Josh's 1986 VW GTI build

If it helps mine pic was takin with my iPhone lol! So my seat is official fffuuuukkkkeeedddd! I am gonna order a new seat soon.

My pic was taken with the Canon XS and as you can see my hands were dirty so no way did i take the pic, but i asked James Gollen to take the pic

Either way new spark plugs FTW! Dani txt me about your brakes man let's get your ride going bro!

So my drivers seat broke in half so FML! I will hopefully have a new one soon... In other news I got my HIDs put in and they should help me see when I'm driving fast at night.

Dude my HIDs were a major problem on HRD. Due to the sharp cutoff I couldn't see jack shit when I was approaching a hill! But then on the way back I realized I was retarded and I put on my brights.

Lol! I don't have projectors so there is no cut off. Just BRIGHTNESS everywhere!

You will be a menace on the road.

Strangely enough they isn't as much glare as there was with the e30

did you aim them? so it doesnt reach the drivers eyes? also safety for yourself before others lol

The bulk o light is on the street. But there is some light that goes high. Havent been flashed lol

Pointing a bright light in someone's eye when they're traveling the opposite direction as you a few feet away doesn't seem very safe for yourself

what kind of bulbs does your car use? H4

Yes. Converted from the aero setup.

so how is the distance with the H4 high beam? ive never seen a H4 HID high beam in person, so i wouldnt know how they work compared to a H7 high beam bulb

Well the H4 is dual filiment. I have only low beams with my HID kit. You can get a HI/LOW kit but its more $$$. It uses an electro magnet to pivot the bulb up.

also Josh off topic, but how do you like WCC shop? im contemplating on whether or not i want to take the class for recreational purposes

For rec purposes yes they are good. U will learn alot of useful things. For being a mechanic they don't teach you very much. They don't like the use of air tools which is how money is made. Just keep a open mind.

really no air tools? even for wheels? no air chizzel, no whiz wheel? omg i dont know if i would survive

I don't take kindly to air tools being used on my wheels.

lol well they arent supposed to be used for tuner lugs, or any type of locking nut, it could crack the socket, it could be used to take off a locking lug, but never to install a locking lug, that should be accomplished with a torque wrench

Without my air ratchet I'd have gone mental working on cars for a living.

U can use them on wheels but other than that it's kinda disliked alittle. Phils lugs are kinda fragile so a long bar and a plastic coated socket should be used to break them loose. Then spin off by hand. Tuner lugs can use a impact on and off. That's how they were made.

are the tuner sockets sidewall thick enough to withstand the torque?

The splinedrives I have def aren't. The Muteki socket is strong though.
