Default My new VR6!

After my years of searching i have found my VR6. It is a Black 1998 Jetta GLX VR6 with 105XXX Miles on it. Before i sold my beloved first car i switched somethings what were in better shape like the front and rear bumpers and the truck to get rid of that spoiler i hate. This is my first manual car (other than driving my dad's .:R but) and after driving it for two days i am doing really well. I switched all the exterior mods i had on the GL to this car and until i get an exhaust and some coils and the important skid plate the exterior will stay that way. But enough of my rambling here is the car.

The VR:







I was suprised at how perfect the leather seats were:







The car has it's problems like all MK3s like the ABS light is on. That will get fixed soon. And like my previous Jetta a spuratic EVAP leak. But all in all the car is awesome. Now to save for an Exhaust, Coils, and a Skid plate for next show season.

i haven't gotten it fixed yet. I used a scan tool on it and it says the cause of the light is the passenger rear sensor so it may just be dirty because it the light goes on and off.
