I should add that a good 6.5" will reproduce any base except the low note from Crystal Method Vegas High Roller. They even do 50 cent Candy Shop... hah.

My 6.5's are a bit weak on the bass-midbass. Just need a small sub for some fill and I'll be happy.

50W rms pair of 6x9 will *almost* replace a subwoofer, but you need to do some serious cutting. I know what you mean tho, cuz I had a 300w 12" free air sub for several years. The trunk was the sealed box, and I've never felt better base in anything but a competition setup, which is saying something. Once you've had that, you can never go back.

The B4 trunk is perfect for a 12" free air. I cut the parcel shelf and mounted a 3/4" ply doubler. Next I might try a pair of 10" in stereo mode. It would literally shake buildings.

I have seen this a few times now. Adjustable gears are worth their weight for the fact that they have new keyways

Freaking lucky!!

where does one find new keyways?

Re: AMD's 91 200q Project

you can't. You have to replace the entire gear.

I am very glad that it didn't happen while driving or better yet at 7000k+, lol. I think the gear may have been broken by the previous owner. I saw some kind of mystery glue on the back of it near the key, not sure. Either way, I've got a new (used) one on it's way to me and it should be here Thursday. I was pissed that I wan't going to be tuning today though! I did finish up installing the cams and new timing chain:

A small view of my fathers new shop (HUGE):

The job wasn't bad at all. I think the disty is off a tooth though and what a pain that thing is to get at. I'll finish that up when the gear comes.

what shop? all i saw was a sweet 200... lol
and yeah pain is right. sjm suggests taking the intake off first. i didnt when i did my cap and rotor and it sucked. i think taking the intake off is well worth the work to save the frustration..

Haha, thanks man!

I did it a while back when the first disty gear took a crap and found a trick to get it done easier. Of course I replaced it with a metal gear one and completely forgot my trick.

Guys, what's the best way to go about torquing the cam gear? How do I hold it in place? Torque spec?

I just don't want to break my new gear when it comes tomorrow, lol.

You need a cam pulley counter holder. Don't use an impact gun that's how the woodruffs shear. Torque is 50 ft lb

Is that an Audi specific tool? I'll have to improvise and make something. I never use impact, especially on something like this.
