And your oil cooler seal fails a gasket off your old oil filter works at least on a 99 1.8t. Friendly heads up been running mine with that for like two months now no leaks

yeahhhhhh....... I have been asking for my carfax from when I bought my car and my step dad finally got it so I could look over it again.... it was from 2011 and no one caught that, so I have no idea what the records were from 2011-present. I just don't feel like paying 40 dollars for a car fax...

I'll be doing an engine swap in the 2001 B5.5 sedan I just picked up (with a blown engine). As a result, the torque converter will be off the trans. I figured it makes sense to drain as much fluid out of the TC as possible while it's removed. I'll also be dropping the trans pan and changing...

The owner tried to calculate how much he spent on maintenance, this picture is the result... :P :lol:

LiveLeak.com - Brutal Crash on Icy Highway Truck vs SUV just to let you know it is brutal, no gore but the imagination fills in all the blanks, but it is so sad, a simple skid turns so bad in a second. words just cant describe it.

Ok, so I got the P741 code and the tranny started leaking a little. So I pull out the tranny to get the TC rebuilt and replace the seal. Most TC just slide right off, this one is stuck on. I've never seen anything like this. I tried to pull hard on the little center nub with channels...

I read about this setup some time ago, was instantly fascinated by the very idea, and I looked pretty dilligently for a while to find actual proof of it's existence, but came up with nothing. I think I first read about it on Wikipedia and I chalked it up to some jerk adding cool-sounding crap...

PPI 356CS 6.5" components for $110 shipped, pretty sweet comps if you're on a budget. For under $150 I don't think you'll find much better. Rebadged a/d/s. I just picked up a set for fun mostly. Anyone have any first had experience with these? $110 after microsoft cash back...

Car question. I installed a new cone air filter. I need a heatshield. I've searched endlessly on "the last intake thread" and I can't find a writeup on how to make one myself. Please help me if you can thank you. It's just not being efficient. I replaced the stockbox due to losing those...

I just installed some new faux "knock" offs for SNKVNNM. Since my car wasn't built to be an exact replica, I took liberty with the "Cobra" center emblem. Purists will hate me but see if I care!

Let me know what ya think... I haven't posted pics in a WHILE... The Fjord blue grew on me and now I love it... Sorry for the dirty rain pics... They're the most recent... I wish I had window tint, but I'd rather not get pulled over (and my eyes suck at night).

What a completely ****ty day... I go to the VW dealership to pick up my coolant temperature sensor since mine went bad. My friend and I go to the mall to get a bite to eat, and when we get out, we decide to install it in the parking lot. We had a 30 minute drive back, and we wanted to have...
