very nice car! exhaust sounds good, I like all the mods!
Vr noises :tup:
We have tuned 2 of these, both people were super happy. I didn’t notice a difference, but the owners of the cars said it was night and day.
There is a massive lag between throttle input and the throttle body opening, after a couple weeks you just naturally get on the gas sooner, so I don’t notice it anymore. I’ve heard the tune helps a ton though.
Nice looking for the age, miss my 02 1.8T non-GLI I had. Mine had Eibachs as well, ride was a bit harsh on the stock struts I had always thought about putting a Koni FSD setup in it. Do the APR (or Giac) chip it is worth it.
^on 1.8t it is. On a Vr it isn’t.
This car is the vr6 gli
^ Yup. Interestingly a buddy of mine has an 02 Jetta 1.8t with full bolt ons, a 5 speed and a Stage 2 unitronics tune, and it’s dead even with my stock GLI.
The stock struts were hosed after one winter, my KYB AGX’s handle the Pro-kit very nicely.
it’s really tough to make these sound bad. love it.
That was a solid first pull. Sounds good:tup:
Sometimes you’ve just gotta do stupid shit in your driveway
Does he know how to drive?
Sold this last night, all cleaned up and basically back to stock except for the Pro-kit, AGX’s and Magnaflow muffler, hadn’t found my grill inserts until after I took the picture, lol
And one last tribute to VR noises…
sad to see it go what did you do with the light bar?
what will be the replacement?
Guess I missed this, gonna keep the light bar, I spent too much time making it to get rid of it, I think I’m gonna throw the larger light bar on the front of the 4 wheeler, keep the smaller one for a different project.
Ended up with a B8 A4 Avant to replace it, loving every second of it.
