Yellow Sub

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , on June 30, 2009 by ekhatch

Thanks to Dave and xBtony for hitting me with updates on this one. I posted this box a while back when it just had the pipes and I mentioned I hoped it was the start of something big and the owner has NOT disappointed! Rears are an absolutely mind blowing 15×13 -119. Yea, let that sink in a minute. I love it because there’s no going back, you can’t just unbolt a few things and have this one back to stock in a weekend. He’s all in and not done yet, this one’s going to be crazy, and I love crazy! It clocks in at 84 inches wide, for reference a Hummer H1 is only 2 inches wider. Shouts to the gang at clubxB for keeping the fun in the car game.

Jordan Fever

I don’t like to repost stuff from other blogs that everyone visits anyway, but I’m making an exception for this pic from SpeedHunters. You just aren’t likely to see this many Jordans in one spot again for a very long time.

I Saw One of These Yesterday

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , on June 27, 2009 by ekhatch

I stared and stared at this thing in my rear view, they’re pretty crazy looking when they’re right behind you. I was hoping I’d get to see it turn but never did, supposedly has a 40 degree lean angle. It looked like I was being chased by some kind of Segway/Vespa/Cyberdyne contraption.

After sweating my balls off waxing my daily today I think this will be my next mod. Fully bedlined Audi A4, owner claims he can beat it with a wrench and stab it with a screw driver and not leave a mark. No more dings, chips, waxing, etc is sounding pretty good to me right now.

I mentioned earlier this week that if I came across a scanner I’d scan some photos of my old Scirocco, well I did find an office at work that had one so I dug through a shoebox full of my old photos. Man, talk about memories coming back, seeing pix of people you thought you’d be friends with forever that you haven’t talked to in 15 years, places you forgot you went, things you can’t believe you did. Time flies man. Anyway, these are from 1992 so I was 20 at the time, I loved this car it was a little screamer. I know by today’s standards for VWs it’s nothing special but keep in mind this was 17 years ago and the car was already 16 years old! I remember this rally phase I was going through with all the lights and the big Wolfsburg mudflaps lol I’ll be posting more of my memory lane scans here soon

As far as I can remember the mod list was Kamei air dam, Neuspeed springs and sway bars, Bilstein struts, poly bushings, Ansa header, Monza muffler, ported head, heavy duty valve springs (no pesky rev limiters back then, just spin it up til the valves float), Metal Master pads, and of course those totally bitchin’ louvers, damn it I can’t remember who made those now. I can’t remember what those wheels were off of either, maybe a MK II Scirocco?

Even found some pix of my first girlfriend, I can’t help but wonder what she’s doing these days, she could be pretty annoying but we had some good times, kinda like the Scirocco lol! You never forget your first
