After looking at the first page I was like "where are my pictures?" then "Oh there they are" haha

The grill improves the look a lot man, I like it.

its an 8v
the oil pan is a lot shorter than stock but thats just from being beat up on more and more as i progressively lowered it

the tie rods are flipped, but there is no notch yet, my axles come very close to the frame but dont ever touch, thats all as far a going low mods

Your mk2 is awesome dude, It makes me regret getting rid of my little 8v golf!

That BMW 2002 on your driveway.. love it. love the mk2 though. roof rack looks awesome

so today i did something stupid... i raised my car to a drivable height
i brought the front up 2 whole inches



i did have some issues doing so though
anyways i had to jack the car up by the back to get the wheel off of the front, because the front was just way too low
I got the drivers front wheel off and had the front right blocked, anyways being on some stupid slant the car decided to lift the other back wheel and lay the front on the ground (thankfully frame hit before rotor, and it only fell about an inch to hit frame) either way somewhere in this it jumped to the side, unblocking the front right and rolling foreword and falling off the jack.

not too big of a deal, i just had to get a 2nd jack to free it
it did however give me the front lip clearance that i have been wanting for so long (zero)



also got some terrible pictures of my flatsided drain plug, and beat to shit oil pan
all that oil residue is from when i ripped out my previous drain plug



i also ordered this so that my car will stop mystery draining the battery

and i also got some other goodies from jegs

hopefully i will be doing more work on this thing if the weather stops being so bipolar

[tricha02]

SNOW!


also, its here!

the switch is very solid, it has a great feel to it, as if you were actually doing something by switching it on
the plan is to make a switch panel that has this, and alternator switch and my temp gauge, as well as room for other switches if needed

also tomorrow im picking up something special for this hunk of junk

[scweet14]

Looks good man!

[tricha02]

picked up a "new" head today, the guy said that he had it on his circle track car, it is "cammed and ported" but he doesn't even know how aggressive the cam is, so i will just have to run it to see.
anyways i plan on taking it all apart, cleaning it, checking the valves and lifters out and then running it with a raceland or ebay header and my stock intake, so this will be a project after the whole switch panel/ cut off thing

these are the pics he sent me, i will take some as i clean/ when i get out of class, but it looks cleaner than this in person either way, also everything turns fine and all valves look straight from the little that i saw

[kevinc]

Nice dude.

[tricha02]

well bringing this back from the dead, big things are happening now, and ill update soon on that, but for now my friend made a video of my car so you can see how shitty it really is, don't mind the fender flare falling off, i need to re rivet it thats all
