thygreyt

Racekor.
just wanted to say hello to you all.

while i dont own a mk6, i have a mkv 2.5L.
the mk6 2.5L has changed much, so what i know still applies.

new on this forum... but a long time member on a whole bunch of others such as:
-jettamkv.com
-golfmkv.com
-vwvortex.com
-Vagscene.com
-vwownersclub.com
-tampaeuro.com
etc.

my car is a jetta mkv, with a GTI transmission (first guy to have done a automatic to 6 speed manual, and only one of the 2 6spd manuals in the world)

pics of the car and current project:
