[Praetor5]

Looking Good Chris!

[mistertam]

Ok Chris, you GOTTA post your mods. I want to know what that button and switch is for.

Boy do our cars look WAY different. We used to be identical twins, now we're distant cousins! http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/crazy.gif

[Praetor5]

Thanks Ivan! Yah our cars used to be so similar looking but they both got makeovers. the buttons throw people off. hehehe u'd be disappointed if I told you what they did. Some people think its NOS but...nothing like that...sadly. It's an override switch for my Alpine unit that allows me to watch DVD's while the car is in motion...told you it would disappoint you. http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/biggrin.gif

Your Passat looks great, Chris. I'll look for you in the OC area.... http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emcocktl.gif

[Praetor5]

Thanks! Honk if you see me!

Hey Chris

I love your wheels and am in the middle of doing the same on my 2002
Did you have to use spacers? is so what size did you use?

which Carlsson wheels are those?...the 18x8 with 35et

or the 18x8.5 Diamond version with 40et?

thanks man

Just replied to your email! Hope it helps! Sorry for the delay! I was outta town for the weekend.

[Praetor5]

Just added my mods list! I know I've been lazy...

[lbsizzle]

What's up buddy... I saw you I think outside of target and asked you about your car. Looks good. I am looking to get the B5 going as well. shit is tight. Now I have something to work for. http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/thumbup.gif Might be a while though. I'll see you around. thanks again for the heads up on the web site.

[Praetor5]

No Problem! I still see you driving around every once in awhile on Santa Rosa. My garage is in the complex to the left when going in towards Santa Ynez. Hope to see more of your ride!

[redb5sdca]

I bought this very car from a Mazda dealership in Sunnyvale, CA. It's awesome. Praetor5 did a great job! :lol: But it's my :b5: now. :evil: Just kidding. :lol: Its in good hands :thumbup:

[Praetor5]

It's great to know she is in the hands of a fellow B5 member and enthusiast! Take care of her!

[cchardon]

What a georgeous car! :bow: I can only hope that mine can look half that good one day. The low ride isn't very practical north of the border. :beer:

[SeeWinston]

Why do you say that :? Are you on a lot of dirt roads :?

[B5point5]

Thats 1 sweet looking B5! :thumbup:
The Carlssons look fantastic on a silver car.

BTW tell us what kind of James Bond device you have wired up to that toggle switch - rocket launcher? ejector seat?

[cchardon]

Why do you say that :? Are you on a lot of dirt roads :?

In Calgary, the weather really fluxuates in the winter. One day it is 10c and then the next day it could be -20c. The drastic change in temperature creates a lot of frost heaves on the city roads. :mad: It would be very easy to bottom out on a regular basis. Me thinks that wouldn't be good for the car. :)

[SeeWinston]

Yeah. You're probably right. You would have to get adjustable shox.
