The good news is, it has a built engine with an NVG tranny swap (much stronger than the stock Isuzu) and was running around 450hp until about 6 months ago when the previous owner parted the turbo setup out. It needs and intake manifold, intake, exhaust manifold and downpipe, but thankfully I have a whole parts car sitting around.

Plan is to get it back under boost as soon as possible. I'll be running a pretty small turbo since this car will be built mainly for AutoX, so I want as much low end power as possible. Hopefully I'll be able to spool at about 2000rpm and get close to 300whp. ]]> Member Rides Gallery Transporter7220 http://www.rocdubs.com/showthread.php?t=2685 http://www.rocdubs.com/showthread.php?t=2682&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 20:41:09 GMT Anyone doing anything memorial day?

My car was totaled before I bought it, but evidently when they put a new passenger belt buckle in, they put the wires where they would be pinched.

Well that leaves me with this... I'm assuming this is the source of my Airbag light.


I have reconnected all the wires but the problem is, theres 2 green wires and I have no idea which one is which. theres no markings on either one. Since soldering all wires together with the corresponding colors, the light hasnt gone off and the seat occupancy light does not change. Anyone have any experience with this? shouldn't the occupancy switch work once its connected correctly?


I also had it scanned by rich a while ago, heres the results if they help at all.

I've seen a few of the cars in the banner around the area already, as well as several other modded VW's & Audis, so I thought I'd pop in and say hello and see what's going on around here. I also did a few pulls with a very nice BMP MkV on the way to Farmington from Canandaigua the other morning... couldn't hear what he hollered at me over the wind noise though.

I was pretty heavily involved in the Sarasota/Tampa VW scene for a couple years before growing tired of... yea... Don't know how many meet I'll be attending but would love to get involved if anyone is setting up track days or autocross events. Especially with Watkins Glen so close...

My car has certainly seen better days, the job I started a month ago in Farmington is my first full time work after almost 3 years of scraping by doing whatever I could to stay afloat - so my GTI will finally be getting the cosmetic TLC she needs this summer. Mildly OEM+ modded on sport springs, GIAC chip, Evo MS intake & y-pipe delete. Her name is Sheila and was literally one of the first MkVs off the boat in Jan 2006. I test drove her almost totally wrapped in shipping plastic and bought her the same day.

Any recommendations for local shops that aren't terribly expensive? Some of the TLC work the car needs is beyond my comfort zone. ]]> Introduce Yourself Guysmiley http://www.rocdubs.com/showthread.php?t=2659
