**smokedA2** · 08-02-2005 10:25 PM

what a pain in the ass

**TheSSG** · 08-02-2005 10:39 PM

On my Younger Brother's Golf, we've been:

Dual Outlet Exhaust Manifold, Dual Downpipe, TT 2.25" exhaust
Getting the intake polished
Have a 270 Cam to go in
Lightweight lifters
AMS Chip is on the way (though UPS ****ed up, and switched his shipment w/ a VCR...)

BUT, we had to take a Hiatus to have my CRX's Crankshaft pulley kick our ass...

**monoaural** · 08-02-2005 10:39 PM

Added blue leds to my cluster, atempted to fix odometer, worked for 22 miles.

**ScrapeIfYourMexican** · 08-02-2005 10:51 PM

fitted the 20v rail on the new motor.

some of this...

a lot of that...

and everything else.

but hooray for Digifant 16v.

**6speed16v** · 08-02-2005 10:56 PM

I tried to find the cheapest place for parts for my swap.

I looked at germanautoparts.com, bmaparts.com, autotechparts.com.

Looks like I'm ordering my waterpump from german auto parts.

I repaired a tire and my monza exhaust came in the mail today.Im kinda dissapointed in the quality of this product came a little chiped up, paint on resonator looks as if it was placed in the bag while still tacky.The welds do not look profetional.Other than that looks good cant tell whats on the inside.i cant wait to hear how it sounds.......sorry i had to vent to someone about the way i feel about it

Sorry to hear that. I've heard good things about Monza.

**Wasatch VR6** · 08-02-2005 11:32 PM

I washed my car and took my daughter to her first day in kindergarten in it. Got lot's of weird looks from other parents in minivans and suv's.

**bassman1987** · 08-02-2005 11:34 PM

Made procedures to buy another one, coming in friday!

**SilberBora02** · 08-02-2005 11:37 PM

I mocked up my phonedials since my adapters just arrived yesterday (BIG

to MotorsportTech ) Re-hung my exhaust since the rubber hangers on the muffler snapped. And contemplated whether or not I really want to sell the damn car and start over with the ratcoupe

**BubbleBLOCK** · 08-02-2005 11:38 PM

I just received a brand spanking new 11" brake conversion for it.

**PassArt** · 08-02-2005 11:48 PM

Just looked at it, sitting all sad and lonely on the side of my house. It's awaiting completion of it's VR swap. (1 1/2 years and running), gotta get the wiring sorted. (I got a 16 month old boy and an 8 month along pregnant wife, so I don't have much time these days)

Damn, I want to get it finished.

**candyapplebluemk2** · 08-02-2005 11:52 PM

Fixed my damn cat. converter which fell off the other day and did a DIY smoked tail light job.

**lowprofile** · 08-03-2005 12:09 AM

Today I polished the lip of my new old 15" X 7" RDs, maybe in a cpuple days I'll paint the center and detail the caps.
pic before polished

Last minute:
I buyed 4 BBS RA wheels, they appear to be from a Helios Jetta and it was a very nice deal. The question is: should I repaint them? they are in excellent shape, but I don't have an Helios...

they are like this:

GTI: Test fitted the motor, stripped the motor down. Had my fabricator redo the combustion bowls, installed the Spec stage 3 kit, Sand blasted the enginebay, installed the new tie rods, balljoints and new rack, bead blasted my 11" G60 calipers in prep for caliper paint, sand blasted my MK4 rear calipers, re routed my guages, did some wire hiding magic , Disassembled my turbo in prep for ceramic coating and some polishing

VR6: on engine stand: stripped, hot tanked, reamed....basicly rebuilding from the ground up, bead blasted the enitire rack in prep for powdercoat, labeled VR6 harness, stripped and cleaned rear beam. This will be my winter project soon as i find a MK1 to drop it in

Washed the bird **** off the roof. I swear, the next time Sesame Street Live is in town, I'm gonna punch Big Bird in the beak.

**JettaMatt** · 08-03-2005 12:47 AM

Fixed a small exhaust leak. Then I rubbed her a little.

**VW-BMW** · 08-03-2005 12:57 AM

I sprayed some Simple Green on my tranny that is laying on the garage floor. Then I walked away.

**b00st1n** · 08-03-2005 01:01 AM

I replaced by old bumper...kind of. I guess two out of six bolts are good enough. Why can't a new bumper just fit? It would make it too easy I guess.

**robs91jett** · 08-03-2005 01:07 AM

towed over the mk3 donor car....stealing the 2pointslow before i ship the shell out to anyone willing to pay a small chunk and tow it away. then i started tearing apart the front end.

i needed a break by dusk so i went on a little night-time photoshoot. i swear im getting better at this night time thing....

**aintnowookie** · 08-03-2005 01:12 AM

I just looked at my GTI today.

I'm waiting until this weekend, I'm picking up a new exhaust (it currently has none). I'm also going to fix the rear hatch lock, passenger door handle, and driver side window regulator. Then my friends I will be driving the hell out of it! A2's rule!

**utn** · 08-03-2005 01:58 AM

I ripped out my dash board, center console and knee bar in an attempt to fix all the wiring issues I gots (haven't really started fixing anything yet, just tore it all out). But I'm on my way!

**Gans** · 08-03-2005 01:59 AM

I knocked the trumpet out of my airbox with a hammer and discovered that the ol 8v can sound pretty sweet.

**eldo** · 08-03-2005 02:11 AM

**heathens** · 08-03-2005 02:15 AM
