introduce yourself

[sml]

Hey everyone, as PKG grows I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread strictly used for getting to know everyone. I urge everyone to introduce themselves.
holla, I guess that means I should start.... I'm Adam, I started ProjektGerman because I wanted to create more awareness of German Auto in the area and increase the number of GTG's and events accesable to drivers like us:TU:

I am Jeff (aka Head) I like cars and working on cars but I hate adam

I am here to offer mechanical knowledge and general theory (possibly some hookups but that is a little further down the road)

Adam post up that pic of us drinking in the riv that will let these folks know what I look like (its a far better pic than my last mugshot I assure you)

Hey I'm Stefan, 20yrs old living in Cedar Falls, IA. I went to U of Iowa for a year but just work now, contracted by the IRS. Drive a '99 A4 1.8t Quattro with no mods as of yet, doing all the maintenance over the winter (read: LOTS of maintenance) then the modding begins next spring. GIAC, k04 or t28, supporting, etc. I'm VERY excited there's gonna be a local scene.. I'll definitely be in the GTG threads.

zie Audi and myself (hardly rock the hawk :D )

My name is Mike. I guess since I am MECP certified that makes me the car audio/electronics guy here. If you need wire diagrams for any car let me know. I can get access to ignition wire codes, door lock wires, bypass info, and I have a Vag com. When not at work I am Toting my three girls around to soccer practices or games. Here is a pic of me at Battle of the Imports in Illinois. I was the only VW racing amongst all the Hondas. They could of just called it battle of the Hondas. Another pic is of me at the state DB contest. I am the one in the driver seat. http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/1420/dsc00087lk2.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

does this mean you can install car audio? or are good with a soldering iron? lol i need some help (read: someone to do it for me) soldering on some OEM radio plugs onto the severed wire harness in my car. whoever owned it before me snipped the plugs off, so i bought a new set to reinstall. once they are installed i can finally order my adapter harness and put the CD player in my car. its been sitting at my apartment for about a month now...lol

[Gee Tea Eye V]

MECP certified is what u have to be to be an audio installer at best buy so im sure he could help u out lol :TU:

[IDG4EVER]

HELLO! I am Ivan. Just moved here from Cali. I am used to warm weather, hot girls and race tracks. Here in Iowa, I know I am not going to get good weather and hot girls with teeth... Where are the damn tracks.

[Gee Tea Eye V]

car looks great man!

[Loccusst]

Yeah, I can do it for you. Rather easy actually. I am in the process of trying to fool my car into working with a Viper 791 alarm and car starter. The problem is that the car is basicly one giant computer with a motor. As the cars become more advanced the harder it becomes to install aftermarket things on them. Most of your pro shops you have to be MECP certified. Unfortunately at Best Buy and your local Mom and Pop shops you meerly need a pulse. Best Buy requires you to pass thier certification. Then within 90 days you are supposed to get basic MECP certification, but I do not know a single store that follows that. It wouldn't take long to put your radio in. Let me know when you want it done.

[DSV]

Yeah, I can do it for you. Rather easy actually. It wouldn't take long to put your radio in. Let me know when you want it done.

well, i still need to buy the adapter harness to go from my Alpine deck to the stock plugs, but I'll keep you posted. i appreciate your offer. ;) :tu:

i'll be down in urbandale full-time over the break between semesters, and my weekends are usually free. i'm sure we can work out a time. :D

[hdiaS4]

Yo guys, my name is Haime Dias 24(today), i'm originaly form Brazil and came here to go to school in Computer and Electronics Eng, grad in dec06(about a week). I love audis and vw for while, my dad had 81 beatle, than a 87 Gol(kind like a golf but not really), than a 94 santana. Untill i saw my first b5 audi that completely rocked my world. So on my junior year 03, i got myself a 1998.5 A4 1.8tqm, and started the mod fever. soon came to realized i should've gotten a S4, well so i pull the trigger this year in june. now i have a 2001.5 Audi S4 STG-3+ with about 500whp with a list of mods that would take over a page to write them all, my dream car.
If you have any questions about modding audis i have a real good background so feel free to ask.

here is a pic of the beast!!!

great lookin car man, one of my fav parts about ur car is when u look at it, ur not expecting it to have 500hp haha and i think its got a good look to, like the front grill :tu:

[DSV]

yeah, its definitely a sleeper. the car looks killer without blurting out it packs 500hp inside.

[vwslut]

Hey guys, I'm Sara. Not sure if I am the only girl on here for right now, have not looked around much yet. Ive been on the urotrash forum for a few years, really good friends with a few of the guys on there. I joined this one by invitation and noticed its an Iowa forum. I go to ISU (freshman) and know Jake also on this forum. I drive a mk3 jetta, 97 GLS. I recently got new drilled breaks and an TT exhaust:) , and I am getting new drum(haha) in spring. Thanks for having me on the forum!

[sml]

Welcome, we have a couple other girls on the forum.... One of them lives in Southern CA, the other lives in Arizona and is moving to IOwa in the Spring. :tu:

you didn't happen to bring your jetta down recently, did you? i saw a black mk3 jetta with what looked like a couple stickers in the rear 1/4 windows last night driving on S. Duff and then the car look a left just past Panera. the car also had MN plates on it....

Nope not me. My dad wont let me have it down here till next year. But im strongly pushing for next semester, cause with the snow i Need to be able to get to the hockey games and other places. Ill tell you if i bring it down

[Gee Tea Eye V]

hey whats up, welcome to pkg

[iowaboostin]

Glad to be here, just doing this maintenance is KILLING ME. I'm a DSMer at heart (sold my GST and GSX) and have the mod bug bad. It's taken every bit of strength not to drop every penny into this :)

you should be used to doing maintenance as a former DSM owner though, right? hehe :D j/k

if i ever have any maintenance to do, i'm always itching to upgrade it at the same time. :twisted:

I'm more than used to it.. hence why I'm doing all the maintenance FIRST on the Audi :D I need this to be reliable-ish. This weekend will be fun, here's the maintenance work for Saturday: timing belt/roller/water pump/tensioner, ac belt, ps belt, alternator belt, coolant flush, thermostat, air filter, valve cover gasket, snub mount, 710n DV and then spark plugs/seafoam/oil change if the stuff gets here in time (don't think it will). If anyone's in the area and you wanna help out, by all means let me know :cool: beer will be supplied.

that's definitely a good plan. i applaud you for that. :tu: i ought to do a full tune-up on my dub as well, but that will probably have to wait until this spring when MUCH warmer weather arrives.

Page 2. I finaly figured out how to post something you didn't need a magnifying glass for.

ahh, i see it now. i assume you're the one in the driver seat? i'm guessing those two photos aren't both from the same time? lol

"It looks like this VW has brought his own pit crew."

**small horde of men in blue MECP polos swarm the GTI and change all four tires in 6.79 seconds**

[Loccusst]

LMAO!!! Yeah, that would be funny. We did have a swarm at the DB show. They talked me into competing at the last minute in the DB drag competition. I was already there to show what we could do and was entered in the car show. I think everyone was just swarmed around my car to play the 360. I have changed the hatch area completely and removed the 360 since then.

[DSV]

man, an Xbox 360 in the car!?!? i don't even have a CD player hooked up yet, lol.

so since you are a pro-audio installer, do you have a large amount of stereo equipment in your car? or not? myself, i won't be going much farther than getting the CD player in there and replacing some speakers if they're blown. as long as i can hear the music, that's fine with me. i'd rather spend the money elsewhere. ;)

[iowaboostin]

I'll be more than happy to 'advertise' PKG around my area.. Cedar Falls Raceway of course is shut down for the year but come springtime I can go recruiting! Is there gonna be a logo for PKG? I can make a stencil and tag some road signs :) (of course I'll post pics)

[Gee Tea Eye V]

we are working on getting business cars so that if u see an audi/vw that looks like they would be interested and even if they dont u can stick one on their windshield. when we get those itl be really easy to promote pkg. and if i knew more about cars i would totally help non the less i am useless lol. i know alot about audi/vws but not how to do much... dumb i know. anyways...

im doing performance first then im doing audio, even tho itl be hard for me because i like the stock head unit... haha

[iowaboostin]

Is there a Phatnoise option for VW? That's something to look into if you like the stock HU.

[Loccusst]

Yes there is. With the stock MKV head unit you have to get the soft clipping taken care of before you do anything else. I removed the 360 and most of the stuff installed in the back for the car show. It is rather easy to throw everything back in when I do need to go to a show though. I have a home theater set up in my car......yes I watch movies on long trips, mostly movies I have seen so it's more for keeping me awake. I try to not watch action movies in the car.

[Gee Tea Eye V]

i got the soft clipping issue fixed already when jordan fixed my airbag light problem. but why dont u watch racing movies while ur driving :D

[iowaboostin]

Loccusst - you'll be hearing from me in the spring when I *attempt* to install a single-DIN DVD/CD/MP3 player in my Audi :) I'm audio-retarded.

[John2.0T]

Loccusst - you'll be hearing from me in the spring when I *attempt* to install a single-DIN DVD/CD/MP3 player in my Audi :) I'm audio-retarded.

Oh man I'm in the same boat...

I desperately want to install a double-DIN HU, new door speakers, tweeters, amp and subs but i just dont think its going to happen. That ish is way over my head.

[Gee Tea Eye V]

its not really that bad to put in

[iowaboostin]

Oh man I'm in the same boat...

I desperately want to install a double-DIN HU, new door speakers, tweeters, amp and subs but i just dont think its going to happen. That ish is way over my head.

Do you know how to even remove the stock HU? I'm guessing there'll just be a couple clips I can poke at with really thin screwdrivers and it'll pop out? I had to disconnect my battery while I fixed my headlight switch and lost my security code, need that radio S/N now :(

[John2.0T]

There is a little tool thingy that goes right into the open slots to release it.

I have no idea what it looks like - I assume you could manage with a small flathead screwdriver. I've been lurking around the Telematics forum on AZ and AW and there is alot of useful info there. I'm not planning on tackling this until late spring or summer. We shall see.

[stollen]

My name is Mike. I guess since I am MECP certified that makes me the car audio/electronics guy here.

Hey hey now, you aren't the only car audio guy here, you should know what my username stands for ;)

I may not know color codes and I refuse to work with alarms, but if you need a guy that knows his way around some fiberglass or other tricky stuff I may be of assistance. I have built a couple systems in past cars, and judged for USACi for years. I have kind of gotten out of it lately though, I am more of a home audio guy now (finally have pieced together a respectable system at home), but I still have some love for car audio.

[DSV]

i always figured the USAC had something to do with the military, lol. i guess "USAC Judge" makes sense now.

[Gee Tea Eye V]

sounds pretty sweet! i love home theatre tho lol car audio is sweet but more people come to my place

[stollen]

sounds pretty sweet! i love home theatre tho lol car audio is sweet but more people come to my place

Thats what I thought, and it is much easier to get a home stereo to sound good than a car stereo. My 2 channel home system consists of a Rotel receiver, Rotel CD player, Dunlavy speakers and an NHT sub, with nice cables all around. The home theater is a Denon receiver, Rotel DVD player and NHT speakers (some with rebuilt crossovers) and sub.

Oh, and here is a pic of me and the new wife, we got married this past October:

http://web.mac.com/gjstoll/iWeb/Site/Wedding%20Photos_files/IMG_2493.jpg

[DSV]

^^ congrats man! :tu: by this past October, do you mean two months ago? or a year ago? my wife and i are coming up on our one year wedding anniversary in january. its cool to know there's at least one other newlywed guy on here. ;)

[stollen]

Almost two months (officially 2 months on the 14th). :tu:

[DSV]

that's awesome man, congrats again. :tu: did she get the new Audi out of the deal? lol :D i must have missed that part when my wife and i got married... ;)

[Gee Tea Eye V]

congrats man! sound system sounds killer too :tu:

[Loccusst]

Congrats!!! Between the two of us I am sure we could tackle most car stuff. I haven't done fiberglass but alarms are a cake walk for me in most cars. The tool you guys talk about is a specialty tool. It is called a radio key. Basicly it is a flatened out hook. But I am always up for helping people out. I am gonna help out mike here in a bit I forgot to check my hours for next week. I know Monday is out since I have two soccer games Monday night.

[DSV]

I know Monday is out since I have two soccer games Monday night.

who has two games that night? you or your kids? lol. i used to play on a traveling team back in the day, plus a couple years on the high school squad. i've thought it would be nice to get back into it to help stay in shape, but i don't know what Des Moines has in place for adult teams, or if they even have anything like that.

[stollen]

that's awesome man, congrats again. :tu: did she get the new Audi out of the deal? lol :D i must have missed that part when my wife and i got married... ;)

Actually she bought the Audi before we were even engaged. She has had the thing for a year and 3 months and only has 11,xxx miles on it :eek: She still drives her old car quite a bit. She got the Nikon D200 digital SLR as a wedding gift from me, I got a nice 8 foot pool table from her :D

[Blacktie+]

You guys are HORRIBLE about getting off topic! LOL
SO I can introduce myself....
I'm Josh Angus, (hence the crack in the other thread)
I'm 26, married since Sept 04. I have a 4 month old daughter now. My first car was a diesel rabbit. It was just transportation and I wasn't really into vws untill another guy wanted me to take another gas rabbit off his hands because he was going to send it to the scrapper. In the process of fixing it up I got addicted.
Here is a picture of it in its former glory. I raced autox with it.
http://www.hostdub.com/albums/BlackTie/P4020001.sized.jpg
I sold that about two years ago or something like that and was dubless untill this past fall when I finally convinced a 70 year old guy to sell me his 85 jetta coupe that he was the second owner of, (his nephew was the original).
Here is a picture just after I got it in sept.
http://www.hostdub.com/albums/BlackTie/sept_2006_005.sized.jpg
The gti in the background I bought as a parts car.
It is pretty well completely torn down right now. It should be back together some time in march I am guessing.
So I am more into old school dubs. Since I am married with a little one, my group activities will be pretty limited. Oh and I live in Nevada.

[Overdub]

figured i might as well post up as well - lol

my name is TJ, and i'm in Ames going to ISU (why else would i be here??) and here is my '99 B5 Passat that manages to take all my money with mods...or by force when something breaks :banghead ....still love it though---dammit:D

[DSV]

welcome to PKG, Josh. your jetta coupe looks really slick. glad to have you on board.

off-topic? what's that? :D

[iowaboostin]

The tool you guys talk about is a specialty tool. It is called a radio key. Basicly it is a flatened out hook.

Is there any way around this? I don't want to spend $70+ at the dealer just to take 5mins to pull my radio. Anyway the radio s/n can be looked up by VIN?

[Head at JJperf]

go to www.installer.com they are 11.00

google is your friend

I also have some mobile audio expierence (did SQ for a while in my old mustang) now I am the buyer for a 12 volt distirbutor never did the MECP thing but I know how to wire, install, fab (in wood, metal and FG) although I need more practice on the FG stuff (projects for the winter are kickpanels and new trunk/box layout) plus I know how to do upholstery

[iowaboostin]

go to www.installer.com they are 11.00

Thanks for the link. The 'VW / Audi / Mercedes Radio Removal Tools' for $9.50 I assume?

[Head at JJperf]

there are a few different ones on there but yea any of them will work especially since it is not going to be a tool you need to use a lot there is no point in buying the more expensive one.

[Loccusst]

In response to who has the games... My youngest does at the sport complex out by JJ Performance near Waukee. It was funny the other night we went out there and I was like "So that's where JJ Performance is". I wish they had adult leagues for people like me who haven't done it since college. I asked Hendo what he was doing next week and we thought of a good night to do it...how is Friday? He is going to bring over his GTI too. By the way he is on here somewhere...he kinda lurks in forums.

[Head at JJperf]

I"So that's where JJ Performance is".

Oh shit...they found me

[stollen]

I have been meaning to ask, what exactly is JJ Performance?

[Head at JJperf]

I have been meaning to ask, what exactly is JJ Performance?

I am going to let Adam handle this question

[sml]

I think J&J can be best described by it's many slogans.

"Not a Damn Thing"
"Adding Class Through Inaction"
"Ferraris, Maseratis, High Life and low lifes"
"drunk and turning wrenches"
"If it's not illegal we haven't touched it yet"
"because it's a loaner"
"beats a reach around from a fat guy"
"Inspiration via power tools and a six pack"
"not the midas touch"

the list goes on, but i hope this clears things up :D

[Loccusst]

I just happened to look at the building....not exactly something that sticks out at you. What do you guys do by the way? I was wondering too.

[sml]

not alot... to sum it up, J&J was more or less an excuse to buy all the professional equipment to be unprofesssional

[DSV]

not alot... to sum it up, J&J was more or less an excuse to buy all the professional equipment to be unprofesssional

hilarious! best excuse ever! i need to get down to DSM and check this place out. :tu: :D

[Loccusst]

I'll have to swing by sometime.

[Gee Tea Eye V]

its a sweet place

[Loccusst]

I am asuming it is a shop, but what do you guys do there? Stock car, aftermarket performance, auto accessories?

[sml]

its a shop, we dont do consumer vehichles though.... stricktly for our enjoyment

[Loccusst]

How do you make money and keep it open? I want one!!!

[DSV]

i think since he's got a maserati, building a nissan drift car, an X5 as a winter beater, plus other cars i don't remember, that money isn't really a problem, lol.... :D

[Loccusst]

True.....true. I think I found my new best friend. LOL :D

[Gee Tea Eye V]

lol yeah they shop is pretty sweet :tu:

[sml]

I dont like him for his personality:eek: :D

[Head at JJperf]

I hate you too adam

[at1ce]

I'm probably the oldest sumbitch here. :D As you can tell from my sig, I have had a few Audis and many cars or trucks. My name is Chuck, I'm in Omaha, but originally from New Jersey. I don't do too many of the GTGs because I'm old, well not that old, but not in the best of health. Long story, blah, blah, blah. I probably would feel out of place with most you people of less years ;) but I'll retire before you all do :cool:

I'm just about to turn my TT in and hit a f..king deer while going to work the other day :banghead . It's around $4500 damage and it's being fixed as we speak. PITA, but it could have been a lot worse.

My new A3 should be here any day and I can't wait. I've done mods on all my Audis yet I'm not really a lug nut or mechanic type, but I've been greatly impressed by the German cars.

[iowaboostin]

Welcome Chuck, we need a few more Audi guys, these v-dubs have us outnumbered :D

[Gee Tea Eye V]

u should love the govag guys then, most of them are audi guys :tu:

Hey Curt, welcome :) I'm gonna be doing a full detail on my car in the spring (probably with Adam's Polishes products), I'll most likely be asking for tips later on.

That sig quote is bothering me, it's way familiar but I can't remember where it's from..... Boiler Room? I'm gonna kick myself when I figure it out.

[DSV]

welcome to PKG, Curt. :tu:

[Gee Tea Eye V]

welcome curt! glad to have ya

[Overdub]

Hi, I'm Curt, a buddy of Adams...I own a detail shop and run an Xpress Lube in Des Moines...

I'm an ex-football star, I make 2 grand an hour, I can cook the worlds best duck flambe, I drive italian sports cars, and have a red waterbed that puts hugh hefners mansion to shame, I take the pick of the litter girls jockey for me, I'm only here for the game, I dont need these lines to get laid...

So yeah, that about sums it up...oh yeah, in reality I just hang out with Adam cause my wife lets me stay out later and do shots when he's around...

wooo...full detail shop you say....mabie offer a PKG memeber discount? i got swirl marks out the a$$ that need to be taken care of :D

[sml]

Oh. He's giving us a discount. Why else would I let him whore himself on here like this?:D

love you Curt!

[Fast Charley]

Unfortunatley....the ugly SOB is right! Im a whore, then again, aren't we all in one way or another???

Im not sure if Im doing this thread right, or if I'm supposed to respond individually, but that being said... here goes

Tanks to all who welcomed me, you guys do better than Adam, I have to make my wife call to get him to pick up...(thats right, he wants to bang my wife)...you all seem really into your craft which I admiore greatly, and the real reason for which I joined his site, not to whore my business out like some kind of cheesy promoter, Shine Autoworks, that is...1242 Park Ave....5157792608, by appointment only, ANYWAY!!! HA!

But really, I'm an ex dubber, only cuz I have 2.47 kids, a dog, and cant afford a Toureg. So I dig the whole scene, and usually can keep up in any convo that isn't WAY too far over my head...

Any questions or concerns in regard to automotive finishes, feel free to ask, I have alot of success in my life to give advise on, and plenty of f-ups to warn anybody of!!! So feel free to ask...

If you have a scheduling issue, like booking a job, love to take it but please divert it to my homepage on myspace, I check it much more often, and I just want to save as much space on PKG to give it the respect it's due, WHICH IS ALOT!

Good luck to all of you, and remember...GO BIG GO HARD or GO HOME.

Fast Charley

[Fast Charley]

I've been registered here for a while, and figured while I can't sleep tonight, I might as well do something productive, and introduce myself, and browse around the forums here.

A dirty pic of my car, and a few more in my picture thread. No pics of me, because I'm just a giant douche.

[SirRangeALot]

Guess I never officially introduced myself in the "introduce yourself" forum, but better late than never, right?:D

As most of you know already my name is Jeremy. I am 26 years of age. I bought my first VW back in October of 2005, my baby, a 2002 VW Passat W8. Funny thing is, I was test driving and almost bought a new Accord coupe. At first when my salesman showed me the W8, I just sat in it and was like, "meh, it's okay." But man, once I took it out on the open road, it was love! I hope to stay in the VW family for a long time...unless I get back into a Jeep :D

Here are some pics of my baby:

Hey man, it's all about what you like. If you enjoy it, go for it. No sense in listening to other people trying to bring you down.

Hey man, welcome to PKG. For a place to find other enthusiasts in your area and several fun outings/events each month, Projekt German is definitely the place to be. Currently we've got about 5-6 cars over in the QC area, including several GTIs, an .:R32, a few BMWs and a Mk4 Jetta.

[Romeo A Go-Go]

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g144/nickalausbrown/337.jpg


thats the car. I used to own a V8 RX7 that I built but I sold it a few years back and wanted somthing that didnt suck gas like its going out of style. Always likes VW's and found this one for sale in my area. I can already tell Im be sinking some money into this thing soon.

I'm also a Mod on a local auto forum for the QC. www.qcaaf.com

[DSV]

Looks like a pretty cool forum. Thanks for checking us out. Are there many VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche owners over there?

[Romeo A Go-Go]

not really, Mostly american hotrods. But they give you credit if its a cool car.

My boss used to own a 02-04 (cant remember) M5. He sold it and bought an 02 Maserati...he misses the M5

Welcome to PKG. You'll have a blast at the IC GTG today! :tu:

[rubberpenguin]

ok so i typed this once already and my internet ****ed up ARG!:mad:

anyway. since you asked i will tell whats up with my passat.

ran fine since i bought it put about 9000 mi on it... the whole time i knew it desperately needed ball joints. so i finally got em for free from vincere on here (thank you very much btw) so i put those in one day at work. everything goes fine nice ride i was all happy for about 12 hours. next day i go to work and the clutch goes out. :mad:

order a new one from the part store my work goes through and its two days out at $175. not too bad. so i go home and start workin on my car. i figure about 4 hours to pull... done plenty of clutches and usually pull in about 1.5 hours... allowed for extra time due to the VW and the garage not lift scenario.

so i get the stuff all started and its goin good get to the axle shaft nuts and i dont have the 12 point socket. so done for the first night. get the socket from work the next day and get goin again get the shaft nut off and try my usual method of pushing them back with a lady foot and a hammer. doesnt budge (13 year old car stock shafts... do the math). get the air hammer out and just as it breaks free the end of the shafts basically explode on me. so $100 dollars and i got new ones titanium reinforced... no big deal. move on to the inner and you all know whats comming. in my $35,000 worth of tools never thought i would need a triplesquare socket. :mad: . so... done for the second night. next day i buy them from my snap on guy and get goin again. the rest comes apart real easy.

so 4 hours turned into 3 days. next day... clutch comes in and its wrong... right one prices out for $600 i throw a fit and get it price matched and discounted to $160 (go me) so it comes in and i throw it in (didnt machine the flywheel but ive gotten by before without it so no big) get it all put back together and tried to bleed the system. well the slave cylinder is bad and sucking in air. $100 dollars later problem solved. so i drive it to work the next day. clutch is slippin and car is leakin oil like a siv. so by now im pissed :mad:

i take it home and pull the tranny again this time in about 3.5 hours. rear main is good oil pan is good but i see four bolts missing from what i believe to be the timing cover (not sure as i cant seem to find a service manual for this damn thing) turns out my buddy who was helpin me pulled them out and didnt tell me YAY. so i get them back in machine the flywheel throw it all back together... oil problem solved and i drive it to IC on a business trip.

just got here and clutch is slippin like crazy! i got a defective pressure plate. :mad: :mad: :mad: now when i get home i have to take 2 days off work to get my clutch pulled and replaced and put back in for the 3rd ****ING TIME!

so... sorry for the rant but im sure noone wants to join my world right now.

if anyone has any ideas what else could cause this please let me know. i have never had a clutch give me this much trouble and i do this for a living... ive about had it and the next step is a tranny through the windshield. :D

[turboA4]

oh my!!!!

i dont really have any advice for ya....but thats just redic!!!

man...i hope you get this little guy workin!!!

[CadburyRabbit]

Hi, my name is Ross.

I like cars.

[rubberpenguin]

hey. just thought everyone would like an update... got home last night from IC and changed the clutch again. pulled changed installed in about 5 hours. :tu: everythings workin great now... anyone without a service manual that needs some help on the b4 passat vr6 clutch ask away... maybe i can save someone else my pain. :D

p.s. defective pressure plate was the cause

Whats up guys, heard about the site awhile ago figured I'd check it out now that I'm back at school and have extra time.

I'm from the Maquoketa area originally but I'm in school at UW-Madison currently. I have a Mk2 Jetta GLI with a g60 swap and a few things done.

Looking foward to meeting some of you guys.

Hi everyone, m name is Shelby and I am sickmk3gti's girlfriend and i have the 1999 vw beetle that is sometimes shown on the the front page. I just put the Projekt German decals on my car and I decided to introduce myself. I didn't get to meet everybody and the qc gtg along time ago, but hopefully I will soon. I will post pics of my car with the decals on sometime soon.

Thanks,

Yeah thanks for the tip!:D I like that most of these guys are local and I will actually have a chance to meet some of them.

Next will be tinted side markers and tails. Then in the spring I want to take the gap out of the wheel wells.

Welcome! I'm local but you probably won't be able to spot me on the road because most of the time I cruise around in stealth mode in my Mean Minivan. So if you see an old Dodge Caravan honking at you and waving then it's probably me. Unless you catch me on a day that I'm in my Saab. :drive:

LOL... Don't worry.. I usually drive the B5 to and from work and then hop in the incognito all white super sporty, fly, dope, fast sxt Dodge Minivan.. racing domestics and ricers from stop light to stop light with a full family load.

I'm such a neu-b..... I had to do an internet search to figure out what HP Evos were.:banghead I got it now... These wheels are called Ikon 046 i guess its a look alike but it was like $1000 for all 4 and staggered with tires. The only problem I have is the center cap size is 3" so I have to get some blanks and put a VW emblem in them. Much better than the 15"s and hubcaps:hump:
