I owe two big Thank You's. First to Billsbug for sending me free of charge the Center dash section around the radio. I very much appreciate your kindness and Pomelo looks World's better for it.

Second but not least. Holaumpalumpa for lending me an OEM head unit and CD changer. Thank You sooooo much. Everything works and it looks beautiful.

Hear is what you do, take the engine start button out and get a clear lens with the words, SELF DESTRUCT ACTIVATED or POLICE NOTIFIED and put a blinking light behing it that will flash any time the bugs security system is activated or just have it flash all the time. It might scare off the thugs next time.

I liked the way the old rims looked but these are much lighter and stronger... so.. well... guess I piced strength over beauty.

I'd make that starter button into a "Easy" or "Panic" button.

Hey, I just got my 19's (finally

) and I have a question. I'm noticing that I don't seem to have the grip I had with my last tires, they almost seems 'slippery'. Is it the bigger wheels and lower profile tires or is it just the new tires that need a few miles on 'em to get 'stickier'?

I am noticing the exact opposite. They are much grippier in corners. They don't hook up as well as a 15" drag radial would but they hook up much harder than my 18s. Ultimate grip is also improved allthough when they do finally let loose it isnt nearly as progressive as on the stock 16s which moaned, howled and let you really ride the edge. However I find that a small price to pay for the much improved... everything else

Ok, so my eyes fly open at 3am. I noticed at low speeds that the turn-in response is EXACTLY what I experience at the auto-x, ultra- crisp. So why the heck is that? Staring at ceiling, staring at ceiling, staring at ceiling. LIGHT BULB!

Walked out to the vert this morning, opened the door, grabbed the tire pressure gauge, walked to back wheel, removed stem cap, stuck gauge on tire stem, 48 pounds

! Go to front tire, 45 pounds!

Took it back to 32 front, 30 rear and now we're talkin' grip.

Sorry to see that your stereo was stolen I know what it feels to find your bug with a broken window, but at the end you can see all the support of the fellows here at the org, and as always your beetle its my favorite

Fowvay · #**238** (**permalink**) 11-12-2006, 05:35 AM

I know I know big deal Tom got a boost gauge... right?

Fowvay · #**239** (**permalink**) 11-12-2006, 05:39 AM

It's not the boost gauge itself that is special, clever, unique or Never been done before. It's just like real estate. It's Location Location Location
