New wheels

Found a 5x100 16x7.5 et38 momo ferraris for cheap

205/45r16 on them with 10mm spacer in the back. I think I'll swap to 12.5mm or 15mm later and shim to correct the camber in the back but happy with the slightly oem+ fitment! On coilovers so tempted to go lower but I think this is the sweet spot.

Replaced PCV with catch can

Replaced broken leaky PCV with a cheap ebay catch can. Vacuum line from EVAP went straight to TB now. Catch can went to elbow and valve cover. It has a baffle and thought about adding steel wool but barely any oil was in the intake so not too worried.

The urge to EVAP and SAI delete is real lol need to make a wall around the intake or find oem box

98 gti vr6 (US)

Picked this up about a month ago. Only 110k miles on the 12v vr6.

So far I've replaced all the brake pads, rotors, hoses, wheel bearings, suspension, tie rods, ball joints, front hubs, rear caliper, parking brake cable, ABS sensors (light still on...) seat rail bushings

have it lowered a bit on solowerks coilovers

I have 10mm spacers coming for the rears and still need to get tires for these momo wheels 16x7.5

Planning on paint matching the bumper vent that replaced the fog lights and replace the rusty exhaust

Then just drive! My first car was a 95 gti vr6 so this is my 2nd go to do it right and not bounce all over the place cracking oil pans and power steering pumps hah
