my 1990 jetta carat

[liquidmike]

I tell ya its soo tempting to start going overboard with this car! My 1st dub was an MK2 jetta so its bringing back memories and the car I got already has a shitload of performance/suspension mods to it so I got a good base to work with, really just have to focus on the cosmetic asspects. I do want to put in a rear disc set-up though

o my DUBS are Addicting! its getting worst as i get older too!

Ps. Oldskool styles are looking better and better everyday! this is bad

Yeah it really nice cuz I'm getting the best of both worlds, I have my show car(gti) and then I got the shitbox that I don't have to worry about scratching up or whatever I can just beat the piss out of it and besides I've always had a soft spot for the older cars

lmk what yas think

[Tiedye357]

Could somebody please explain this "Carat"? The closest VW thing I could think of is a cross between a Corrado and a Passat :P. That doesn't even make any sense really, especially since it is a Jetta....
:EDIT: ... or Cabrio+Passat?

[liquidmike]

Looks like you got a good base to start with Ricky, did you tint the marker lights? Personally I'd keep the small bumpers cuz you'll have to change over all the trim. Get some smoked ecodes, tailights, and drop it! Btw what are you doing for wheels?

- no - that wouldn't make any sense - "Carat" was used to imply luxury - a "Carat" is a common way to measure gemstones (like a 1 CARAT diamond engagement ring) - get it?

Solenoid should be located on the starter iirc.
