There used to be a thread for these areas, was quite long. Did everyone move away, graduate, or what?

**str8jakett** · 07-25-2008 05:54 PM

C'mon, nobody?

**Grannigan** · 07-26-2008 11:41 AM

I am going to be a freshman at Tech this fall.

**Señor BigJuts** · 07-26-2008 05:00 PM

i'll be there. moving in end of august.

Here's the car if you see it around.

Post pics of your car!

**str8jakett** · 07-28-2008 12:57 AM

Nice!

But currently:

Playing around with some cheap mods and trying to get rid of those wheels.

There used to be a quite a few people around here, although I never met any of them in person. Tried to make it to some of their Sunday meets but I was just really busy at that time. Glad to see some people are coming to the area.

**Señor BigJuts** · 07-28-2008 04:35 PM

Nice.

Some cheap mods you could do easily yourself with just a little time.

- Joey mod headlights.
- headliner

and then some that involve a little big of $

- intake
- bumper markers
- fender markers

After that its pretty much time to spend the big bucks

**Señor BigJuts** · 07-28-2008 04:58 PM

Dude you def. have to help me take apart my headliner and rewrap it. Cause i have NO idea how to take all that ish apart. haha.

And finally, someone in the area who has a spot and tools to work on the car. I was worried i'd be stuck in the school parking lot with minimal tools.

**Houston24V** · 07-28-2008 05:08 PM

This may be a better introduction of what we are about. 2009 AMG C63 just came in on Friday!!

Now for the JTI.

This is what we do for fun, make videos and drive around.

I really hope you decide to join our forum.

**Señor BigJuts** · 07-28-2008 05:11 PM

just joined. Looking forward to one of the meets.

**Houston24V** · 07-28-2008 05:13 PM

Nice!! See you there.

Love to help, but I'm no expert, this is my first time around for everything as well. I can definitely tell you what not to do!

Houston - I joined up as well, but haven't looked around much. Seems like a nice place and some fun times. Nice JTi!

I'd really started to go stale on my car the past couple of years and I was to the point of wanting to trade it, but instead I got laid off of my job for a few months and the boredom set in. Worked out good for the car though.

Sounds good. I'll see you in September. Possibly cruise down to H20 together if your going. Are there fabric stores around christiansburg/blacksburg? what are you wrapping the headliner in?

There are a few small stores but there is a big store in Floyd (20 miles) that had a ton of stuff. Nothing I was looking for though, so looks like I'm going to get a multicolored blue plaid online. I haven't ordered it yet, but I did get a sample. Kind of holding out I guess while I get everything else painted and put back together. My fog light harness should be here tomorrow, and my wheel bolts. I bought some ball seat so I can go back to my stock wheels and still run the spacers, but I figure I'll need them for Fat Fives whenever I can pick up a set.

**Señor BigJuts** · 07-28-2008 09:59 PM

Where do you get your stuff painted there? PM me some prices. I'll probably need to get some things painted while im there.

Right now, my weekend life could be anything, but I am married with a 1 year old, so things change all the time. You guys meet up every weekend?

Actually, I was talking about my rattle can grill and rub strips. The only thing I have had to have painted so far was my driver side mirror when a cavalier knocked it off. Got it done at Harveys (GM dealership bodyshop) for $25. I really have no connections around here. I'm from here, but I spent a few years in St. Louis and it really makes me miss the scene and friends out there. You might want to join up at this site as well:

Hey, what ever happened to that original Virginia Tech thread? I'd be surprised if it just died out.

**Houston24V** · 07-30-2008 08:36 AM

Meet us in Richmond?? Saturday at 5pm?

**Señor BigJuts** · 07-30-2008 09:07 AM

**Houston24V** · 07-30-2008 09:10 AM

Well we are taking picture with Richmond dubs at 5pm then they got the hook up at the local VW dealer to clear out a spot for us so we can chill have pizza and check out some of the new cars. Should be fun!!

**Señor BigJuts** · 07-30-2008 09:22 AM

**Houston24V** · 07-30-2008 09:34 AM

Parham Road..... Is where we are meeting

**str8jakett** · 07-30-2008 10:35 AM

Sounds like a fun meet, headed to the beach that day though. Plus, the car will probably still be in pieces until I get back.

**str8jakett** · 07-30-2008 12:52 PM

Just a few of the progress:

Still have to reinstall the rub strips on the side, and then tackle the headliner, which scares me.

Ahh yes, and one only the VW guys will get:

i wasnt going for just the g2g. Was suppose to go down there to pick something up as well so i thought i'd swing by the g2g. I've been to the arlington g2g along time ago. Was 7 cars or so only and after that it just died out i think.

Me too.

Hopefully I'll start meeting all you guys in August/September. Is there a regular enthusiast meet at Tech? And how's the Audi community?

**str8jakett** · 07-31-2008 11:50 PM

There used to be a regular meet on Sundays but I haven't seen anyone from the old thread post except lumns. We'll put something together, if you guys can handle a 27 year old family man non-student working something up
