The Project Pad

Got the Nittos put on the Team Dynamic wheels. Come to find out they are only 7.5" wide and not the 8" advertised. So the 235/40 track tire is a little wide. 8)

Meh....Just run 'em. At least you won't curb them

I'll run them if you are that unhappy with them.

I have the same tires.

Nice. Glad that car went to a good home. Looks pretty dope!

Went to the Lab this morning to pull my oil pan and install a baffled one with the s4 windage trey. Also welded in a return drain from my catch can. Those oil pans sure are fun when 3 of the allen bolts get stripped and the subframe has to be dropped. Took about 4 hours. Thanks Hank!

Also bought a new serial to usb adaptor and got the VEMS to communicate with my laptop. Dyno'd soon!

:woowoo:

So the A/C has gone out. I haven't determined if it is the compressor or a busted line, but it sure is making an ugly screetching, whining sound. :(

Guess I'll just have to put a built short block in while I'm fixing the A/C. :wink:

just think of it as a HP increase.

dibs?

Made it out to Wide Open Wednesday again. Once again there was a large turnout, but only one other Audi besides myself. No one else made it out this time from the 5 cylinder gang. In the 3 hours I only manage 4 laps, but they ran the west track. They managed to keep the track extremely slow with cones everywhere, but still, good fun!

This was my second lap and the first that I filmed. A couple of corners they put cones is horrible places...and you can hear me complain. Missed some shifts, etc. etc.

My third lap was much better. Afterwards 3 or 4 people came up and commented on how amazing my car sounds. With it straight piped out the side, it does sound menacing. I should of had him email me the videos he took outside of the car at the start.

Then the fourth and final lap was going awesome! Pushed the car harder and had the best lines the track setup would allow. Better shifts and then the guy in front of me spun completely off the track and I caught up to him, causing me to have to slow down. I was bummed, especially since it was the last time out.

Those cones sucked!! Atleast on East they put the cones somewhat on the line!! Shame on Miller!! Still looks fun though!@!!

Yeah, they did suck. I really had it going that last lap, had figured out the cones somewhat, but oh well. There was a 1.8t A4 with the Garret 2871 kit and no other Audis. I represented by myself. What happened to everyone??
