what's the deal with the 452's? are those the wider ones? i have regular RA's on mine, i bent one though, shitty roads in cali.....for the speakers in the door, did you use the stock housings on the door cards? i wanna replace mine, but they don't seem like they're great housings, i had a sweet set up in my mk3 gti, and i want to use the same speakers, but i was thinking of making a custom housing for them.

i'd spray it with some penetrating oil before you start to let it kinda marinate in there. then theres that wiggle back and forth war for 30 mins whilst picking rust chips from your eyes lol! honestly, i'd just wait and do it all at once. that way if the slip joint is a bitch, you can just saw it off, and drop the exhaust manifold with the end still attached. and as far as i know, you shouldn't have to take the head off to do it. if you do though, migh as well change your head gasket...

when in doubt, torch them off!!

I've got a few pictures of you from Havok Jam. I've just got to download Photoshop to crop and resize them properly before I upload them. Congrats on the win.
