Re: road rage + Jetta GL bashing

[Chris Fox <foxychri@snet.net>]

I have a Jetta GL. Its a 94 with a 5 speed, 2.0 with Modified airbox
and K&N air filter.  It has Jamex lowering speings and Boge turbo gas
shocks.  I just picked up a set of 15" wheels with 205/50/15 speed rated
tires. Euro-rear foglight and more. I love this car! It has the rear
disk brakes (same size as a glx) and the front brakes are fine for the
lighter Motor.  Even in stock form this car was great, now modified it's
even better.  I joined this list to get some ideas for my car, and
hopefully help out others.  If this is gonna turn into a GL bash, remove
me from the list
