hehe, been telling you for a while man get a tdi!

There are some guys that get the PD170 engine from europe, add a bigger turbo and tune and get about 240hp and 400 tq. Its not much compared to wrx power, but they are still getting 1000kms per tank! and ohh you dont need to deal with emission with TDI's for now! Smile

so im going to be taking the winter beater off of the road and selling it, and ive learned a couple of things...dont buy a 20 year old diesel vw.....
paid $800 for the car, $150 for brakes and $350 for exhaust to pass safety.
Then the rear shocks were shot, splurged a bit on raceland coilovers, $550, then the next week the master cylinder went $350....then the following week the pass side caliper seized $200.... and to top if all off the week after i smashed the rear window putting an air compressor in the trunk for leo....
wasted so much money on the POS, but i had fun...and the fuel millage was great 900kms per tank... here are some pics of my off roading adventures.....soo glad to be getting the focus back on the road...

   
the one and only snow storm it saw
   
made an air box and cut a hole in the fender
   
got a little muddy
