February 22, 2011: New Stuff! permalink →
Picked up some used OEM dark tail-lights and traded my holy grille for a holeless one. Mine didn't have very many pits or anything wrong except for all the holes drilled in it, after getting the new one home noticed it had a lot of pits and a scratch BUT unless you're me, or you look REALLY up close, you won't be able to tell. Pretty excited, it looks like a whole new car! Can't wait to take some new pics. The .:R I traded grilles with is #2262, so wherever that one goes it will have my grille :)
Lil' Mama has 22,444 miles on her today, starting to get up there but not too bad. Had the mechatronic recall done because we were noticing a burning clutch smell, unfortunately we can still smell it but it's not as bad and only happens in sport or manual. There are also some new squeeks and things so we're taking her back soon and hopefully all will be well.
Near Future Plans:
- Might be getting some Bilstein PSS10 Coilovers from the same .:R that I got the grille and tail-lights from, so that will be exciting if it happens.
- Getting the monster mats in the next few days
- Hopefully able to order some 19" VMR v709's soon!
Events we'll be going to in the .:R :
- Bug-In 36, May 1
- Wuste 2011 in Vegas on June 3
- VW Classic, June 11
- Big SoCal Euro, July 30
