Jetta

i was just wondering if you still have your old seats and carpet, if so what condition are they in, as i could do with some clean seats for my jetta.

Cheers joe

Lance...seats are in pretty good nick and would prob look good if they had a good clean...carpet is pretty screwed.

Tyres ordered today Traction here i come

2ltr bottom end

the steels...in theory the 8j's are sold but as he isn't replying to my texts i may just use them/put them back up for sale.

you'll have to spend ALOT of time in the burnout box getting them up to temp

I hope they work well for you:D

Nope toyos dude...was gping to try to equal your burnouts you did in the audi!! I am really hoping they work too

just remember to turn off your fan first or you'll never see the staging lights

Chris bray ran some similar kind of slicks on his, he didn't think they knocked down his 60ft much if at all, but they did make his launches much more consistent. I think his 60fts were pretty good anyway so he was always going struggle to get much more from them.

Will try to remember that my launches are poor...so fingers crossed they will help

lol! Cheers dude...i can't help but have a bit of leopard print in the Jetta The plain metal on it's own was a bit much and would have caught the sun a treat!





or this one

Was talking with Paul at Tinkler's last week about what we could do with the Jetta and what sort of mods we could do.

We both agreed that what we wanted to do was take this version of the engine as far as it can go...hence the 2 ltr bottom end with some mods...cam etc...Then once we have built it up nice and strong the Nos will help it reach it's full potential

I have come round to the kind of old skool tuning on the Jetta...I have a lot of respect for anyone who can put in a higher power engine to start off with like a G60/20vt/R32 (Jacobs R32 install is frickin awesome!) But we started off with a good strong old skool engine. I could go out and blow £1500-2000 on a G60 engine...but a massive part of me wants to spend that money on the engine i have now (now if this was edition 38 there would be people saying "don't bother with spending money on the 8v...drop in a 16v or a g60...but they can all kiss my ass) You have seen the difference some tuning can make to it and the power delivery is real nice. So once we have all the other bits done to this engine NOS seems like a good progression I'm looking forward to the point either later next year or the start of the following year when i have a prinout from the rolling road with over 200 bhp

Got it already dude...was blown away by the write up in it Was a shock to flick through the mag in Smith's on Saturday and find that!!

How do you like them apples??

Haha awesome

Kind of came to a decision last night...i want to take the Jetta off the road over the winter and tidy up the body work....but while i am doing that it seems a shame not to paint it...

Give me some suggestions for colours Preferably not metallic as i couldn't rattle can that

Am very tempted with white.

nooooooo dont do it, it looks awesome as it is dude
