2L oil consumption

Your right about the mk4s burning oil becuase of the upside down piston rings but they dont all burn oil and your 99.5 wont because it was made correctly the oil burners came out in like 2000/2001
please correct me if im wrong

pics of installed "drug rug" interior :laugh:

I plan on doing my door cards and headliner as well, door cards cuz they're falling apart and headliner just to match. Probably go with something grayish to keep it simple.

kinda does look like a drug rug, ill have pics up of it in a few hours. BUT

here are my headlights. wasnt that hard of a process. didnt even need to heat them up to pull them apart. painting went fine, i tried to clean the headlights, using 200 then 600 grit, ****ed them up. so i went and baught the Mothers kit for it, highly recomend the kit for the $24. it also comes with 4 peices of sandpaper to do it right. they call this "severe" kit. the only thing that im iffy about is if i have them sealed good enough, as in watertight. i used black rubber sealent, but im not sure if it sealed completely. ill find out when it rains. anyways

i still havent took off the tacks. idk if i ever will, i dont look at them, and its better than having the heat make the fabric sag already

being as this is the first time ive been up this early and had a reason to drive my car, i noticed that the throttle response and accel. is WAY better when its not 90+ degrees here. yet... and my transmission shifts alot smoother, not sure why. but my axle problem felt a littel worse.


im a little tired from not sleeping, but gonna try to get around to repaint my wheels. Im gonna change it up to match the silver pinstripe, and do black faces w/ silver sides, and only on the spoke parts, lip and faces will be black
