Are you coming to Impex, RC? Haven't seen you in a while!

Yup! The wheels are Seiken NKB N510

R: 17 x 9 ET 20/22.5
The back has two different sized spacers in order to make them sit evenly on each side.

Tires
F: 215/45 (Switching to 205/45)
R: 225/45 (Switching to 215/45)

 

[imperium]

It is a definite now! Count me in! (plus one since the roomie now has a TDI as well)

Lawson, anyone meeting up with ya for some infamous Thai beforehand?

 

[Braga_Dub]

Has anyone spoken to Jules? She had a TDI Beetle, then got a MK4 Jetta Wagon TDI. I have not seen/talked to her in years!

 

[Leo819]

I picked up some BBS RCs, I just got them Powdercoated. I am trying to decide what tire size to get. stock 225 of go to 215. I putting coil overs on soon, I am gonna run 8mm up front and 16 in the rear.

On a side note, I getting rid of the CC. Gonna keep my TDI, and the wife will hopefully be driving a JSW.

Do you plan on tucking the tires into the fenders? If so (and if I remember the RC specs) 205s would probably work out better, but even then not much of a stretch. Otherwise might as well just do the stock size.

Yup, there's a thread about it.

 

[oEo]

Sounds like another good time at Impex! I'm hoping I can make it again this year.

I am tucking, not flush. I will read up more before I buy.

Tony/OEO,

Hope to see you there again this year. Driving the Beetle, again. I finally installed/wired my OEM HID headlights. Put in a Stage 3 DC clutch last Fall. Going to do quite a few things when I do the timing belt in about 5,000 miles or so.

Eric

 

[BRBarian]

I'll be there with 3 or 4 cars, as usual... Wouldn't miss it...

 

[OilBurnerDE]

Is there an official "For Sale at Impex" thread or are we even aloud to sell used parts and what not.

I ask because I have 1 maybe 2 A3/B4 intake manifolds that I would like to get rid of. As well as few Cd/changers 1 b5 and 1 b4 and maybe even a head unit if I can find the code. If it is permitted, a thread would help those who maybe looking for and/or selling items have a place to post instead of the main event thread.

Thoughts?

 

[POWERSTROKE]

I may be coming this year after a several year hiatus. I was wondering if my wife and dog are welcome..............

 

[Growler]

please bring your wife. Mine will be there as well.

 

[Leo819]

depending on my wife's work schedule, she should be there also.

 

[joshman]

I'm should make it up. Had fun when i was there last time. Does impex have the machine for pop testing injectors or is any one bringing one? Thinking about putting in a set of pp520 either there or before hand. Not sure of the necessity of pop testing, but if its available why not?

 

[Leo819]

Jeff/rocketchip or Ollie/tdiracing should be able to help you

 

[brucebanes]

You dont want to stay in Dulles. Thats 3 hours away. Stay at the Red Roof Inn in Timonium its $60 a night with a coupon.

The Dulles Hyatt (2009 Fest location) is $71/night for Friday and Saturday nights... can't beat that price if you're trying to stay in the DC area. Book now, pay now. http://dulles.hyatt.com

Yes, we'll be doing Thai Thai again on Friday night.

And where might one find that coupon? Those bandits tried to hold me up for $100/night last year.

 

[brucebanes]

I called and its Preakness week. The coupon is only for weekdays.

This place is okay and far enough away that you wont have to worry about Preakness fans.

Ill see if I can find a coupon for them. I stayed there for $49.- couple summers when a chicken truck went in to the Bay and I couldn't get home.

Dulles is an hour and a half to two hours away, not three (unless you're in traffic, which there will be none of at 8am on a Saturday).

 

[brucebanes]

If your going to stay that far away then spend the night in Culpepper. Dulles is a dump and too expensive in my opinion.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

He's already booked the room and paid the bill... and the price he got is outstanding.

 

[Growler]

Here Kitteh kitteh Kitteh...OM NOM NOM NOM.



Hey is the Breakfast still happening before impex? Havent heard much about it and was wondering.

 

[Hamsterdiesel]

I called and its Preakness week...

Now there's a good reason to keep this event on the weekend before Mother's Day...

Hope you guys have a good time - first one we're missing in (well for Peter - ever and for me 7 years)

We want tee shirts if there are new ones this year!

 

[fase2000TDI]

I'm going to have to drop out of this one guys. My work called me off of layoff to offer me a fulltime position 1st shift, which I had to refuse as it interferes with school schedule. Now I can't collect and they won't let me go part time. 1.5 years of third shift, and now they do this.

C'est la vie

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Work was putting the screws to me, too... but I held my ground and have off for the whole weekend of Impex. I guess someone else will just have to run the huge Microsoft SharePoint event here at work.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

We'll miss you all! It's not quite Impex without tomo, Peter, and Julie.
