Mk2 Jetta GX now VR6

VW Jetta GX

Here's my mk2 Jetta, as it started life - 1.6GX

    

By the time I took it in part ex in January for my polo G40, it had already been subject to a VR6 conversion by Lukas at OCDD (Leeds). The plan wasn't to keep it as I was looking to have something different done (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=239841.0  :whistle:). But I really liked it as a daily, very practical (size wise - not so much on fuel!), standard to look at and the VR6 sound is very addictive, especially when it's 200bhp+ and it weighs approx. 1000kg (weighed at yard)...

It has a 2.9 VR6  OBD2 engine which has done 18,000 miles since the conversion when it was also rebuilt. It also has;

6 branch stainless steel manifold (heat wrapped)
Jetta 16v exhaust,
Chipped ECU
K+N 57i kit, 
16v brakes, 
AP coilovers,  
Legal German plates

    

    

    

Since January I have had fitted (thanks to Brad & Ben), a VR5 FBK gearbox with 3.9 final drive (lower final ratio than VR6 box) which gives much better acceleration. While the engine was out I decided to give it a good clean up...

    

    

I have also fitted a mint 5-door mk2 golf ultraviolet interior which I think goes really well with the blue paint.

    

I'm not a big fan of BBS rx so I picked up some BBS RA's in excellent condition which I think look much better as dished.

         

To keep the tea leafs away I had a Clifford Concept 500 alarm fitted. I also have a v.good condition black carpet, spare Jetta front end, an Alpine Bluetooth stereo and infinity kappa speakers (still boxed) that I've just had delivered an about to fit...

Some more pics...

Looks really nice, you don't see many Jetta's with VR lumps.
