I think I might be letting her go... after 5 years :( lots of pics | « » 2:30 PM 6-23-2008 | |
|
After 5 years and $45k later.. I think i might have to let her go.A little story behind the car.. (2004 Jetta GLS 1.8t 5 speed AWP) I bought it new with 10 miles on it from the dealership when i was 15 years old. put my 12k life savings down on it and financed the rest of the 12k. From that day on it was my baby. Never saw snow, rarely saw rain. It permanently kick my moms saab out of the garage. It was under a cover 60% of the year. Driven for an average of 6500 miles a year. Every $ I put into it was for products that were top of the line. Now with just over 30k on cluster and over $20k in mods.. I think im going to pass her on to someone else. Iv experienced every part of this website and what you guys have to offer. I look back on some of my posts from 2004 and just laugh at my noobness. Shows how much a group of people can teach you. This could be my last pic post on the website so im going to lay some of my better ones down. Thank you guys Ill start with a rough mod list: (im probably leaving out a lot) 300whp (exterior) -19x8.5 & 19x9.5 Axis Pentas -215/35 & 235/35 BFgoodrich KDWII's -badgeless grill -front license plate deleted -notch filled -molded streetone side skirts -emphase rear lip -Gli front lip -fk smoked tails -ecs smoked marker kit -s2000 antenna -retro fitted e46 bi-xenon headlights -35% tint (interior) -Inmetal dash kit -eurospec 3 spoke steering wheel -momo leather shift knob & boot -aluminum pedals -autometer cobalt boost gauge -steering column gauge pod -Audi TT shifter ring (engine) -Garrett gt2871r -ATP intake -ATP turbo manifold -GHL 3in tb exhaust (no cat) -Unitronic BT 630 software -630 seimens injectors -VR6 MAF -Eurojet Race Intercooler -Spec stg3+ clutch -14lb flywheel -peloquin lsd (o2j) -APR r1 dv -HKS BOV -AEM dry flow cone filter -ATP in-tank race fuel pump -B&M ss -Diesel geek ss -Oil catch can -Snow perf. stage 2 w/m kit -Turbo XS mbc -STI new style coilpacks -Spark Plugs (both 1 and 2 ranges colder) -2 brand new axles (suspension) -Koni coilovers (rear down all the way w/ middle perches out) -Neuspeed 28mm RSB -H+R 8mm spacers (rear) -VF Engine mount -VF Transmission mount -ECS powdercoated dogbone





















i apologize a couple of that last few are blurry. *not responsible for any pain your eye balls may incur Update - interior pics

SUCH a sweet car. i remember looking at countless pictures of your ride in inspiration of what to consider doing for mine. itd be a shame to see that 1 go, you certainly did a great job

Ive been with Mike almost all the way on this car, from pretty much stock or where it is now, through thick and thin.....from the nice days cruising to freezing winter long projects in the garage. He has always been anal about not letting it go in the snow, even the rain...changes the oil every couple thousand miles and truely only gets the top of the line products for it. It is honestly one of the nicest jetta's ive ever seen in person, and you can really tell by taking a good look at it. Many of you may say dont sell it becuase of this or that, but you cant hold onto a car forever, and even though this is still his baby, he's giving you guys the chance to let it be yours...you can't go wrong with this car people...take the time to take a look at it, any questions you may have about this car...he'll have the answer to each and every one.

yes. the eurojet race core is hugeee. it hits the inside of the bumper on each of the bottom corners of the core. The car has never been in an accident. if thats what you were thinking. not even a fender bender

Absolutely, one of my favorite Jetta's ever. If you do decide to sell it, make sure the next owner will take good care of it.

sweet car. you said yoru car gets the garage before your moms car does?? i hope you arent living with your folks still! i would hold off on getting an M3 and perhaps think about becoming a big boy and living on your own. if you are now, good job, but if you are not i would seriously reconsider.
