So the legacy that I had was totaled and I just purchased a 2006 Salsa Red GLI

My first plan are to get some winter wheels and tires.
Then for the spring my goals are, coils, skid plate, and new wheels. From there I am not really sure yet what I would like to do. If anyone has some suggestions lets hear it.

Personally, I am a big fan of these tails.

If not, the 07+ ones that are a little darker are nice too

[Vbelisle]

No, your right I plan to get euro tails eventually. My priorities are to lower it first but I will be keeping my eye out for some euro tails.

[Vbelisle]

Well I picked it up today, and I love it! now I just need to work on my driving (its my first stick lol)

[Vbelisle]

Got some yellow lamin-x on the fogs, yellow high beam bulbs, reloacted the plate, winter tires with steelies, a euro switch, and a euro plate. I also painted the front and rear emblems. Next step coils...

[Vbelisle]

Ordered some BC coilovers and they should be on the car in a few weeks. Im also hoping to get the side markers paint matched.

[Vbelisle]

Finally got my coils on, now I just need an alignment.

Nice man! I think I saw this on VWVortex? What else do you have planned for it?

[02vwgolf]

wow dude been watching this since you got the car, and damn that looks amazing with the drop. I would say pick up a set of spacers just to flush out the rear wheels and that **** will be mint!

[92accordex]

Are you in the Ne Philly/feasterville area? I could have sworn I saw this car going down county line like a month or so ago. Looks real nice just lowered all stock

[Vbelisle]

Thanks for all the positive comments!

Im actually looking to get some sawblades right now, I dont know about spacers for now, it rubs on some bumps. the fronts need to be rolled so I can drop that down some more, theres a ton left that I can lower them. I am currently saving for some euro led tails and a euro lip, so hopefully I get some money for my birthday lol.

Im on vortex so thats possible you saw it there also.

Im usually driving around Flemington, Pomona/AC, and Bayonne NJ for the most part. The only time I was in Philly was for the auto show.

[Vbelisle]

So at this current moment I am currently looking for some fairly cheap wheels and tires. I would like some saw blades but im not sure what to get thats going to look good on my car.

[02vwgolf]

saw blades or alfred's, they look ill on these jetta's. Check the regional parts thread on vortex there is a mint set for sale on there!

link? With sawblades will I have to run adapters? I am definately going to need my front fenders rolled and the liners adjusted.

[02vwgolf]

not sure about the sawblades, i know on my mk4 i would have to but here is the alfreds they would look sick on your car...

[Vbelisle]

trust me dude i know the feeling...chose not to get a job this semster at school= worst decision ive ever made for my car lol

Ide look into some Audi wheels. They can be found at good prices with tires. Audi makes some wheels that look awesome on MK5s. RS4s, Audi A8L 12 spokes, Audi A8 Flat Fives just to name a few. Also, the CC wheels look good on mk5s.

Yeah I have been looking at them too but I need something thats not going to destroy my fenders, I am already rubbing most of the ones for sale have not so friendly tires.

[Vbelisle]

After I finish this paper for school I will see what I can do...

[Vbelisle]

Well im still working on the wheel situation, I might just keep these wheels for the season and toss some new tires on the fronts. Im going to pick up a set of 5mm spacers for the fronts and 10 mm for the rear. I also ordered a set of euro tails thanks to the tropicana in ac :mrgreen:

[boostedsm]

i really hate mkv jettas but this one is clean and i like. props

[Vbelisle]

thanks, im doing my best to keep it cleanly modded on a budget.

[DelayedZ]

I think I saw you in flemington, I work in that area now, so I watch for anything modded, lol

Most likely then but I am only there every now and then as im away for school, but I will be home next week for the summer. I cant say that I have seen your car though?

[DelayedZ]

I don't have my Z I have a fiesta now, thats probably why, haha...most people don't notice it I'm under the radar, lol

[Vbelisle]

Lol that might be why, I will have to keep an eye out for it.

[Vbelisle]

If anyone has some time to photoshop some s4 wheels on here that would be sweet, I might be picking up a set soon if they look decent in person.

[Vbelisle]

Got a flat today :/

[Vbelisle]

Decided to keep the classix for this summer and pick up something a little better over the winter when people are looking to sell their summer wheels lol. I got 2 new tires and am going to pick up some spacers 5mm front 10mm rear for the summer. My other plans for this summer are intake, and a stage 1 tune, and restoring the emblems back to chrome.

Tails and trunk look good. How did you get it to stay in place while driving?

[DTownHemiD]

Does that floor rattle or vibrate at all?

Its in there pretty snug and has no room to shift or move, I just hope I dont get a flat and have to take it out to get to the spare.

Not at all, or atleast not that I know of. The car already rattles and creaks from being low.

[Vbelisle]

Today I had my taillights coded so they work properly with the amber turn signals, I also had the coding changed for a few other minor things.

[Vbelisle]

did some interior work on the car:

Thanks, its a noticeable fabric but nothing crazy, I just need to trade someone for leather seats and my interior should be good for a bit.

[Vbelisle]
