Introduction

Winter 2010 I went to pick up a Calypso Green Jetta MK2 1.8 Syncro. In the first years I experimented with some Corrado Angel Eyes, MK4/TT dash and LCD displays around. But over the years, I have felt more and more love for the original styling from VW. So from Audi TT dashboard with fancy gauges, I have landed on MK2 OEM dashboard with digifiz gauges. It will be a subtle but fast vw, with lots of cool details

Rebuild:

  • Complete repair of the chassis.
  • Black VW Paint
  • 2.8L VR6 Turbo ~300hp
  • MK3 VR6 Syncro Differential/Gearbox/Shafts
  • H&R G2/G3 Syncro Coilovers
  • Recaro Jetta interior (perfect shape :p)
  • 90's Front and Rear bumper
  • GTI Trim
  • Porsche 911 style rear end with dual exhaust exits :D
