1986 Jetta GLi prepared for the Challenge. As the car sits, we spent around $1900 with the NOS. A few more parts to sell and install the 2 liter ABA, turbo….

We made it for $2009. ——-Drivetrain——- - Stock motor with AC/PS removed - Solid motor mounts - TT exhaust from the junkyard w/ Cat removed - K&N Filter - Stock CIS-E fuel injection - Home brew catch can - Close ratio trans with Peloquin 80% shim kit - Missing Linkz shift kit with all new bushings ——-Brakes——- - Braided hoses - Metal Master Pads ——-Suspension——- - Bilstein Sport struts/shocks - Ebay coilovers, 450/572# springs - Poly/TT control arm bushings - Ebay strut bar - Home brew shock tower bar - EuroSport Camber plates - Poly rear shock bushings - EuroSport -1degree rear shims ——-Interior/Exterior——- - Gutted interior/trunk - Gti front seats - Heat removed - Euro front bumper/ Rear bumper lightened - 14” VW Snowflakes with old Hoosiers
