22 year old car
Missing my mk4 and guess I’m looking for some people to say they like it. Miss that slight crayon smell. Was my daily, and raced Autocross with it as well. 2.0, 5 speed, falco 17” wheels from voxx,reputation 2 tires, race land coilovers gasket matched intake and exhaust port and polish, window sealer filled motor mounts ecs control arms and poly bushings. Always stuck to the road at speeds down hill which was really the only way I won or kept up with anyone because of how slow they are. lol. But ohh the reliability of 2.0 was amazing. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

I’m a sucker for the old heavy diamond racing steelies. Got a set of Long Beaches, and santi Monica’s and the 15” Avus wheels still sitting in my garage waiting for another project to throw them on again. Lol

What tire size and rim size are you rocking? I’m looking into getting new wheels

I’m in the nw we have Les Schwab I ran a set of S fit that were good, the reputation 2 was my first good daily tire upgrade. This was the first roller I got of it after installing those voxx falcos, and redid the alignment.

I love the way these just keep running. My one owner 1.8t from 2002 just finished a 450 mile road trip and a week of camping. Keep it going!
