Finally got a CD Player, and put a boost gauge in the AC Vent:



    A VERY short lived original system setup here:



    A few more mods to the interior, custom pedals, and new gauges:



    Sold the Fliks and moved up to 19s. My TSW Kyalamis:



    Construction picture of the new system setup:



    Fresh from the audio shop:



    My first major stage of body work. Zender front, and painted lowers, euro rub strips, and shaved VW logo:



    S3 Magazine show:



    One of the most known pictures of my car, still one of my favorites:





    Picture of me in my team feature in DUB Magazine:



    Why not ad some TVs, 15.4'' widescreen in the trunk:



    Got rid of the alpine for an Eclipse 7'' Touchscreen, and a new Raid steering wheel:



    Sold the TSWs for a set of staggered 19'' Mandrus Emils:







    And now for the current state. Major bodywork phase 2. RS Side skirts, Votex rear valance, Wetworks lip spoiler, and a Rieger rear windshield diffuser.







    The car is not finished yet, but it is definitely getting closer to my original vision. Still a lot in the works though :thumbup:

    Thats all for now

    nice clean car...it is so rare to see someone hang on to a car for more then a few years and keep modding...I got bored with my old car just like alot of my past cars and changed to a newer car a year ago...I average about 2 years or less on my project cars...I liked your old rims too...

    I can't pick wheels overnight, esp. for a passat. If it was a gti id tell you in a second.

    I just meant style wise...since you hate mesh for my car, and you hate the monoblock style? Just wondering what you think would look good? Simple 5 or 6 spoke? No hard feelings, just curiosity, im always open for constructive criticism.

    Nah I have no problem with mesh, but I wouldn't have done TSW or Flik, I would have done Autoart, Spyn, or something along those lines. As for monoblocks, its really popular now among vw/audi people but I just dont like it.

    Autoart is a newer company and are all 3 piece wheels, Spyn is just cheap stuff that honestly looks like everything else out there. I know the Fliks were cheap wheels. They were my first set, I bought them when I was still 15 so I didnt have a lot of money, so at $150/ea on sale they were about all I could afford. The TSWs were an impulse buy more than anything, I got an amazing deal on them used (for only 200 miles though).

    Im thinking about selling the Mandrus and doing something else for next season, just not sure what yet. Im still stuck on the monoblock style though...

    5x112 sorry...I wish the Passat had 5x100, MKIV guys always have sick wheels for sale.

    I wish I had a 5 speed too...if I ever decide to go BT, ill consider a tranny swap at that point, but who knows.
