North America's First Turbo Diesel VW Fox

[JGWarner]

I wasn't commenting on the pictures.  I was making a bit of a snobby (and possibly obscure) comment about slumming it on the Vortex.   

OH. Gotcha.

Yeah, I only have the main thread there because this forum wasn't allowing new member registration until a few days ago.

Also it's the only active Fox community around. Seriously, we're alot better than the average vortex crowd, I promise. It makes the transition to diesel very natural.

When you're ready to delete the cruise bracket and canister from the pump, let me know 

I already removed the bracket (wow it's heavy duty) and the rubber diaphragm off the IP. Still holds air.

Are you sure you want it? It's got a lil turd polish on it.

No need to polish it. I've got plenty here. I've got half a dozen turds in my yard right now. I buy it in the 5-gallon buckets.

It may be too much to read, but it's written for Foxers who are unfamiliar with the holy word of diesel. 

New convert zeal.

and I thought I was the only one who got it in 5 gallon pails. Although as of recent I've been eyeing up a 55 gallon drum.

Yeah, well I only polish them right before I start driving them. After that, they never get washed again. Seriously.

Thumbs up on your project from Moodus! 

[JGWarner]

Moodus! Holy crap, I've lived in CT all my life and you're the first person from Moodus I've ever met!

Updates in the 'tex thread, and I purchased some engine enamel today. Things are going to start looking spiffy.

 Ever hear of Greg Zipidelli? (sp) 

 I joke about it-if you have a pick up truck with a gun rack--you're from Moodus. If you have a Land rover with a 100 club badge on it, you're  from East Haddam.  (same town pretty much)
 Its like you never hear anyone worrying social climbing saying their from Rockville-they're from Vernon.

My brother lives in Millington. Not technically a town, but a part of East Haddam that's about 3 minutes from Moodus. He's got a 1996 Green Passat with about 300k on it, and a 2001 Golf TDI with about 250k on it.

More updates in the vortex build thread. Possible oil filter clearance issues?

Only been out a few years, they replaced the Lupo. I don't recognise your Fox as anything we ever got. The new Fox doesn't seem to sell as well as the Lupo did though.
