    Hey, who’s that fabricator up in Arlington again? Got a buddy trying to get his wrangler front straightened out and bumper built at the same time.

    Well when they are building for people with deep pockets who just want a show car why not use leer visors.

    They do awesome work though not meaning to sound like im taking that away from them!

    New diesel injector nozzles that allow him to flush money down the toilet at a high rate of speed.

    Sort of, as long as i stay out of the throttle (unlikely to happen) i will actually get better MPG’s. So far I’ve only done two partial fill ups averaging 39MPG. The first tank was high freeway miles which resulted in 42. The second tank was only 36MPG and is mainly my daily commute. Ever since i hogged the Catalytic converter out, I’ve been enjoying the turbo whistle and tractors sounds this little thing makes:D

    Replaced my injector nozzles with larger +30 hp ones. I doubt I’ll see a 30hp gain at the wheels since i havent tuned the ECU yet. It does turn this pig of a car into a slightly quicker pig

    Got it. That is why you only had four injectors in your hand... Not for the truck:anonymous:

    Mostly talking shit. I’m a life long VW fanatic. Currently have a TDI sitting in the driveway.

    HPA Motorsport used to do a lot with the TDI’s. Mail in ecu tuning and what not. They start producing swap kits to put the Vw motors in jeeps and started a new company around the TDI stuff. Can’t think of the name at the moment.

    I need a daily. Is this the move? I dated a girl with a bug and that thing was a nightmare to work on. VW new beetle, not chlamydia for the record.

    It’s a pretty good move. I picked up a 2014 TDI sportwagen with 38k miles and just about every option for $14k. It hauls ass and gets 40+ mpg. You can find the TDI scandal cars for super cheap right now.

    my first car was a 82 VW Scirocco and was easy to work on. I will also need a daily at some point and thinking about it. My other thought was a used corolla or camry. Not sure which would be easier to work on. VW seems more fun though.

    I was thinking almost definitely a corolla
