What did you do to your beetle today?

[FastAndFurious]

well yesterday not today but...got ecs stage 1 clutch kit installed put tranny back in, changed tranny fluid, bled the clutch and brakes with motive power bleeder (nice new toy i would recommend to anyone, makes everything so easy)

and of course somehow the vacume hose off the booster got loose during install and was giving me nightmares until today.

That sucks hope ur pet gets better.. As for here I don't have time for mods becasue, I am getting problem after problem come out... And thats what happens when you buy a car that was abused to **** before you buy it for a good deal. My car now has hard starting and I have no power for along time. I need to jump on the gas pedal and keep the pedal to the metal. Just to so people don't honk at me behind me. I'm guessing mass air flow sensor. I did not check my check engine light to see if I got any new codes over the ones I already had.

COILS!!!! haha got all sides on today and put them all the way down, tucking tire on my longbeaches and got my pan about a key and a half from the ground.....i know not everyones cup of tea but i love being low, plus it keeps me awake cause i know i gotta watch the road like crazy to not hit anything

[DubbinTopless]

I got an estimate to repair my rear bumper where an idiot ran into me.

However, it was 100% his fault, so I am thinking insurance might help me switch to a Euro rear bumper

Imed ^^

And I cleaned my beetle quickly today.

[dr_spock]

Replaced the crank sensor after it failed and left stranded me on the highway for the first time since buying the car almost 11 years ago.

[TightDub]

Got my tag for it

[BeauDennis]

mmmmarquez: how much for the rear one only? but if you are selling it as a pair then i cant for it.

Hey guys I did a few things with my beetle....

1) vaccumed it/washed it by hand (have not done it since mid summer or so)
2) was looking why my L side tail light does not work when the lights is on and has a good light bulb in it (gave up.. hopefully I will not get booked on my trip to the states cuz cops in the states love booking out of province ppl)
3) Cleaned my trunk and found 3 or 4 car jacks and 5 or 6 OE wrenches to remove the lug nuts when u get a flat.... (what ever that is called) :S yeah had no idea that I had that much in it..

Noticed some "nice" guy backed into my car in a parking lot of something cuz there is marks on the RR part of the bumper.. And I can drive so I know it was not me! But oh well I don't care this car will be really fixxed up soon (as soon as my b3 hits the road - cleaning the salvage papers on it tommorow)

[DubbinTopless]

I replaced my headlight....again. Looks like the dry rot means I have to replace the whole housing. (The seal is also loose around the lens cuz it looks like the previous owner didn't know how to get the headlight out correctly )

But I did fix it all by myself. No supervision of any kind, so that was kinda exciting

[Tdotdub]

Guys this was a few days ago but I got to show you what I spotted with my rear brakes. It was shocking to know that I was driving with brakes on 3 wheels only for weeks (reason I could not find the noise). Will get pics up tommorow

[BeauDennis]

yeah man hate to see you switch. your NB was pretty rad!

[FastAndFurious]

finished up my dual a pillar gauge pod project, wrapped/stitched in suede like the rest of the headliner parts and installed vdo water/oil temperature gauges

heres some crappy phone pics

[vdubstar]

Looks good Fast! The vdo gauges blend nicely on the A-Pillar. Thinking about something like this for a while. Glad to see it on your ride.

Recently installed a Schumacher 1.5 volt battery charger/maintainer for the ride since it's not my daily.

[BigBlockBug]

This was all in the last 2 weeks but:

Made the new false floor for the long since gone rear seat.
Plugs, oil change, trans fluid change, fuel filter, ball joints.
Alpine Type S components for the front, Type S full ranges for the back, Alpine 600W class D amp, Alpine Type R 12" 2ohm sub. Still need to make the new enclosure, this one will be CF to match the seat backs.

Next up: redoing the air ride. Building off the harness bar to make a half cage. All new interior panels. Repaint whole car, Alpine white, still black roof, and mirrors, shave hood and hatch.

Once the enclosure/floor is done ill get pics I guess....

lol like urs

any ways.. I was driving and tryed to stop and tapped a parked car... the damages was huge. My plate holder cracked. And his bumper had a blue mark from the letters of my licence plate. After finding him he did not care at all and told me to forget about it. That just made my day... My year as it is was already very bad so all what I would have needed was him nagging for 2 blue marks...

In short I cracked my plate holder.

[13minutes]

Scrubbed the ever living hell out of the battery clamps, recharged and started her after letting her sit under a sheet of snow and ice for a week. I sooo need to swap wheels, but my dad's convalescence after surgery took it off my priorities.

[ginanana]

Today it was freakin 55 degrees in Baltimore! So I washed and waxed the car, and finally installed my TT vents. They look mighty nice, if I do say so myself.

[13minutes]

I didn't want to wash..since I'm still unsure of the week's weather. That and I wanted to go shopping, not smell like carnuba.
