yea its rather embarrassing, I’m not gonna lie. I still have a few things to workout, but thats to be expected with any modified car. Thats actually the first time i’ve had serious issues with the car in the year and half that i’ve owned it. However I gotta hand it to the jetta, I’ve driven it HARD (over 200 miles) the past 2 days and its loved every minute of it. a couple pics from the other day. ![http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/9502/pics010if5.jpg](http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/9502/pics010if5.jpg) ![http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/8062/pics001dk7.jpg](http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/8062/pics001dk7.jpg) ![http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/8730/pics012er4.jpg](http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/8730/pics012er4.jpg) the noisemaker ![http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/3979/pics007rp7.jpg](http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/3979/pics007rp7.jpg) ---
