time to step up the game. get some 15inch corrado steelies and some good tires on it… a little heat to what you have maybe. i know mk2 vr’s love to spin.ghetto rig a tach and use double side tape to mount it for the track until you can learn where abouts you are… get a cheapie sunpro, youve got the distributor motor too sound getting the signal is easy. ---

i wouldnt pull the flares off! you might find something you dont like to see. those cars you posted are westcoast, and BC cars… no rust buckets up there… finding jetta euro rear bumper is tough as well… its a certain style to pull off… big bumpers and flares go well with the 1 piece glass doors… euro bumps, none or 1/4 flares go great with the 2 piece glass and door mounted mirrors… as fars as not seeing anything with the 7inch rounds, were they relayed? and if they were you should run a bulb for the relays. heres a link to the 80/100 bulbs [http://www.rallylights.com/hella/H4.asp](http://www.rallylights.com/hella/H4.asp) ---
