That may be worse than a 4th gen to work on (since it's not a VW, I think you may be able to avoid finding out). |

I got motor mounts for the green car (OE, sorry, nothing fancy for an F stocker!), and a spare tranny mount. And brake pads. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Why couldn't more women receive motor/tranny mounts, brake pads and be happy?!? Of course most women or men can't drive like Karen. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif)

Plus thats not really the dash there above the motor. Its the housing for the cabin air filter so I think it may come off if I need it to. I thought about an Audi too, but reliability isn't their strong suit and they don't offer anything in RWD. Its all AWD (unnessecary in FL) or FWD <barf>. |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Actually, about 317K.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) My parents also remarked on how happy I was when I pulled the motor mounts out of the box. A couple of years before that, they couldn't understand why I was ecstatic about a reluctor wheel (the ABS speed ring for the rear diff). Or front hubs. Or brake rotors..... the list goes on....

I originally said 330,000 and then I edited my post (figuring you couldn't be that far up there yet). Even so....
Karen, do you have a sister??? I'm sure you could find her a date around here (if she's looking). My wife might get a little upset about that, so I can only ask for others (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) . I can hear Karen now: "Oh wow, a brand new reluctor, hubs and new rotors....you shouldn't have". With my wife it would be: "Oh wow, a brand new reluctor, hubs and new rotors....you better not have". :leaving: |

Girlfriend bought me Ground control coil overs.
Mom and dad bought me a 35 mm bar. And I bought myself all the parts to do the C5 brake swap. |

I bought myself a Craftsman 14 drawer rolling tool chest with ball bearing drawer slides. I received several gigt certificates from family members. My old one was just too small. Now I can actually put all my tools away.
It's great having a wife that like cars. I bought her a Magnaflow cat-back for our aniversary and she was very happy. |

The biggest car gift for me was time off work to install the UE TA without being rushed. The only significant parts Santa brought were new brake caliper brackets.
Got a couple of the biggies off my "offseason stuff to do" list. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
