Bryan's Car Part Deux


not very many mods at all on this car. It came stock with pretty sweet stuff. His exhaust always had extra detonation sounds and it sounded pretty cool. Probably from having removed his cat (catalytic converter for those still learning) the rear spoiler was the coolest part of the car. Like most porsches, it had a speed activated spoiler. i believe once you hit 45, it would automatically rise up. Some people have tried integrating this into other VWs but i doubt it wouldve looked good


first signs of ageing from the car. I was surprised the new owners didn't haggle more seeing as how this rust spot would be hella hard to fix. Definitely wouldve required taking the glass out and welding the body again..maybe they just wanted to do a full respray of the car. The hood also had quite a bit of hail damage, didnt look too good at all i must say.


the interior was just money man. the leather was so well conditioned and taken care of, that mustve been the selling point. Momo pedal covers are sported along with the customary radar detector. the cable shifter was a first for me, it felt kinda weird but definitely made shifting very very fast.


basically a completely stock interior. He had a freakin glove box and i didnt...unfair! The radio is also stock and the coolest thing is that he had an oil gauge and battery voltmeter in the center console infront of the shifter (the white thingee in the picture) that came stock with the car. Amazingly, the battery hadnt been changed since the car was bought brand new off the dealers lot.


theres the vr beauty in all her glory. same engine as mine, different car. Sounded very much more tame just because of the stock airbox. Never really raced him though to see the diff in our motors....probably shouldve. His engine bay was def alot cleaner than mine is right now


just thought id show this...this was a pretty sick setup with the polished runners and powdercoated oilcover...fully chromed supercharger just looks sick. I wish i could make my engine bay that nice but it might take too much time and money...both of which are a rarity to me these days


this is another pretty nice interior besides the stupid silver buttons i just hate...note the silver faced gauge cluster, i so wanted that in my car but think im goin another route now. Also, the nice tv install in the center console along with the autometer gauge beside the radio. It kinda hit me today that ill be in detriot over the summer. So i think i might get a momo removable wheel (excuse i know) That way, if any thug tries to steal my baby, hes gonna have a mr bean moment. Not sure which one to get, but once i narrow it down, ill show it to you guys..prob nothing too flashy...Not sure if i should beef up the security on the car at all...hoping the stock alarm would hold up


this is a sample pic of an LED swap i was talking about. I really wanted to get all white bulbs for the interior but the light switch is unmodifiyable and it will only be red...so i mgiht have to go wit all red and white back lit cluster which i dont think would look half bad and would make my blue radio light fit in a little better. All right, thats it for today! comments are always welcome on what i can do to make this a better blog!
