    The Jetta is Back.

    The Beast has returned.

    Those of you that saw it on the Sydney Cruise would have been aware of its sickness.

    Since then it has had a proper Mk2 Gearbox fitted, with the correct engine mount, which means I can now get 5th and the motor sits at the correct angle.

    I have kept the 1.9 bottom end, but replaced the head with a genuine GTI head with big valves, which I have just had rebuilt.

    It is currently running on a Twin throat Pierburg carby, but I have left all the sensors etc on the motor so that I can change it over to efi at a future date if I want to.

    Started it up today and it purrs like a kitten, no lifter noise and makes an awesome noise when you open the throttle. It was getting dark, so I settled for cleaning it and will go for a good test drive tomorrow.

    I still need to sell it really, as I have a new VR6 in the driveway so am open to expressions of interest in the region of $4500.

                  vr6 = mk3? i dunno anything!

                  doubt the jetta will be turbo'd waste of money.. and it may cause injury to many...

                  first thing im doing when i get her is replacing the back speakers with the 6'9's i have.. and then saving for a car alarm. then i'll see what happens from there.. STILL HAVENT FOUND MILOS GEARKNOB?!?!!!

                        Just drove the beast all round the new F7 freeway to deliver her into the loving arms of her new owner. She goes like a dream, although traction is a problem in the wet until 4th gear :twisted:
