    Photobucket

    Thats a picture the first day I had it. It started off live as a silver car, but it end up getting repainted for the last owner. I don't know what paint color or the code is but if any one does please let me know!

    Photobucket

    It sits a little low is just sitting on some racelands i want to get some thing better but I dont know what kind to go with i was thinking some were around h&r's but I'm not sure yet.
    Any ways its a 16v with like a ten million miles so i plan on having a vr to swap in it soon ill keep every one up to par on that



    So here are some pics of the car

    dang!! where are you that youre still gettin snow?!?! anyway, looks great! my wagon is sittin on racelands too and honestly i love them. they were in my a2 golf for a year and a half until i put them in my passat last month. i honestly havent had a single problem with them in nearly 2 years, just be sure to keep the threads greased up if you ever wanna adjust them down the road. btw, do u work at a GM dealer?

    heres a pic of my bucket on racelands

    thanks, yours looks great too. like i said tho, throw some grease on those threads and theyll never seize. i coated all my threads with wheel bearing grease, adjusted them where i wanted them, then recoated the threads with wheel bearing grease then followed them up with a spray grease. a year and a half and 2 northeast winters later the lower spring seats are still free

    So it's been a while since I've up dated the thread. The car has came a long way in it's time. Last time I was on here I just got my doner and was getting ready to pull my motor. Well now the motor is in and the car is getting there. I have the motor in, when I was finally going to start the car i find out my fuel pump was bad so I wasn't getting the pressure i need to run the motor. So I'm hoping this week end I finally get the time to change fuel pumps

    well after a few months of not working on the car, I finally got back to working on it and it now runs

    also got a different suspension for it. I got some H&R ultra lows.
