Finally got my suspension on…whether I did it all right or not is still debatable since it was a first for me 😛

I haven’t had a chance to get her up on a lift at work and make sure nothing rubbing or fucked up underneath, nor have I gotten to clean her up for some real pics so that’ll be on the way sometime…

Yeah all you need now is some clay bar, polish, and wax! It looks good. I love those jettas…still thinking of getting one if I find one.

Sits nice Jon. At least you learned some more about the car by doing the work yourself.

Yeah gonna have a good cleaning when I get a free weekend!  
I got myself some liquid claybar from last year, expensive fuckin wax that I love and polish waiting for her!

I did learn a bit about it by doing it myself, as I do with everything I’ve done to it so far!

Thanks for the compliments though!

Thanks! Yeah I was gonna get a VR6 but I like my 2.0 even tho it’s kinda slow, it’s still fun!

Next adventure is getting rid of the beat shifter that comes in these things…

what kit did you put on? The best mod to that car imo is a nice 28mm rear sway bar. Really makes the car fun to drive!

Well now we found a problem that needs solving before anything else!  
2 of my wheels have 2 broken spokes on them, so heres the real quest, what kind to get now, and what style?!?!  
Final part to that is I want to stay 17" so I dont need new tires, and I don’t want to spend too much since I’m a poor college kid…

And to Sonny, I have no idea I haven’t dared to try yet!
