Whats up all?? I'm Ryan and I have had my Jetta for about 3 years... If youre on Vortex you may recognize my car. My interest in VWs stems back long before I had my liscense...so getting this car after highschool was basically a dream come true.

First off I'd like to point out that my "Build" isnt anything compaired to some of the stuff in this forum...but i'd still like to share and get a little feedback..I'm far from a mechanic and learn by doing...but its all fun and I have enjoyed every stage of this car..

blah blah blah onto the pics..

started off like this:


did some bad things (Black tails, rubs, wheels...) :


Small tires:

then coils:


white wheels, spacers:

Then the wheels were mounted....but the height was never dialed in due to motor problems and coolant leaks...so i rolled around super high for a month and then took them off for the winter:

Then this happened:










no finished pics yet, but pretty much everything is back together...just some small touches of red suede around the car to accent the red in the Recaros..

#win for wearing the Jordan 11 concords and having a sick Jetta!!

[NathanHeeney]

I like the poke! I don't like the wheel choice or color though. Wheels are to over played on MKIV's.

Thanks guys! The 4mo was super easy...clips lined up just like the OEM valance so it was pretty quick...I zip tied a few clips on the inside for extra support since it takes a little bit of a beating...but it can't be seen from the outside of the bumper...

Cool ill try to put it on sometime soon and let you know how it goes..hopefully the old one comes off easy

Good luck man...shouldn't be to hard...my bumper was off when I did mine which may have made it easier...but either way it should be a pretty quick job

made little to no progress today but worked for about 5 hours :screwy:

long story short:

i bought old dampening adjustable air lifts from a dude on vortex who claimed he didnt know how low they went (mistake i guess) and upon installing them and putting the car on the ground i sat at about 24 inces fender to ground, maybe a little higher...unacceptable

decided to run a bag over coil set up until i can buy some fronts that actually go low, but obviously the bags on the air lifts wernt universal so it has taken some cutting and grinding to get everything to work...i keep running into set backs but im trying to stay determined lol

by tomorrow i should have some worth while updates....

heres the low before some cutting was done (polo bushings should be in soon)



thanks for looking!

[Mk4WiLk01]

finally finished assembiling the fronts but still have to address a leak on the passenger side:


got the rears on:


and what every garage should look like when working on cars lol

[Mk4WiLk01]

when i air out my fronts fit better than they used to, and it makes me happy all day

Real nice fitment now, better wheels eventually for sure. But I understand budget wheels, I have knockoff merican wheels as well!

yea ill be looking for something after h2o into the winter months....i kind of want to get my hands on a set of splits that need refinishing, that way i have a project through the winter lol these will be fine for a few more months tho!

[Tubaman]

looks sick!

[Mk4WiLk01]

Thanks dude^^^^




The only update I have is I made a new rig for my camera and shot some video...I'll post up the quick edit later

[JawDropper]

Looks good. As played out as the rims are on mk4 they still look good. You should polish them i think that would look amazing.

[Tekje]

Nice Jetta!

[Mk4WiLk01]
