Well I’ve had this car for almost 3 years and have put seemingly endless amounts of work into it. It had a hard life before I came into possession of it, and it went through several owners who never drive it hard or very much because they didn’t want to do the maintaining on it. I drive the car probably close to 40k a year, so that was simply not an option for me!
The very first thing I did was remove the stock engine management and instal megasquirt. Currently running an aeb engine from a 99 passat, t3/t4 57 trim turbo with a semi equal length manifold, 3″dp and full 3″exhaust.
First day of ownership
Got it swapped to ms in a day and a half and drove 140mi home
The car was on 17’s and h&r coilovers when I got it. Being low with low profile tires simply does not do it for me. I put the car back to stock height with stock b3 springs and bilstein tc’s on 16’s with 205-55-16 snow tires on, this was infinitely better in performance in the snow and gravel.
How she sits currently
