It has been an extremely long 4 months but I wanted to give a big thanks to BD Tuning and Brink Motorsports for helping me get my car back up and running. Finally picked it up today and drove it home.

can't wait until the break in period is over-

long story short---due to cylinder wall damage from pieces of broken (burnt) valves, I had to have the block bored over 1mm. Running JE 83.5mm pistons, IE Rods, Valves and Valve Springs

if anyone wants to see pics, i have some uploaded to my instagram @grizza73

Glad your back on the road Grizza. It's been a long wait. But it will be worth it !

So question is now you have the rods when you going BT ?

probably--- 4 door CSG, sat right there by the front door--- as soon as the motor is nice and broken in you are more than welcome to come for a ride

What's up, Austinites? It looks like this is where I find local friends, right? Last night I was at Alamo Drafthouse in the midst of the tsunami and was struggling to find parking. I kept passing a CW GTI (my twin) and made me think there might be some fellow VW geeks around town.

Anyway, I'm rolling completely stock right now but starting mods as soon as my wheels sell. Would love to get involved.

Cheers,
Jeff

Just picked up my car from Soulspeed Performance. Had Collin install a GFB dV+, a WALK, and perform a full alignment. Top quality work and only costs $200!

Great, thanks for the group info! I'm selling my stock wheels at the moment and going with some 19's, likely Audi RS (I like several though). For suspension I'm either going H&R SS's or Koni coilovers depending on how spendy I feel. Carbonio CAI, front OEM lip spoiler and short throw should also be happening over the next month. I'd like to wrap the roof in in gloss black, too. Many mods in mind but these to me, are the basic essentials.
