Now that I see the wood gone, I realize it did look a bit dated by comparison.
This looks splendid.
I think as the car gets older and older, the wood trim to me gets cooler ... although, the aluminum trim / blue alcantara look was my vision for the last 5 years.
At least someone gets my jokes.
Also, the guy that designed where the starter sits on a B8.5 Audi
would be a sauerkraut. I guess that would have been a safer joke to make.
As a rule, Nazi jokes never go over too well. I knew better.
Ever since picking up the A7, almost 90% of my commuting is dedicated to it and I only drive the S4 maybe 2 - 3 times a month. Last time it sat for 2 weeks, I was almost scared to drive the S4 because it's about 11 years older and isn't really tight as a drum anymore. It rattles when it's cold out, suspension knocks a bit up front ... also, I've removed so much refinement from it over the years by adding poly mounts from front to rear.
It's not really a race car, but it's riding on that fine line .
After starting it / beating on it for an entire day, I'm happy to say that it's actually made me like driving it even more .
Steering is firm, ride is firmer, exhaust is orgasmic on up & downshifts, and the slight delay to build boost followed by the punch of 25 psi @ 4RPM gives it some theatre.
Gotta say, I'm pretty happy with my line up right now.
It's funny, I drove the Focus this morning for the first time in a while and was thinking the same thing about it starting to show its age. Will follow your recommendation of driving violently for a long time. That should help
The recycle bin is blocking that sexy Magnum in the background
Car looks great & glad you're still enjoying it.
Thanks man.
Gotta say though, as far as projects are concerned ... you have the coolest one on this forum to date.
So badass - excited for more updates!
