Indeed you do

Right, you guys don't have OBD ports on your model year do you? Good adaptation

We do..

But we have immobilizers that prevent OBD2 flashing with Maestro so unless I rewire my OBD2 port to bypass it, this will have to suffice.

I hope that was meant with sarcasm. Let's keep the bashing out of this thread. This is a homebrew mod thread, take the good with the bad.

I wouldn't even begin to know how to create a custom steering wheel. pretty f'n amazing if you ask me.

Great stuff guys. Some amazing work in here!

Well,

I didn't know about this , but it wouldn't have worked on me anyway.. so I guess mine is still a homebrew mod.

It was one of the many things I came across through hours of google searching for ATW to AWM wideband swaps. Going to depin and re-pin my current harness once Maestro gets here.

It is lovely how easy they made de-pinning the connectors..

Look forward to the pictures.

c'mon man.. Who would think that wheel sucks? You must be 50+ if you didn't understand my lingo (even in text) OR ya just not with the times.

Bad words CAN = good words.

For AEB = you could just provide 12v to pin 43 and flash via OBD (boot mode). That's what I do with my AEB.

Anyone homebrew the rear coolant flange?

[drumonay]

can we get some more info on that wheel...??? Thing is absolutely beautiful!

nice of you to change the 40+ to 50+... makes me not with the times instead of just being old. I could see how someone could look at that wheel and not like it, but I had to assume you were being sarcastic. I'm familiar with the bad words = good words lingo, just didn't realize that we had gone that far. I'm old. Now get off my lawn you crazy kids!

That is not an S4 emblem. It's the sports steering wheel emblem...I think . But def not an S4 emblem.

On topic, recently added home brewed mod. PCV dump made with -10 AN Nylon braided hose, -10 hose end fittings, and 034 Billet block breather adapter. I'll take a better pic later of how it looks on my car, with valve cover tapped for 1/2" npt fitting and black wrinkle coated. Anyways, here is the dump I made. The arrow is pointing to the only good fitting (Summit Racing), and all the rest were ebay junk. As you can see, all the lines were frayed except for that one. And as they say, buy right or buy twice. I ended up replacing the rest of the fittings with Summit Racing ones because I wanted a clean look. Pic of it installed on the vehicle coming in a couple min.

[biketsai]

Looks good, I'd like to start making some of my PCV stuff this way! Is it pretty easy?

[Seerlah]

Really easy.

Wait!!! What? Flashable aeb?!? Is that what you are talking about? Is this after already having a tune?

[onemoremile]

Not car related but it will roll on 4 wheels. I made this longboard last night. Triple sandwich of carbon fiber and lightweight honeycomb core with vacuum resin infusion. The text is all molded into the resin, the script is .004" below the surface and the block text is .004" above. Bottom has that super cool honeycomb pattern showing through. Used home depot crap to make the mold.

[CCA4]

^That's badass! More pics?

[languidium]

Wow... that came out really clean. Kudos

[onemoremile]

original board was 4.3 pounds, carbon/hc board is half the weight and way stronger. this was a rough prototype to act as a feasibility demonstrator. the production boards will have a cleaner top finish, kevlar front and rear bumper patches, deck grip rail molded in, custom wood veneers, and some other interesting touches.

When they hit the market please let me know, or if you need a beta tester. I long board every day every where so if you need a test, let me know :)
