Here is a shot of my car. GLI rear spoiler, powdercoated BBS wheels, red side mirrors, tinted windows, yellow inner lights, new windshield, GTI fogs, single wiper. Coming soon: a new paint job for my 40th B-day.
Shot from the rear.
Close up. Stock tail lights which I smoked. New exhaust tip installed when I replaced the muffler.
Interior: Pioneer head unit with XM Satellite Radio. MOMO Club 4 wheel, shift knob and boot. Full Recaro interior w/door panels. 220 KPH Euro instrument cluster.
Here is a shot of the Cabriolet style VDO gauges I put into the center console.
This is my license plate. Too much? :)
Engine bay: 1.8 liter finally imploded at 350K. Rebuilt a 2.0 liter ABA bottom end and rebuilt a cylinder head which kept the Digifant fuel and intake system. ABD strut bar. Bomz cone filter intake. Techtonics 268 camshaft. GLI dual-outlet exhaust manifold w/downpipe. Grounding Wires. Rebuilt the shifter with new linkages and bushings. Originally an automatic, I transplanted a brand new 020 MK3 5-speed.
Powdercoated BBS RA wheels with 205/50HR15 Goodyear Eagle GT-HR tires and freshly painted calipers. Upgraded the 9.1" front brakes to the 10.1" style and then now the 11" Corrado style with Girling 54 calipers.
Here is a shot of an Air/Fuel gauge I got from a guy off VWVortex. It is hard-wired to the oxygen sensor connection and it shows the system scanning the mixture when the car is running. COOL!!!
Rear drum to disc conversion using Mk 4 aluminum calipers.
Got a deal on this 4 point Neuspeed rear upper sway bar assembly. It looks really cool and it tightens up the rear suspension.
I bought a shelf and put it in my garage for the trophies from various car shows I have attended over the years. Some are for my prior VW, an '85 Cabriolet and the rest are for this one. Proud? Poser? Maybe a little of both. ;)
Color: Tornado Red
ICE: Pioneer AM/FM/CD/MP3 head unit with XM Satellite Radio
Suspension: APEX
Thanks for looking.
