Nice Tito. Great thread. Love that pic at the beginning on the bridge. Such a hot GLI. I can't wait until you are hauling around in that thing. Say it with me... FIVE POINT HARNESS... Did you say it???? I knew it.

Thanks J! 5 point might entice me to do bad things. I don't want this car to make me evil like the Rocco did, which by the way just got a 2.0 injection :twisted: Gonna try to put in a good long day today providing the boss lets me. Getting so damn close I can taste it :mrgreen: There are so many little things to do on a VR swap, its kinda overwhelming. I guess I did not realize what I was getting into. Shooting for a test drive Sunday.

Took a couple of very successful test runs today. What a hoot!!! Looks like putting the front back on will be tricky using the Passat radiator.

Glad you held onto the dice. The blue Jetta looks great on those little turbines too! I don't think you need a harness to make you :twisted: in a VW. Nice try though... :lol:

Actually roadhog, I ended up using a cutting wheel. But close :mrgreen: J, not only are the dice cool but they balance my mirror so it does not flop down. :thumbsup: . And thanks vrtpassat! I put 115 miles on it today without any real issues. I still don't have wiring for the radiator, interior is a mess, and the lower valance is not on yet. But I gotta say its one of the funnest cars I've driven. Hauls ass!

Thanks to everyone that has lent a hand! :beer: :beer: :beer:

Gotta chance to see and hear this bad boy run the other night! Really nice, super clean swap! :thumbsup:
Glad to hear your CEL is still off, and I'll be calling you about the inverter. Thanks!
