Oh, and if the interior of your bug smells like crayons, switch out the seats. Thats what makes that smell - and believe me that is the only way to get rid of it.

EDIT:
Forgot to mention one thing should you ever want it to be faster. Unless your 2.0 is different from mine, you should be able to turbocharge it for around $500. The turbo diesel manifold, turbo, oilpan, and oil lines all bolt up to the 2.0 aba head. This isn't the Mk3+ TDI stuff, I'm talking about the mk1 and mk2 parts. Just get that, some G60 injectors, and some tuning and hello 200fwhp.
hmm... i'll look into that, but i may just do a Nudespeed SC... the car right now is 2700lbs curb weight, if i can drop it down the SC will do fine, i'm not looking to build some huge drag motor (2L is the wrong motor for that) just a fun little DD... i may not keep it anyway... i'm buying my wife a new car this year A4 so i may keep her Jetta or this for a DD. we will see.

ya here are the wheels; i'm thinking of painted them gold/bronze
