*sigh* This student business is so overrated!

The only way is eBay! - Try comparing parts prices on eBay against VWoC's prices. It is rediculous.

If I had to pay the dealer to fix what I have done on my car so far, I would have had to sell the car.

Have you done the timing belt yet? My first one was almost $1000 (on my 99 you have to change belt, tensioner, etc. due to a bad tensioner design from the factory)

I'd like my Golf back!

I buy everything off of ebay/the web.

I just had the Waterpump/timing belt done in the Jetta (which is a 1.8T) at a local independent shop, it was about $850 with taxes.

Watch out dave, the water pumps on our vintage of VW blow between 60-120k. Its freakin' annoying.

Yup, already did the water pump!

On my timing belt I was lucky. The tensioner packed it in just north of Toronto. I drove it all the way back to North Bay and it stayed on. The tech took it off without any tools, they couldn't believe it stayed on!

(whoops, hit modify instead of reply! Sorry - JG)

Dave, I'm going to have nightmares about your timing belt!

I have a torn CV, I figure its damaged enough from recce at pines (and alot of driving since), and the winter weather that I might as well go for broke since I likely will have to replace the whole thing. Now, all I really want is oooodles of snow.

Getting back on topic of the rallycross.

I'm assuming that there will be a possibility to come out and register on site, just like with previous events.

Still working out the logistics to make the event, oh and praying for a surprise from mother nature and at least 10cm of the white stuff overnight.

Hope to see you there. The track is quite usable as is, but we would all prefer to see some fresh snow on it. The weather is calling for snowsqualls all afternoon in Bancroft.

Just to let you know, it is pretty cold up here is Bancroft, so you better wrap up warm. The course looks good but it is going to be bumpy. See you all in the morning JD
