    for those vdub geeks out there, I just bought this 1990 GLI 2.0 16V last month.


    lowered her with bilstein sports/neuspeed sports
    replaced the aero ligths with Euro quad lights, 7" H4's, 5" driving inner H3's.
    removed the tints.

    ewan ko 1.8T, we actually stopped at the traffic light to compliment each other's run. Una, sabi nya stock lang sya, sabi ko imposible. Ayun, umamin na naka PnP then some other internal mods. mabait yun tao, nakikita nya daw ako araw-araw sa avenue nila, hindi kagaya ng mga young bloods na nakikita ko sa daan. He was trying to decide between EVO 8 or STi, it was 3 months ago, ano kaya ang nabili nya?!

    nga pala, I always loved the Corrado. Someone was selling his 1992 Yellow one for $2,500.00 pero the cost to maintain, I dont wanna deal with.
