beaterX project thread

Yo scheides thanks for the ride the other day man. It's been a while since I've just about peed my pants in a car from being a little scared. Twas a nice feeling :)

HAHAHAH You're welcome man! I'm starting to get comfortable in this car, can you tell? And it ain't that fast in a straight line, so that says a lot. Can't wait to get another 100whp on this thing :)

I also saw it at the dyno day, and looked good!! I love the p45 series rims from rota, if I could squeeze p45r's on my car, I would. Was also nice to finally meet you!

The car feels solid, and handles really nice.

Swifty: "Careful Scheides, don't flip the car."
Me: "Yeah, I don't want to be upside down."

Haha ;)

Stop calling this thing a beater! I was expecting a ton worse when I rolled into dyno day and stopped to check the car out. Besides some small scratches that are hardly noticeable, and the rock chips on the rockers, which are normal, its in good shape.

It drives real nice too. :) Me likey!

I never had a ride in the VIII but I bet I'd want a helmet. :D

I am going to have to concur with that ^.

It may have looked rough when you got it...but after some TLC and a good waxing, it isn't really a beater anymore, lol.

Thanks for letting me take it for a spin. Car felt great, looked a lot better than I expected this 'beater' to look. But what was up with your country twang polka crap that was on the radio when Me and Peter got in? We were laughin pretty good when that stuff came on!!

Thanks, I am slowly getting the rough edges worked out. Like I said, I cannot believe how much of a difference a wash and good careful waxing made. Rock chips and scratches, remember this car isn't even two years old!

You're welcome :) I figured out what happened with the radio--Sirius has four sets of presets. I have been just using set #1 with some pop, hip-hop, and techno stations on it. You said you had hit the 'mode' button on the steering wheel, which doesn't control the traction control or anything, it controls the radio! it goes AM-FM1-FM2-Sirius1-Sirius2-Sirius3-Sirius4-AM-FM1-FM2...and so on each time you hit it. So, I'm guessing it was on Sirius1, you hit 'mode' and it flipped to Sirius2, which I can only guess what was on it, idk if I've ever used it!

Ya its slowly turning into a non-beater. There's still some spots that need love, so stay tuned. Thanks for the compliments guys, the biggest thing that makes me happy is that I let like 10 people drive it, they all had their way with it and it is still happy. I feel like the tires/rims/suspension/engine are all solid, time to start modding :)

I def. won't be driving like you do though.

[scheides]

Yup, fo sho. :)
