Awesome show, not audi related but another great episode from them is the Jim Clark one.

I'm in Qc, so lots of salt here in winter.

Sorry for not being clear i meant to say the linkage on the steering column. Usually it's the weird type of "joint" between the steering box and bottom shaft that gets pretty loose.

Only have experience on a 1st gen mostly as plow truck but usually the linkage to the steering box is the culprit. Borgeson makes some nice replacement shafts with ujoints. Other than that watch out for frame cracks and you'll probably end up in the auto tranny if you're hauling or rough with it. I ...

Not sure what's your budget or if you have the wagner/evo rs2 or stock rs2 mani but atpturbo sells a few k26 flange hotsides that will bolt up. There's a few options to pick 28r,30r,and 35r.

future So you're saying get the damper and flywheel zero balanced and then get the crank balanced with the bob weights? That way i can change the damper and flywheel at some point? Will getting a lighter flywheel in the future change any of that?


If the new flywheel/damper is zero'd too then yea ...

You could take a look at wossners they have a kit for the S2 81 up to 83.5mm @ 8:1cr. I have them in my engine, pretty solid pistons. I wouldn't build on an engine that has no crosshatch, you could just deglaze and run the ng but... If you're already buying pistons, might as well just do a fresh ...

Damn! Not in my budget but it would make for a nice mid engine project, adapting a transfer case at the back for front traction could be even cooler.

Bump for good seller, got the parts quickly!

Nice, might need some adjustment for when you get on full boost.

I added a bunch of weight in the back till I bottomed to the bump stops when I tested my new wheels to make sure but I'm on stock suspension.

Nice haul , those wheels give a nice aggressive stance.

If I move them I’d have to verify that they are close but not hitting .


Yea, abit of playdoh and a cellophane cover or something similar less spongy, maybe clay, should do the trick. Cut off excess/sides with a razor and it should tell you your clearances you have to play with.

Ring gear looks ...

I wouldn't move the coil grounds to body, old oem wires sounds like a good idea, shot in the dark but maybe lower ignition dwell a little.

If the sensor is aftermarket it could be giving you issues, I've tried one of those and the spikes were lower than oem on the scope, so pretty useless.

Like ...

I'm curious how does this hold against the block? Pressfit?

I wouldn't drain back to block either, the mix that comes out of there is nasty.

Also in my case, not having something setup to recoup or evacuate the vapors on the catch, you get some "good smells".

Def better, never been crazy about how the aem "poke out".

Hopefully not, cause it sucks, but could be cracked pistons if the crank vent air pulsates at idle.

Hmm, pic of the car or one that shows the hood? I have a side pic here but it doesn't show much of the hood: http://theprojectpad.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2211&p=80113&hilit=+rim#p80113

Yea seen 2bennet, from a quick look seems to only have the sportquattro hood, wouldn't fit the ur. Maybe i saw ...

lol nah, this is the nicer sgi type. The one with droopy rear sides and oem hood pin provisions at wrong place but right looking side vent and 6 rears, just had too much sun over the years.

Shoulda painted, ...well high speed might have contributed.

Not sure if this fits here or in the buy and sell. Looking for who sells the sportquattro type hood that fits the coupe gt/urq in the usa. A couple years back I had found a site that made them but can't seem to find it anymore :/. I think they had an extra uv protection option. Mine has taken a ...

Damn, you have patience! Looking good though. Have you looked at a farecla gmop? Might be a quicker option if you don't mind cleaning the mess from the water and compound afterwards.

Could be subframe alignment too. Also, not sure if this helps but when I swapped to bigger rims and tires I had to back off some toe from front, was way too loose/scary at high speed.

Hmm, what, your goal is building a car for taking spots in traffic? Personally i'd just get an r32 golf for that.

Mind you for instant torque on tap a head that has vvt and a turbo with vgt would do well.

Looking tidy without that orange What are you doing about the after-run cooling? Cooling fan will run wayyy longer without a recirc pump.

Was kinda hard on my battery and rabbit style fuse box.

I'd take the water manifold if you ship to canada.
