I got Jetta's weaving back and forth behind me on the freeway.

This is so sad.

I knew 96s were pigs....but DAMN.

I must do the swap....a GOOD swap...it must be done.....the money must leave my pockets....


Okay, I am done venting.

hehe, if you got the money do the swap.. are you still on the stock 2.73's?
3.73's or 4.10's would also help out on the freeway big time

:OT: how do you like your pro3i lca's? i'm considering those for myself since it is Christmas Is it a big difference, better ride quality?

nailed a 12 sec Jetta right when I got the car with the turbo back if it makes you feel better... My fiancee was with me and waved at him as we flew by... at the light, he was like " this is a 12 sec car! what are you running!"

Who cares... There aren't that many of them out there that run half way decent, and even the one that do are junk. (Just my opinion anyway) A blower, PI heads or a 99+ motor should take care of your problem and leave them seeing nothing but your six...

may I also insert the fact that the entire race WAS from a roll, because, umm, well, I am a dyno queen bitch, like a supra with no slicks.

Well, I'd rather build a strong motor first before putting power adders on there. No sense in having the motor explode.

As for the CC plates, yes they are very good. The build quality is pretty good and the install went nicely. The plates are not the best on the market, but the ride improvements from the adjustability they give is very welcome. And the price is right.

Guess it's time to call up Chicane Motorsports....

Ever owned a 96 to 98 GT? Basically, all that they do when you floor it is make more noise. I should know... My headswap is DONE!

Don't worry it will break soon enough. Volks***gins aren't the most reliable of autos. When he starts to pull on you swerve his way and run him off the road race won But gears and PI headswap are a must and if your got the PI heads have them ported so you don't have to deal with downitme later while yoyu have your others on!
