I can't justify the price of wheels, yet, i could just about strike off about all of my handling mod list for about the price of some half decent wheels!
      I just sold my 19's. Going to get some lighter 17's this time.

        Yeah, tbh, 19" will be for general driving, then i'll just keep my aristos with some semi slicks/slicks for the rare track days or whatnot.

            • Quite happy, wouldn't mind about .5"-1" lower, but i'm KIND of considering getting 19", i'd just like the tyres to sit flush...

                a quality set of 19s should be lighter or same as the aristos. remember the car's height will also come up a little. should look good either way!

                          maybe one day, but it seems if you cant weld and paint your own car you are not building your car, you are paying for it to be done so you cant say you built it, so im glad to out of the vw scene for a while.

                              turns out the billy boat exhaust does infact come in LHD and RHD, thanks to the link from tazzy Volkswagen Jetta Exhaust Applications from Billy Boat Performance Exhaust
                              (should sort the occassional issues of it knocking on the chasis/heatsheild)
                              will get the new one installed, and take out the rest of the 2.5" catback and get some 2.25" piping straight through to the stock back box
                              a bit over the noise

                              • Fixed my stupid mistake of not putting the wires in the fuel cap release switch when i changed over my center console. It made it quite interesting when i went to fill up and the cap wouldn't open . Good fun ripping it all up again in a giant pain that it is.

                                Also fitted a very nice mod that I'm very pleased with. For $10 its a very cheap mod with good results and i would recommend it to anyone.

                                It involves fitting some 300mm CCFL's to your existing boot light but the result is like day and night.

                                Obligatory pics.

                                Wiring into the old boot light which is still functional


                                More wiring


                                Switch


                                On


                                View shows that not visible when looking at boot.


                                View at night. Very bright and good coverage



                                Compared to old boot light with no coverage
