[woo] indeed...

Welcome... I know you will love it... Make sure to get up some pics tomorrow when you get home with it...

 

[Chucho89]

Welcome. I got a VR6 jetta too and i got to say you are going to fall in love with that engine. Take lots of pics of the car. Looking forward to seeing it.

 

[Dmez]

Well i'm awake now so I can better introduce myself. I however wont be picking up the car till later this afternoon .

My name is Dan and I'm currently a senior in High school. I love cars. I'm very experienced in working with computers and i'm planning on getting a degree in Computer Information Science/Systems or basically in IT.

Sports wise i'm a track athlete at heart but I havn't been able to run the past 2 years due to financial/schedule conflicts.

If you have any questions just ask!

[Dmez]

Welcome welcome...... Nice ride.... what are the plans for it????...... VR6 not my thing.... but a very nice engine........ gas mileage will suck when you start adding the mods to it......... Anyways nice pics, good luck with the vdub...

 

[pyromjm]

how much did u pay for that thing? looks real nice

 

[Dmez]

Plans atm are to just get the visual flaws on the exterior/interior fixed up. Dont have money to really do anything else. Even so it would be a sleeper

Total (tax title reg. etc.) i payed just under 5k.

Here are some more pics:

Im loving it...... the white is a perfect color.. real clean looking.... i'd atleast get some wider tires and wheels.... would really set it off...

quick chop in photoshop

optimized colors overall in the pic
cleaned up some spots on front bumper
lowered
tinted windows
white rims (kinda hard to tell the difference since they are so bright in the original pic)

Hah, that's cool, i'm a Senior in high-school too, and i just picked up my own MK3 Jetta VR6 last week.

Does your gas mileage suck really bad also? i get like 17mpg in the city... Freakin lame

You got a CAI?? So i suppose you don't need me to get you the dimensions of the filter i got myself?? lol, still need the breather though? or did you get one that fits?

and how come your spark plug wires are blue instead of red like mine? which one is stock color? is it bcuz of the different year...

 

[pyromjm]

Mine sucks just as much as yours its terrible.... about as bad as my v8 82 mustang... wtF!??!

 

[Dmez]

actually i noticed it dropped considerably after i added the intake...

I got impatient and took a shot with a filter from autozone.

as for the breather i just ended up payin an extra $5 for a molded radiator hose (1" inner diameter) cut about 4 inches off to fit and thats what u see (the white filter obviously)

Not sure what the stock color is, but looks like these wires def arent stock replacement

White is such a clean color..... Im loving the looks of that VR6 man.. way clean..... My 2.0 hasn't ever been that clean...... but it's a motor.. made to get dirty...

I'm on 160k even and waiting for a 2.0 16V to come along....
