ditto, that needs a 1.8t lol anyone got a maf they wanna lemme hook up to see if it makes my car run smoother? or 1 they wanna sell? also if any1 has a welder i am willing to put up some cash to fix my exhaust, just needs a new flex pipe, and the rear section welded on, p.o. cut it off cause he said it made the car too quiet

[Ickey]

Haha sorry not ready to give her up yet

[Ickey]

thinking about goin to water by the bridge maybe ...anybody else wanna go hate goin alone though ...lmk ...seems like a fun show ...cept louisville roads suck the big one ...

[vegamotion]

well ive come to the conclusion that the maf is the problem, i still gotta find someone that can take care of my exhaust, but at least for it runnin ill find out tomorrow if the maf fixes it, i ordered it, but it hasnt come in yet, i unplugged the old one and it seem to clean up how it ran, was apparently in limp mode when i un plugged it but it wanst missing im hoping for the best anyhow.

Toledo roads, mainly downtown, suck a huge throbbing one. There are more potholes there than craters on Mars. I was bracing myself to crack my oil pan or blow a tire.

Mm and I need new tires because mine are crap. I've been looking at Sumitomos anyone have any thoughts on these?

[tmb077]

Never ran Sumitomos, but the roads in downtown t-town do suck major balls. I made the mistake of riding my motorcycle down there once, thought for sure I was going to end up with a cracked or bent wheel. What a joke.

vega, what needs done with your exhaust? i have a welder, but am a bit of a drive for you...i also work at a napa and can get bosal exhaust parts rather reasonable...

[Citizen_Erased]

Given what reviews are saying, the Sumitomos are a good choice so come Saturday I'm getting new tires.

[Citizen_Erased]

Just got back from Belle Tire. The Sumis are pretty good, a step up from the Kumho KH16 I used to run. Wet traction is good and my back end doesn't slide all over any more.

[Ickey]

well thats good to know ...i know my coopers sucked in the wet period and with a solid front engine mount made it even worse i am sure lol ...glad u like the new shoes

[vegamotion]

thanks for the offer but i actually just decided on replacing the engine, 1. because i found a 40k turnkey aeb engine for 1000, and 2. i also plan on building a mk1 or 2 1.8t car, and the exhaust completely fell off at the flex pipe so ima just drive it to fremont and ill fix it while i change the motor

[vegamotion]

oh and just a suggestion, idk what size tire ur looking for but, im deciding to go with a falken ziex 912, but i been told the continental dws is a very nice riding tire

[Ickey]

haha ur exhaust fell off ...least i had to cut mine off that audi is so ghetto fabulous

[vegamotion]

eff u brian, its had a bad winter

[Ickey]

Maybe you should watch some drift competitions

[Ickey]

what in the snow lol ...i watched a drift show the other day actually i am waiting to get frickin parts and hopin it warms up to freezing as their isn't any heat in the garage cept some space heaters and those suck ...so hoping in another week have some more parts and get busy

[bugsy98nb]

Well I do have a carport I use to park my convertible in in the winter , but between helping my parents and grandparents on their houses this fall I didn't get a chance to get it up so the bunny sits in the snow till spring

Lol all I have to do is stop spending money on other things so I can afford parts. My sway bar links need to be replaced along with my hand brake, and I'm pretty sure that my clutch is going out.

[Ickey]

yea i hear ya gonna thaw out some this week finally ....gonna work on the coupe some more and see if i can get my damn shifter in finally still waiting on parts i need to order ugh ...friggin bills kickin my azz ...oh well its going slowly but surely ...should be fun to hear it run with an open header lol ...

Yeah that open header is going to sound crazy.

[Ickey]

spent part of the afternoon painting my parts hood and trunk lid and the fender looks like poo ...i hate not having air tools ish would be done already

[bugsy98nb]

air tools do come in handy . I scored a set of side Rabbit Decals yesterday at a local vw gtg , what is odd they have been floating around in the door prize box for a few years and everyone kinda forgot what they were. SO we unrolled it and i saw the RABBIT logo on the paper and I'm like . so when my # was pulled I already knew what i wanted and got it ! Now to just get the darn car on the road first

[Ickey]

Yeah I belong to the local Greater Toledo Vw club , we had our first annual meet at Tony Packos , WE do different things thru out the year and have Bugfest in September at the vw dealership. Im hoping the weather holds out the next few days suppose to be warmer so maybe I can tinker with the rabbit a little bit so long as the rain holds off . You could always do like those peeps from Pimp my ride, carry a boom box for tunes in the yota

[Ickey]

Same, I live in Perrysburg and I've never made it to Bugfest. This year I was caught up at work too, and got off work just when it was ending

[tmb077]

GTVWC, been awhile since I heard that name...I last attended the Bugfest at Schmidt's in 1994! It's odd how that seems so long ago now that I type it out...craziness. I took home an award that day for my 73 modified stock beetle...second place I think, I'll have to see if i still have the trophy. In other news, I have more work to do to the wifey's new beetle, she managed to get stuck in one of the plow drifts along the side of our drive and ripped the lower valance when she tried to back out...grrrr

The Jetta search still continues, lots of prospects, but nothing solid....don't want to 'settle' for something, ya know?
