Passat Progress, May 2010

When I bought my car last year I never intended for it to turn into a project but it looks like it is slowly turning into one. I’ve always loved cars and now I’m doing some of the stuff I’ve always wanted to do but never did before - things like tinting the windows, adding mad engine performance, aftermarket wheels, etc… The cool thing is that with the few things I’ve done I’ve still not spent but $1,400 or so on this stuff (over almost a year) - that includes tinting the windows, smoked front indicators, blacking out emblems, used 19″ wheels and tires and “chipping” the car (added ~50 HP and ~100 ft/lb torque). It just takes patience on finding sales and good deals.

Every time I look at the car now I think “needs moar low” - that wheel gap between the tires and the fenders is killing me! That’s next on my list, and probably the last major thing that’ll happen to the car.
