Cool ride, and you seem less noobish than most...Welcome!
Thanks, I do what I can :o
This is my 3rd dsm, I am looking at getting a 4th tonight :rolleyes:
1) 90 laser NT converted to turbo
2) 90 laser turbo, parts car
3) This car
4) Looking at a 91 tsi awd 5spd for a winter/backup car
Nice! I like the color
Thanks, like I said, it isn't a bad color but there are some defects in it that bug me.
Thanks for the compliments guys, I still have a few issues I need to sort out with it. Two new ones I found today, one was that we had the first flurries of the season up here today and as I was hanging the 1-2 shift midway through a powerslide the car let out a nasty backfire that scared me half to death. It took me a bit to figure it out but it turns out the stock tach wasn't keeping up with the engine and when I shifted I thought it was at around 6800rpms but when i looked at the max reading on the safc it read 8180 and since I have the no lift to shift feature at anything more than 6500rpms and I was under full boost it let a few of the backfires from the no lift to shift out through the wg dump tube which sounded mean but was very scary when I didnt know what it was :p
The other problem is simple but annoying, my pos jvc cd player skips whenever i'm on the throttle hard, apparantly it doesn't like strong g-forces. Anyone ever have a problem like that? I've never heard of anyone else having that problem and i'm trying to figure out if its just my cheap cd player or if most of them do it. Like I said its nothin serious but it is annoying to be trying to have fun out on the streets after a long day at work if your music keeps cutting out :mad:
