ericsarge Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hello all. My name is Eric, and i drive a stupidly-slow 97 jetta gt. Go ahead and tell me how many ways you would kill me on any type of track...I wont argue. She's obease and under powered. I'd love to buy something new to start with, but wouldnt we all. I hope to put some money into it...just graduated college so i should have some to play with soon. When i bought it, it screamed "potential" to me, so i couldnt turn it down. That's the way most money vampire projects start anyway. I was told about CR by a friend. He said it's a cool place and that there are people on here that know pretty much everything about cars. Sounds like my kind of thing. I could use the help and someone could use the business. I expect to be cooked pretty good since i drive an import, but i'm used to it. VW's for life. I couldnt afford most of the cars some of you drive, though they are pretty damn nice. I'll post pics of the turd after i bathe her. Stew in anticipation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cranium Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I'll help you out the same way I was helped out. Read the sticky about how to make your intro post. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61288 And there are plenty of people on CR who drive imports, I'm just not one of them.

ericsarge Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 2.slow - nice. I've been lookin for something faster to drop in it; might as well start with the right powerplant. at least it's a 5-speed. i was hoping to find some other vw fans, because i'm not really sure which way to go with it. it should be a fun project car though. and im not sure of his username i l brian c. not brian either...gettin fresh so soon. buy me a drink first. haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I would do a VR6 -T Swap as well. The sky is the limit on power for them when built right, and it has been done many times. Check out ohiovw.com and vwvortex.com to get some more VW specific swap info. There are only a handful of VW guys here, and we all either have a MKIV GLI or MKV GTI.

SRTurbo04 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 i woudl say i will drag you down 270 but your cars so slow ill just ask if you wanna race my 91 2.3l ranger from a dig to 65(if our your car an my truck can go that quick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericsarge Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 thanks for the advice guys! ive actually already sent out feelers for the vr6t, seems like thats going to be a pretty penny, but, like you said, the power appears to be limitless. i think the first step will be suspension and brakes. ive riddin in massive trucks that have less body roll. haha. i have already found some sweet forums, but thanks for the info!

Bigbird Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Dude...in all honesty...don't mod your car. Unless you have the money from the start to go with this VR-T swap, just save up and get another car. Get a VR6 to begin with, or a GTI, or whatever makes you splooge at night. Don't go the Honda Civic route with your VDub...for the love of God PLEASE. PS...I've been drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
