Well guys, I just finished the tranny swap on my new project car :) Wanted to see what you guys though of my 1200.00 car :cool:

Only thing that sucks is the new tranny needs end-clutches :rolleyes: Big suprise (its an auto)

Oh and, do you guys think its too low =\ I like how it looks, but she will bottom out on EVERYTHING :cry:
 
LOL, what gets me is the mods the car has.... lowered around 2", and an fpr, and thats it WTF!! I cant figure out why they would use an adjustable FPR without doing any other mods.

Unless maybe they installed an upgraded fuel pump... with the seat out you can see that the pump cover is off (the little aluminum cover)


Im also not sure why in the world it has a greddy sticker on the timing belt cover, but that is going asap =x

I bet you dollars to donuts that you've got a car that was parted out and restored to stock as much as the previous owner could do.

yeah cause thats what most people do and once you start working on the car you find out how ghetto rigged everything was put back to stock :thumb:
 
Well id say I tore the car down about as far as could be while taking out the tranny >.< everything seemed pretty normal to me, didnt look too jury rigged.

Oh well, the engine still purrs, so I dont care if it was previously modded out :) 103k and the engine seems tight as a drum.
 
$1200 cant beat it ..



anyone else notice one side has the old '90 tsi talon swirlie on it .. hehe ..

LoL I didnt even notice that one of the rims was different until you pointed it out.

Hrm hahahha wow that sucks :D Oh well, because of the flat black paint its almost not noticeable unless your looking really closely
