Bought some calipers from amazon and finally got around to putting 'em on today. In the process I discovered I've got a loose ball joint so I go to amazon to see about getting a couple.

I found Deeza brand ball joints for $25 each, then I get to looking at loaded control arms and I see amazon has deeza ones for $12.31 each with bushings and ball joint!!! So I look around to compare prices 'cause if they're only worth 12 bucks I don't want 'em. Ebay had 'em for $40 each so I buy 2 from amazon and go back to work. Later I check to see if they'd messed up on the price (seen it once before) and they had, now the price is $42.67 each!!! So I got 2 for under 25 bucks............they ain't here yet though.

'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

I was pretty stoked about it haha. I few months ago I missed out on 7 dollar moog tie rod ends just because I didn't jump on it, and I needed to buy at least $25 worth to get free shipping and I couldn't think of anything else soon enough. ::)
