yo i live in fort wayne just wondering if anybody on the forums lived here

 

Hi, I'm in the Fort. I moved down from Michigan, have lived in an apt since, and am looking for a house. How long have you been in town?

 

i lived in flordia but have lived in the fort for about 11 years

 

Got a stupid ticket today on Washington heading east by the park. It was dumb, I knew they had been gunning that road for the past week or so, but I wasn't paying attention... 52 in a 35. And how dumb is it to get a 17 over in a 35 zone. First of all, people ALWAYS drive 50-60 through there, second - if I was going to get a ticket, I would MUCH rather get it going 85 on a highway or something....
Not happy....

 

yea i'm supposed to go and pick up my car from the shop (timing belt broke) so i pretty much have a new engine all new exaust values, 1 intake valve, new timing belt, pully, tensior, and water pump. and all new gaskets. Maybe the car will feel faster who knows(that would be sweet)

 

That probably depends on what you were driving in the mean time - if it was an oldsmobile, then I'm sure it will feel faster..

Why did you replace all gaskets? How old/how many miles on your car?

 

might as well replace them since you have to remove them anyway 87k miles 2001

 

do u have any mods done? is yours the 1.8 T manual or auto?

 

I have the 5-speed, sport and winter package quattro. It's a 2001 with 48K on it. I found it for sale through autotrader from a woman in columbus. I love it. I haven't done any mods to it, but I need to give is a little TLC this summer. I want to and I don't; I like the car the way it is - I don't need any more power... (never thought you'd hear that before...) I just don't want to mess things up. Perhaps a few years down the road I'll do some playing with an exhaust, chip, and intake...we'll see. I guess for right now I'm content.

 

i live in fort wayne too. used to live in california, then moved to florida, and somehow ended up here.
