Looks like it's regressing ;)

[coolgraymemo]

Huh? How?

The "winter" picture was after driving through the Sierra four hours.

See you got around to your introduction
Car's looking good, wheels should look great on it too

[revolution337]

you probably have one of the coolest names I've heard in a while.

[PhillyOne]

So what year did you purchase it? 99.5's are the best in my opinion i don't mind the stock sport wheels I have (the first picture except I have some curb rash on one wheel). Maybe post an interior pic with the current setup pic?

It was early '11 or late '10. Yea, I liked my swings a lot but they got boring.
The interior is Ecru/black and is in decent shape (no driver's side rip). I need to clean it since there are a lot of indigo denim stains on the driver's seat.

[revolution337]

real name.

[coolgraymemo]

It's a really long story. My dad's dad's dad.

[SS92]

I finally get your name now, as other posters mentioned. I feel you on the Tuition hikes, they suck. I want to really get my car going in a different direction and make it my own, but its so tough with school, rent, car payment, and everything else. Clean car.

Is it short for Guillermo?

Yea, but it's actually Memo.

The "coolgray" part of my screen name is from sneakers - I was a big sneaker collector when I first bought my car. If I would have quit buying so many damn shoes, I would have money for my car.

Just cause the wheels got smaller and she's so so dirty. :) Not a bad thing... just thought it was funny. Looking good!

[mRestrepo]

Lol guess i should eventually get around to my intro smh. Nice B5 Memo, I myself have a 99.5 fwd though. :( love it but eventually want to get rid of it for something Quattro. These nyc winters are getting worse.

Thanks! I had thought of a FWD B5 too, but I drive up through the snow once in a while to visit my brother.



Doing errands today. Didn't really have time to get "good" pictures.

[NeedingAnAudi]

looks really good! I would suggest just to kill the wheel gap. Nothing drastic though.

If anything I'll bring it down to ~ 24.25 and 24.5. It is currently not leveled.

ahh thought so I got the cool grey 11's along with a shitload of retro j's/nikes in my closet. Since buying the A4 my shoe addiction swayed to the audi world.

haha, same here. Are you on any of the sneaker forums? The "coolgray" was from the first retro that came out (in the early '00's).


So, I think I need to get my fender's rolled. While turning into driveways, I hear a weird noise from my passengers side (when turning left). Can someone reassure me that I need to have them rolled?

Oh yea, and I picked up two SSR Comp spares.

Kind of a grind/screech/rub noise? Time to roll.

[coolgraymemo]

It almost sounded like metal to metal of something like that. My mom thought it was a manhole cover.

I inspected inside the wheel-well and couldn't find a trace of rubbing. In my opinion, that is the only plausible thing that can be happening.


I will be rolling soon - just in case.

[coolgraymemo]

Can anyone recommend me some good wheel locks (for studs)?

I'm thinking of ordering these: http://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Automo...617639&sr=8-16

[97A6]

love the color.
I think my gunmetal Enkei EKM3's would look good on it...

[yoffer]

Welcome!

[coolgraymemo]

No thanks. I'm set with these.

[coolgraymemo]

Not a lot has been done since my last update since I have started class.

This past weekend, I attended a local meet. I don't have any pictures but I really enjoyed meeting the members: they were mature and responsible.

[crazexr7]

wheels look good! I don't start class till tuesday, getting ready to rack up more miles on the car commuting.

[coolgraymemo]

Tell me about it...

60 miles round-trip every day.

[crazexr7]

yours is worse than mine mines about 35 everyday but it's still mileage

[coolgraymemo]

I'm excited that I may pick something up tomorrow. Something very interesting. I pray to God it goes through...

[JohnCash]

Welcome beautiful Audi.

[coolgraymemo]

I'm going to use this as my "blog."

Today I received a rebuild kit for my Forge DV (paid free.99 for it).

After putting the wheels on my car, I am getting a lot of compliments and thumbs up from people.
I also had one particular incident that I found funny (at last weekend's meet).
Guy (in Russian accent) - "I like the rims on this car. What is the brand?"
Me - "Thanks, the wheels are SSR."
Guy - "Ohhhhhh, Japanese rims."


I am also going to be purchasing some spacers for the rear. I like the front fitment, but the rears are more sunk in - it looks like I'm running wider wheels up front.

[NeedingAnAudi]

Is it on the ground yet?

[coolgraymemo]

No not yet. I need to find/buy some wrenches. I want it to sit at F 24.0" R 24.5."

[coolgraymemo]

111,111 miles completed today.

#feelsbatman

[coolgraymemo]

Will be ordering 10mm spacers for the rear.

[crazexr7]

wow looks so goood spacers will look sick

[hellohappiness]

nice

[coolgraymemo]

I sort of regret getting 225's now.



I should of done 245 or 255.
