    im contemplating parting it out or building a fun HPDE car out of it. I don't drive it as much as I would like to so I sent the air to a good home and i'll deal with being static. The A4 will be my new fun car.

    Expenses in F1 have gone down since the 1960s because teams don't need an extra pit crew to help the driver carry around his balls when he is not in the car.

    Replaced my back up light switch, with out removing the airbox, battery etc. I just did it from underneath with a deep 22mm socket. Later I will be installing my monster mats after I vacuum.


    Next weekend is an oil change

    Did a wideband conversion using gti AWP engine harness/02 harness conversion/wideband 02 sensor/AWP ecu conversion and got the car running in order to go maestro Should be a fun winter project.

    Car is now back to the body shop to redo the tt gas cap

    Just an update: As of today it has a bad Engine Speed Sensor- any tips on changing this part would be appreciated

    Cost was almost 2,000 to have it fixed, and the problem still might not be solved

    My Bug has been in the shop for 45 days, today I saw how the painting was going...OMG, I am so happy, also today I got the new headliner because the original has a few spots here and there and i did not want to clean it. Ill post pictures later (like February) but I am Thrilled...
    My Beetle is a chick car and my wagon is a mom´s car. But I really don´t care about stereotypes.

    At least I got IRS, proper gauges and interior and a decent Hood lift strut"

    I parted and sold my NB in 2008, but I can post in this thread because this morning, I moved my NB rear interior panels from the garage and put them in the basement. I also moved a set of Neuspeed race springs I used to have on my NB.
