[coolgraymemo]

roll cage?

why?

[biketsai]

Because race car

[ThatA4T]

I work at a shop that builds custom roll cages, mandrel bent exhausts and custom headers... Why not its dirt cheap and will look mean as f*** and If its coming apart again, I'm doing it!

[ThatA4T]

Because race car

Spot on Haha who knows after the engine build I may need it ;)

[NeedingAnAudi]

Because Jordan crashes.

[ThatA4T]

Because Jordan crashes.

even better reason

[crazexr7]

Awesome plans.

[ThatA4T]

so..... i know i said within the next couple months but i got the famous oil pressure light today. im F***ing done haha im tired of burning oil and problem after problem. engine is coming out today f it.

[ThatA4T]

Turns out the plug came loose from the sending unit, so no tearing apart yet Haha need the 2.8 in my garage back together and then ill be parking mine for a long time. Hoping to have it ready for wuste but can't make any promises Haha

[SomeDayAS4]

get to it... i wanna see it when its done...

[AudiNFS]

Can't wait

[ThatA4T]

shouldnt be long before i get started. i just set the engine and trans back into the 2.8 in my garage and just gotta finish that project up and sell it so i have my garage back and some more money in my pocket. then ill pull my 1.8t in the garage and pull the engine, trans, interior, all the glass. first project will be welding up holes in the bay and building sheet metal sides like rob did as well as welding up side marker lights and holes from where lower door moldings use to attach. this friday i am picking up a set of s4 side skirts and a new rear bumper, so those will be in the mix here soon as well. once i get the bumper, ill be starting to shave the exhaust cut out on the rear valance for the 3rd time. this time it will not be going on until my exhaust is done. im still on the hunt for an s4 front bumper so thats going to be the only hold up as of now. i need some advice on how to make some new A/C lines that run in the fender well. I plan on purchasing some ss fuel lines that i will re rout in the same method rob did. as well as using robs method of running the wiring harness behind the pre firewall and cutting a hole over the bell housing to run all of my wiring out of sight. PCV and evap will be deleted, although i need to leave some sort of access to re attach them when it comes time for emissions. the power steering tank will also be moved and a bracket built to hold it behind the pre firewall. i do plan on keeping my windshield washer tank as this will still be a daily driver but i will find a clean method to hide it.

[ThatA4T]

[ThatA4T]

[the_pirate]

Weight savings bro….

[ThatA4T]

Weight savings bro….

haha wish i could leave it this way haha its only goona be heavier when im done. dynamating the entire car, caging it, and full interior back in

[crazexr7]

that's a nice seat haha. And jealous of your plans to dynamat it. I want to do my car some day

[ThatA4T]

Since every single thing is out, I almost feel like I have to Haha ill really enjoy not having tons of road noise and drowning exhaust sounds when I build my exhaust.

[NeedingAnAudi]

I need an exhaust.

[ThatA4T]

Me too hopefully soon!

[discontained]

that sunroof is pretty heavy you should think about getting a carbon fiber replacement ... put all that weight down low yo

[ThatA4T]

[discontained]

[ThatA4T]

I know I know Haha I should sell my sunroof to help fund the build.

[discontained]

are you going to run a Slim-Fan pulley fan delete?

[ThatA4T]

Yes sir mechanical fan will be replaced with electric. Already have the smaller belt but need a fan.

[NeedingAnAudi]

[ThatA4T]

[NeedingAnAudi]

Gunna pull the engine ever year around the same time now??

[ThatA4T]

Well its tradition now Haha I guess I have to. This is a lot more than pulling an engine Haha I hope I can get it back together :p its amazing how audi can fit all those parts in one car but I can't fit them in a 2 car garage Haha

[TConklin821]

^Lol aint it the truth

[ThatA4T]

[flynnr]

damn, do work son.

will you post up info on the shorter belt?

[ThatA4T]

Just left my house ill snag a part number tomorrow.

[ThatA4T]

forgot to grab that part number on the belt. ill check tonight when i get home. ill sell it to u if u want since im going vr. but as of now i have a few questions on vr6 swap. for those of you who have done the swap and kept power steering and A/C i need details. ive seen pictures but i need info. here is a pic i found from this thread http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...B5-Information

What is that motor mount bracket off from on the drivers side that attaches to the stock motor mount, holds the A/C compressor, alternator, and power steering pump? is that the stock 1.8 bracket? If so, any details on how its modified to fit the vr? or link to this persons build thread would be great.

By the way, ill be buying the adapter plate for the stock trans soon so that i can mock up the engine and trans in place and begin to fab up some motor mount brackets to utilize my existing 034 street density mounts. i dont have an engine i can use in the car yet, but my bro has a spare vr6 laying around (that he wont give me) but hell let me borrow it to mock up for mounts.

[ThatA4T]
