A heroin habit is probably easier to kick, wounld'nt be surprised if it was cheaper too.....

HAHAHHAHHA

pretty freakin funny!!!

Believe me, the sickness is just starting.... It gets worse.....

F'in great!!!

Is it me, or I am obsessed with this site and anything regarding an '02?

I have done my share of modding cars, but i think this is taking it to another level!

That's my rant...HAPPY 2009...

Which looks better? The Compomotives or the BBS RS?

the compomotives are crap, BBS all the way

What size and offest are these compomotives? They look great with those lips! Mine are only 1.5". With an offset of 33.

I've gotta say I like those Compomotives, more unusual than BBS'. Paint looks good too by the way. Hope the cars coming along well.

Thanks Grover! The bumper worked out well. I am missing some hardware but its good for now. Let's hook up soon. I would love to pick your brain about your motor swap.

I still like your Compomotives with the black highlights. They kind of look like ATS wheels (or even the VW MK1 GTI wheels).

Put the BBS wheels back on the 16V.

They do look like the ATS classics. Majority wins and I respect everyone's opinion here! Thanks!

good looking

Im not sure if those are "streetable"?.....strength wise. I recall reading on their site such,

Try Pack racing or vto.com( superlites)

same style..nice..... affordable. Cheaper than panasport and mini's////

...looking now!

Here is the link to the ad...these are one of my favorite wheels!

What do you guys think? Will it look weird on a non-flared 02? It has 3.5" backspace. The front are 13x6.5 with a 2" backspace.

#1 the BBS

#2 compmotive in plain aluminum

#3 compmotive in black

nice PHOTOCHOPPIN! Great attention to detail, including the roundel emblems on the wheel cap!

i might have to do that...knock out the black and paint/polish the lips...

...ok. putting the COMPO back on....

There is only one. And why it got loose, beats me! One day I was driving it, and oarked it and the coolant started dripping out of it.

Its a sort-of-a-plug, on the engine block, and the coolant is coming out of it? Chilton does not tell me what it is!!!

So I finally had a time to work on the car today. Drove it around and the BBS drive so nice! I might have to keep it on and sell the COMPOMOTIVES! Darn decisions!

Thanks everyone for all of the comments. I do like the Compomotives better! It looks more aggressive and period correct. I love the offset of the silver Compomotives. I bet it rubs like crazy if it was mounted. I was thinking of selling them. I found some 15" Panasport C8 that I think would look great as well. The BBS are stock with a high offset of 35. I think I will just put them back on the 16v.

What do you need done?

I need to get my Nardi wheel on and rig it to the Luisi hub..J/K...

I think I blew a head gasket. Opened up the oil cap and it looks "milky".

hello. yes, i did do a search...

but does anyone have or know of a good shop in the SF/Penninsula area? Thanks in advance!

Did you decide to keep the Compomotives? Any pics of the new paint and wheels?

i put it on my 16v, and it is rubbing. i pulled it off...and i think i am selling it. hit me up if you are still interested...

Looks great! I love the look of the BBS RS too... get that water pump fixed and keep us updated!

hey mike--ITS THE HOSE!! yes!!!

thanks!!!

i switched it to my 16v...and i thought it was an offset of 30, but i was wrong. it is a 24...it rubbed hard when i was driving the 02 home. anyway, here are pics, and i will let you know if i do sell it. it does look pretty good on the 16v...

but the BBS RS looks good too on the 02, DILEMMAS!

finally here! got it home, and my coolant was spilling everywhere!

water pumps can take a DUMP suddenly like that.

Maybe while at the body shop - the coolent leaked

out and no-one said anything - you drive it - AIR POCKET!-

ANY HEAT ? - fill with water(don't waste antifreeze yet)

and pressure test the cooling system for leaks.

leaked out of water pump, coolent/heater hoses, heater core,

heater valve, radiator ???

THANKS! will check all of the above and report the diagnosis.
