    Default Time to move on :(

    As some of you on here might know I used to drive an '02 VW GTI 1.8t.. (pictured below). I put over $10k into her and 2 weeks prior I had an oem r32 bumper put on and was loving the new look. But...


    New Front






    Late last month a mini van destroyed my beloved car... as seen in the picture below. (Her fault, 79yo lady of course )






    But from this I have come to love a new car.. a '99 VW GTI VR6. So far I've repaired minor mechanical issues and now I will start to make her over. Its currently got neuspeed exhaust and plug wires, FK 60/40 cup kit, and an unknown chip. Im actually liking the NA vr6 motor more than my turbo in the last car. And the sound is amazing (if you've heard a vr6 you'd know). I just sold the BBS's so new wheels soon and a new jetta front (and hood) will be on soon. Hope she will turn out as good as my last. Enjoy

















    ^RIP^

    All good things must end man. Truly sorry as I have spent many days around this car. Get crackin' on the new gti, but not too fast because I am finally in the lead.

    Love these man. I was super close to pulling the trigger on one with a eurospec motor still in the box, 268 cam with big valve option for 3k.

    Judging by your work on the last gti, this one will be one to remember as well. reps to get you started

    VR6s do sound nasty, but that exhaust looks horrible.
