Cali the Jetta

So someone stole my miata rims. Frustrating, but ok. They weren’t my favorite rims, although they were super lightweight and would have made for great track rims, but whatever, no use crying over spilt milk.

I DID get some throttle bodies though:

Up for auction off of a 2001 gsxr 600 is  throttle body assembly with injectors. . IN excellent shape.  .          Email any ?? and thanks for looking.

Wasn’t an english major I bet. But it was $50 + shipping.

Should be a nice little addition to cali.

So I was driving out to the burbs on saturday afternoon to go visit Rebecca’s family… rebecca was already out there… and the motor mount on the jetta broke. I think it broke a bit before that, but it was just sagging (it kept pulling the wires tight) and it finally gave out… I got the her towed to our garage, and I will need to start working on it sooner rather than later. I am excited. I have big plans…. I would eventually like individual throttle bodies….

The car is in the garage, nice and safe. The plan is to start up the new motor…

The ad was on craiglist… And the owner took these pics. He asked $400, I offered $325. He agreed. It needs some work… the headliner is sagging, the oil light comes on and buzzes. It need a bumper. It leaks a little water. The headlight sprayer doesn’t work. But overall, it runs fine. The car was given to the wife, and was a california car, hence they named her Cali. The car lived with them in California, then moved to NY with them in like 97 or 98, and now Chicago. Because of the time in California, there is little rust.

Here a couple pics from the seller….
