RE: Replacing my B5 with a Jetta?
trust me im gonna try to do everything i can to get a B6 1.8T, and then get a sweet magnaflow exhuast and a chip on it. And hopefully if possible sway the wheels off the new car with my old one so i can keep my rims.
I decided im desperate but not that desperate. I mean i could always get a 2001 B5 1.8T if i had too. I may get a quote on fixing evrything (im thinking its gonna be around 3k thou b/c im guess all new bumper (1500), new gauge cluster (500) and then the normal service and labor.

i dont want another B5 thou, i want a B6, the magnaflow exhuast on it sounds amazing, i have the Stage 3+ turbo option for when i get bored plus its a stiffer chassis/ body and its nicer inside. And newer

What about a B5 S4 with somewhat high mileage? I've contemplated all this so much before buying my car so I was probably in the same boat as you. Althought I knew if I was getting a 1.8T; it had to be a B6, if it was gettin an S4, it was going to be a B5 with high mileage (for financial reasons) and if it was a VW, it had to be a GLI.. IMO I'm not a fan of GTI's at all but the Getta conversion def looks good.

Does anyone have any input on jettas. Im looking for like a 2001-2004 Jetta with the 1.8T in it. Of course manual.
Any ideas, i mean how girly is this car? I know by me usually only girls drive them. Also i see that they have a K04 for this car that will give it 245 hp an d285 lbs/ft TQ, is that the same that a B5 1.8T gets with a K04?
