Probably should work on fixing that semi truck 1-2 gear change.

 

You aren't wrong

In stock form, this is the hardest manual I've driven for downshifting smoothly. Luckily there's short shift kits available but it'll require more savings.

Motor mounts will improve shift quality 10 fold

 

wait wait... you got OEM wheels???? Did we win?

 

He did...and we did.
But he already admitted that and they aren't THE same ones so technically he's still his own man.

 

Yes sir! I picked up some OEM wheels from the B6 S4 .. lucky for me, they're 18s so the tires swap right over.

So yes, you guys won




For realz doh, AZ was right all along. Avus wheels DO belong on this car.

I can't wait until they're mounted up, time slipped through my fingers but I'll make sure to have them done since my ladyfriend is out of town this weekend.

 

Cant wait!

 

For you refinishing I would vote a light gunmetal color would look good. Something kind of like the gunmetal color on the C5 Z06 wheels.

 

I still think a proper powdercoat should be in order for those wheels...they're so nice, and nothing compares to a legit finish...

 

I personally would have gone with some 8.5 A Specs for the car...

Hey Tyler...got your request. I don't have the power to let you edit anything. So, I just removed your post and so, you can re-post now with the changes you want.

Hope that helps!

 

Yummy always watching out for us plebs


what a saint!

 

He really is!

 

Resident AZ got my back

 

Small update:

I haven't had a ton of time in the last few weeks to work on the ETH FO, let alone spend time in the garage. However, I did manage to squeeze in a few hours on Sunday afternoon to get my SSAC Twin 1 2.5" exhaust installed







Small clip:

Sorry for all the fan noise, but like most exhaust videos, it really doesn't do it justice. The exhaust is deep & aggressive since it only has 1 muffler total.

My favorite part? I get exhaust burbles as the car deceleration

 

Suddenly a decrease in MPG's occurs. Bcuz brap.

 

damn.. your garage opener is only 1/3 HP..

Time to supercharge that sunnuvabeach

 

I don't think forcing more air into his garage opener will make it close any faster. He needs a new opener all together.

 

You're killing the joke dad

 

 

Yeah, Logic is an unshaven hairy smelly beaver to the raging hard on that is comedy.

 

ETH FO plates are ready for pickup.

 

cannot wait!

 

I mean, it only took 3 f'ing months

What's the hold up ... California has enough prisoners amirite?

 

but they have the prisoners making vegan organic tofu though, not plates.

 

don't knock it till you've tried it!

 

This ones for you Tacobello.

 

 

boss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

mmmmhmmmmmm she got a purdy butt

 

that paint looks to be in great shape for 15 years old!

 

Thanks Gents!

Encountered a pretty large coolant leak yesterday after parking the car yesterday. Upon further inspection, the overflow tank is cracked so a new reservoir on the way. I'm suspecting it's something between the engine / firewall since I can't actually see where the leak is coming from.

Hope to have it fixed this week.

 

Man, the plate and car look fantastic!!

 

I know you'll get it sorted out quickly...you're smart and handy and have the right disposition.

 

Could the leak be from the reservoir itself?

Seems to be a common problem for VW/Audis of that era.

 

Thanks bud! I'm in it for the long haul, there's always going to be bumps in the road.



Funny you mention that, the expansion tank does have a crack in the bottom and it's heavily discolored. Replacement is on the way, but to truly understand where a coolant leak is coming from is by putting the system under some pressure.

Ordered a pressure tester, should be here this week

 

driving it home uncertain what the fluid was and if you'd make it wasn't enough of a pressure test?

 

For realz. I could have choked a tapeworm on the way home. I was almost certain it wasn't coolant, which lead me to believe it was power steering, brakes, or clutch. All shitty scenarios in the event of failure

Once the cooling system is put under 10-15 PSI, this nifty little tool should help me identify where the leak is coming from:
