Here is what it used to look like.

**AKdub914** · 02-12-2011 10:18 AM

U raised it up n put chunkier tires on?

**2tnicrbbt** · 02-12-2011 10:19 AM

are u parting the car or is this a winter set-up?

**TeamZleep** · 02-12-2011 10:23 AM

Wow... I'm over 4 inches lowered from stock... and I'm still not low.

**mldouthi** · 02-12-2011 10:56 AM

I had K-sports on the car, and couldnt even drive down gravel roads for rock climbing so I decided to go the other direction with it. The car is lifted 1in from stock. I made strut spacers for the front and used some jeep spring spacers in the back. For the time being I have the stock steelies with 215/70/15 tires. So in total the car is lifted 6 inches from when I had coilovers.

I am working on a light bar/brush guard looking thing that I am mounting 4 hella 500 lights to. Those are the pictures coming later.

Future plans are making fender flares and some steelies with less offset and wider.

ha yeah this will be pretty cool.

**AlexsVR6** · 02-12-2011 12:46 PM

At least you got rid of those wheels.

**mldouthi** · 02-12-2011 01:54 PM

Waiting for plastic dip to dry on the light bar.

Im having trouble finding where there is a hole in the firewall to get the wiring through. Any help would be appreciated.

**RedRumGTI** · 02-12-2011 02:23 PM

I want to see this, should put some mud flaps on it too

**KyleCrish** · 02-12-2011 02:26 PM

im actually excited to see this

you definitely need some rally mudflaps.

**mldouthi** · 02-12-2011 02:56 PM

That is actually on the list. We have a cnc table at work that I was going to try to cut some VW emblems in them.

Light bar mounted. Still trying to figure out the wiring.

To bad its not like my old truck. Rubber grommet right by the gas pedal. haha.

**mldouthi** · 02-12-2011 03:02 PM

Better pictures with a clean car will come later.

**AlexsVR6** · 02-12-2011 03:04 PM

Looks pointless to me to have those lights on the front, but it is your car. I would probably laugh as well if I saw this rolling.

And where do you put fog lights on your car? I guess all those rally guys are doing it wrong as well.

**VeeeDubn** · 02-12-2011 04:17 PM

haha that is awesome!

**TeamZleep** · 02-12-2011 06:40 PM

On the honesty boat, I LOVE IT! Need a few more things to make it really pop off, but I like where you're going with this.

**PGJettaFTW** · 02-12-2011 06:51 PM

two thumbs up from this guy!

**ABAcabby** · 02-12-2011 07:12 PM

Looks sweet.

What kind of gas mileage are you getting with all that stuff on it now though?

**TeamZleep** · 02-12-2011 07:48 PM

I seriously don't know why... But the more I look at this, the more I wanna do it... Call me crazy, but it'd be badass to drive the turbo'ed rabbit EVERYWHERE. Off road rally like a mofo!

**crack monkey** · 02-12-2011 08:09 PM

dude pull some more stuff on the golf country for influence.

i was actually thinking of something similar with my jetta.... mainly because of my bad knees and back.. be easier to get out of.

looks good man keep it up

**Ozzker** · 02-12-2011 08:14 PM

I .... really really like it!!

Great Work!! In for more progress!!

**dehkiddneto** · 02-12-2011 08:16 PM
