What exactly is it? I mean, I know it's a VW Jetta, but?
I love what you did to the front end, it looks super clean.
And it's a damn shame it's FWD. With that kind of power, so much more could be done on an AWD or RWD setup. Have you done any susp work to make it handle better? I can't say the Jetta platform is terrible, and that there are certainly better platforms to build on, but if everyone had the same shit, we might as well all be in NASCAR doing left hand turns!
For what it's worth, here's the story behind my car:

Alot of the pictures are broken, but I think you could follow the links to my photobucket if you feel the need to cyber-stalk.
i don't drag race though, and i realize what a poor platform it is blah blah blah... but find my many other engines that will take that much power on a stock shortblock and CLUTCH for 60k miles.... i enjoy the car a lot and that's what matters to me
Plugs, dirty air filter/fuel filter, the list goes on my friend.
my brother decided to take it out for a joy ride with some friends
in the rain
at 2 in the morning
down a twisty unlighted road.
it was prettier before
he was ok cause i had a roll cage installed.
he flipped it onto the roof and slide aways. nobody got hurt. he was just being an idiot.
that's cool. you don't seem to be a typical vw douche (1.8t never loses, etc.)...
I had a MkIV GTI w/ a VR6... it was always frustrating at how poorly it put even the limited power I had down. needless to say, very stark contrast to what I drive currently...

Any other mods?
