Hello All! I am Nic (screen name Driftphantom) down here in sunny California. Fresh out of university, I work in an office as ordinary desk jockey. After a few weeks of searching for a good daily, I settled on this mint 02 VW Bora v6 with 87,500 miles. This was a garage kept car all its life, so the paint and interior are pretty good nick. This car came out to V$6,400 which may have been a little pricy but oh well haha. 3/12/16- Purchased Car Spoiler: Year: 2002 Make: VW Model: Bora v6 Trans: MT

Always loved Vdubs, you're making me want one.

Driftphantom

@[deleted] Thanks bro I hope it comes out nice!

@[deleted] for the right price, and this one can be yours 😉 its freshly Painted lol just ask for specs if you are interested (Basque Red Pearl)

The Jetta is now fresh out of paint and looking pretty fresh if I do say so myself. She has been coated in Honda Basque Red Pearl, but with less Metallic in the paint. I am in love with this color, I just need wheels to set it off perfectly:

Sometime I wonder how I get out of my driveway 😃

Now for some good new for those in the market for a new car. I am now officially posting the supra up for sale, Check out my add in the Used car thread

That can't be too fun, letting a car go. Anyways, the VW is looking really nice. Too nice, infact. I think I'm becoming a tad jealous. I might have to buy a Volkswagen... Any recommendations on models I should search for?

Benny

Phantom remember when you bought the supra I said can't wait to see it done, I would never imagine that a bit later I would own her. Thanks for the sell man I appreciate it. It will be my daily too since the HCR32 has some minor engine problems and don't money to fix it now so when I get more money I will fix and tune up the HCR32 to race Harrisons R33 😉 The Jetta is comming nice. I love the color

Why not buy a MK2 Golf and put a Honda K engine in it

Driftphantom

@Phonexius oh yeah that was you! Yeah she is back up to at least factory spec the supra was such a good daily I am glad it has gone to an owner who will appreciate it. She was an excellent daily

@FlyingBrick I recommend picking up a golf or finding an old Karman Gina to work on, that would he amazing!

Thank you to the both of you for the compliments on the car. She has a few more goodies she needs before completion

5/9/16- Payday!

I Got new wheels today! after what feels like weeks of riding on the stockies, I finally got my hands on these Weds Kranze LXZs in 18x10.5. these are second hand, but were polished and cleaned up before the sale. with tires, these cost me a smooth V$3,000. Right now I have the car set to factory settings from when I did the test fit earlier today. now I am on the way to the alignment shop to see what kind of numbers we can get. Feel free to let me know your thoughts lol:

V$13,940-3000= V$10,940

Benny

I really like it the rims fitted it superb. Now slamm it and don't put too much camber and it will be perfect for perfect 😉

Lagano

Man, you have some very expensive rims there, and they are beautiful. Where did all the camber go though? 😃

Driftphantom

@Phonexius It wouldn't be my car without an abundance of camber 🙂)

@[deleted] Thank you man! the Camber is back lol

5/11/16-

Back home from the alignment shop and after taking a day to settle the car I'm out for a drive. I know you guys missed the ridiculous fitment, so let me drop some numbers on you. The Front is sitting at -5.5 degrees like before, but now the rear sits at -7.5 😃 simply loving it.

as it sits I am currently looking for a new daily or project to work on. I am looking in particular for an Aristo/Gs300 if you guys have a lead on one let me know! I am not opposed to trades either lol

Benny

Well you should go for smaller rims and tires if u go whit that much camber would be better

5/14/2016- End of the Line

Today marks another sad day at my house. Over the past couple of days, I have been sorting out a sale on the Jetta. Every man has a price, and for the Jetta that price was V$9,000 due to the wheels and all the custom suspension work that went into the car. The Vw enthusiast in question was looking for VR6 Jetta with the Factory Manual transmission. He wasn't a fan of my fitment (as most people aren't lol) so I had to Return the car to factory settings before he picked it up. Am I sad to see it go? maybe. but it is time for a new stanced project or even a car to skid in. Till then, it is back to carpooling with a co-worker. Here is the final picture as she driving away:

V$10,940+9,000= V$19,940

02 VW Jetta (custom)

5/15/16- New Car

Well guys, I am happy to say that the next Project has finally made it! It was a terribly expensive buy, but I present to you my 2013 Scion Frs:

I picked this bad boy up for V$18,000 with 21,454 miles on the clock. It is the 6-speed trans. The only "mods" so far are the Jdm Toyota badges, which I was going to do anyways 😃 I am happy, here are 2 more pics from when I went to pick it up

V$19,940-18,000= V$1,940 Spoiler: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/666575296/overview/

A hefty toll but the car is worth it. I got this from a dealer so later on today I should have the Plates transferred over from the Jetta to this beast. I will update later on today when I pick up my check and put the plates on!

JUDAS_MENTOR

Nice come up on that FRS! It'll look good on some coilovers and wheels.

Benny

Never saw that one comming from a Jetta to a FR-S. Very nice buy, make it a touge car

marcus915

Damn! You'll really be able to throw that FR-S around, enjoy it man. If you want a set of Works or any kind of Jap wheel, hit me up and I'll see what I can do for you.

Lagano

You got a good deal for an almost new car! You just need some nice wheels for it and it will be beautiful. 🙂
