![http://images.cobaltgroup.com/5/2/3/580746325.jpg](http://images.cobaltgroup.com/5/2/3/580746325.jpg) 03’ VW jetta TDI. 90hp. sick. 5spd,sunroof,headed seats,monsoon sound etc… Basically everything I want/need in a cheap daily. Oh, and the 40mpg doesn’t hurt either. Being a daily I’m not gonna touch the thing… Maybe just, intake,straight pipe, and a tune. I heard Nozzels are a good upgrade too, In my search for 50+ mpg. Also getting a hitch to tow a small trailer around for my dirtbike/pitbike/snowmobile. yayy. Picking the thing up on Wednesday. I’m pretty happy about it. ---

I had a Dodge ram with a cummins motor, with the smarty programer and the TC locked, that thing would cloud out the sun. I prob will mod it slightly, intake and straight pipe for sure (works wonders on diesels) Can’t wait to get it! ---
