Burgundy Build

[pileofredparts]

Got my PVW today, it's pretty cool to see my car in there... It's no Zach spread but I'll take it.

Sweet, thanks Nik. They said they wouldn't feature it but wouldn't really give me a reason

Haldex might be a while, but the six speed, new wheels, paint and some new exterior touches might give it enough for a full feature.

sounds like you care to me youve mentioned feature repeatedly

[cstanley19]

fair enough. I've had more fun at h2o meeting up with all you meat heads.. It is all about building cars, busting balls and drinking tons of beer. Let's let the thread move back to the archives..

[Krazee]

Cleaned up. I have no problem with the usual banter, but let's not ruin this thread.

Winter work by Dave

[cstanley19]

Almost done... buff and a cleaning and it will be on its way to Vegas for new wheels and some nit picking... oh and some serious road time!!!

[leebro61]

Nice dude It's crazy how different a set of wheels can make a car look!

[hubbell]

i like the bottle caps better too (the rest of the car is ****e though)

[Toffeerado]

Those handles look dated to me, they don't suit the pulled fenders imo. Nice work though .

[cstanley19]

I am a huge fan of the flush look of the handles. I do like color matched too but always wanted a4's.

Thanks Rick, maybe you should lose your fake splits and buy some real wheels... too far??...

[TheBurninator]

I was wondering who's car was getting those when I saw it on instagram. Looks good Casey. How long until your car makes it out to Vegas?

[Toffeerado]

whats a fake wheel look like? a square?

According to Southpark, a square wheel is Canadian spec

Why is your car parked at a junkyard

[1broknrado]

Loving it Casey. What new wheels did you pick up for next year

Did someone say square wheels?



Looking forward to seeing the new wheels, Casey

Staying with a new set of A9's, but I bought 5x100 so they will tuck all four corners with the 2.5" lips. Unless I can find a set of Kerscher's that I want, these will do for the time being.

Futuras? Crown KCS?

[RedYellowWhite]

Ah, the RX's....those are nice!!! (discontinued I think)

[CuRide]

those are hot hot hot but my fenders can't handle them
VWTrend got a really nice set of those wheels.

Thanks for the new iphone wallpaper

Still going 6 speed? I need another 02A

Why don't you just throw an 02M in your car already?

Because the gear ratios suck for racing....

I'm not really sure It's even worth my time to explain this to you....

I don't want to have to shift into 5th gear in the 1/4. I'm only going to be a high 10second car at the end of the day. 02M's have their own sets of issues as well.

Makes sense. I guess I was going from the "quit destroying the worlds supply of 02A's" perspective

shift fork issue and the other issues?

Shifter fork is nothing, easily fixed... only other issue is the slave on some clutches. Overall it is 100X better than the 02a for high hp. Why wouldnt you just do it right once as opposed to living in fear it will break from a hard launch.

Hahahahaha,
Totally worth the click since Casey hasn't posted any pics of his car with the H2O wheels...

[cstanley19]

6 speed is on hold for now. I have to get the car to Vegas first. Plus I'm tire of having it down, I just want to drive it for now.

No one really took pics of my car at h2o. Here are the wheels though.

[Darrsh]

always lookin stunnin C

You have to drop the subframe to remove the trans or pull it out with the motor. Slaves have issues 2nd gear has issues (fork) and doing all burnouts in 2nd gear currently.

Theres no real "doing it right" they all break. I will have two trans's now so I can hot swap them as needed. I've only broken 1 5th, and warped the slider sleeve on this trans. All and all not bad for stock gears on 177k trans.

Plus I have thousands invested in the axles and clutch for the 02A and no one seemed to want to buy them.

Car looks great Casey, didn't mean to jack your thread, just looking around for a low mile 02A that would be a good candidate for building an AP trans

[cstanley19]

No worries man. See if hubbell has one

[dogger]

Wheels look perfect!
