• The TDIClub classifieds section is a heavily trafficked section of the forum that encompasses want-to-buy (WTB) and for-sale (FS) threads for the entire world. Due to the demanding nature and fast pace of this section, it is imperative that you know and understand the rules. It is also important to remember that this is the only parts classifieds section.

    Cross-posting and posting classifieds in the regional sections (except the dedicated thread in Ontario) is not permitted.

    Multiple items should be sold in one thread. Make sure to provide a description for all items in your post along with pictures and prices. If you start multiple threads with individual items, they will be locked or combined at the discretion of the moderators.

    Here is a quick outline of the classifieds section rules. If you don't follow these rules, you subject yourself to thread deletion, thread combination, infractions, or posting privilege revocation.

    Thread titles:
    • Put FS or WTB in your thread title. This will let other users know if you are selling or buying.
    • Briefly describe what you are selling. Thread titles have limited space. Be as descriptive, yet succinct, as possible.
    • Put your location in the title.
    • If space allows, put your price in the title

    Title example (single item): "FS: 2004 Mk4/BEW cylinder head - Portland, OR - $500"
    Title example (multiple items): "FS: MK6 fog lights, front bumper, headlights, grill - Detroit, MI"
    Title example (car part-out): "FS: Mk3 Jetta parting out engine & interior - Dallas, TX"

    Thread text descriptions and pictures:
    • All for-sale threads must include pictures of the items that you are selling. One picture is sufficient, but multiple pictures with different angles will help buyers. A picture is worth a thousand words. If you don't know how to post pictures on TDIClub, see this thread: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=286691
    • All for-sale threads must include a description. We don't charge per-word, so be as descriptive as possible. The more information you can provide, the easier it will be for buyers.
    • All for-sale threads must include a price. Auctions and bidding are not allowed. If you want to auction something off, use eBay.
    No picture, no price, NO SALE!

    Thread maintenance/updates/bumps:
    • When you sell something, update your thread with "SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title.
    • If you have multiple items for sale, update your thread as each item has been sold. When everything has been sold, updated the thread with "ALL ITEMS SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title when all items have been sold.
    • If you bump your thread, please delete old bumps by clicking on EDIT and then deleting the old bump. This will reduce clutter in your thread and make it easier to read. It also makes you look less desperate.
    • If you drop your price, please update your first post in addition to posting the new price. If you would like the thread title changed, click on the report post icon and let a moderator know what you would like the title changed to.

    Moderator intervention and infraction points:
    Moderators will be monitoring the classifieds section. If a moderator determines that you have not been following the rules listed above, corrections will be made and infraction points will be assessed to your account.

    What is an infraction point? Simple - it's a system of keeping track of user behavior. A moderator can assign a point value based on the severity of the infraction, as well as an expiration date on the points assessed. If you accumulate a certain number of points, the system will auto-ban you for a predefined amount of time. The more points you accumulate, the longer your ban period will be.

    One example of points is as follows: multiple threads will be combined into a single thread, with the number of infraction points assessed corresponding to the number of threads merged. If we merge four threads into one, then you will be assessed four points that expire in 30 days. When you reach five points, the system will auto-ban you for one day.*

    *This is an example based on the current infraction system structure. We reserve the right to modify the infraction system at any time without notice or updates to this announcement.

    Thank you for your cooperation, and good luck with your sales and searches! :)

***** SOLD *****

I am selling the 2" lift from my wife's New Beetle. It is the full setup we ran when we took it to Moab, Death Valley, Pikes Peak, Alaska etc... It consists of taller+stiffer front springs mounted on 4 Bilstein HD shocks. We ran this setup for approximately 71,00 miles. It allowed us to easily clear a set of 205/70R15 General Grabber A/T tires, and with a bit of heat gun work to the fender liners we were able to run 215/75R15 BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2 tires with minor rubbing on the fender liners when turned full lock and some on the spring perches of the front struts as well. I'm asking $900 as-is or $1,050 with new Seat Cupra R front strut rubber & bearings installed.

Here are some pics of the car with this suspension installed:
Moab Utah:

Entering Titus Canyon in Death Valley California:

Pike's Peak Colorado:

Top Of The World Highway in Alaska:

Crossing the Yukon River in the Yukon Territory, Canada:

The top of the Atigun Pass, Jut past Oh Sh$% Corner, over the Brooks Range, on the Dalton Highway (Haul Road) in Alaska:

Somewhere in Vacaville CA ;))


This should work quite well on a Golf or Jetta MK4 as well, but not on the jetta wagon as the rear wouldn't lift a wagon at all.

That has to be the sweetest beetle I've ever seen!!!!
Thanks!

*off topic* what kind of MPG are you getting running those bigger tires?

Typically 42 with the air off when I'm not abusing it and 39 with the air on 100% of the time and driving it like I'm running from the law. :D - It's also got 375,000+ miles on the motor, a 17/22, Nozzles etc though too.

Here is all the info:

Bump. Just picked up lots of new parts so we can start building the new lifts. Be the first to own the original lift!!

The Lift Kit has been sold and installed! :) I now have 3 of the new custom lifts running around accumulating miles and will get more manufactured. It won't be real quick, but proper lifts for any MK4 will be readily available in the near future. It's been a rough road :p but we're almost there! :D

Best mpg on something running mud tires that I've ever seen. I used to own a lifted Blazer that got 14 mpg COMBINED. :eek:

I sold that thing and never looked back. I cried every time I pulled into a gas station. (Not kidding)

Want that for my wagon, but it has stupid Traction/Stability control :(
I am not convinced that is a real problem, my understanding and personal opinion is that just happened to be a legal concern for a certain supplier due to an "incident" with one of their clients?

edit: disclaimer: any modifications to your vehicle may send you sideways into a ditch.

Yeah well "duh" on that one but it's probably not the mod but the operator :) I drive lifted 4x4's before the jetta so I understand the center of gravity will change and you should not drive a lifted vehicle like an F1 car :)

Well that's really good news.. I thought it caused the ESP to malfunction somehow :)

if you look through out the forum people also do JSW springs in the back and VR6 springs in the front and that almost gets you 2inches
