Untitled - 1992 Jetta GLI

Hello my name is brent and i am new over from JettaJunkie.com and was wondering what the UK Vw's lookin like......

I currently drive a 1992 VW Jetta GLI 2.0L was a 16v but went to an 8v because the mileage was way better aswell as condition and power output..... the 16v was beat hardcore before i owned it...... also couldn't find a decent 16v

Its mostly stock except for the 15" OZ fittipaldi rims which are to be powder coated white as soon as spring hits and there is no snow..... My mod plans are skunk 2 stage 2 clutch, AEM intake, Hooker exhaust, new paint.... same red color, but hood will be white, rims will be white..... I am also looking into a turbo is i can find a cheaper one that works decent...... Just bought it lookin kinda dirty but its my project!!!!

sorry for the angles i used a hunting and big game camera LOL.... couldn't aim it correctly...

welcome mate. wheels look good, very like rota slipstreams.

they are starting to get like dings and such in them wearing off the polish..... I am going to sand them down with like 380 grit sand paper.... prime, triple coat the white and triple the clear to them..... will look hott on those Douglas Performance GT-H tires.........

welcome mate nice wheels

Hi ya buddy welcome to JOC sounds like ya got a lotta plans for the car where abouts in the US are you from?

I am from the east coast....... to be percise i am from Edgecomb, Maine, U.S.A.

Reaver when you said the cars are more popular in the U.S. over on jetta junkie, you're probably correct, but no one does anything with them but beat them..... I find very few people with really nice project cars... they work on them, then beat the hell out of them..... The nicer ones come to the local VW Auto Show at the fair grounds, I plan on going there next year with my project...

Any suggestions on how to degrease an engine besides engine brite because i can seem to reach into spots that i want clean possibly a tool that can reach with a soft end??

you need some sort of spray engine degreaser obviously being carefull not to aim it at the more sensative areas of the enginereally not sure what to recomend because you bound to have different or rebranded products in the states

hi mate welcome good to here state side peeps , i hear jettas out sell golf's massivly over ther .. nice wheels to mate . we tent to use a stuff called gunk over here but like reaver says its probly a different product state side ,but wotever u use bag up any alarm box cover electrics and wen rinsing off use a hose pipe on tricle much easyer to controle were water is going and keep enguine running whilst rinsing to helps ..

Thanks for the suggestions... We aslo have gunk.... Has a birhgt orange cap and stuff... I am really scared of the water idea unless i get it completely covered and plugged....

How extremely bad for my car is it to have to pop the clutch to start it everytime????? I am sure it does minor damage but im not so sure about the liong term horrible damage if you will?

Why are you having to do that has the started gone up the spout?

i didnt know they sold magic trees in the states lol!

Yea... the starter is shot...... it works most of the time but really slowly and once in awhile i gotta pop the clutch to get it going......... just wondering how much damage its casuing internally......

magic trees???

Air freshener's(hang off the rear view mirror!)
Welcome btw!!

Oh i see..... magic trees......

Thanks.... Just got the hood sanded primed and painted white last night.... Did it with spray can paint but it came out perfect..... a few blotchy spots in the middle but nothing a little 1500 grit sandpaper ice cold water and 2 coats of laquer wont cure.....

Will have pics soon....
