Upgrade.
Monday, April 04, 2011 9:45 AM
Sold the car for $2700 and bought a 2003 GTI 1.8T 5spd.
Huge upgrade from my 2200 3 spd auto lmao.
Loaded leather heated seats with a monsoon sound system.
Only 56,000miles and paid 7,800. I am very pleased with this car.


To...


Will have more pics soon but this hail and possible tornado weather in pa is friggin weird. lol.
Plans are to lower on coilovers and camber the rear. Stance time.
( iknow sunfire looked like crap but i didnt want to put money into a '98 with higher mileage.)

Very nice. I was looking at buying one but then found out that the insurance for me would have been around 400 a month. Then got a STEAL on my SS/SC. Post pics and can't wait to see it with the drop.

I've been told the 1.8t's are the worst GTi's in the entire history of the line. I don't know anything about them really but everyone holds the VR6's in much higher regard. I think they look awesome either way though.

The only problem I've heard with the 1.8 is that the secondary air pump goes bad fast. I absolutely love it though.

What color is ur 4dr phewes? I was trying to find one but fell into a 2

I looked at a cobalt too! But I kinda like the stance of Gtis

I hope you are electronically inclined.

I owned both a 1.8 GTi and a VR6. Both were huge pain in the asses but the 1.8 was seriously mediocre.
