i wouldnt doubt it. i love cheap cars, if they suck they suck, big deal it was cheap. if they turn out to be awesome, you just made out.

and unlike the typical mk4 owner who stances his car with 300 dollar coilovers, i have slowly began replacing everything mechanical in the car. all new brakes, suspension components, timing chains, gaskets, water pump, etc etc. its not a looker but its perfect in its own way. i try to do a good amount of it myself too. i did the chains last sunday. took me a day but the satisfaction you get makes it worth it

the negative equity on this b8 lol

Jupiteraudi · December 8, 2019, 2:27pm

B6/7 pics?

Love the fact 91gl had a set of long tubes!

The B8 is a big car compared to the B6/7’s.

I wish I had never sold my vr6 Jetta. Sold it sight unseen with 130k miles on it. Awesome car that I spent way too much money modifying like every other car since. Supercharged, full votex body kit, pss9’s, RH wheels. Last I heard she was still treating the new owner to hassel free operation.

Memories…

i was the second car with longtubes other than Captain Insano whos car they were built on.
the first with a JHM Clutch setup (stage 3, 4 was not out yet lol)
first with lightweight pulley
first with JHM intake manifold
first with the JHM BBK
third with nitrous even though i never sprayed it due to my chains
3rd or 4th with the JHM supercharger, dont remember exactly
etc etc lol

91gl · December 8, 2019, 2:27pm

yup this one is staying for the long haul. that vr is not exactly powerful but it is silky smooth.

beemercer · December 8, 2019, 2:27pm

x2, as long as I get it my next car is gonna cost me a bit over 1 paycheck lol

my car was running first with the IM, turkey

happy2b5 · December 8, 2019, 2:27pm

Miles?

Also just sold my daily 90 gli. Picking up a ur-s4 on Friday to replace it. 20vt here I come. Can’t wait.

Yes for a B6 your car looked really nice. I like B6 S4’s dont get me wrong I just would ditch the 4.2L for a 3.6L vr6 turbo as soon as i bought it… And your interior is perfect I have the same steering wheel in my car and love it! I love the B6 recaros I’ve sold about 33 sets to the B6 and B7 A4 guys second hand on some B6’s ive parted out!

sakimano · December 8, 2019, 2:27pm

You were both second and third after the JHM car

91gl · December 8, 2019, 2:27pm

True but beem you only finished first cuz kenny was going HAM porting my intake ports.

unless you are coasting down a hill, the b8 isnt that much better on gas. you litterally have to be barely touching the throttle or it sucks it down. and mine is stock. my b6 with longtubes and tune could do 18 mpg easy, sometimes being real light on the throttle i could see 20. my b8 is not much better especially being DI and two less cylinders. My mpg meter tells me in the b8 that i have 300 until empty and ill realistically get 180. at least my b6 didnt lie to me, it knew what it was.

interior might look nicer but in terms of feel and material is much cheaper in quality overall. in a daily driven car which my b8 is not anymore (my underpowered, archaic mk4 gti vr6 does 8 mpg’s better per mile than it) the b6’s interior is a much nicer place to be. much better made, much sturdier feeling, the b8 doesnt compare. i own(ed) both, so please stop trying to tell me about my cars lol

saki was teasing me in another thread about if I’d bought a B8 yet. I seriously thought about it. Took one for a test drive, thought it was pretty cool, handled very nicely, all shiny and new.

91 just listed a bunch of reasons (esp about the interior) that I didn’t pull the trigger. That and I cleaned up the B6 to list it for sale privately… cleaned it up so well it was like new so I kept it for myself lol.

65vetteC6 · December 8, 2019, 2:27pm

33 sets!?

91gl I see you posted the car on the zine, good luck

8URV8 · December 8, 2019, 2:27pm

Yeah i had a source of them big guy out in newyork parting them out!

SpeedETC · December 8, 2019, 2:27pm

I am not the only one. I had a mk3 Jetta VR6 which I got rid of many years ago, but I wish I hadn’t. Murdered out, modded out, SCed. We still tell the stories about it to this day…

If I could get rid of this damn b8 I would

ewww B8 is 10x nicer then b6

Hmm, a year in with this b8 and as the days go by, the more I miss the b6. You only base your lust for cars based on speed. I was like that too when I was 17.

Comfort wise and looks the B8 is light years ahead of the B6 period… I dont even care for speed in that type of car it gets better mpg and is a better daily driver. Your not doing anything more in either car then daily driving it.

Did you sell those long tubes? I’m enjoying your M/S, though I need to send them in for a re-build.
