Steves Garage's rides

I've owned the car since January 2012, and have slowly done maintenance upgrades along the way. It's been a daily, so I haven't been able to go too extreme, but with the addition of my Volvo, I'm hoping to take the modding up a notch!

Car as it sits now:

GIAC X+ tune 

14lb single mass flywheel with mild race clutch, 

Techtonics Tuning 2.5in exhaust

Koni Yellow struts with Eibach lowering springs

Upgraded Stop-Tech pads and rotors

I think I spotted your car at the Home Depot on northwestern hwy. do you have a MIVE sticker on the back window?

I do! That was definitely me. I live right around the corner so I'm there all the time.

Nice ride! You can't beat having a wagon as a daily.

Definitely! It's come in handy quite a bit for the time I've owned it.

Good daily don’t see many of these

It was a great daily. Did a lot of highway miles too, and it's not bad for a small car. With a set of snow tires it was unstoppable in the winter.

Looks fun, those 1.8ts were great motors

Honestly, I love the car and never want to sell it. It needs some cosmetic work, but mechanically it's great.

Woah is this the 20v?

Posted by diyauto on 1/1/20 @ 6:22:04 PM

It is a 20v AWP engine, 5spd manual. It currently has a GIAC X+ tune with lightweight clutch and flywheel along with a turbo back exhaust. Not the fastest thing on the road, but fast enough to surprise people coming from a VW wagon.
