Oh what kind of material do you have for the side indicator lights??

I am here at SeaTac and I found some old light fixture covers (plastic) I broke the best parts off and I will take it with me.

 

[dutchman]

New I will help you with that I did a bunch at the last GTG in Vancouver.......

I'll bring some stuff I had left over too.

 

[Kyanoti]

Put me down for a sticker. I'm aiming to be there at 11am.

I'm beginning to wonder where everyone's going to park.

 

[Heinz57]

If you have any related items you are trying to sell I suggest you bring it.

At this point there will be 20-30 cars with 40-50 people showing. A reminder that this is a family event to have fun and enjoy our cars.

Heinz, maybe we could try that epsilonion on my car again? AND I wouldnt mind the rear fog wired in. What do I need to bring for the rear fog hook up?

Can't wait to get Upsoluted... =)

I'll be there at 10-11ish, running B90. =) Can't stay too late cuz I'm heading up to BC to meet some friends for a long weekend of Vancouver-style partying.

Regarding the fuel for Canadians... the only one of the Arcos that has the good fuel that's anywhere near I-5 is the one in Tacoma. It's actually a bit off the freeway (I think you take SR 16 to get there) but it's not far. The Sea-Tac location listed does NOT have diesel.

Will anybody have a Vag-Com running at the GTG? I'd like to check my injection timing.

I'd also be happy to buy a PiperX panel if they are available. Stickers are cool too. =)

I'd like to do the oil vent PiperX breather and other stuff (shopping).

hey people, just letting you all know that I have stirred up some interest in the GTG at Larson's AutoHaus in Tacoma. Our new location is now open for biz and we are all very excited about the new VW "Marketplace". I just started working there in sales, July 5th was my first day. I am very pleased with my experience so far and encourage all to try and stop by 7633 South Tacoma Way. It is a fine example of the direction VW is going in. We have a lot of new 2001's that have come in over the past few days and expect more soon, lots of 1.8t, TDI and Tiptronic. I hope to be down myself sometime after work on Saturady, as I have to go give away a new Beetle at some Golf tournament during the day. I had hoped to bring a new Jetta GLX w/sport package, but I don't think it's gonna happen for the Rookie (me). Maybe some calls to the dealership Saturday morning would convince them to send me out in a new toy?? (253)474-0651 and ask for Mike or Kevin, they are the general and sales managers. Anyway, I'll see you in any case.
Gute Fahrt! Ryan '00 Golf TDI GLS Indigo

Who's got the FarFromPumpin' stickers...they sound cool.

They don't understand the enthusiasts, I am the lone VW gearhead in the sales area. TDI crazy and spreading the word. Anyway, I'll see you in any case, hopefully with a couple oilburners on parade.

[Heinz57]

Fred is the man for the " Farfrompumping" stickers and hope he will bring some !!!!
Thx1138 just love your enthusiasm - keep the faith and convince your co-workers on the merit of TDI's and look forward to meeting you.

 

[newfrijo]

Will there be a List or a Job Board at the GTG, listing jobs that people hope to get done at the GTG?

For example, I'd like to get some help with installing the CCV breather tube on my NB...I know, a highly technical job

Heinz57, could you please put me down for a TDI sticker?

Thanks.

 

[dutchman]

Heinz 1 more item to do is hard wire the radar detector.....
Now does anybody know this but there are power hook up point under the dash. Right uunder the steering column, I'll show you. No need to go through the firewall.

 

[Al Frazier]

Heinz, Is there going to be a VAG-COM available as I would like to adjust the injection timing on the Jetta. I have been in contact with Tazz, at the BC GTG we checked the timing but didn't get to adjust it then. He says it needs to be advanced. Also the wifes Passat wagon is in need of Upsolution and maybe a Pipercross air filter.

 

[VW Derf]

I know I don't have many stickers left, but amd hunting through boxes, looking for the remaining ones.

 

[MacGuy]

Hey Dutchman, are we going to clean intercooler/EGR/mainfold? Can't wait to hear "no muffler" sound. And yes, anybody with VAG-COM. I would like to check 19586 coeds i had last week (CEL is now gone!) and maybe timing. Se you soon!

GolfGLS Y2K 5speed, UPsolute, piperX (big & SMALL) 0.205's etc.....

 

[BrandonK]

Anyone have a small or medium torque wrench (20nm setting needed) that they can bring? I'll need to borrow it as I'll be installing "PHAT" injectors on Saturday.

 

[BrandonK]

Tom, I have an automatic, (can I still be your friend like Heinz?). And because its auto, it's getting .184's...if someone has a small torque wrench that is!!!! When are you going to add .205's?

[ July 19, 2001: Message edited by: brandonk ]

 

[sanjaun2]

I will bring my vag com. It is sort of flaky though,Sometimes it just quits working. All are welcome to it. That means you to Al.

 

[Dierre's TDI]

Heinz.. I will also bring the Sony Digital Camera on the 21st.

 

[Oil_Burner]

Sure Brandon, we can be PALS!~ I'm going to get the 205's at the first of the month. I want to trade my Piper cone in for a Viper too. I'll be there sat around 0930 or so.
I'll bring the SPIRIT of Dante too!~ I've known him since he was way little.

TB

 

[Heinz57]

Checked with Bill from Midland Automotive - tightening the injectors snug plus a 1/8 - 1/4 turn should be fine. He does not have a torque wrench that goes that low.

TWO DAYS AND COUNTING !!!!

Another event in town is Lakefair - an annual event along the downtown waterfront including music, boats, carnival and vendor booths - the biggest Olympia festival of the year.

[BrandonK]

...and a thick, dark cloud settled over Heinz's once calm suburban neighborhood...

 

[Oil_Burner]

HA, I wont be contributing to the dark cloud! I'M RUNNING LOW SULPHUR diesel! You guys should try it on the way down to Heinz'z place. I'm going there from now on to fill up.


TB

 

[Oil_Burner]

Brandon you dog. What injectors did you get? You'll be the first of the Washing-ton-ions to do that aye! Looking forward to seeing that one.

TB

PS I went down and fueled up at the ARCO in Tacoma. 1.39 per and I could tell the difference right off. Started faster, idles better, runs quieter, seems to have a little more power. I added 3oz of Amsoil cetane boost to her though.

[Dante]

So how many TDIs will be in your neighborhood this weekend Heinz? From the looks of this thread, it's gonna be hard to find parking

Wish I could go

 

[Al Frazier]

Brandonk, I will bring my torque wrenches a ft/lbs and a inch/lbs 20nm = 14.75 ft/lbs.

JT, hey if you sell your piperX I would be interested.

 

[Oil_Burner]

Roger that Al, I'll make you a MONTY HALL kind of deal!

HA!

Yo Dante, want me to pick up anything for you?
