Driver Found - mkII GTI VR6

[kittenpuncher]

VAG Fair was a blast this weekend saw some unreal cars up in York, PA. If you haven't been and are a VAG enthusiast it is worth the trip.

Potato picture from VAG Fair all cleaned up in the A2 "mild" class

Car has been driving really well. I have started to position my longer term strategy for the car a little better now that the absolute necessities are taken care of. Quick aside, found out I have poly control arm bushing when I replaced my axle last weekend, which is a nice little plus.

Short-term
-Install the motor mounts/ trans mount
-Trans fluid flush
-Rear spacers

Medium-Term
-Custom hot air intake lolz
-Euro Clone intake manifold
-Tuck/Delete some of the superfluous stuff in the bay
-New front clip either westy grill or single round grill with the badge (golf style)

Long-term (Winter and beyond)
-Recover the Recaros with some sort of suede and vinyl combination
-Half cage (textured black or gloss red)
-Build some wheels either TH Lines or BBS RMs
-Rear seat delete with storage. Rear seats are already out I want to build a flat delete floor that will also allow for storage of a low-pro jack and roadside tools.
-Turbo
-Respray either go with the same red or go full retard with Oak green a euro only green offered on Mk2s

Picked up a custom CAI inlet pipe off of a vortexer, will most likely paint it wrinkle black. I'll post pictures when it is done.

In the meantime here is a shot from vagfair...

Sourced a custom intake in the classifieds, it is sand blasted and will get painted textured black. Thanks whoever it was on here that sold it super quality item.



Here is a picture of it chromed on his car. It's a unique shape coming off of the VR throttle body, I like it.

Here are a few actual non potato pictures from a buddy of mine; cars and coffee and vagfair the next day. It wasn't washed for cars and coffee.

I thought the smallest size Mtechnica Turbos came in was 16x8.5?

Reps 15x8 ... as these are just get me over wheels while I try and track down some BBS RMs or Schmidts. They were dirt cheap.

More non potato photos from vagfair.

You can see where I should touch the paint up in a few places, I guess that's okay given the car being 25 years old. Also, I am really contemplating a windshield wiper delete or a mono wiper.

Nicely done so far

Went for a nice fall drive the other day. Not going to see the pavement much over the next few months as this car wont be seeing any salt.

Nice mk2, it looks in great shape! Good to see you're taking care of it.

I see that you mentionned turbo in your long term projects
