Hey I'm Mike, I've been trolling here for quite a while now. Figured since I'll be sticking around (cause internet sarcasm and other "serious business") doesn't scare me off ;)

I have a 2000 VW Jetta 5spd diesel. I love it, it gets 56 mpg on the highway with cruise on 70. I average about 48 around town (driving modest), and beating the snot out of it making every light my quarter mile (which is all the time, ask anyone that knows me) I get 44mpg.

The car had 350,000 miles on it before I pulled the head and pistons/rods to inspect before going for a big build. I had the head ported and a "race cam" installed and bolted the bottom end back together with only new rod bearings and rings. Ran the car for another 30k (blowing multitudes of turbos like double digit quantity). Finally after enough shrapnel going through the motor the number 1 pistons called it quits exiting out the exhaust and destroying another turbo and rendering the car undriveable at 380,000 miles.

The car sat for almost a year as I pieced it back together with new rods, pistons, and a rebuilt head. Now the car has been on the road a little over 6 months. Runs great makes no power and has another 20k miles on the frame. The block and crank are still original though! I clicked past 400,000 miles earlier this week and I hope to get another 400k miles out of him (he goes by the code name "Jett Blue")

I'll get some pictures of him later as most the pictures I have are of him on jacks or with the motor out of the car haha.

Cheers guys! Look forward to meeting some of you!

Well, our jankwerks page has lots of broken pictures of him. But, I need to get Kyle, or Matt to snap a few quick shots of the good ol' boy sometime here. He's usually covered in soot so he has high sex appeal with all the ladies =P
