Hi everyone, I am changing out the water pump and doing a few other things to bring the cooling system back to par on my '01 3.0v. As I expected there is a lot of rust on some of the water pump bolts...

Re: I leave for a while and when I come back...

I never *meant* to buy a New beetle. I was looking for an older air-cooled Bug and I couldn't find the right one, and when I stumbled across this one I decided to at least look at it to get an idea...

Re: I leave for a while and when I come back...

Thanks, I have had fun with the transformation. I have to say this little car has been an obscene amount of fun. I pulled on my neighbor's modded G37 by three car lengths on I65 and he couldn't come...

Re: Inspired by Buggman

Dude rock on, that would be great. I do, however, expect there to me massive amounts of cleavage (female, of legal age, human and below the age of 40) and at least one photo showing a topless or...

Re: I need input.

Sounds good to me, although if it were me I would leave a small amount of chrome showing in the middle, like the centercap maybe that way it will show the outer chrome ring off more. Either way I...

Re: Inspired by Buggman

Thanks for all the props guys – it’s definitely a worthy mod. I had considered a how-to, but honestly it’s so simple that it can be summed up in a few sentences. If you can attach two wires together...

Re: key questions

Shop around for local locksmiths that also do autotive locks. I found a few places that do 2 transponder keys & programming for around $70.00. Not a bad deal.

Re: I felt kinda like a traitor

The new Mazdaspeed 3's are sick... love those things. Nice to see Mazda is still a major player - they went through a hard spell in late 80's but they came back nicely.

Re: twin stick FX4

That price is clearly jacked up so the dealer can negotiate and sell it at a slightly less outrageous and make the buyer (sucker) feel like they got a deal. It's a nice truck, but at that price it...

Re: The TyQuesha Chronicals... An ongoing saga of stupid

Re: I love NOS...

I can take some pics tomorrow and post them up. I'm loving them so far. Takes a few days for the 'new rubber' smell to fade but that's minor.
