Still Lost
03-07-2008, 10:49 AM
Whats up guys! A friend of mine on here told me about the site and we could all use another forum in our lives so here I am.
This is no where near my first auto forum and I highly doubt my last either.
As for me, I'm 23 and seem to be bouncing around locations from Philly, to KoP, West Chester, and back home in Cherry Hill...always on the move. I'm a senior at Drexel University and I'm also working on launching my own consumer product (I'll keep you guys posted b/c I'll be giving out free samples when it goes live). Other than that I'm usually found snowboarding, mountain biking, working on cars, and hopefully kite-surfing this year.
Both cars I've had I've personally done ALL the work on them (minus the paint on the Jetta), so needless to say I'm not bad around the garage.
As for background, I've played with Euro's for the most part. Started out w/ a 98 Jetta 2.0 and proceeded to go nuts on it. I regret selling this car all the time. The mod list included:
Keskin KT5 16x9 (rear) and 16x7.5(front)
Weitec TX Fully Adj. Coilovers (dampening and height)
Reiger Front Lip
Shaved Front/Rear Bumpers
Euro Front End conversion (rebar/rad support)
Smoked E-Codes
FK Rear M3 Style Tails
Clear Blinkers and Fogs
Cup Mirrors
Full Brake Upgrade to Mintex Pads, Brembo X-Drilled/Slotted Rotors, SS-Lines
Short Shift
Full operational Corrado speed activated wing
Full Respray
And I'm sure a bunch of other odds and ends. That was the final product, I went through several hoods, wheels, and bumpers prior.
Currently I have a 99 Audi A4 1.8Tqm and although not as crazy as the Jetta it has it's fair share of work:
Bailey DV
Spec LWFW
SouthBend Stage 2 Kevlar Clutch
Tantrum Wrks 2.5 DP
AWE Full Catback Exhaust
H&R Sports on Koni Reds
Clear Sides
GIAC Chip
S4 Wheels
Bacially the A4 has turned into a DD and is getting beat to hell (living in the city for a year will do that), it's got 162,xxx on it so I really don't plan to do much more in terms of mods, just keep it clean and use it for commuting.
I also had a 1984 Rabbit project car for a hot second but due to life changes I had to sell it b/c I had no time to do jack on it:cry:
I also dable a little bit in paint, by no means am I great at it but it's a fun hobby to mess around with it. below I included a picture of a motorcycle I built and painted.
Later this year I plan on entering the dark side and buying a SR20DET and rebuilding it in my garage and then when it's complete I'll decide what car to put it in, it's up in the air for a S13 or something so crazy I may just have to try it:lol:
Here are pics of the old and newer:
A4 (she now has a black roof and pillars and black hood...b/c my dumba$$ ex backed into me and ruined the hood:mad:) That should get fixed soon.
