    What should be my next baby...

    For my case at least, I have 2 young boys and would rather have a 4dr car b/c of family. Depends on your current and what your future needs would be but it's best to have a good/reliable dd.

    need tips on removing the window motor

    When I had the guide removed with the motor attached to it, I just unbolted the motor from it but then I think that the preloaded spring on the motor just sprung and extended b/c the glass nuts is all the way to the top of the door.

    ?? about MK4 TT wheels + found a source for centercaps??

    Get spacers or adjust your bump stops. I heavily scrapped the inside of my right front tire then it ruined the tire completely. This happened at night time. Good thing I was already on a slow ramp next to a shopping center after driving on the highway. Had the car towed to my home and the...

    need tips on removing the window motor

    Just want to make sure what your saying here is to mount the motor then plug it to the switch and press the down button in order to bring the X down? Then I could attach the guide bolts then the glass nuts.

    need tips on removing the window motor

    I actually did that way one time when I had the window out. Motor bolts first then the guide bolts which made the regulator do an "X" shape. Then, when I was about to put back the glass, I saw that the glass nuts were almost at the very top of the door so I removed all the bolts just to get...

    need tips on removing the window motor

    I did all what you said here IJ but I could not line-up the 3 bolts on the motor. In putting it back together, I started with the 2 nuts on the base of the glass then I put back the two bolts on the guide but then, I could only get on 1 of the 3 motor bolts (the upper left). The motor kept on...

    squeeky brakes

    The pads and rotors are both brand new. Like I said, no problem with the stopping part. Just annoying for the squeeky part. I guess I just need to break them in first. Hehe, got only 60 miles so far. Thanks guys.

    need tips on removing the window motor

    Got the 3 screws (attached to inside door panel) out but the window guide starting to turn could not get to it. Anyone had any tips on this thing? I had the replacement but the brackets did not come with them that are attached on one end to the motor and the other to the door panel.

    squeeky brakes

    They stop really well (Porterfield R4s pads with Brembo blanks/Goodridge SS lines); no complains there but they sometimes squeek. I mean a high pitch sounding squeek. Do you guys experience these problems for those who use them and would they go away after so many miles? Just installed...

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    I got the wheels with them already and only had 6-7 passes on them. The rubbers are now removed that's why I am asking what I would need.
