After 9-years and 230,000-miles...      What makes my '98 Jetta special besides the engine?  Nothing, if you believe your eyes.  I'm conservative.  Therefore, I don't like anything eye-catching on my car.  I think "stealth" when choosing modifications.  The car before you has an additional 50 whp and 100 lb/ft, vastly improved handling through suspension tuning, upgraded lighting, an upgraded stereo system, a hidden HF/VHF/UHF and AM/FM/SSB/CW/Data communications suite, and it acts as commuter car, workhorse, and weekend racer.  But you'd never know it by passing it on the street.  Although I'm not into the "Bling-Bling", I DO appreciate a car with improvements.  Read on to see what's beneath the skin of my Stealth TDI: Detailed Version, CONDENSED VERSION, or Full Spec Sheet.
