40-page thread about a Jetta

[280Z Turbo]

Maybe I should get myself a fart pipe for the Focus.

Nah...I like it nice and quiet.

[BimmerM3]

Only three pages to go!

[Eye of the Tiger]

How is this not 30 pages yet? Fine, let's talk about more Jetta.

The windshield washer mysterously started working, so I don't have to worry about that for now.

1. I found out that it needs one new brakeline for about $100. The rest look like they're new.
2. Clutch, let's say $500 if it's not just a bad cable
3. Oil change plz kthx
   a. air filter
   b. clean pcv
   c. clean throttle body
4. CEL on. I put a new breather hose on which probably caused it, but I need to check the code.
5. HOly crap it's dirty. Stupid winter. Need to visit a heated car wash
   a. PLease remove NBPL bumper sticker . It could be some homosexual neo-nazi cult for all I know
6. Air horns
7. New summer tires
8. NOS

Brake lines are not $100.

Bend your own lines from Autozone. It should be 10x1.0 bubble flare.

I like to hear my engine and it helps me drive better. But, I simply cannot afford to draw any unwanted attention to myself. 3-more points and I'll be pleading to a judge not to suspend my licnese. That's like one noise violation ticket right there. I need to be stealthy.

My last girlfriend was a bubble flare...

No, I've already been through this. I don't have a garage.

And she still is

Yeah, it's winter, but you could do something like a brake line.  Or wait a few weeks for a warmer day.

I didn't realize that Mainers were such pansies. 

[280Z Turbo]

You can bend them in your house.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I'll have to take a picture of my parking space. It is absolutely NOT the kind of place anybody should be crawling under cars. It's solid ice right now, and when it warms up it will be sloppy mud. I'd have to wear a damn scuba suit.

[280Z Turbo]

Do it in the Autozone parking lot.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Do it in the Autozone parking lot.

Yeah. Umm... no. I'm a pansy, okay? I'll only work outside on dry ground when the temperature is above freezing.

[280Z Turbo]

You're a bigger pansie than you are p00r?

[Eye of the Tiger]

You're a bigger pansie than you are p00r?

At the moment, yes. I'll pay $100 for one brake line. Come summer time when the ground dries up, I'd do it, but you couldn't get me to lay out there on the ground right now even if you had a gun pointed at my head. No fucking way in hell.

Don't worry, this thread is on pace to hit 30 pages much quicker than the other one. The other one took almost 1.5 months, where as this has only been 10 days so far.

Then maybe I should shoot for 50 pages.

[Eye of the Tiger]

not if I keep changing the subject.

What should I get:

Neuspeed Supercharger

or

Garrett Turbo

?

Both are aboue $2500.


The answer is none of the above. Get NOS for $400.

[280Z Turbo]

Get a turbo off of a Z for $100. JB weld it to your exhaust manifold.

I really need a fresh set of tires, actually. The ones there now are some kind of nearly bald, cheap summer tires, and the ones on my extra set of Jetta wheels are also nearly bald, cheap summer tires.

[Eye of the Tiger]

If I have a little extra cash, I might go with Bridgestone G009's









Or for substantially less money

[thewizard16]

Falkens are surprisingly good for the money. And I have an amazing bias against Bridgestone after three sets of shitty tires from them.

[J86]

dude, i did my break lines in below freezing temps over a weekend, sack up!

[J86]

break, brake, ah fuckit

[280Z Turbo]

Nick has blubber for insulation. He can do it.

[J86]

oooh, mean!

[280Z Turbo]

The funny thing is, I don't even know if he is "teh fat3h" or not. I just heard it from other people.

[Soup DeVille]

It's also dangerous because the floorboards could fall out.

In. The floorboards always fall in. And up.
