I have two questions.... Why would you put the back seat back on? Is there going to be anyone sitting back there? I ask because it wouldn't be too safe for the back passengers due to the bar is right in front of them. I mean, their head is going to bang on that bar Other than that, great project

The cam install was not done by me. Its takes a man to admit when he was wrong and I messed up the install. During the timing belt tension removing procedure my tensioning tool SHEARED off 1.25" from the bottom. I was not comfortable removing my entire pulley system to get to the broken piece. Chad from CBRD Speed Factory bailed me out and completed the cam install.

I highly recommend CBRD to anyone that wants quality work done to their car. I have been to many shops with my VW (which is featured from page 35-40 in the August 2008 issue of HCI and none of them compare to the service, kindness, and professionalism of Chad and his staff at CBRD.

Yea bro... I will not let anyone in the back seat. In fact the seat belts were placed behind the seats as well. The seats reinstalled are simply for the cleaner look. I go to car shows a lot and intend on hitting about 13 shows with Version 2.0 next season. Stay tuned for Version 2.0
