Saying what's up to all the VW people out there. I'm getting into the Jetta scene now after draggin' my s10 for a few years. Here's a pic or two of my old ride. The Jetta will be shaved, bagged and dragged soon!!

Yea I definitely want to do some things to give it some go, nothing crazy. Not trying to race it, just see her layed out. What have you done with your ride?

not a great deal unfortunately, i just started paying student loans along with a new apartment and car payment. Not to mention the little odds and ends to pay for like insurance and utilities. So basically im kind of hanging back for a little while to make sure ill be safe to put money into it with everything else, plus my warranty prevents me from going to terribly far.
but i have an intake on it, a new lip cause i didnt want an entire body kit, and im about to buy more open intake piping, drop springs, shocks, and a full sway kit.
When i get promoted, the first step will be an APR 3" turbo-back exhaust and a chip from either neuspeed or APR.

i got a lot of plans, just slowly working on making them happen.

That sounds good man, at least you have things in order. I hear you about the "slow" part. Took me about 5 months to bag my truck when I had it. Where do you go to find aftermarket parts? I know where to go for truck parts, now I need to learn where to go for the car. I've got a lot of plans as well, and it's also going to take me some time.

yeah, finding new sites is a hassle when you change vehicles like that.
i use search engines a lot searching for new ones but a few of my most recent favorites were performancecafe.com, awe-tuning.com, speedoptions.com, extremedimensions.com and grounddynamics.com are more for body, neuspeed and APR are good, conceptdub.com, and we cant forget the all important EBAY.
i like performance cafe a lot, they have some good deals, a full sway kit for about 350 shipped. they also have a lot of options on a lot of parts.
if nothing else, search engines are dieing to throw you at a site or eight
good luck
