Official Columbus Thread!

Well we kinda had one going, but it wasn't Official if you know what I mean. Looks like the rain will be most of this whole week. So I think Thursday it is going to be clear if some people want to meet up, but I wouldn't beat on it just yet. I'm not sure what day I'm doing the wedding registry for yet another store, but I did tell the woman I would go to that. So anytime Thursday or Friday during the day I can meet up for whatever. I do need to get this key problem worked out with a vag com if someone wants to bring that.

[Bigswoll61]

I'm off for the the next 7 days starting on Thursday. Hopefully there's a nice day in there I can clean my car.

[OhioA41.8T]

From what I saw this morning it is going to rain Wensday, Friday, Saturday, and maybe snow/rain mix Sunday... After that the iPhone doesn't go passed that. So Thursday would be good if you don't have to drive anywhere those other days.

Have hockey on Thursday night, so I'll be out and about. Car goes in Friday for scheduled maint. I left a message for the service guy to see if I could bum around in an 09 A4 for a couple hours, he didn't call back. LOL

Not so much, really not sure what Im doing other than scanning for codes. Can always give it a shot tho.

[Bigswoll61]

Byers... it's about 5 minutes from my house.

[OhioA41.8T]

Good deal. Don't forget if you tell them that you are on VWvortex you get a parts discount if you have to buy parts. ;) I forget where you have to sign up...

[OhioA41.8T]

Well I'm sure we can find out what I need to do. Otherwise the dealer is going to love me Thursday.

Have you been on OPlates.com trying different things. It took me a while to find something I want. I'm thinking of ordering a Euro plate from ebay with IV RINGS on it too. I don't think that I would put it on the car.

I have... Im not sure what I am going to go with... I have some thoughts though.... I think im gonna wait because Im pretty sure I renewed my plates for 2 years so that puts me to the summer of 2010... it would be a waste of money to switch now

[IVRINGS]

what's up guys. I just bought 034 motor, snub and transmission mounts. I will be upgrading to a GTRS eliminator which is coming on thursday. My plan is to take the front end off and do everything at once, including the turbo. anybody wanna help me do it? I live in the apartment complex across from the walmart on Bethel, it's not really the best place to do engine work though

I would love to help, but time is very short for me, and I'm still learning the A4.

Well the first time you see mine it is going to make you want to waste them. If you get the new plate don't you get a new sticker for the plate? I just hate that the newer plates are just flat and not a pressed look.

[GoldenRuler]

Dude, I was driving through Columbus in my Red '07 A4 a few months back and saw your IVRINGS plate. Awesome! By the way, mine has enemy plates as I am a Buckeye grad living up north.

Glad you liked it! Do you remember where we where? I hope the car was clean and looking nice for you. Maybe next time you can honk or get me to look over. I always wonder if other drivers know my plate when they see it. I know one one local that has tried to get as close to it as they can. I'm going to try to get another set of plates before they switch them over to the new ones the gov's wife made. I still don't get why would we let her make those.

[OhioA41.8T]

Does anyone know someone with a Black 2.0T Quattro that was looking for tires yesterday? Had a custom plate that must only mean something to them. Let me know...

[IVRINGS]

OldYella I found your twin today! It was over by Mike's place at a Taco Bell, and I saw it with those stock wheels and the front tag really low on the front end. So I think that is the car me and Mike keep thinking is you. Also I saw a light Blue A4 with the S4 chrome grill lowered on TSW wheels at Wal-Mart off 23 North of 750. Also guys I switched up my profile name too to match everything since I'm so new it wouldn't matter.

let me know how i can help, i live on bethel near walmart also.

[FrancoTheTanko]

I'm probably not going to do it for another couple weekends but I've been working on my car ever since I got it 2 years ago so I know it pretty well. I just figured I could make some friends outside of work since i've only been here for 2 and a half months. I could get guys from work to help me but they are all either American Muscle freaks or Honda nerds and wouldn't appreciate the work as much as a fellow Audiziner. I work at Honda R&D in Marysville JFYI

[IVRINGS]

Just let me know then. I'm normally off on Thursday and Friday, but I will have people in town from the 13-18th that I will busy with. So if you do it before or after then let me know.

[FrancoTheTanko]

Well I have to wait for my injectors to come in which probably won't be until next week, then I'm going home for Easter, then I need to buy a jack. I don't want a cheap one, Im thinking about an aluminum one from harbor freight or craftsman .

[FrancoTheTanko]

anybody know of any AWD dynos around Columbus? I want to get before and after results.

Sup Raj. Auto Assets has an AWD dyno? their website says they have a Dynojet 248X Chassis Dyno which is a 2 wheel dyno. I'm planning on getting the GIAC software upgrade there. That'd be cool if you helped too, I'll buy a case of bud light or something for the build, if we run out, walmart's right there lol

I want to hear about the chip after you have it... I want one bad but am still skeptical...

Are you worried about the warranty or what? You B7 guys can get about 290 ftlb of sweet low-down torque with an APR or REVO chip. It makes your car feel so much faster.

i believe auto assests have a awd dyno, this was based off my research when i was looking to get my car dyno'ed before stage 3 but never got around to it.

ok, I need to call them about the upgrade anyway. I forgot, I also want to take some more metal out of the bumper support so it will fit better. Right now, it is hitting my FMIC on the passenger side. would a dremel be strong enough to cut through the aluminum? I'll need to pick one up

[IVRINGS]

I got my wheels back today that where stolen. It is just to bad that the car is not 5x100. Might put them on the girls GLI if I keep them. They need some TLC from when I had them still perect.

[IVRINGS]

I forgot to ask if you guys would like to go watch F&F4 on Friday night around 9:30ish at Rave Friday night? I have a few car guys going that night to see it. It is just going to be entertain fun I'm sure with everything. I don't want to be the last ones to get crapy seats so I will be there earily to try to save what I can just above mid level in the middle. ;) Let me know guys.

can't make it.... but on the chip note, i am worried about the warranty... I get the car serviced at MAG and I feel like they are dicks there and won't be cool with it... I'm personally a huge fan of Byer's, but MAG a couple minutes away... I also worry about engine life... i mean I hear about people blowing DVs which isn't hard to replace but i also hear about blowing turbos.. which doesn't sound appealing

if you chip it, you'll be definetely driving the car harder, its just too addicting.

Holy shit, good to hear man! Thats been forever ago too, crazy.

[IVRINGS]

^ I know right... I would put it up on CR that I got them back, but I don't want to start another thread that I will have to hear Rich Kid BS about not having nice cars to put them on. I guess when your first car is a BMW you always will be to good for he rest of us.

[IVRINGS]

^Just remember just cause you are chipped doesn't mean you have to drive like it. If you are driving the car more as a daily car you want to last just don't floor it to much and you should be fine. I know I'm going to be looking into chipping towards the end of the summer after I get the wedding stuff paid for.

[FrancoTheTanko]

I'm probably gonna be busy friday night also.

I just got the turbo kit today, it has the wrong inlet adapter so I have to buy a different one. Ugh, I've been buying so much shit for this, it better be worth it!

[IVRINGS]

Well I can't wait to see if it is before I do it. I'm sure it is going to be worth it bro. Just take your time and don't have @ss anything while you do it. Cause if you do I'm sure we are going to be redoing it later.
