nine-deuce Jetta

[Rocambolesque]

Here's one cool update:

I finished the harness:


Its routed under the rad support, so this is what you see when you look behind the lights:


I installed a Eurosport short shifter:


One pic to show the slammage:


I went to a "season opener" BBQ last weekend, here's a pic someone took:


Ok now you're probably asking "why the hell is this update supposed to be cool?"... Well,
...NEW ADAPTERS WERE BUILT!
Should be shipped tomorrow and here by the beginning of next week. Wheels getting bolted on sooooooon!

Oh yeah, and I also recieved a set of 6 new speakers for the car to replace the 2 half-working ones and the 4 other blown ones hehe...

your car is looking real clean, I dig it.

good job man , love what u did with it , looks mint

[Rocambolesque]

Oh hai


Unfortunately, I got home and I started to get dark, so I only fitted 2 wheels just to see how it sat. When I got the car off the jack I totally flipped, the car looked insane! Since I'm no photographer I couldn't capture that moment onto a picture, so you'll have to deal with the 4 pictures I managed to take before my camera ran out of battery





The new adapters are 35 and 40 mm, so final offsets and wheel specs are the following:
16x7 et25 front and 16x8 et17 rear.

Last weekend I hammered the shit out of my rear fender lips and I cut a part of the plastic flare, but still, rear fitment is so tight I could jam the car's key between the tire and the fender...


Of course I can't drive like that lol. I'll have to adjust the coils and maybe add a touch of rear camber!

And finally I recieved a boost gauge

Ok I put all 4 wheels on the car after coming back from work! I snapped a few pics for ya'll...

Ok here's an update for y'all.
Last week I spent my time getting the car ready for Eurokracy. If you weren't there this year you should come next year! Amazing show! There was about twice as much cars as last year, which was the first edition. I even saw some of the cars from here!
Anyways, me and a friend hit the paint with polish and wax. Prior to this I went over all of the little rust spots/paint chips with a touch up pen. I also converted all of the dash lighting to green led. And finally I managed to find a place in the UK where they had those for a reasonable price:


The morning before the show the car looked like this:

Only picture I have from that day...

After 2 weeks of rolling around I found out I didn't roll my fenders enought, I cut slits through both my rear tires. Gonna fix this during the weekend.

Saw you at Eurokracy! Are you from anywhere in the region? Hopefully I'll see you in a couple of meets if you are
