    The timing chain should last a LONG time. How many miles are on your car? A belt and a chain are different. A belt will last around 80,000 miles give or take. A chain SHOULD last the life of the motor if cared for properly. I'd get it checked out just in case.

    You should come to the meet in Framingham, MA on the 28th.

        Yup. Once the chain snaps, that is the end of the motor's life. :giggle:

                              thanks for the welcoming guys. i been searching around for sedans on the forum and found one that i would really like to imitate im pretty sure it belonged to the user named OBEY his thing is low with big spacers and black brock b1's. i want to do something like that but a bit cleaner, and i also saw e30trash's car with a passat b3 lip looked good, any opinions?
