Geoff is bored, so here's a timeline....running. 56k grab a drink.

[.Mad Hatter.]

Thanks Marc, not much has gone on, and I have some projects lingering but I am too busy with work and just enjoying the car to care. I am picking up a daily this Friday that was too good to pass up, it will be a winter beater/daily for now.

In the meantime:

[James Himself]

Such a good picture

W hatkind of a daily?

[.Mad Hatter.]

B3 Passat CL with a VR swap

[James Himself]

That should be fun, lovely engine, but dead ugly car imo

[.Mad Hatter.]

But it's a wagon! lol. I am only doing this now vs. right before winter because the swap is solid, the car literally needs a headlight and front rotors and it will safety, and the car is very solid, anything else this price is rotted to hell.

[bryangb]

But it's a wagon!

I love those. Perfect daily driver

[MarcMiller]

Just enjoy it man. Im hoping after i get my wheels back and tires i can focus on maintainence. I hate driving my car knowing theres things that need to be fixed. Im hoping by end of summer my cars fully up to date on everything and i can work on more stuff to blow my money on.

I seen you posted about fixing your fender lips/painting them/rust-proofing them. How bad are yours and how long have they been messed up? Still stressin a little over my fender paint chipping from the fender roll. I was told nail polish helps...like clear nail polish.

[bryangb]

I have clear nail polish on my rears from the flaking due to rubbing

[.Mad Hatter.]

My fenders are fine, they were bought new a year ago but I trimmed them slightly. I painted my repair area and the prime/paint are holding up fine so I'm actually going to leave it.

[MarcMiller]

Geoff are you a Blue Jay's fan? Lol

[.Mad Hatter.]

lol not really...we go to games now and then because it's like 2 bucks, haha

But it's a wagon! lol. I am only doing this now vs. right before winter because the swap is solid, the car literally needs a headlight and front rotors and it will safety, and the car is very solid, anything else this price is rotted to hell.

You bought a b3 wagon??? Wow I hate you right now That's seriously 1 of the 2 cars I want to get next

[fbm93]

feel like your car needs cage and race seats. that kinda picture....

looks cool as hell though.

[.Mad Hatter.]

One day it will probably have 1 or both of those things, but not yet

[DeathLens]

[Lazer Viking]

nice video matt

geoff, car is perfect as always

[.Mad Hatter.]

Thanks brah.

The only real change is the 3" exhaust...which apparently throws off the mic. haha.

[Lazer Viking]

i thought it sounded louder... what muffler are you running now ?

[.Mad Hatter.]

It's now a full 3" stainless system to a Magnaflow muffler with a 3" pipe and twin tips after the muffler.

[MarcMiller]

Video was awesome matt.


Geoff your car is perfect. Do you have the ebay shortshifter?

[Lazer Viking]

and i will say, everytime i see the front of your car i regret blacking out my front mount

[fbm93]

So good Geoff!
I like the yellow hids too.

[MarcMiller]

So good Geoff!
I like the green hids too.

Fixed

[thepirate]

Geoff.....love it.

I envy your CEL free cluster

[NickBroderick]

3000k's ftmfw

that video was awesome and just adds to my itch to make a cool vid.

[ineedwheels]

pics of the exhaust?

It tucks under neither your car well for a full 3inch

[Stouph79B5]

Great vid man! Ur car looks good

[.Mad Hatter.]

Thanks all. 3000k HIDs are already out, lol.

I do have the ebay shortshifter

The guys tucked the exhaust well (by request), their shop is about 20 feet from my buddies so we chat with them often. The guy who did it has a track prepped Lexus IS.

[OntITTech]

Looking awesome Geoff, The B5 class is going to be tough this year at Vagkraft. My only hope to place again this year is if we get enough to keep the classes and the Passat's separate LOL

[.Mad Hatter.]

Wait, the Passats get judged with us? LAME!

I registered today, it said Audi A4/S4/RS4 (I still think it's dumb we get judged with S4's)

Did you still want that Valve Cover and IM? I still have them if you do, I can bring them to Vagkraft.

[OntITTech]

It all depends on the number of cars registered. They classed all the B5 Audi's together last year, instead of using the Stock/Mod 1/Mod 2 so I was up against that Stage 3+ S4 out of New York, but still somehow managed to come out with a 3rd.

[.Mad Hatter.]

Nice! They better not do that this year, ****ers....haha.

I'm looking forward to it though, either way it should be a great turnout.

[OntITTech]

and regarding the IM and valve cover, I'll let you know. I'm in need of a turbo a little more immediately LOL. Mine is headed out fairly quickly. I've eaten through 3L of oil in 5500KM :p

[colinisneat]

Awesome video, great music to go with it, and as always your car is one of my favorite B5's.

[Papa_Dios]

Nice car I think it's cool that you and your bro are into B5's. I wish I could get my brother out of the Honda phase, with as much as he's put into that damn thing he'd have a pretty legit A4.
