Don't ask bagged74, ask his wife. She will give you the real story. From what I heard the VW spanked him good. His story was he went up in smoke, but I think he just got.....

His story might have been believeable were it not for the ever-so-slight roll of his significant-others eyes while he told his tale . . ......

Well, that kind of thing is pretty common in my other world (hi-po VWs).

It's pretty common nowadays for a street driven VW to run 11's and I know of one that runs in the nines. Of course his other aircooled 4 cylinder VW runs in the 6's at over 220mph!

bagged74 · 10-11-2007, 10:15 PM

it was an R32 GTi( all wheel drive for those who dont know), so traction was the deciding factor.

bagged74 · 11-06-2007, 11:04 PM

Finally had a little time to work on the blazer. It started tearing the front suspension out at around 2:30. and had the Dropmember and Strongarms installed by about 8:00

A vision of beauty! Can't wait to see it together.

PBFAB.COM · 11-07-2007, 10:51 PM

I never get tired of seeing these things on the ground! Looks amazing... and can't wait to see it with the "real wheels"!

I may just have to get myself a blazer...

gringoloco · 11-08-2007, 12:26 AM

Oh yeah!

This is major motivation for me- your Blazer looks flippin' badass!

**lolife99** · 11-08-2007, 08:47 AM

Hey Nathan,... How about doing my blazer. Then you can pretend it's yours.

Frizzle Fry · 11-08-2007, 12:07 PM

Disgusting!

Rokcrln · 11-08-2007, 06:54 PM

those are 20x9.5s with 295/40s on the rear.

They go on my "other blazer"

crzngmychvy · 11-08-2007, 11:39 PM

Wow! That looks great!

**N2TRUX** · 11-09-2007, 12:10 AM

Oh sure, the forum gets "real" pics. All I get is crappy cell phone pics. Does this mean you don't love me any more?

Ooops, did I say that out loud....

Geez.

He doesn't even send you one with tires. I don't think he does love you anymore.

Ahhhh a thing of beauty! For some reason I seem to like the half-assembled mock-up pics the best... definitely my favorite part.

bagged74 · 11-09-2007, 08:24 PM

the front lays, the back is about 2" off the ground

bagged74 · 11-09-2007, 09:17 PM

I do use all of my notch, but mines only 6.5" not the full 8. It could definitely be done with a little crafty fabrication
