The value of a build thread
Starting this build thread as well as my vortex build thread has turned out to helpful in many ways. Instead of just a local circle of friends involved you end up with way more people to comment, advise, and offer useful parts! Yesterday I met up with a fellow VW enthusiast who turned out to be an aficionado! I ended up leaving with so many useful parts to complete my GTI, some things I haven't even thought of yet! I ended up getting a corrado g60 radiator and dual fan setup, a G60 lower coolant pipe to give me room for the A/C compressor, A custom 2.5 in side exit exhaust, battery cables to move the battery to the trunk (like I do with all my FWD VWs), A mk3 intercooler and piping, a one off intercooler pipe custom for the mk2 setup, plus a lot more! Thanks again Jake if you read this! When I did my Jetta coupe ABA swap I didn't use the internet once, and if I did I would have done a few things differently, nothing I regret but once I get my GTI on the road the Jetta will be getting some minor improvements (ABF 16valve, CE2 cluster, etc.) Build thread = priceless
