The Project Pad

Nice!

Wish I had stopped by to swoop up those CH's laying around...

Nice! Let's see your timing map. I can almost guarantee you're running more timing than I was. Still, that's pretty awesome considering the slipping clutch. Oh, and that dyno graph spools super late. Road logs show 4500-4600rpm tops

Yup, my street pulls show a pretty big improvement in spool too... A proper clutch would certainly load the turbo up better too... So like I said, there plenty of room here, it seems...

New Plate


Some Springs






Some Hats



Housings


I wonder if I should've welded the lower rings a little higher for a snug fit once the gland nut is on...

Nice man. I love this car ive never commented before but been following it for a long time now. I love the combination of the red and bbs ch's.when I can afford it those are the wheels id go for. What spring rates are you running on the coilovers? Looks lime the exact setup im going for.

Thanks a lot man...

The CH's are up for grabs, if you'd like dibbs, PM me...

Top are Eibach 250-550 tender springs
Bottom Left Eibach 8" 475lb
Bottom Right Eibach 7" 350lb



I'll be building my set around these 10way Adjustable Spax Units (#1056-2A) I have laying around in my basement.
I'll see how they cope at the stiffest setting with the 475's up front...
I'll place the softer 350lb springs in the rear for now and adjust my sway bar to the hardest setting and see how it feels.
All I'm looking for is a compliant ride that doesn't bottom out, using stock replacement struts. Not really a track setup.
I can always swap them around and experiment. I might actually need to put the softer shorter 350lb springs up front since they are a bit more "barreled" and should allow for gland nut compatibilty, but I really don't want to bottom out up front...

The Eibach 250-550 tender springs are for sale too if anyone wants them

Looks good!

sweet. Ive never heard of anyone putting stiffer springs in the front on the URS/t44, wouldnt it plow pretty bad? Id love to grab those tender springs and the chs but I just dropped all my spending $ and then some on the 6speed swap and clutch. Gonna have to save some $ or sell some more parts or my S6 to get some $ for more goodies!

Believe it or not most stock setups come this way from the factory. Even the off the shelf H&R are stiffer in the front versus the rear. It might have to do with the added weight up front. I do know of a couple track guys overseas that run stiffer front on their cars too. We tend to forget that sway bars also impact body roll, not just the springs. I'll experiment until it's where I can get a streetable ride with enough reduced roll.

Legal Success



Test fitting some wheel that will soon be installed once the coilover setup is done



Noticed low pads while the wheels were off... going to look for a less dusty pad choice...

Damn nice wheels! They must be really light as I can't even see them

I had my car on the same hunter rack for my alignment too. Post a pic of your printout.

LOL ... I will say they're BBS and are 2 piece... should be lighter than the CH's

Had them just do me a favor so I didn't ask for anything but toe adjustments.... Camber is off on my passanger side, and the rear has the typical issues of lowered UrS cars... hoping someones camber plates can be produced soon as I'm just itching to put in my coilovers since they're done (sans paint)... but would rather do it all in one sweep...

Just need hood measurements

Wow ! Didn't know your URS was this fine (I mean, already back on the road), great !

Love the plate and congrats for the 374whp !

In for a penny in for a pound I see! Upgrades ftw! I like the wheels no one can see...

Looking good, glad to see those rings I made finally get used.

Thanks for the kind words... I've actually been running the car at 443whp as of late... Clutch still hates me...

You'll see the soon enough, hopefully 1 of the first...

They fit like a glove... soo perfect... In retrospect I really didn't mind grind all those welds... I think anyone that can find a spare set of housings should go ahead and give it a go...
You should make a batch and list them as a member product.

Nice, I'm glad they worked so well. Unfortunately, I haven't had much spare time lately, so have been making them to order.

Fixed a bunch of broken picture links...

That moment you pull your FMIC off and anticipate oil... and absolutely nothing comes out... I like that...

Yay!

And this is why... feeling a little like vwnut8392 ... he kills AAN's... I kill Cylinder 5's...

The Tool Set



Seeing these off the car make me want to repaint it all again...

Ouch. Too much anti-lag?

Twice at the drag strip before it melted.. I've laid off it this go around... But I'm actually impressed that it wasn't the turbo that failed first with how much I used launch control I used beforehand... I always thought that'd be the first order of business to let go...
