150k isn't bad for a car that old; take care of it and you'll get quite a few more out of it. :)

Quite possibly. I've already began to look for another car just in case though. I only run it on premium gas and taken every step possible to keep my engine and transmission clean and working.

Premium gas for a 4 cylinder doesn't really help.  Save your money and get regular  ;)  Premium gas is more "suitable" to be used for higher performance engines.

I likes the premium gas more though lol creates a smoother ride and I don't worry as much with it. Once gas gets above 3.00$ I'll downgrade however.

Probably the best car I've ever driven. It's the replacement for my wrecked Honda, and I must say I'm far happier. I've won 3 races with it and have so much planned to boost that performance.

"boost" as in turbo?  If so, good luck finding a good aftermarket one.  Turbos are usually only made for the GTIs and R32s.

I've seen some Turbo's for the 2.0 jetta platform, but they're expensive as hellfire and the labor costs would be out the ass too.

and my new ca m15a4 sportline looks likes yours and im probaaly going to get the same spring as yours but im going to get a higher battery than yours MAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH ;D
and the gun will detonate like a cheap grenade....
dont push a sportline too much, the gearbox/gears are NOT standard CA stuff.
ours is a hybrid...true ca gearbox 6mm...sportline one over heated and warped. have dom due a tuneup on yor internals before you get a big suprise....

as for shatty's jetta...get a supercharger, if they still make them, i had a 86 gti back in the day...beat the hell out of it. as for premium gas....get a case of no lead 104 octane boost.

That is the reason I like G&G Sportlines.

I'm sure they do, they'll just be hard to find. I put octane boost in a week ago and I wont put anymore in until after my oil gets changed on the 15th. I'm getting some of the cheaper performance upgrades like cold air intake and some new spark plugs and air filters. Not much of an HP boost but it'll def help. My friend's dad works at HKS (www.hksusa.com) and he could hook me up with atleast the spark plugs.

New stuff for my KWA M4 RIS!
I picked up Dominum's ACOG. It's pretty cool, but I want to test it out this weekend  :D

Oh yeah, my front sling mount is gone, and I have a KWA 2G bucking back in the hop-up. The selector switch is back to normal, also.

From the pictures the King Arms ACOG looks plastic and a sort of gray... but it looks flat black in real life. The flash on my camera made things look weird.
