Well if you are talking to Shady then just be glad you said it over the internet and not in person.

This forum is never dead and A lot of NOOBS do not ask questions over and over. Actually as far as SARX is concerned our recent NOOBS have been pretty cool and asked somewhat reasonable questions. Then again, they have taken advice wisely.

There is no cool club, all of us get along and not all of us are cool (I am). But it's whatever man, it's just an internet forum.

Can't stand cocky mf'ers like you.

you were a NOOB at some point as well right?
Dude calm down no one has gotten over 200 whp in a 4 port.

Sidenote: I'm not cocky, I'm just awesome.

The fact is you are new here, welcome to the 8 club! Learn to take a joke and someone poking fun at you, or possibly get butt hurt when someone makes a joke...

Either way you do need to accept the fact that you started some threads which made people facepalm.

here are the pics, tried the 6mm allen on the knuckle post but to no avail...it doesnt say anyhting about this in the service manual (other than removing the ball joint from the control arm (that already happened )

I really would prefer not to have to take the hub assembly off the car.....am I missing some sort of SST


Nevermind, guess I will have to get the press for it....damnit I miss working on VW's...they were soooooo much easier

will do, I will hopefully get my control arm today and knock that puppy out then shoot you a PM. I decided to hold off on the rotor/pads/lines until I get my forgestars so that "saves" me on jack stand time.

I went to install my AP end links on the hotchkis FSB and they don't fit properly. when you tighten the nut they are "touching" the bar and not free to pivot.... I just went to their website and sure as hell are missing the spacer son of a bitch.
