project ’90 jetta

i’ve started fixing up my ’90 vw jetta.  it started last may when i purchased the car from a so called vw tech.  it has taken until just recently to work out the runability glitches that have hound this car.  not sure there all exorcised yet, but close.  actually, i had given up on the car altogether, feeling that it was financially unfeasible and i was just not in love with the car anyway.  well that changed and i decided to look into upgrading the suspension.  so i ended up going with fk’s 60/40 cup kit.  inexpensive, but it had all the components i would need.  the 60/40 mm drop it was supposed to provide was clearly understated as the final ride height ended up nearer 80/60.  clearance for the tires became an issue an d so did tires.  inspecting the existing tires, i noted that they were 195/60-14′s.  well, should be rolling 185/60′s so next stop tire shop.  michelin’s pilot exalto a/s would fill the bill nicely and has worked well since they were installed and compliment he suspension well.  now we’re rolling tough and looking cool as part of the dub nation.  next step:  exhaust renevation
