99.5 2.0l 8v Jetta Build from stock to static

[Kjheidlebaugh]

I first bought the car in July of 2010. Then it was completely stock except for the spray painted VR wheels. Then it had 135,0000 miles and didnt know much about cars and i drove it like this for a year:



over the course of that year i had bought a AEM cold air intake and had the windows tinted:


In the spring of 2011 i bought raceland coils and slammed my little 2.slow:


and i bought my pride and joy:

Drove it untill the end of last year and thats when i decided to start doing some work to the engine.
I got rid of the vr wheels and bought 35th anniversary corvette wheels.
Wheels being refinished:

Dim: 17x 9.5
Adapters: 30mm all around 5x100 converted to 5x120
Spacers: Front 10mm ECS Tuning, Rear NONE
Rubber: Falken 512 215/45/R17





And added a Raceland strut bar:

It was my daily up untill this fall and i put roughly 30,000miles on it.
