2000 New Beetle

[Richard55]

A lot has changed since I wrote this signature, but for some reason I can not edit it. lol Big things are 1. Audi TT 312mm front brakes setup, 2. FXR-R HID headlights retro fit, any one with stock halogen headlights should really look into this retro, contact me as I have designed the adapter plate to make this real easy. 3. Front end has been completely rebuilt with Audi TT bushings and Bilstein TC struts and shocks installed along with all the other stuff. 4. Installed a shim kit in the rear end and now the alignment is perfect, no more worn tires in 25,000 miles. 5. I have a set of VR6 axles ready to install as I have gone thru at least 6-8 sets of the china junk axles sets the auto parts stores sell. Hope this does the trick as I don't want to spend the big bucks for a set of Raxles. Thats enough for now. lol Oh yeah I run B100 that I make in my garage and love it 80-90 cents a gallon is hard to take.. This thing is scary fast and I love it.

I still running the 17/22 with over 100k on it. I am going to the GTG in Asheville this weekend and have Jeff check the RC6 to make sure all is still in sink. Love the mods as it make this car a blast to drive and a safe car to get onto the interstate. lol The HID adapter is nice and a single piece of sheet aluminum, takes time to fabricate or I can supply you with one. The lights are out of this world. Or you can send me a set of stock headlights and I can do the mod and return them to you.

Sorry guys and gals, I have been off this forum for several months as I have taken on and completed an other completely different project. As some of you know I owned a night club that we held two "Jeff" GTGs at. Well I decided to close the night club as this present economic situation in place is doing nothing but killing peoples ability to make a living and expand and hire more and new employees and completely gut the building and turned it into a Short Course R/C clay dirt race track. Yes 160 yard of Georgia red clay now resides inside the old club and we are having a blast. But that is now open and running so I can come back to my old love. my NB.

Answers to the above questions:
1. Intercooler- to date it is the stock piece of crap
2. Garrett sorry about the HID PMs, but I have decided it is just too much of a job to produce these adaptors. I would have to charge at least 200 for a set and I know no one wants to pay that price for them. The increase in light is well worth it, but it is very time consuming and my time is worth what I would have to charge. sorry
3. Lurker Mike, haven't heard from him in over a year. I too hope he is ok.
4. Still running B100 for about 11 months out of the year. lol I gelled a filter when the temp got down to about 28 degrees. Stopped running it for about a month until temps went backup and stayed there.
5. I have 326K on the engine now and have been running the RC6 for about 210k of that and it is still running like a scalded chicken. love it

so looking at you sig, are you running the stock bottom end? Do you plan on upgrading the intercooler? What kind of IAT do you see?
