air bag light just came on..... didnt get it scanned but i here that there is a pinched wire issue with the set belt switch so i will have to investigate

next im getting multiple cylander missfire prolly due to coils i just changed the plugs to see it that would be the issue but its not and i hope its not the ignition control mod cause thats like 500 bucks retail i work at carquest so i get a 10% above cost discount which still makes it like 250

umm im getting the common p0420 bank 2 oxygen code now i dunno i have to change my timeing belt soon


i guess i just want to not deal with it anymore you know lol

I am not insulting the capabilities of the VW at all, I just find anything Mk4 + has more issues. Electrical, Older 1.8's sludging up, and such. Fantastic cars though, much better built then a J.

(Ask Mars about running 12's in his 2nd gen 3400 swapped Cavy . 0 issues, and about 4000 $ invested including the price of the car . Performance does not get much cheaper then that !

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

This coming from some scum bag piece of sh1t that is complaining about his VWs Electrical Problems.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Oh man ... Face it. Your car is a pile of sh1t. It is slow, unreliable, and plagued with quality issues.

But what am I saying ... you know that. You know your VW is no better than a piece of firewood. That is why youre looking at another car ... a G5.

Now this says something about the poster.

It tells us youre an idiot.

It tells us youre an idiot because youre jumping from one sh1t box to the other.

Sell your VWood, dont buy a G5, thank me when youre car isnt in the shop constantly for brake lights.

and you my friend probably drive one of those economy @!#$ boxes your self

so your sitting on this forum telling vws are crap when most j-bodys themself fall into a cadgory below crap sorry

i have had 0 issues from my car from 0 to 100k miles and i have a gt28 turbo running a solid 30 psi with no problems till now and i have had an 11 second vw for 70k miles making runs almost every week with no problems at all then only thing i change constantly is spark plugs

you find me a cavy running 30 psi for 70k miles or lets say any car with 30 psi for 70k with no issues find me one and i will quietly bow out and call you a god

i would but a vw again no question just dont want to cause i want something new i want a car thats slow out of the box i want to be the underdog....i want to be the guy who has a car thats normally slow and make it run 13s thats what i want

btw i bought my vw brand new for 18000 and i got 10000 for a trade in i only lost 8grand in 5 years not bad find me a cavi or sunfire that does that

JinxedZ STFU seriously dude you must have small peepee syndrome or something to go out on a spaz attack like that over something so minute

anyways i myself have a pretty fast car( 98 T/A) but like you am looking for something different... you should have just stated in the topic what you expressed with your last post in that you want a new car that doesnt have electrical problems and thats possibly an under dog ....

with that said you should get a yaris and turbo the crap out of it... A nice turbo set up and a few bolt ons im sure you could get that 1.5L engine to 200Whp easily. im sure a good driver could hit mid 13's with that much power in one as they only weigh around 2200lbs. ZPI before they closed had a kit that made 180whp on a stock engine running i think 6 or 7 psi thats not to bad if you ask me. i also read at the yarisworld forum that the hatches are very very good AutoX cars.
besides the 4dr yaris S isnt actually all that bad looking of a car and a the hatch looks really nice with a body kit only thing thats keeping me away from one is the center mounted guages and the lack of a tach



...o and did i mention they get 40mpg

I say get whatever floats your boat. If everyone who were looking for a car were to listen to at least half the people that post on the Other Cars sub forums, we would all be driving vehicles powered by an LS-1.

Dare to be different. G5 isn't a bad choice at all.
