| Well its about that time I make one of these. I have some pretty big plans for this one, some have which have already gone under way. What it looked like shortly after I bought it... What it looks like now... To do: -K04-001 turbo swap. -Eurojet Street FMIC. Done: -Golf front end swap. -R32 front bumper. -Smoked headlights. (Joey modded for now, real ones to come.) -Boser hood. -Badgeless grill. -Front respray in Platinum grey. -2.5 Eurospec stainless steel cat back exhaust. -OEM replica 5-100 MK5 "Huff" wheels with 215/40/18 tires.

| I might, I just dont want to set all my hopes on a stage 3 yet because I have other things to be completed before upgrading the turbo. Who knows maybe way down the road yes. Its just not that practical for me at this time. | |

| I suppose, getting stage 3 would probably require about 15-20hours/week at Staples haha | |

| Yeah for sure. I think Puck was kidding anyway. Wait a few years till you're getting more hours at better pay and then go for it. | |

| Yeah exactly lol this is my DD and I would figure around 200-210WHP is a little more reliable than lets say 290-300WHP and also alot cheaper to pull off. Dont be hating its the route I chose to take. | |

hah...anything I ever say should never be taken seriously....unless accompanied by the quote "seriously".....seriously. I'm just lovin' the random shit all you guys are pulling off with your cars. It keeps the scene alive and well. And Sweetland...well his cars speak for themselves. Not bad for starting the scene on a jacked-up 4x4 Corolla rockin 17s...seriously | |

| i still think i liked the jetta front end better, maybe once there is a grill/ all one color it will look better. either way should look good. | |
