This Project Car Has Serious Potential

For $7,000, Does This 2003 VW Jetta Wagon Make You Unic-Horny?

Here we have just such a wagon, a 2003 Jetta with a breathed upon 1.8-litre turbo four and a five-speed manual transmission. 


So it’s an old Jetta wagon with a turbo and a stick, so what, right? Well, first off, please note that the car is being offered up on the VW Vortex forums, which means that it should be considered as a very serious Vee-Dub.

It comes with a bunch of expected engine enhancements, including an AEM cold air intake, side-mount interooler and red top coil packs—ahh the VW coilpacks—as well as new motor mounts, hoses, timing belt and water pump. It also has a new starter and battery. Woot!

R.I.P. - Hasegawa - san

Hiroyuki Hasegawa, 1945 — 2016

Hiroyuki Hasegawa, co-founder and the “H” of renowned Japanese tuning house HKS, has passed away at the age of 71.

A former Yamaha engineer, Hasegawa founded HKS in October, 1973 in a small shed at the base of Mt Fuji in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture. With a mission to develop an “original racing engine” for the Japanese aftermarket, HKS set out to create high-performance engine components beyond what automakers were willing to produce.
