Nothing to see here

I’m thinking this is the same car. If so, the car did run, although briefly. Slummy didn’t last long, around here....

We bought a TDI from Nice Cars in Bellingham

Ok, there, I admitted it. hey forum, didn't see an intro section, so I hope an intro is ok in this section -- sorry if not. I'm sure I'll have questions in the near future, and this looks like a great place for info. As far as the car, it's a TDI conversion wagon with a B4 motor, apparently...

Amazing, great job. What a bunch of hacks they are.

You posted tidbits about this car, on vortex. You definitely mentioned cryogenic treatment on the rotors, although it likely never got done. The location also seemed appropriate.

Driving past Nice Cars now, it seems they've moved on to Ford Explorers. They must have 20 of them in their lot!

That's fine with me...and I'm certain it's ok with everyone else on this forum too.

As long as they stay away from the TDI cars....

Man, Oregon is weird.

The sig gif is a bit much

I could have sworn I read cryoed rotors, on vortex....

[tdidieselbobny]

Nice job! Good to see another one rescued...

 

[lisab4]

NCC, the gift that keeps on giving. Unbelievable!

Could be just what was in the parts bin. I've seen the same before with an early Mk3 with the Vento dash, it was clearly a GL model but it had the 3 position switch, which was typical for that time, but it also had front and rear fog indicators.

[ToddA1]

Very nice progress.... maybe that switch was part of the Nice Cars premium package...?

Lookin' good mang. Any chance for that alignment cider soon? Winkie face

 

[jhax]

Looks good! I chatted with you about that a few months ago. Feel free to message me but do you adjust camber with the wheels on and the car on the ground so the load is accounted for?

 

[powerstrokeless]

This is an amazing story! The B4v fell into the right hands. Sometimes I wish I could tinker with these cars, but I have to bring them in to a reputable mechanic. Even then, you sometimes get shafted.

 

[turbodieseldyke]

It used to censor ***. I'll find out in a second if it still does.

LOL. Still can't abbreviate Whiskey Tango ****trot.

 

[jhax]

You can switch the censorship off in your account settings I think

 

[turbodieseldyke]

You filled the tank before installing, instead of after?

 

[turbodieseldyke]

Install empty, lay old tank in trunk, siphon, install sender.

's all good.

 

[ToddA1]

I probably would have siphoned it directly into the fuel neck, but whatever works for you. Carry on...

This forum is full of anal beads and I'm implementing scorched-earth policy. No more tdiclub for this *******.

I must have missed out on something pretty substantial...lol

PC police pissed me off so I no longer support this forum. It's run by a bunch of old men jerking each other off about how they can be more PC than the other guy.

I'm sure one of the old men I'm referring to will see this and fulfill my request; cancel my account. I want nothing to do with this place. Probably just going to buy a Tesla and burn all my VW's.

 

[turbodieseldyke]

I heard this place started filling up with lots of... uh, Persons Of Merriment after the Dieselcaust, but had no direct experience with it. Sorry to hear they got to you.

 

[Mongler98]

No one is forcing you to act this way. It's all in you to constantly break rules and spout out such an attitude. You can take that bs to fb groups. You can cancel your account by just stopping to come here. But you didn't, and that means you just want us all to know how much attention you want.

 

[Mongler98]

he lost his S and edited every single one of his posts last night, after being banned for what looks like only a few hours, to be extremely vulgar and with the entire purpose of gaining attention and getting "his account removed" who knows why! Seems its all for attention or to "get back at someone" probably me or the person who banned him last night!

Guess I'm not familiar with what that means. I steer clear of the dieselgate stuff, the forum sorta rubs me the wrong way. I was hoping it would be gone by now honestly..

Same here. The board has seen drama of all sorts and people instigating and agitating others to the point they blow up, I suspect that's what happened here. CQM has been given a time out for the time being and we're discussing events to see what transcribed. I'm looking back through posts to see what happened since this seems out of character. For those thinking of modifying their posts relating to the same, we moderators can see edited and even deleted posts, so don't bother. Personally, I dislike drama and apologize if I missed something related to this that caused it to get out of control.

Very possible this all happened within PMs instead of posts.

That said, deleting all one's contributions doesn't affect "the old men who run the place" one little bit, but it does rob the other members of useful information they won't be able to find anywhere else. We're all here to help each other.

I would agree with that, and now we've been deprived of the new avatar too.
