2002 volkswagen GTI

[occsdude]

i picked up a 2002 GTI last friday. it is going to be my daily driver/winter/project car once the cobalt is out of the shop.

but i am planning on doing a budget build since its going to be my daily/winter car but i want to just throw this up here and give this place a little diversity.

here she is the day i got her:


im planning on doing mostly exterior mods and a few things to liven it up a bit

Veedubs are fun. I had a Corrado G60 once upon a time.

Nice. S/C'd Corrado's are fun, I hear. I would prefer the VR6 though. I reeeaaaally like the VR6.

bleh, no love for vdubs from this guy

looks clean tho...

Cool ride. Just not a huge fan of hatchbacks though.

it is a 1.8t. thing is slow as balls and needs a new clutch asap. im not a huge fan of hatches but it is small and easy to see out of so i dont mind

i loved my mkiii vr6, you could run it on the autobahn all day at top speed and never have an issue. made it to austria one time in under 2 hours going flatout, didn't even raise the coolant temp much.

Why did you get rid of it?

[jimbos'ss]

would be pretty easy, but shipping would be high. i was supposed to get some rims for RLB but i never heard back from the company who sells them.

[occsdude]

okay so i got some 17x9.5 sawblades for all four corners for this thing. now i need to get new tires, coils, and adapters to finish the look of the car.
here are the wheels. they need some work but i got them cheap so i wont complain
