OUCH!
Well went out to the local park today to test my new jetpro pipe. Everything was going well untill disaster struck. Beetle flipped over and ... [:@] Well the pics kinda tell it all. Lucky enough I had a spare plug with me and nothing major got damaged. I think I also stripped out 2 screws from my engine mounts. Looks like it's time to order the alloy ones.

RE: OUCH!
The pipe was awesome. Huge improvement over the FG 3 piece pipe. No damage to the pipe but I broke one of the bolts in half out of the small engine mount. I'm waiting on some tuning brakes and a few other parts from RCNUTS Hobbies. They should be here this week. I'll do a tear down and replace the broken bolt when they get here. Should be back up and running before next weekend.
Aluminum Crusher : I thought about getting the Jetpro thats made for the MB but I was worried about mounting cable brakes with it. Hope it all works out for you.
P.S. What part of Cleveland are you from? I grew up about 1 and a half hours south from there. Small town near Youngstown.

Yeah, I know where Niles is. I'm from Newton Falls. My Uncle lives in Howland and my parents in Leavittsburg. I sure do miss The Hot Dog shop up on Market street. Is it still there? Used to go there after a hard days work for some dogs with chili and cheese.

I know exactly where your talking about. When I was growing up we used to go to the Flats all the time. Is the Agora still around? We used to go to some killer concerts back in the day at that place.
Funny I haven't been up there in about 2 years, but my family that still lives there say that nothing has changed much.
Sorry to get off topic, my parts came in today so I'll be tearing into the MB later tonight or tomorrow after work. It's raining now but supposed to clear up a bit before the weekend.
