Mk3vr97's Jetta Project

[Mk3vr97]

I just got a Mk3 vr a couple months ago. I also have a 2.0 jetta so this will make this my second jetta. I am the second owner of it and the previous owner kept it in great condition. I even have the purchase original documents from 97'. It has common wear and tear but its not bad. Im happy i don't have to worry about the paint, well for now at least. Sorry for some of the crappy pics

--Today i test fitted some stock 17" bbs i got at Show n' Go so here is a pic ill throw in--

Nice. The more I see cars like that, the more I wish I held out for a VR... oh well, that's what they invented the future for.

[GTIkid92]

Car looks really clean, nice start

[1337cshacker]

dem look like my wheels almost awesome. How low u goin?

[Mk3vr97]

what did you lower it on?

i lowered it on the Racelands which ride fine to me i know alot of ppl complain about them but im glad it doesn't feel like my 2.0 with a blown suspension. Im satisfied with them; for 3&change their not bad

dem look like my wheels almost awesome. How low u goin?

Yea i picked them up from show n' go. I think they are the exact same stock obd1 bbs wheels for the glx b/c i analyzed them and they look the same but instead of them being a 15'' they're 17'' so i had to get them. Im not going too low i mean its nyc lol (worst roads on the planet i think) but its about 3'' in the front and 4'' in the back i haven't adjusted them to my set height yet

[KatzPajamaz]

Looks nice mannn, thats the same exact model i got

[nich.j.anderson]

The interior is really nice dude. Same with the paint, and glass. Three things I'm jealous of. High five for cheap coil overs

So i know it has been a while. Alot has happened smh. So my tranny starts popping out of 5th and making a noise as if there is something rattling in there. I knew it was something internal so I went a bought another one.

New Tranny

Old Tranny

[theMenace]

[Brimjolt]

i like the wheels. Get spacers and lower the rear.

[Mk3vr97]

i got 8mm spacers in the back and i lowered it a lil but i want some bigger spacers tho





and i painted the engine cover since i was bored. Its ****ty pic tho

[Mk3vr97]

Its been a while guys i know been really busy. But I've done a couple of miscellaneous things with her. I've been saving to do a 24v build which I'm excited for in the near future. We'll see how it goes

-Got a badgeless grill from h20

Nice looking car. Paint looks damn near perfect, as well as your interior. Those 17's look really good on there and I'm not usually a fan of 17's and mk3s. Well done sir
