So after i;ve been looking around at some old MK2s, girlfriend finally said she would like to have one, or when she gets a new car a GTI. Well I manage to find a 1980 VW Cabrio...in need of a motor, for well comes with a fox for parts...for 750$...maybe cheaper then that since we are only going to take teh Cabrio. I Finally got her in the dub world... ;D , not sure if its going to be a AAZ or a VR6... hehehe it only took her a year to come over to teh dub side.
-
Make sure it doesn't become full of problems, or she may become a 'dub hater! :(

She knows most of the problems with dubs, If we do get the cabrio its going to take all summer but i'll make sure the Body and everyting is in good shape before I drop in a motor. Shes got a New car right now. Plus I know where there is a MK2 GLI. She was looking at a New GTI also lol.

The warden finally wants a dub eh Catlin.. NiCe!

-
The MK3's are good cars, Just beware for the floors rusting out. So tomorrow is the fun day where we get to go play with some new VW ;D I'm hoping they have a GTI, And Yes we are going to try out a TDI...its almost an hour trip to the closest dealer for us lol
-
VR6 >:( BAH i'd take a 4cyl gasser before a heavy ass VR6
-
I've got a 2.0l aba in my wolfsburg at the moment and I don't like it so i'm trying to track down a VR6 for it instead, i would go with diesel but its alot of work
-
So almost a year later...and She traded then accent in last night on a 2010 Golf City, The GTI and Diesels where out of the price range. Now the fun starts, she had a small crash course on driving standard in my car yesterday, today I get the leave the lot with it and once I hit the highway shes driving lol.
-
Teach her to start only using the clutch, no throttle at all in a parking lot. Once she can do that, the rest is gravy.

I showed her yesterday with my car, and my car is hard as hell to drive, The gears are sticky, the clutch requires alot of force to push and its VERY picky on how yopu take off, take off wrong it will stall...I spin all teh time l;ol
-
Explain to her how a clutch actually works, that's what finally helped me understand how to drive a stick.

Same here! Understanding what pushing your foot to the floor is doing, helps a lot. Just like anything i suppose.
-
You are lucky if your GF wants to know how it works. My wife just wants to drive it and the theory is meaningless...
-
When I taught my sister how to drive the theory helped even though she didn't want to hear it.
Any pics of the new vehicular?
-
My gf knows how the clutch works she helped me install it on my MK3 ;D, Picked yup the new City today, Nice driving car, she drove it most of the way home but didnèt feel comfirtable driving on the highway yet since stick is new concept for her lol
-
Any pics of the new vehicular?
Friday Night I will snap a couple pictures after it gets tinted. She doesnèt want any pictures taking yet lol
-
Sweet Catlin. Looking forward to seeing it. Careful what you burden your self with!
my deeze is a hell of upkeep in it's self but then again its always been my own fault :P
stupid rod... *disgruntled grumbling*
-
Got the sun strip put on this morning, 7 inchs across the top of the entire windshiled is blacked out, and with the tint tomorrow at Limo 5% you wonèt be able to see in even thou the fronts arenèt tinted, its going to look sweet
-
Dropped the car off yesterday morning for tint, the last time the shop did work for us it came out just beautiful. so 8PM last night both of us just finished 12hour shift from a distance we see the car and it looked GREAT. Get up to it and Noticed Airbubbles EVERYWHERE....the tint was crooked and there is dust inside the tint...and it looks horrible...Going to go after Nat wakes up to the shop and hopefully they will fix it, It all needs to be re done.
Ill try and get a picture today at a distance :P
-
Alot of the bubbles came out of the tint.
