This is my commuter, however, by nature, I cannot leave well enough alone.

It was purchased with 95K on it, completely stock, Silver, 5spd with gray leather. As things wear out I will replace / upgrade.

This link is the first major project a few months ago.

Cliff notes: If you don't replace your timing belt it will break or shear off teeth. 99% of the time it will destroy the valves. With the help of MM, especially .RJ, I was able to determine I was in the 1%. I replaced the belt and it has been running great ever since.

Next up is tires. I need new tires and the tire thread has me leaning towards Falken 912. I need to make some calls about the "mileage warranty" though. I drive a lot and don't want to replace tires every 3-4 months.

I hate the stance and rake of the car as it sits and I am trying to decide where I want to go with it. I'm not looking to break any Autox/Track records so a simple lowering spring will do. Eibach seems to get a bad rap but they worked fine a 94 hatch I had many moons ago. TireRack has H&R for the same price right now and there is a set of TEIN S on eBay for $125. The TEIN I am afraid will give a slammed, rather than lower look.
WWMM do? Things like sway bars can come later if I decide to go that direction.

I am also looking at possibly some new wheels, and again, purely for looks and have a couple in mind. I'm torn between 15 (stock) and 16 inch though. To be completely honest, I am having trouble finding a wheel I love at the right price. I might just put the springs on and see if I can live with it.

WWMM do? Others to look at in the cheap category?

some guys on VADriven were looking into having a meet. You guys on campus may wanna get together with them at some point. Involve some of the local crowd with the university as well.

Looking for some muscle to help moving in Falls Church - it'll be pretty easy, we're moving across the street (literally, no moving trucks, walk it 20 yards).

I've got a couple boxes, PC, mattress and a desk on the 3rd floor, and a bunch of kitchen stuff (pots, pans, plates, etc). There's a couch on the bottom floor now that needs to go up to the 3rd floor in the new place (its not heavy). The garage shit and a few other things have already been moved over, and I got rid of a ton of stuff.

So whats the party? I'll buy pizza and beer (or go out somewhere and I'll pick up the tab). It should be really easy for a couple of people.

:beer: :beer: :beer:

I took off work to "get ready for school" last week, and spent all of this week futzing with my car. Attempted a half decent photoshoot today on the justification it might not look this good again for a while.

I've spent all week repairing little things and waxing her, as I've been getting ready to move to school.














And finally, unedited dakar in the sun?! :yikes:

Have a set, barely used, 90% tread. 200 bucks and they are yours. Condition looks great, kept in garage. Got em from a friend who works at a shop for a fee, was going to use them. Pick them up!

I know a lot of us run 245/40/17s (hewwwwwwooo to bmw owners). Tire Rack is having closeout on Ventus RS2 in that size along with blizzaks.

I know Jake is already up there, and some of you guys might be, but I'm going up tomorrow morning and I'm pumped. If you're anywhere outdoors tomorrow you might here my damn fighter jet muffler winding down as I get off the highway.

Fun fact, I was riding down Franklin Rd, in Roanoke yesterday morning and saw a bright blue bangalangin WRX STI with a yellow MM sticker on it.

Seems like a great way to hunt: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/277817.page">http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/277817.page</a><!-- m -->

There are some pretty graphic pictures on there, so beware.

Hey guys, I just wanted to post up and see if any one here had any experience with a good, reputable, body shop here in Harrisonburg. My sister hit the front on my Passat with my truck three days before I moved back up here to school. Messed up the bumper, cracked my grill in two, bent the hood a little, and cracked the upper radiator support.. All in all about $2k in damages, which she is paying for out of pocket. I would love to find a good body shop up here to do the work. I normally go to a very good shop back home, but that would require me to go back home, leave the car for 3-4 days then come back and pick it up. Would have done it this week but the shop was closed for the guy to go on vacation.. Anyways body shops, what do ya know?

Thanks

Sure, you can buy the car but the skill needed to drive it can't be.......
