[A SNEAKY PANDA]

here are a few taken of me from waterfest 16 in new jersey






















a few new vinyls i added at waterfest, 50+ more on the way, gonna sticker out that side of the window, sticker out my engine cover and my SRI heatsheild


slight rubbing issue on the way down....by slight i mean HUGE...rubber is melted to my tire and my fenders

[stuka]

How was H20? I always wanted to do that but never did when I have the Vdubs. Cant wait til you tint that bad larry! Hopefully you can get those stickers off your back window heater grid without wreckin it.

[A SNEAKY PANDA]

im leaving the stickers, not tinting it and waterfest was insane im gonna try to go to h20 next month

[A SNEAKY PANDA]

ok so, small update for you guys. i know most of you wont get the vinyl thing...its a VW thing, anyway one to pictures

i had a sludge problem so i started to tear the car down a rebuild with new parts





built a custom catch can to fix the broke PCV lines


color matched the bumper markers


shaved the engine cover and painted it white and stickered it





started to sticker out the rear window


did my mirrors too




lowered it more in the back


put in the new style gauges


got a new euro plate


got me a nifty little gopro


i also put on clear fender markers, painted the lower engine cover and the battery cover white, and im going to start rewrapping the interior this weekend

i think thats it?

[Tyler]

that cover looks great i love the white. and that euro plate is cool but watch out some cops really take offense if you dont hav a front and back plate.

[A SNEAKY PANDA]

i have other white parts to put on but i gotta fix some stuff first

[Dylan]

yeah, the engine cover is sick

[A SNEAKY PANDA]

thanks, im gonna post the other covers tomorrow

[A SNEAKY PANDA]

these are all 3 covers, i have to do my washer fluid next, and power steering. and the fuse box

[A SNEAKY PANDA]

dropped in 4 new spark plugs bkr7e's and put some LED strips in the trunk so i can see at night. because VW had the bright idea of using one little POS light in a corner...so i upgraded the lighting situation with 2 white LED strips. $20 for the LEDs at autozone and $9.40 for the plugs and a plug wrench at advance auto...not a bad deal i say

old 6e's on the right and new 7e's on the left


and the non ricey tucked away LED strips wired into the stock light so they pop on when the trunk opens


i also finished up some more of the engine covers, and tore out and redesigned the stock PCV system, now unnecessary parts have been removed and capped off and a more simple custom catch can i made was installed. as well as some polished trunk struts





oh just got this too, my new plate

[Tyler]

what does the plate mean not somthing?

[Corey]

not low yet.

[A SNEAKY PANDA]

+1 to corey!

new update!!

i got the rest of my interior LEDs in today as well as my plate LEDs. i also picked up a pair of OEM R/C/R/C tails from the 04 models, a pair of clear bumper markers, and a new south performance intake manifold power gasket, which is good for another 5% power. keeps the air temps between 20-30 degrees colder and the temp of the manifold its self stay down 30-50 degrees over stock it conducts less than 1/500 of the heat the steel gasket does. also picked up a euro plate frame to cover up the holes in my front rub strip til i can get a euro front rub next week. also got a custom built blue LED for my boost gauge to match it more closely to my gauge custer rather than it being white.


they are white they just look a little blue in the picture







tails (oem)




bumper markers




power gasket


dyno shet for power gasket
