I know all about that pistons hit the valves thing, I think I may have broken a T-belt the other day. The funny thing is, I just did a belt change when I bought the car to avoid this. Anyway, doing the belts is a very good idea, at least you know when they were done for sure.

My front fender does the same thing on the right side...Sticks out kinda oddly. Plastic's bent and there's no easy way to secure it in such a way that's forced back into shape!

thank you guys for the welcome. the front valance is tweaked but its just the brace so i will get at that saturday morning, seconde the car just had new clutch ,brakes and hubs done(2300$) last week before the guy decided to sell it. And he said the mechanic said the timing belt was fine but i will be doing more research for it, Third the car only has 74k on it!!!!!!! Good Right? the only thing is that the suspension is little soft/floaty so if you got any ideas on decent suspension uprades give me your ideas..
=oh and what is the correct way to get the sunroof up/off.back on cause tis confusing the hell out of me

yes i know it will be an obssesion i have been build early VW GTI's for years now and i finally upraded

Cool

My '84 has the same front spoiler sag, bracket is bent, need to unbolt and bang it into shape. Tremelune your bracket may be missing.

My car has 146K miles and is not "floaty" at all even with 15" wheels. Have your shocks ever been changed?

Unhappy

Sharky47,

Did you have the belt retensioned after 1-2K miles because the belts stretch? That sucks to see another S have problems, good luck.
