    I'd be down to do this later on...I really gotta get my rear brakes done soon, the grinding is getting annoying. Anyone have some good rear Mk3 calipers they'd let go on the cheap? I might appreciate a hand with getting them done in the next few weeks, too, if any of you Fondy guys would wanna stop by for some beers. When is yet to be seen, since the parts are gonna eat up a whole check...

    Met up with a fellow dubber in my town just a little while ago. Guy has a white VR6 jetta dumped on some clean black rims and a few deletes/clean up mods. I think his name was Tony he said.
    He says he uses the vortex for troubleshooting stuff. I mentioned to him that we have a decent regional forum here so hopefully he shows up.


    Wish I had a camera to take a pic of our cars together, oh well. He will recognize the pics of my car if he checks out our thread here.

    Got the regulator on the driver's front replaced. That was kind of a pin. Took a few minutes to figure out how to get the new one into the door. Came out easy enough, but getting it back in was a pain. Eventually I'll do the rear one. Need to make a run to the other junkyard in town and see if I can find some mk4 calipers. Figure I might as well go for an upgrade.

    So I'm going to have some folks over Saturday afternoon for some trilling and drinks. I have drumsticks marinating and some sides to go with. Sort of a byob affair and maybe something to eat if you don't like chicken legs. Give me a heads up if you are coming so I can make sure I have enough stuff.

    So I picked up some good used tires for the new rims I got for my daily driver.

    Anyone have any good connections or know a place that can remove 4 shot tires and install/balance 4 new tires for a good price? Most shops local to me want around $120 to do this.

    Oh jeez. Get whole of me. We can do it for 60 bucks plus tax and shop fees of course. Shop fees will be less than a dollar before all the dealer haters can pop in....

    Hey all, I haven't been in here for a while and I may not even know anyone who's still posting in this thread but if anyone knows anyone who would want to pick up a minty srt-4 Neon there's a guy I work with trying to unload his. I'm not positive about the year but it's red, has 20,000 miles, is bone stock and is in amazing condition. The guy bought it for a toy but just doesn't use it enough even though it's meticulously maintained and for someone into these cars it's pretty much the perfect find. He wants to get $10,000 for it but I can get more info from him if anyone wants.

    I was gonna say I'm pretty sure Walmart will do it for cheap as well. Granted that's dependent upon how much you trust Walmart's "tech" to mount/balance correctly.

    I actually ended up going to Walmart. It was only $60 plus tax and they were available to do it right away when I called. Next time around I'll keep you in mind

    Well fellas, I'm back in the euro game. I finally pulled the trigger on a new ride.

    Picked this up on Sunday:










    E82 135i with sport package (M steering wheel / shift knob / sport seats / shadow line exterior trim), 22,700 on the odo. Had to drive to Barrington IL to get it.

    Already has the following mods:

    Dinan S2 upgrade (should be around 380 hp, 415 tq)
    AST 5100 coilovers, properly corner weighted
    Hotchkis 32mm front sway bar
    Turner end links
    Vorshlag top / camber plates
    Hawk track pads
    Brand new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires +1 size

    Should be a fun little car. Had to finance for 5.5 years, though.

    I decided the two extra years was worth it, over a 2004 S2000 with the same monthly payment, but 3x the milage.

    She goes like a raped ape. Fastest car I've ever sat in.

    Let me know when the next cruise / gtg is, now that I can participate...
