I'm jonesin' for some pictures from last night. That was a really good turn out and there where some really nice cars. I wish I had a chance to have a closer look at some of them, that's why I need pictures

[o0golf0o]

ill second that motion! It was great to meet everyone. I need to get my GOPRO hooked up to the car...

These are hosted on our Facebook page.

sorry I did not post shots of everyone, most of the shots died in the blurry weed out. I hope Greg posts up his mad skillz!

[idarabbitho]

awsome pictures! i was glad to see everybody and way stoked on the new people showing. its good to see this group get bigger.

By chance does anyone have an old 4 speed 020 trans laying around for parts? I finally cracked open the trans on the 82 to figure out the clutch issue and found that the release bearing had grenaded, and the clutch finger had welded itself to one side of the bearing housing, and the pushrod welded itself to the other... I'm now on the hunt for a pushrod and clutch finger.

I'm using the one I have. I do have an extra head and stock cam, but no bottom end stuff.

lol nice! no worries all I need is the bottom end stuff, there are plenty in the junkyard but id rather see my money go to a local dubber

UPDATE: I checked in with Aaron's chop shop today.. Gotta say I was impressed by his progress and super excited to see his projects coming together! we also had the weirdest lady come by digging through trash for aluminum cans.

Ok, so I registered for Euro Sl,utfest. A link was posted a few pages back here in our thread. If anyone else is going to go let me know and we can caravan down there.

I've got friends in the area and I will be staying at their place but I can't vouch for them being ok with hosting a bunch of people. If it's just 2-4 people I can probably talk them into it but more than that probably won't be cool, sorry.

Still, I think this looks like it is going to be a good time and I think we could represent our nameless (almost an) organization pretty well at this.

[thedj_edm_jetta]

An ABA or a 4 speed trans?

[idarabbitho]

i was talking about an aba but i do know someone that has a few trannys lying around. dont know what condition they are in but i can ask to see if he would want to get rid of one

i was just looking through some of the back pages and notice you have an obd1 aba that you are selling parts off of it, would you still have any of those. im looking for the idle stablizer valve and all the hoses that come with it.

Pretty sure I have it, although the hoses may or may not need to be reattached. I'll make it back out to the shop on Saturday.

I've also got a complete mk1 non-ac setup (good alternator with pulley, mount, crank pulley, water pump and pulley) if someone is looking for one.

I only need a few parts off of a 4 speed, namely the clutch pushrod, finger, and guide sleeve for the release bearing.

[idarabbitho]

ill see what i can do and if i could just grab those parts for you. let me know if you find that stuff.

[truevw87]

so ya i get back from cali to find the pipe shop shut down and to better that some 1 stole all my exrta parts for my new truck 16v convertion..... so if any 1 has extra westys caddy parts plz hit me up

[thedj_edm_jetta]

^^ Sorry to hear that man, i'll keep my eyes open.

On the flip side though, I got my hands on a 290 degree cam... I have no idea who makes it but I pulled it from a 2.0 Audi Motor (Hydraulic)

My thoughts are.. "Well hell.. I have a bad ass cam, might as well build a bad ass Corrado"

So this summer will go towards an ABA block, Rebuilt head + Chip/Cam/Header Upgraded Pulley's and STANCE THE HELL OUT OF IT!!! But I haven't been able to find any info on running a 290 cam on a 2.0 block. Any Input other than its going to idle like crap?

it may run like crap depending on which injection system you are using.

[thedj_edm_jetta]

Its going into a G60 so DIGI 1,

I pulled it from an 84 GLI running CIS Injection and it ran phenomenal, I cant imagine the Digi system having a hard time keeping up, I'll definitely have to adjust the air/fuel mixture and idle to keep it reasonable

I'm surprised it ran with the CIS. CIS tends to fall on its face when you have valve overlap.

[thedj_edm_jetta]

CIS is a beast I try not to tango with half the time haha, I'll most likely just pick up a 268 cam for the build but if I can get the 290 to work without having any issues I'd be happy

I've seen people get some very good results with Large Cams & CIS/CIS-E... Although I know they did spend a fair amount of time with tuning to get those results...

I think it could work... Although a custom chip mapped for the cam would give you the best results, Your idle most likely will need to set around 900 or higher to give a half way decent idle... Larger injectors might be needed as well... However I don't really know for sure as I've never really messed around with Digi1...

To be completely honest though if your going to drive the car somewhat daily or daily I would run either the 268 or a 276 as you will get the most useable power with either of those 2...

Spotted what looked like a mk3 was lowered and with a Fmic and painted what looked like a baby blue primer driving by Boise state I was in my bmp 20th

[squarehare]

Welcome! Make sure you meet up with us the first Sat of the month, we'll probably meet at Starbucks on Franklin by the freeway entrance around 6:45 - 7pm as per usual then head out from there, hope to see you then!

Yea I've seen this guy a few times, I pass by his place off Maple Grove I think, the car is usually there if I go that way to work, its a pretty sweet ride. I don't want to go to his house and "stalk" him! But it would be cool to get him hooked up with the rest of us.

YUP!!! that is him right there.

[idarabbitho]

that is tony and his car is sick. its a vr6t that him and my brother threw together. cool dude. ive been trying to get him out to more of the meets. ill try again for this next one

[thedj_edm_jetta]

Cool dude indeed ^^

As for the next meet, it's that time of year we get some drives together. Meeting at 7pm is going to cut that out IMO. I'd really really really like to see us meet earlier in the day, let's say 10am then drive to Idaho city or something grab some lunch, talk about how are cars are the greatest things in the world when they're not broken, maybe photoshoot and then head back.
