These clamps are freaking awesome. Uber high quality components, the flanges have a nice machined lip that mates to the pipe for welding. And I can't believe how much movement they allow...crazy.

Nice work! Love your car!

I also use the Vanjen clamps. I have 4 clamps on my car and 2 already broke after around 2500miles and 1 year. As you can see they get corroded and brake. Maybe you can put some grease on it to prevent it from corroding.

Thanks - I have not had any issues, however this car does not really see any corrosion. I'll keep an eye on it.

thx OB. Here is another one from the same shoot

#ENS-4-1104G
and
#ENS-4-1104R

Which one is the correct one to use?

It's a well known fact

white is the fastest

I guess We'll know as soon as they design a white mount

You have one clean S4! (was reading your project)

I'm looking forward to having my Hank manifolds Swaintech coated with White Lightning due in large part (but not wholly) to Da Fridge and its exploits.

After what I experienced with "ceramic coating" on my bag-o-snakes (flaking) I'm really eager to find a quality product.

Mine is holding up perfectly so far (2 years I think?). It's slightly less white than it was originally (sort of grayish-white), but still looks nice and clean.

Ed what is going on with the car? Just driving it lots? Where are you in terms of a tune and those axles?

Yep - still daily driving it until there is salt on the roads. Got an axle swapped in from the urs6 - no big deal there. I also had a funky electrical problem that was causing an intermittent no-start, ended up being a bad battery - caused some very weird behavior. Also the + battery cable was getting very hot due to corrosion at the end of the cable. Cut it back about 18" and spliced in new cable, stays ice cold now. It's amazing how much resistance a little corrosion causes.





Chris lent me his GoPro for //sfest, I'll take some fall driving footage and post up a vid before I send it back since I didn't make it to sfest (thx chris )

Other than that I'm gonna try to find some time to finish these camber plates, get them installed and do an alignment.

I also have some sexy Apikol billet sway bar brackets to install.

I was wondering when I might see some footage from this... better make the best of it!

Maybe I can find some time to try to finish my strut mounts too... Ooooh then we'd be in competition!

Took some video yesterday but the wind noise is terrible... bought a small external mic with a long cable that I'll put down by the exhaust and try again

Yeah, with the gopro, external is the only way to go.
