that shift knob, the speakers and the exhaust tip remind me of the fast and the furious...

[vdubspeed]

damn...it actually looks pretty damn hardcore. I think that would be a sweet trade!

[brizower]

he did it... it's a snotty bitch. It needs some rice removal - mainly sound ****.

[vdubspeed]

SWEET!

I can't wait to see it when I get back!!!

[vdubspeed]

Went up to Nashville today in search of those rabbit trucks. I found one at a salvage yard that didn't have ANY other VW's!

It looked pretty beat so hopefully I can get it cheap. I just want to cut the bed off anyway. The good thing is it has some parts I don't need but could probably sell to help finance it.

Anyway...let's see some pics of the VR-T! I want a ride in it!!!

[brizower]

Well... Jason, I am going to put the strut tower brace in tonight for nate, I might need to borrow a drill-bit. I'll def. call you before we drop by though.

edit for sweet pic of a truck.

Yeah I really wanna see it. I had a 95 GLX back in the day. I would have liked to have kept it but it was an auto.

Anyway...leaving Busch Gardens today I found a place that was FULL of mk3/mk4's! I've never seen a shop/sales that was purely newer gen stuff.

Unfortunately the moped shop I knew off went out of business

Well that wraps it up for me.

[brizower]

sweet...I replaced the spark plugs in the Scirocco and I am still getting a misfire. I haven't popped the dizzy cap off to check it's condition yet though. Maybe I will take the mk4 to the track if it's not fixed.

[vdubspeed]

a little misfire won't hurt anything. It's not optimal but it shouldn't stop you from ripping that little bugger.

I got out of work early and set to work finding the source of the misfire.... I am going to say it's because the hall sender wire isn't secured into the hole in which it belongs and the wire keeps on grounding out on the distributor. Also, a new cap and rotor wouldn't hurt. Then it should be running tip-top.

update: I just drove the Scirocco around for 20 mins without any hint of a misfire.

Come on man, spill it.

I found a chipped ECU for my Jetta today for $300... but it's in Montreal. Same ECU code, so I am hoping it is the same thing.

good video Nathan. Glad they finally did a part 2. Part 1 is a ****in classic

[Pinball9818]

I know this is kinda off the subject, but does anyone know how difficult it would be for me to change my own front struts and strut bearings? I know I need an alignment afterwards, but I might be able to do it after hours at work on the lift and then drive just down the street to get an alighnment the next day...

[brizower]

It's cake - I've done mk3's a **** ton. You probably don't even need the special tool for it.

[vdubspeed]

Not hard at all.
Remove wheel,
remove strut
R&R it.

I saw one of your mk4's at the rim place yesterday. I was going to introduce myself but the lady and I were on a schedule.

Anyone going out tonight? I'd REALLY like to a see a mk3 turdblow there...HINT HINT HINT.

[brizower]

Yeah, We'll be there.

[PorscheAlbany]

hey, any of yall still coming up next weekend to albany?

[brizower]

fa'show. Anyone have a helmet I can use tomorrow?

[vdubspeed]

Leslie has a pink one in medium.

[brizower]

If you can ride a pink Pouche, I could rock a pink helmet. The size might not be large enough to accommodate my melon.
