i was born and raised in Reykjavik. moved to Boston in 1997 and have lived there since... in that time ive owned, built, destroyed alot of cars
i buy a car do my thing to it then a couple months later i get bored with it sell it and start again... it drives my mother crazy. im a huge fan of the german built cars vw,audi,bmw,porsche and benz mostly. i could never afford a porsche so i stuck mostly to the vw/audi scene. i got really into the ''euro'' scene in the usa. ive owned so many vws in the past 3 years i dnt even have pics of them all... a short list would look something like this.... 1995 vw jetta vr6
1996 vw jetta vr6 --- still have the motor
1994 vw gti vr6
2001 vw passat 1.8 turbo
1990 vw mk2 gti 16v ----- still own
1992 vw mk2 jetta gli 16v
1988 vw scirocco 16v ---still own
2002 vw bora 2.0
2001 vw bora tdi
then last year i got really sick of dumping tons of money and time into these tiny little motors making a maximum of MAYBE 290hp at best. not to mention they are all FWD so even with the little power you get out of them after thousands of dollars and countless time you cant do anything with it hahaha.
my solution was a 1996 ford f350. with a 7.3L turbo diesel. so i went to work. long story short i started with a trans. so i could put the power down i went with a fully built custom made 6 speed automatic transmition billet input and output shafts torque and converter that cost more than most vtech civics ive seen here
i thenstarted on the motor. first the internals i just did new pistons and forged rods and crankshaft. then went with a big fueling setup and HUGE injectors. then came the turbo a turbo the size of a gt38 but with banks quick spool internals. custon tuning from DPTUNER lets me switch between 12 different possitions of tunes while driving. lots of other things were done aswell but im lazy and hate typing so this is all u get for the ford. but never the less im only a few hp short of 600hp to the wheels. this ''old shitty ford'' smokes a stock sti. takes the stage 2 wrx and a stock evo8. also has beaten a corvette zo6, gt mustang ect its stupid fast ran a 12.46 in the 1/4 and these trucks are not light....
off to my baby. the car ive owned since i was 14 and never plan on selling. its a 1992 vw jetta gli. its came with a 2.0 16v from factory. needless to say i rips this car apart and rebuilt EVERYTHING. the motor is now a 2.2l 16v with JE high compretion pistons forged rods crank ect. big valve upgrade with titaniom springs and retainers full port and polish matching exhaust to intake. built close ratio 16v trans with short thro shifting kit and a diesel 5th gear. stage 2 sachs clutch. full exhaust from bosal headers to a techtonics tuning catless exhast to a borla muffler.
the interior is rerwaped recaros gli steering wheel black suede headliner and new carpets also removed the stupid manual cranking sunroof device and installed a motor from an older audi so it now has an electric sunroof intead of *** cranking one.
the car is also newly repainted its original porsche red.
the car sits on raceland coilovers and a big brakeing kit. and had sportmax 501s on it wich ive now imported for my e30..
the gli has had so mmuch money and time put into it its crazy.. this car has never seen snow. always packed up and sits in a heated garage over the winter months.
those two are really the only cars i feel like writing about you can always ask me about otheres if youd want.
most of the pictures i have of these cars are on my computer in boston but i have a select few here that i will share with you guys.
here is the mk2 gli
a couple more

this e30 is going to get a shit load of changes...
