Moved the office to the garage so when the ADD kicks in I can work on car stuff

It’s a 2005 Jetta TDI wagon with a manual. It was fun to drive when it had shit for power. I believe it was 90hp and it should be around >220hp, no idea yet on torque but plenty, especially with a light flywheel

Real talk those Jettas are sick. Friend has one (stick) that he won’t let go for the love of it.

I always find the clutch waaaaaay deep on them, but it’s fun as hell. So strange to the feel. You find the same or no? 

What condition you got it in?

Yeah that previous clutch sucked, this new one should be decently stiff and much earlier. There was a ton of play in all the linkage. I replaced a few pieces in there that should really improve the feel. I got it at like 120k miles, I think? It’s been awhile now. I think it’s over 250k. It gets over 50mpg

I just had it. I actually never wanted it but kinda ended up with it. It didn’t cost me anything so I just used it as a loaner for friends in town for a long time. Then I blew a head gasket and decided it needed to be a super go cart

Delicious.

Any reason for that specific car? Just curious, don’t gotta share.

If I ever did a build & fix, I reckon it would be Ford Mustang GT 1967.

Not that I know wtf to do with it but that one is dear to my heart.
