So here it is, my baby. It is a 1990 Passat GL. The car currently has 120xxx km on it, and is running great. I have not done much in the way of mod's so far, tho i do have some plans in the near future.

Interior:
Heated seats, AC and a very advanced MFA are all stock for this car, along with a lot of other luxury features. The MFA displays Oil temp, Outside Air temp, Fuel Consumption rate, Average trip speed, trip time, trip distance, Fuel counsumption history, trip time history, and total distance covered.

The heated seats are the only reason i dont have recaros in by now, tho they do not have much upper body support, they are something to look forward to every single cold winter morning. The rear does have this feature, but i do plan on adding it to the back soon, for now all they can do is recline back there ;)

Currently the AC is dead, and i plan on removing the 60 lbs of dead weight from the car, along with the power-stealing belt and pump.

The stock stereo was in terrible shape, so i removed it, replacing it with a Pioneer deck , and an infinitiy speaker setup. The dash speakers were removed in the process. Other than that I havent done many interior mods to the car, and really have no intention of doing so. The only thing changed are the door light bulbs, which were replaced with blue LED's.

Exterior:
- Sold the stock wheels, put on 16x7 Mille Miglia Evo5's
- Tinted Tail lights

Engine:
Basicly, all i have done in the way of engine mods, is chop the airbox, by far the best thing i have done to it since i got it... anywhere above 3000RPM the car now has a very throaty growel to it, very close to a VR6. It turns a lot of heads as is, but i plan on removing the middle muffler, making it once again , a lot louder... "if its too loud, you're too old"
