Was lookin' through my photobucket the other day and came across some old shots of my past loves like my last GTI:

And now the GTI that started my affair with VW:

And my favorite project, my buddy's '99 VR6 Jetta that we did a 14psi Turbonetics t3/t4 turbo install with a turbo-back 2.75" custom exhast and many more goodies, had the engine bay down to just block, pistons and crank at the middle of the install. I learned my engine the hard way...

435HP at the wheels when we were all done and it was properly tuned. Then about 4 months later he was t-boned on base and totaled the whole thing. Eight grand in work out the door.

And one last shot of me by a car we found in Spain, proof that you can put a toaster on wheels...

It's a VW, of course it is... .

I ran a winter season of autocross with the Beachombers Vette club of Va Beach in the street mod group (simply for a cone filter, loss of air box did me in) and the G mod class and placed 8th of 30 or so for novice, beat a few vette's too, lol. $20 for a few runs every other weekend for a chance to learn your car in tight technical situations, it's money well spent. I knew more about that car and it's abilities than any other car I have owned because of that (and the turbo job lol). If you have a local autocross club, I highly reccomend taking a weekend or two to do it, you wont regret it.

I appreciate all makes of car but have a soft spot for Audi/VW. Nice rides guys.

Attached is a pic of my last Audi and a pic of a 66' VW Bug my buddy just picked up.

Thats a sexy air cooled. Lookin for a Type 1 bus for a project some day. They always look so clean when done right...

I love the old skool style. My dad has a 38 Plymouth 5 window with a lot of blood, sweat and tears (and loads of money) put into it. Redoing the entire interior and electrical this year for a better show season next year though.

No, mine are still here....OOOHHH the other one's :lol:

I had a Corrado G60 that I bought off of eBay.

When it was delivered I found out that I couldn't even fit in it.

FAIL.

 

[MNRidinDirty]

If you still have it, I'll take it, kinda like a hand me down since it doesn't fit :lmao:

 

[scuzz]

Sold that thing more than 6 years ago.

Worst supercharger design...EVER.

 

[MNRidinDirty]

Completely agree, but perfect turbo VR6 swap candidate

 

[scuzz]

Yeah they should have gone turbo for sure. It was a really cool car though. Speed actuated spoiler. Brake cooling ducts. ABS. Sunroof. Leather seats. Central locking.

For a '91 is was ahead of it's time. The VR6 was the better option IMO.

It was just too small.

The Corrado was my favorite design for 'bahn burners. Such sexy lines and pefectly matched with a VR6 made them light and quick. now if we can only get the Scirocco in the states:

Did you see the Top Gear episode where they had to make a commercial for the Diesel Scirocco?

It was funny stuff.

Wait! I found it!

:lmao::lmao::lmao:
Cant beat the diesel for mileage, but yeah it is a gutless wonder for top end.

The 2.0T version is a beast though.

And on a side note, TG is the best show ever...
