The plan Thursday night was to meet up at Brent's shop in Ogden, get the new tires on, alignment, cv boot, install 034 rear tie rods and a few other random things. Nathan has been building a CQ that I'll let him fill in the details on, but he needed to pass emission and inspection and fix a few electrical things. Brent's shop was busy so Nathan and I went for a ride and to get dinner. Pulling into the parking lot of A&W I pulled in too close to a parking curb and smacked it with my bumper. Didn't think anything of it, ripped it up driving back to the shop only to discover when pulling in that when I hit my bumper, it cracked my oil cooler. Oil everywhere. So off came the bumper and bypassed the cooler. Meanwhile, Brent mounted the tires on my gunmetal ABT wheels. 245/40/17 Dunlop Direzza ZII. I put those on while Nathan's car got aligned, then he found out he wasn't getting much oil pressure so a long diagnosis occurred. I got my car aligned and before we realized it, it was after 11:30 and we were beat. So I still have the CV boot and install tie rods, which you have to cut the sway bar mounts off to get to the nut in the subframe. Nathan is pretty discouraged, but hopefully the rides in my car made him motivated enough to keep going.
Today I washed the car for the first time since being painted. I like the gunmetal wheels and these tires are wide!
I'm having Chris CNC some caps to go over the holes with some audi rings. They will be paint matched. Should be awesome!
I may play with my fenders a bit before it gets painted. We shall see.
