Yay new car

Just a commuter for now, may stay that way. Still undecided.

'91 Jetta, German build (thank God), 1.8, 5-speed, 250,000kms but meticulous maintainance and outstanding condition.

Ignore the winter 13"s on it right now, they are nasty and will be gone as soon as the snow is. In fact, I think I'll take the centre caps off so that I don't have that nasty two-tone thing happening. The summer tires are on the factory 12-round-hole 14" wheels, freshly painted. However, I think I may save those (on their last legs) for auto-x and get some 15" steelies with MK4 Jetta hubcaps for the summer tires :)

It looks pretty clean. Gas mileage?

It looks like its in great condition.

Not sure yet, but I did 225kms (140 miles) today after a fill-up and the needle still hasn't moved from above the full mark...

Sounds awesome if the needle moves consistantly.

Mine stays above half tank for a long time, but past half tank it drops to empty so fast that I think I can see it move within a couple of miles:disappoin .

Whats 250,000kms in miles?
My friend has a car like that. we always do burnouts with it lol

Heep isn't going to be running around in circles making "Vroooooom!" noises any more!

yeah pretty much

Do you know how proud you've just made me? :p



Man I miss my Mk 2 :( I had 250,000 k's as well on my German built Jetta and it ran better than my Hondas do at 125,000.

On closer inspection that's prolly damn near identical to mine, is it carbed or injected?

Does it have NOS?
















:lol2:

V-6 rotary? turbo? GT-R? lol


nice car man

Injected :)

It's far more solid and better running (and using less oil) than my friend's 2000 Civic...

looks good, and its a stick.. your only problem... its a 4 door. kidding. it looks good. and with proper toolage, you can give it power and keep the milage. header, intake, other fun things.

I'm more surprised you didn't try to find an A2 Jetta coupe Mark :lol:

Oh I did try to find a coupe one - but there are very few around, none for sale at the moment, and this one was too good to pass up despite its over-excess of doors...

wa-hay! marky-mark-mark is mobile again! good to hear buddy.

she's lookin' good man. i'd say you ditch the whole hubcap idea and try and get some cheap mesh wheels with a lip on them...and SLAM that bitch...haha. the later Mk2's with the big bumpers look SO good with just wheels, exhaust, and suspension. they need nothing else!

anyways i know at least 4 or 5 people who drive one of those Jetta's so it won't let you down, that's for sure.

congrats! :sunglasse

I assume you're back in Canada :-(

I wish I could of made that race track thing you had planned :-(
