Cut two wires, splice together, and tuck. No warnings and no wires.

Awesome thanks will do this a little later today.

Grinded things down so I could go lower

**jsw_girl** · 08-05-2012 06:40 PM

got half of the rear mkvi seat installed in the jsw. Much harder then it sounds because the frame for the seat is WAY different from the jetta and a sportwagen

**cpopp** · 08-05-2012 06:55 PM

Put these on, do i need more - camber ?

**bryangb** · 08-05-2012 07:13 PM

Yes.... this reminds me of this.

Start tweaking it... Just keep going down until it's not sticking out.

Well lets see where to begin. This all took place2 weeks ago, yesterday and today.

Cam follower went out on me after i got the gti back from the paint shop because someone hit me in the parking lot at work. Ordered all parts need to fix. Ordered camshaft kit and water pump/timing belt kit from ecs tuning. Also got my friend that went to waterfest to get me a new apr fuel pump for the show price. Total spent $1,618.80 on parts. Yesterday thru my cousin was passing thru town and stopped by and also my friend came over and brought me his mki rabbit i am buying and helped me install the camshaft, water pump, timing belt, acc belt, and all necessary parts needed to get her running today.
Man does she run like a champ now.

Pulled the blower fan to see why it was vibrating, found a napkin in the fan; guess its best not store napkins in the glove compartment any more

**tdimonster** · 08-05-2012 09:30 PM

today i installed euro led tails. Tomorrow I will code them for amber. My first upgrade to my car... this may get addictive.

Washed her for the first time in a long time. Also fixed my fuel line rattle. It's so nice to not hear it anymore.

Car looks nice

**20rabbit08** · 08-06-2012 07:44 AM

Cleaned them both good for vag fair next weekend and finally got around to trying to install the mkvi seats in the wagon. Started with the pia rear lower since it's completely different from a jetta/gti. Had to remove both seats frames and dremel out the foam on the new seat so the frame from the jsw fits. Half down, half to go to get ready for next weekend.

MKV has a new roommate:

I thought you sold it???

**WaWaMKVDub** · 08-06-2012 10:36 AM

Tried to. No dice. So I sold my most recent car and started rebuilding her.

**fahren362** · 08-06-2012 10:42 AM

Yesterday I installed BSH PCV kit, tomorrow I should get my K-Sports coils.

Well that's a bummer but at the same time congrats on getting to keep it! Glad to see you still have air ride, any clues to the rebuild?
