Well you know how it goes, i saved my pennies and i saved my dimes and i bought this fun little car yesterday, it's a 1992 Volkswagen GTI, with an 8 valve head with TT cam, lighted lifters, TT heavy duty springs, 2 liter bottom end, Rebuilt transmission w/ over sized 5th gear, new clutch, Dual exhaust manifold, high flow cat, super sprint mandrill bent exhaust system, H&R sport springs, Bilstien struts, whole suspension done, 4 wheel disk brakes,after market cross drilled/sloted rotors, and speakers replaced w/cd deck and two 10” subs with 4 Infinity Rerence series satellites. All engine work done 5k miles ago and suspension done 10k miles ago.

VERY NICE! Looks like it was well taken care of, suspension work is always overlooked it seems.

Yea thanks guys
I think this VW has been overlooked, its quite fast for what it is. The guy who had it before me was totally obsessive compulsive about it, and it is exceptionally clean, inside and out. I plan to keep it that way (:
