Long time no update. Updated TO DO list.

I have been busy being busy. So here is a new revised To Do list for the GTI.
  • Timing belt and all that comes along with doing that
  • Replace subframe and control arms do to squeaking
  • Swap out dogbone mount to stock OEM mount
  • Tackle the power steering leak from the hoses coming off the pump
  • Tackle coolant leak from housing to block
  • Tackle fuel pump level to get a accurate fuel level reading

I am hoping to run the GTI at the Tail Of The Dragon by spring of next year. So below is my TOD To Do list.

  • New rotors (slotted)
  • New brake pads
  • New tires (either match the fronts or four new ones)
  • New stock OEM axles both sides (never can be too sure)
  • Add rear swaybar
  • Add front lower strut bar
  • Add (maybe) new shock/spring combo (no more than 1.5 inch drop)
  • New lug nuts with locking lug nuts

The last To Do list is to make the car pretty.

  • Strip and paint rims
  • Redo door card fabric
  • Strip and texture paint mirrors
  • Strip and paint valve cover
  • Tint ?! (Still on the fence on doing this and spending the money)

That is all i got for now. Its definitely going to be interesting. Now I only have to find the time to do it all.
