That looks boss man! Do you have a closeup of the fender/tire? I'm still debating 165/45/15 and 165/50/15 on a 15x8. For now I'm gonna run them on a small bumper/no flares Jetta for a bit then when my swap is done they'll go on my big bumper/8v flares Jetta. The 175/55s that came with my wheels are getting destroyed by the fender

Front passenger side brakes started grinding yesterday, today I put new rotors and pads.
Passenger side inner brake pad had no brake compound on it at all,
driver side pads had the brake compound crumbled to pieces when I took the pads off.

I have a question and it would be stupid to make a thread about it and i tried searching.
I have an 86 jetta GL. Came with 13"s with 175/70s. I am going to get BBS RAs, 195, 50 r15s. I figure this will change my speedo a bit, how can i get it back to being accurate? or is it not going to make a difference?

See how much of a difference there will be: Wheel/tire size comparing calculator (in the middle of the page)

Decided that mother nature is probably trying her hardest to force me away from using CIS in my 16v swap since I can't find the harness that I need after searching since Wednesday with no luck. Now I have to buy a fuel rail and a chip, with barely any money.
Blah blah, long story short I really need a 16v fuel rail with fpr holder, and I need it now. If anyone has one, please message me immediately. I will take it right now.

today i took the tranny out and ended up pulling the motor and started shaving the bay.... amazing how it always ends up being way more work than i wanted to do and 95 % of the time its personal preferance not mechanical...

Tested out the gottireps on the mk2.
Looks like I will need more than 20mm to make it poke a bit more. Also the front won't go lower since the wheel will hit the coilovers spring. The rear is all the way down :-/, I actually like how the fk's ride.
