  • MY Jetta IV on 19's

    Hey everyone! I'm in a need of some help. I bought a 2001 GLS Jetta IV about 2 years ago. It's basically stock besides the 235x35x19 tires and rims, clear bumber lights, and also stubby antenna. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could add next.

    It's also a 2.0, meaning it's kinda slow. Anything you recommend for the engine without blowing my bank account?? Thanks, slow2.0

    looks nice. As a fellow 2.0 owner, i feel your pain. There isn't much that you can do to make the car faster.

    Some cheap mods that will make driving more fun:

    poly bushings on the dogbone engine mount
    rear sway bar
    suspension
    audi TT shift linkage

    realistically, if you want speed, the mk4 2.0 platform isn't hte best starting point. You have 3 options: neuspeed supercharger, or a low boost turbo, both will run at least 2500-3000.. probalbly much more. option 3 is nitrous, which is initially cheap, but you get addicted to it and bottle refills will add up.

    edit: i went thru the whole chip/cam route and the cost to gains ratio sucks.

      Yeah.. unfortunetly that's what I thought.. I might as well just keep it stock except for the exhaust, chip, and air filter system.. Thanks for you input time.. slow2.0

          Yes it is lowered a bit.. I put on some H&R racing springs. I have no complaints about the ride and I never rub.

            r u in front of the hot wheels building if so do you have enough power to tell them to make a model of the Jetta all they have are golfs that I have been able to find.. By the way your car looks hot... Those look like Disturbos old wheels..
