Of course the 30 mile drive isnt that bad for me. but i would really like to make it to a meet. money is kinda tight though so the closer the better.

If Paul has one, you could ride with us. If we bring the Spyder, there will be two vehicles because we will trailer the Spyder there. But if we do that, we usually end up staying the night at a hotel.

Boomer, please take this gift as a new avatar. Every time I read one of your posts, I have a bad flashbacks to DMV visits. I will not be offended if you don't like it.

Granny, my wife's 91 AT AWD TSI starter just crapped out, is there an easy way to pull it? I've only seen a handful of starters mounted above the center line of the crank.

What do you think said car with adjustable KYBs, tein springs, energy suspension bushings all the way around, 17" wheels tucked in tight (had to roll the front inner lip just a bit) barely clears the struts, auto awd trans, and every option minus a sunroof, is worth? The engine is all factory, runs good, needs valve stem seals (puffs on initial start after sitting a few days), leaks oil here n there. Trans shifts good, new OD clutch pack 30k ago. The interior is out for refinishing, (converting to black) has new speakers all the way around, clarion CD player. Chassis is straight, has odd dents here n there, paint is trash. Has complete factory TSI moldings/spoiler. Color is the dime a dozen red w/black top.

You can probably get to it my removing the battery and IC piping. Then remove the down pipe and drop it from underneath the car.

Hope that helps.

Helps alot, my FSM is a bit vauge about the starter. I could only find mention of it in the trans removal section.

I'm at the point where I am ready to sell the car, running or for parts. Sad because I was committed to finishing the car.

3000GT40 This one kinda sucked to do. Nothing seemed to work the way I wanted it too.

We have thought about doing one here at the house, but not too sure how many people would be willing to drive. Oh and if Paul doesn't show up (with a grill and deep fryer), there will be no food.

I guess we can try to pull something together before it gets too cold.
