Wow, very entertaining... Both vids. Any more wonders of the performing arts like this? I'm sure there's tons of talent out there..

Before you buy it back, make sure you check to see how much of a pain getting a rebuilt or salvage title will be, if indeed, that's the route you choose.

I was there cause my girl wanted to go. The first couple of years I went was really nice, but the last two years just got worse and worse. There's other things I'd rather do in Atlanta now.

Put another one down for www.vwvortex.comI use that site quite a lot. It's not really technical in general, but there are areas of the site where you can definitely learn a lot and get good, technical information.

Wow, that sucks.But there's no burn marks or anything; what kind of explosion was it? Is there any news reports about it we can read yet?

Sorry to hear that man, my condolences and prayers are definitely with you and his family. Hope everything works out for the best for you guys.I had two friends in motorcycle wrecks lately. There were no deaths, thank God, but one broke his back and is paralyzed from the waist down, and...

Quite a few out there with 19's... they look perfect on the car. Here's a couple I just dug up:

Yeah, I'd either like to get that or a GLI front lip and side skirts. I definitely need window tint (being hot arse southern Georgia and all...), and I want to lower it and put some 19s on it. Those are really all the plans I have for it. But thanks for the compliments :)

Just washed and waxed the car and bike today, so I shot a ton of pics, but here's just a couple as so not to bore you guys ;)

It's a 2004 and I got it for 20k out-the-door.It's a beautiful car and everything about it screams european. It's got fantastic build quality and it's decently quick, too. It's just such a nice transition from a DSM :)Thanks for the comments guys :thumb:

Finally broke down and sold the 93 TSi a few days ago. Just don't have the time in my life right now to play with it, so I needed a reliable mode of transportation besides the bike. Went and looked at a lot of cars for while, and eventually picked a black Golf VR6. I love this thing, it's...

DVD Decrypter is what I use also.btw - I use DVD+Rs for my dvd burning, not DVD-R's. Not sure about technical data, but +R's always play on my players, while -R's don't usually.

Everyone's different, but try to figure out what brand your paint is. House of Kolor Kandy Orange will be one color, while Dupont Standox will be another, but if you find out your brand, then you can touch up what you need to touch up.Are you repainting or blending a spot on your car? Or...

Haven't been able to post since the site was down... here's an update if anyone feels like reading it. I still can't figure out what is wrong with it.http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1377107

Haven't checked the harmonic balancer yet, Steve, but I will do tonight when I get home.We pulled his CAS and mine with both #1 cylinders at TDC according to the marks. Both CAS' came out the same way, with the marks lined up and all.As for the JDM engine, this will be the second one...

My car's been running very poorly after my rebuild. I seem to think it's my ignition timing. The car has no power at all (so slow that it's almost dangerous to drive in traffic), idles choppy, and just all in all won't drive right. After getting everything back together with new plugs, wires...

Man... just watched the whole thing... pretty intense stuff and it does raise some good questions. Just makes you wonder about the way things are run in this country.

True... black is a hard color for beginners. You can see every mistake you made. The best thing to do is to find an online article somewhere on how to paint your car and just follow directions as best as possible.Just one tip though, get a slower reducer for your base coat; take your time...

Nice job... make sure you sand the edges down very well on that primer... Spraying a square like that makes it harder to conceal the edges; just make sure it's sanded down well for a good blend :thumb:

Nice :thumb: I'm using a manual, too... the auto sucks to me.I might need to play around with the car a little more :)Are you using nitrous?

I never used to use them in GT3, but in GT4 I like them on just because of the way I drive. Then again, to me, GT3 is a much easier driving game.

GT4 2003 Viper SRT-10 Everything built to the max... was 1032hp after oil change. Super Soft racing tires (I usually race with Medium, but I couldn't get this car to stop understeering...) No nitrous Driving aids all on 5I didn't have this car, so this is the first time I drove it...

In my opinion, you can't beat the factory turbo 1g seats. Most comfortable seats I've ever been in :thumb:

... wonder if dem engines got vtec, yo...

First off, let me say the car was running a couple of hours ago. It was running like it should for the most part, but it just had very loud lifter tick. I purchased some revised lifters a few days ago to put in and a friend and I just finished putting them in. Everything went smoothly, and we...

Probably the most widespread and proven setup on here is going to be Eagle rods, Wiseco pistons. That's what I'd go with if I were building my motor.

Here's a couple of decent shots of mine:'04 Gixxer 600 Yoshi RS-3 bolt-on Lowered 3" all around 8000k HID kit 1 down / 2 up sprockets

Best show ever!!!! :thumb:I've watched all 4 entire episodes completely, and now that the 5th season is on TV now, I'll be busy every Monday for the next long while :D

Here's a couple of good rolling pictures:KrazyKorean's car...

Yeeeaahh :rolleyes::p :D

Wow... speechless :eek:Congrats :thumb: :thumb:A friend of mine (Shea) was up there at Bristol talking to you and he called me and told me about it... mucho respect to you and the car, John!!

You sorry punk ;)We need to get that chain fixed on the little one and go riding around with them. Matter of fact, when are you gonna go riding with the R6? It's that time of year again :thumb:

Groden Aluminium rods are quoted to be able to handle anything that's thrown at them.

If you owned the plane, it would still be much cheaper to purchase a ticket from a commercial airliner.

www.dsmchips.comI'd get a chip and set your AFC and MAFT at their zero settings. Then just fine tune with the AFC.Matt (dsmtrance) has 1000cc injectors with his PTE 60-1/MAFT/AFC combo and his car runs phenomenal with them. No idle problems, no bogging, nothing that would suggest...

Here's Matt's (dsmtrance) car:http://www.dsmtuners.com/gallery/data/501/381tn_0837563-R1-012-4A.jpgIt's the stock silver but with a little more metallic added in.

Man, at first, I was thinking "you gotta be shitting me..."Good one :thumb: ... Wonder who thought that one up :laugh:

How are the drag races in GT4?

I think just for Sunday. I'm trying to drag a few other people with me, so we'll see how that goes. It was fun for me last year, and it'll probably be better this year. Hopefully we can meet up somewhere in the day and have a beer and a hamburger or somethin ;)

Me and Matt (dsmtrance) will be there this year as well. We'll probably try to have a cookout again.

I don't wanna talk about it.

Yeah, that car is pretty bad. Gary has relatively the same setup as that car, minus some tuning and tires, etc.Nevertheless, badass :D

You can still race it, just put some C16 in there and turn the boost up ;)Gary can put some 91 octane in the Viper and run you on low boost :thumb:You'd probably be surprised at the outcome :D

It was going every bit of 150. There's no need to be such a pessimist on such petty issues. We didn't go by the speedometer, we have a pretty bad ass GPS unit that we used for that run. Even if the speedo registered 150, it's still inaccurate at that speed anyway, so we just used the GPS.

Here's a friend of mine that just got his Viper GTS back from Heffner Performance. They installed a twin-turbo kit on it and dyno'd it. It made 1104.xx horsepower on C16 with the boost controller set at 19psi. On pump gas (91 octane), it is pulling around 700-750 with about 10psi.This...

Check on the back/topside of your transmission, there should be a cable going to it. This is your speedometer cable. Check to see if it's unscrewed. If it is, screw it back in, and if it's not, take it out and inspect 't' groove for wear and damage.

At least there was one comma in there :D ;)

Shut up you little alkie ;)

Yeah, we actually got it running this morning ;) We ended up putting two 1.0mm washers behind the pivot ball for the TOB release fork. It works like a charm now :DGood thing to see that thing running again :thumb:

I wouldn't mind having a 350Z if it weren't for those air brakes they call "door handles."Did you know that some people have had problems with car washes (with brushes) opening the doors on their Zs? No lie. There was an article in some magazine about it.
