when all my siblings are home with significant others it looks like were having a party, there are at least 8 cars at my house, my dad's jeep (garaged), my dad's silverado, the family back up grand prix, my mom's sienna (garaged), my eclipse, my sister's vue, my brother's jeep, sister's fiance's vibe. And if my brother's wife drove separate and if my girlfriend drove there, there would be 2 more. luckily my little brother is planning on driving the grand prix when he gets his license this fall.

Good choice on getting rid of that stupid plastic cover. Blech.

The intake looks pretty nice in there too.

Got Go pro camera and suction cup mount:

Go Pro Hero Test, Mounted to my 2011 Dodge...

LOL, I had to turn up the volume and watch the end a couple times, didn't know who "he" was. I also thought when I first read the title it said "Hydro" test, not "Hero" and I was thinking, "Where is all the water?".

Pretty cool but, where are the burnouts?

[Muddytaco]

At $280 each on the rear tires, burnouts are going to be limited

[DFSniper]

lol. im gonna enjoy burnouts on my current tires til i get new ones

i cant decide on a tire:
goodyear wrangler authority (walmart special)
Cooper AT3
Cooper ST maxx
bf goodrich t/a ko
nitto terra grapplers

the authorities or the at3 i can get for $170, not sure on the others yet. going to do some more checking around tomorrow.

I still prefer the sound of a tuned Scubie to a Hemi.

Work in progress:
Euro fogs


Custom 3 point strut bar


Custom trim rings


Smoke fuel door with white filler cap


Got rid of the ugly amber turns in the rear and repainted the lights a deeper red


At the Delaware Water Gap meet:





That last black one has a 3S-GTE under the hood pushing close to 300bhp.

As she stands, I've got Koni special D shocks, Eibach sportline springs, front and rear strut bars, urethane bushings, SRAI and have a full header back 2.25" exhaust to put on. Headers are long-tube Medalion G-Powers that are JASMA certified. All I have to get is a custom downpipe made because the one that came with the headers goes to 1 7/8ths from 2 1/4" at the headers flange. The exhaust just runs into a shelf and it defeats the purpose of having them there in the first place. Then it goes to all mandrel bent piping at 2 1/4". Did a single cat delete because I have two and the one I replaced the two with is a laser spun one with supposedly the highest flow. We'll see.

Plans to autocross on my 05 Scion TC 17" BBS rims in the spring of next year

Future plans include a SS-III lip kit and Cams. Before I do that though, I'm buying a new engine. This one is leaking oil into cylinder 4. Will be building an engine on a stand with the cams and drop it in when this one dies.

Oh and my co-worker picked up another project after he sold his old GTI.

'71 Super Beetle.



He's bagged it, manual tranny swapped it... the thing is coming together really well. It's actually pretty freaking sweet looking and sounding. I love air cooled VW's.

If I were to ever own one, I'd want a Carmen Ghia:
