Jetta

On February 18, 2003 I took delivery of my very first new car. My 2003 Platinum Gray Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T 5-speed was exactly the car I was looking for, and I got it. I couldn’t have been happier then and even today I never look back on my decision. Since then, I’ve changed quite a number of things on the car.

Right now this page just gives a little overview of the simple modifications I’ve made to my car. Before too long I hope to have a number of technical explanations outlining some of the things I’ve done to my car and how I did them.
