What wheels you getting?

Raderwerks Royal 3 piece. It's got gold centers w/ a polished lip. It sits pretty flush with the fender. We'll see. It all depends on the shipping.

There was another thread I made a little while back with pictures of the people on here, I forget what the name was...maybe one of you mods could sticky it? (pretty much talking to Brandon since John Garcia disappeared from the Audi scene)

Your wish has been granted.

**kurupt_hawaiian** · 02-09-2012 10:14 PM

^yay!

**HIstateS8** · 02-09-2012 11:35 PM

Yeah, John is a busy man these days. He's got his hands full with his GreenHouse seminar workshop, plus his non-stop company.

Saw your car on the forjworks website! I'm considering air suspension, I'm hoping you will be at the gtg tomorrow so I can meet you and ask you some questions about your setup!

**tenfour** · 02-10-2012 04:28 PM

Sure no prob. Hopefully nothing comes up so I can make it.

**Jesse S.** · 02-10-2012 05:46 PM

I'll take over his mod powers :)

**tenfour** · 02-10-2012 07:38 PM

Well the rule is Anthony has to ask a member if they want to be a moderator and then he takes a vote with the other moderators. But since John isn't ever here anymore you can try and ask Anthony. He might make an exception. If he asks for my opinion I'll vouch for you. ;)

Is this like election 2012...Campaign OOOO 2012!

**tenfour** · 02-13-2012 01:57 AM

Changed my gf's engine air filter tonight and I was like wtf?! The air filter is literally behind the engine cover. When you remove the engine cover and turn it over, its right there. First time I ever seen that. It's a MKV Rabbit with the 2.5L motor.

**BoostBeeyatch** · 02-13-2012 06:19 PM

Audi and VW engineering at it's finest! My stock air filter was on my valve cover too!

**Audimotive** · 02-14-2012 03:13 AM

Changing my oil soon, just figured I would ask for you guys' recommendations on what brand I should use!

**Jesse S.** · 02-14-2012 02:38 PM

I use Mobil1.

**Bob This** · 02-15-2012 12:03 AM

Eneos ftmfw

**Audimotive** · 02-15-2012 07:00 AM

I went with AMSOIL European Car Formula-Full Synthetic. A company I've always trusted.

**tenfour** · 02-17-2012 05:41 PM

So the wheel deal didn't go through with the seller. Too much blemishes on the wheel that would need refinishing. Ended up getting the VMR v705s.

**BoostBeeyatch** · 02-18-2012 07:27 AM

VMRs....works for me! :)

So what's you new set gonna be Ricky? I know you were on the market for some new ones.

**Audimotive** · 02-21-2012 05:46 AM

Every time I come to the forum now it takes me to the mobile version... I've tried clickin the "Full Site" button in the top right hand corner, but as soon as I click the forums again, it just opens the mobile verison.. It's pretty annoying, anyone else have this problem?

**kurupt_hawaiian** · 02-21-2012 09:18 AM

I use the tapatalk app.

**toshi0990** · 02-21-2012 09:55 AM

I just downloaded that app. Didn't make it out yesterday came back from vegas and passed out when I got home

**tenfour** · 02-21-2012 10:09 AM

^^thats what I need next. A vacation. Hopefully sometime in the next few months.

**Audimotive** · 02-22-2012 04:34 AM

Well, yesterday I noticed a slight misfire in my car, and today the check engine light came on... The symptoms are not constant but this is what I've got; sometimes at idle it will kind of skip, and the car will slightly shake, I'm going to listen for it from outside the car today when I'm off work. Also, when I accelerate harder than usual it skips a little bit, and almost seems to hesitate. I guess I'll start by checking the sparkplugs and coilpacks.. Anything else you guys would suggest? Sorry my description is kind of vague, but it's difficult to describe.

**tenfour** · 02-22-2012 04:17 PM

That's the first place to start, is to check spark plugs and coil packs. I have a vag com cable, so I can scan it for you. It's easier to probably work off fault codes. I've been busy, but maybe we can work out a time and place.

That would be awesome, let me know when you're free and I'll work around your schedule.

**Thomas@TAI-VW** · 02-23-2012 01:11 PM

What kind of engine do you have? If itis a 2.0T I am dealing with some injector issues on some of those cars.

**Audimotive** · 02-23-2012 01:20 PM

4.2L V8.. I'm really hoping that it's not something to do with the chain/chain tensioner, or anything to do with timing for that matter. The fuel gauge wasn't working when I bought the car, but I didn't think anything of it. Figured it was just a lose connection in the cluster and that I would get to it eventually. But could a bad fuel pump cause that? And the current problem I'm having?

**BoostBeeyatch** · 02-25-2012 04:29 AM

Wheels...MMmMmMmM. I don't know yet...I may have an idea...but secret secret :-P

Haha cool. Your car is so sick already, any shoes would look dope on it. Can't wait to see it.

**Swift1** · 02-25-2012 01:39 PM

Anyone know where to get the real carbon fiber side door pillars for a B5 A4, not the kind where you can just stick it on, the actuall whole peice? Also looking for the carbon fiber side mirrors (not the slip on one's) tried them and didn't match or fit well.

**Bob This** · 02-25-2012 09:12 PM

I bought my interior trim set from Matt at oCarbon they look awesome and fit great, as for side mirrors no idea

probably best to hit up the b5 section. most likely get a faster responses and reviews.
