    FT: 2001 Jetta 1.8T 5 speed

    This is the ad mostly copy/pasted from VWVortex
    (Link HERE if you want to check post count/ credibility there). I know it may be a bit of a long shot posting here, but I figured I'd put it out there.

    This car has been a dependable daily for me in the time that I've had it. The car currently has 199xxx miles on it and runs strong. The mileage will go up as it is daily driven (at least 70 miles a day). I really like this car, and it's been nothing but good to me, but I'm looking to possibly get in to another E30. It must be reliable though, as this is currently my only working car, that being said I will not sell outright either so there's no price posted. :beer:


    Mods:

    FK Steetline Coilovers
    3in TBE exhaust
    Badgeless grille w/ shaved hood notch.
    APR Stage 2

    The Bad:

    Spot of rust on the passenger rear quarter panel
    Airbag light is on for the harness in the steering wheel (there's a TSB about this and the harness just needs to be repaired) Air bag light has now been turned off (12/17/13)
    Headliner is starting to sag a bit.
    Rear windows are funky in the way that they roll up, I'm told it's a simple fix, but I don't feel like taking the door panel off. Fixed (12/24/13)

    Recently replaced by me:

    Tune as mentioned above.
    Drivers side axle
    Front Pads replaced with Akebono low dust pads (old pads rattled like crazy)
    R32 Control arm bushings
    New Nitto tires
    New H&R front spacers (old ones were not hubcentric and vibrated really badly)
    New Turn Signal Stalk (12/24/13)
    New Slyvania Sliverstar Bulbs (12/24/13)
    New N75 (1/8/14)
    New Battery (1/8/14)

    New Spark Plugs (1/8/14)
    New (Feb.) Projector HID Rep Headlights with 5k HID
    New (2/8/14) Fuel Pump
    New (2/8/14) PCV Stuff
    New (2/27/14) Redline Manual Transmission Fluid
    Crappy iPhone pictures taken 10/17/13 car is really dirty. :facepalm:

    There are more than likely some other maintenece items that I have forgotten to list, but this car is all up to date, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere.

    Text me for more info/pictures. 214-364-6531
