My New Car!!

OK i know what you all are about to say, but hey, it's still a turbo, and it only cost like 24k. and it is BAD ASS stock.

i don't have my cam, so i robbed this off cardomain... but it is the exact same car. they just dropped them about a month ago for the summer, so there is little to no info on this car right now.



here is a stock list of parts!

VOLKSWAGEN 2004.5-200? JETTA GLI

POWERTRAIN

• 1.8t turbocharged 180 bhp @ 5500 rpm with 173 lb-ft torque @ 1950 rpm
• 6-speed MQ350/O2M350 manual transmission (from Audi TT)

BRAKES & SUSPENSION

• 12.3 inch front rotors, 10 inch rear vented rotors, red powder-coated calipers (all from Audi TT)
• Eibach springs that are 20% stiffer than stock, 23mm RSB, 21 FSB, gas charged Monroe shocks, metal/rubber rear bushings, 30mm drop

EXTERIOR

• Color: Platinum Gray
• 18"x7.5" BBS RC (Kreuzspeiche) wheels (Replacement Set of Four = $2,478.48)
• Goodyear Eagle F1 225/40-ZR18 tires
• Votex body kit with front valence, side skirts, rear valence and special trunk spoiler (the actual trunk lid is shaped with a spoiler lip)
• Body color mirror housings
• Darkened headlamp housings
• Darkened tail lamp lenses
• Red GLI badge on front grill and red GLI badge on rear
• Chrome 2.25" exhaust tip with full chrome underbody piping (not for long!)

INTERIOR

• Black interior with black headliner
• Recaro Sport seats silver/grey and black (front and Back)
• Red-lined seat belts
• European instrument cluster with aluminum trim bezels
• Brushed aluminum interior trim (complete kit)
• Leather-wrapped 3-point steering wheel
• Silver/grey stitching on steering wheel, shift boot and handbrake knob
• Leather shift knob with GLI in red script
• Silver/grey trimmed floor mats
• Aluminum pedals with rubber inserts
• Silver GLI door sills
• Monsoon 8 Speaker Sound System (4 Tweeters, 4 woofers)
• Sunroof



i bought it for my GF [LOL], so i don't have daily posession, but it is just a cool car and wanted to share it with you all

with some slight mods [chip, intake, BOV, exhaust] i'm going to bump up to about 230 to the wheels [or at least that is what i was told to expect by another guy that just got 1]. they keep the stock turbo at about 9psi, and you can safley run it at about 20psi. but as of now it barely has 100 miles on it, so no mods until 800 or so!

Re: My New Car!!

Sell the wheels, buy some aftermarket ones and make money still. Nice car, It seems pretty cheap for all that.

I sat in one of these at a car show in Dallas back in March and wanted one instantly. When I was 16 or 17 I looked for a 90-92 Jetta GLi because I loved those cars. The new one has alot of potential but comes loaded up nice to begin with.

Re: My New Car!!

congrats, Boosted!

Do what my cousin did to his vr6 and change the "Jetta" lettering to "Bora"! Nobody will no what the hell it is, and they will freak out and think it's something completely different and more powerful than a standard Jetta.

BTW, Bora is the what they call the Jetta overseas. Sorta like the GTO to the 3000gt.
