The small version. Sorry, bored today.

If anyone is curious this replica is made by Kyosho. This model usually retails around $130, Kyosho is a higher end diecast model manufacturer. Lots of detail from decals in the engine bay to carpet in the cabin and trunk.

Hows life going Cory, haven't heard from you in a while.

I saw you are keeping the VR6. Work still keeping you slammed?

Work has not been too bad. I'm on modified duty right now, blew the left knee out again. Tendonitis and a possible torn muniscus. Still waiting for the mri appointment.

As far as the Jetta goes, still waiting on some parts. It probably won't be boosted as planned, just the engine work. Since the car issues started in April I've been focusing a lot on the house, improvements here and there. Here are some photos of the timing chains/guides, ...etc.

Messed up guide:

Loose bolt on the upper guide:

Loose bolt rubbing on the timing cover:

Freshly turned flywheel and new clutch:

I'll keep you all informed as more progress is made.

Some young intern chick had to rub my leg every time I went in for a visit.
