Lazy Sunday 400

What wheel specs are that Jetta?? I know it's really digging back... but I am interested on 245s on my GLI.

No worries, they were 18x9 et30 rota boosts w/ 245/35 s.drives




I also picked up some acrylic and was able to make a small spacer/riser for the spoiler so mounting it shouldn't be too difficult

Thanks man I slightly did the drivers side, but i didn't take the fender off so i had a hard time getting it above that lip. I didn't notice the passenger side, I'll have to check it out.



I might try some OEM wheel first to see if I can get the tire size I like to fit, I'd like to do square with 245/45/17 Direzzas, Spend the money on UCAs & RCAs for the front so i can get some camber to get the fit right.

I ran 245s many years ago on a Jetta I had and thought it looked pretty badass, I like more sidewall though now and I know more about fitment than I did back then. I have to post some photos to reminisce








My wife laughed and said the same, hopefully eventually it will fit in. I do like the wood deep corn but I'd rather do other things first.

R32 GTR wing!!!!

now i just have to solve the problem of making little spacers to mount it and I need to ditch the emblems





I like that it has this 90's DTM look, but still Japanese. The angle in the pic below just has a 90's MB vibe IMO

Just needs a gurney flap once I figure out the mounting situation

[Blumagic]

Thanks! I've forgot to update this thread.

Did the rear brakes in and put on the TL Enkeis until next winter

Matched up with the front, R1 slotted rotors, EBC red stuff, braided lines, and bled w/ DOT4



All in with the rear 30mm spacer



sunrise pic with my dirty ass car, it needs a wash bad.




If anyone is curious about the lugs these are 1320 performance ball seat lugs that look like tuner lugs; so safe fit but look cool.




Did a head unit delete, now i just have to remove everything else associated.

Metra Kit + BMW blank plate



pulling it all out


taking it apart


nice and tidy


side shot for good measure

New shoes look good!

[Blumagic]

i ripped that lip off not long after... I just need a new bumper really.

Front suspension has new poly LCA bushings and new poly strut rod bushings in

I almost have everything for the rear brakes, only have to order the calipers.

spaced out the stock wheels with some IcePro snow tires, really good for the money! just loud but I can't complain for <$200/set






I also picked up some TL enkies for $175 w/ tires .... I am planning on putting some 595-RSR or 615Ks on these for the spring

I love these wheels they remind me of Axis Touring cups from back in the day

test fit, sorry for the dirt:






After the brakes and tires I need the rear control arms (probably Megan), i can hear the old bushings clunking back there and I get a weird lateral sway when I take corners faster.

after that I'm hoping to move to refresh some of the cosmetics

[top-cat]

Oh man this is interesting

[Blumagic]

modified a cobra lip, but accidentally cracked the passenger side. It'll do until i can get a new bumper

[EricT93]

Some quality mods you've done, keep up the good work! Those refurbed calipers will look great behind the right set of wheels.

[mgpdoc]

I like this so much. Reminds me of when I started modding my A4.

More progress please.

[Blumagic]

I'm going for that base model Toyota look haha, opposite of VIP. I know what you mean though I have clear ones coming this week, I tried night shade but it reacted weird with the plastic so I have to get new ones.

Properly tucked the drivers side harness this weekend


installed rebuild calipers, R1 rotors, EBC reds, braided lines and DOT 4


dipped the lower half to see what it looked like, and actually notbad.jpeg. I might do gloss black lowers with the OEM blue in the future when I can get a new bumper.


Drove all over for work, stops on a dime now



I also deleted the washer fluid, lost a little more weight but gives me easy access to fender removal which will be nice when wheel time comes.

[R2dmax]

I like the progress up to that last pic. Maybe it's my OCD but the corners being Yellow and the bumper lights deep amber cheapens the front IMO. Still interested to see where this goes.

[Blumagic]

shitty update, but I haven't seen many tint the corner lights. Gets rid of the crown vic look

now i just need to get clear bumper lenses and match the tint

[Blumagic]

Yeah.... mine was an early model UCF10 so it came with 15" small brake wheels...

Sadly I do not know. Everything except for my coilovers was stock on the suspension

i think i'm going to go 16", leaning toward R32 GTR wheels to try it out.

this set up specifically, but with R888s



nothing too exciting.

Upcoming
new front brakes on the way;
- EBC redstuff
- R1 slotted rotors

I still need to order stainless lines and reman calipers.

just got poly strut rod bushings from AST


did a mediocre wrap job on my console last night. A more contemporary wood grain that I was going to use in my old genesis.

Looks okay though, I have to fix the ashtray a bit

[nishy]

no worry that looks cool, I think I need at least 16" on the UCF20 brakes the clearance with the stocks looks like 1mm.


The other reason is that keeps me waffling is not being able to run RCA's with 16". Do you know from experience how much they help?
