[ActivS5]

Welp, glad he's off the road now. What a dumbass

[frenchyofcp]

That is why you dont give a damn kid an m3 for his first car. Another reason why you make your kids buy their own cars. Just as I did.....

Anyways when are we all meeting up. Im still down for a meet at the Fountains. Maybe tonight is anyone is interested just text me 916 990 5882., Mikunis sounds good.

[frenchyofcp]

Hey guys. So im replacing my valve cover gasket and spark plugs very soon. I am having that rough cold start on my car. Im hoping this will fix it but as I was searching I saw that the PCV might need replacement. Is there anyone that could maybe help me with this if so? Also does anyone have vag com and would know how to do b6 to b7 key. I already screwed up one key....... Anyways thanks for your help.

[PSXBatou]

Just added a new Audi to our family! Picked up a Phantom Black 2012 Audi Q5 2.0T Premium Plus with smart key and Audi MMI Navigation Plus today to replace our aging SUV.

As always Lasher treated me right and gave me a great deal on the car. Cheers to Josh and Mike for making this deal happen, two really good guys.

Pictures soon!

Hey guys, I'm wondering if any of you can help me out whether you know someone or you yourself can help me out but I've got a check engine light on and its an issue with the ect sensor. I've replaced the sensor, then replaced the sensor again with the pigtail connector and still no go. Its a 2002 Audi S4. Any help or reference would be appreciated. Willing to take care of you guys money wise too for some diagnosing hah thanks

i can code it out for you if needed, only problem i just reloaded my computer and waiting for my new licence from the vendor for the program.

[ValveCap]

@ EN1GMA. Im in elk grove. I would take it down if I felt comfortable driving it but I'm having some other issues at hand with the car as it comes down to driving it, just looking to get her to pass smog.

Infinkc I might be able to work something with that, I was wondering about that actually. Just need her to pass smog like I said but then again I would like to actually fix the issue instead of mask it up.

Anybody also know of a good diag guy who's good with vag?

[PSXBatou]

Well that was a fun time.. Was sitting at a stop light on Elk Grove and Auto Center going west and a Motorcyclist tagged my mirror lane splitting his way to the front. I speed up get around traffic and start high beaming the bike and he pulls over. Saw a motorcycle cop was ahead with his lights on, there isn't much of a shoulder on EGB so we pulled in to a strip mall.

Luckily no damage to the mirror, functions properly and has no marks at all on it. The guy says he didn't feel anything, but I heard it and usually you feel everything on a bike. Cop that was ahead of us has now swung around and pulled behind us I see him reciting our plates in to his mic and then another cop shows up, really? It's that slow of a day in EG that 2 cops have to show up for something that amounted to no incident?

I explained to the cop what happened he walked over and inspected/eyeballed my car and told the bike guy to be more careful.

Could have been worse, but I was appreciative that the motorcyclist pulled over. I had no way of knowing there was no damage, and I was skeptical I could get him to pull over at first. Lane splitting should be illegal here just as it is in the majority of states. It was put in to place when bikes would overheat sitting in traffic, that is no longer relevant.

Anyhow, /rant I'm done, lol.

Oh no, I don't work in sales. No no no

[ValveCap]

Update on the car once again. I had a couple of codes stored that I hadn't previously had so this morning on my way out to class I cleared the codes and ran it to see which would come back for sure. The only code I have now is again the 16502. Every time that I look into 16502, and Infinkc might be more of help to me cause of the b5, but it goes into replacement of the coolant temp sensor. http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/16502/P0118/000280 is the page on the dtc. I feel like I'm really over thinking this issue but on the other hand with the replacement of the sensor and the connector, what other things could relate into it?

Sorry for blowing up the thread about my issues hah.

[Drifty]

Oh no, I don't work in sales. No no no

Haha.

[Zane_S4]

This is a big bummer. Its a good thing no one was hurt, and it doesn't sound like much was damage if anything at all.

[recklessmonkey]

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to say what's up and show some love to my fellow Sac Area Audi owners. I have had my '08 Dolphin Gray A4 3.2 Quattro for about a year now and I have loved it every second of it. The car is still stock reason being that the better part of that year of ownership has been spent saving for and planning a wedding. Now that I have the wedding in my rear view, hopefully I can start getting some mods (well of what there is to choose from for the 3.2 [wrench]).

[ActivS5]

Hello and welcome to the community!

[recklessmonkey]

Hello and welcome to the community!

Thank you!

[PSXBatou]

Does anyone know of a contractor that can do minor fence repair in the Sac/EG area? I'm not a DIY kind of person and would prefer to hire someone that could repair a few things that is insured and has a valid contractors license.

Thanks!
Ed

[tiptronic]

Awesome! Your A3 looks great



Thanks! Just a humble little A3 [:)] And a stocker A5 2.0t quattro... both Ibis White. Although I didn't see much A3 in Sac...

Moving into N Natomas area. I hope i can find a job!

Any recommendation or suggestion for independent VW/Audi shop/mechanic?

WOOP! Thanks for the welcoming! It was super cool you invited me and my girl to have dinner with you and your wife....all because of having an Audi. So tight.

I gotta be honest, when I saw you parking, I was joking with my girl, saying, "How much you wanna bet this guy is part of the AZ forums??" So that's why I parked right next to you. Haha. Anyways, I'm looking forward to doing some meets and the drives that you mentioned. Thanks again for the beer! I owe you next time[az]

Sacramento Auto Show- I was at the show at 10am when the doors opened, overall worth the visit but I was disappointed to see only 2 Audi cars on display. Ford and Toyota own the show this year...too bad the cars were ugly.

Ive never seen a $12 draft beer before, not that I was interested but I was just shocked!

The car art exhibit was interesting

I went & I really liked the BMW X1 - I didn't think I would, but it was relatively roomy inside and comfortable. I have heard it has road & wind noise, however.

Doing some overtime over in Rancho off of White Rock this morning. I spotted an all black A4, with blacked out badges, and parked next to it with my A3. If that's anyone's....whattup!! Also spotted a dolphin grey A4 in the same parking lot walking into the building.

I suggest going to eat at Fisherman's Grotto on the same strip as the Aquarium. Probably had the best clam chowder there and they threw in some fresh king crab in there that they just caught that morning.

[ActivS5]

I think I've seen that black A4. I think a woman drives it. Was it a B8?

[LURK]

Yeah it was as B8. At least I think it was, I kinda gave it a quick glance and then ran inside because I was already late......Well, I was supposed to be in at 7am...got in a 720am......but I signed in saying I got in at 7am. Awww yeeeah. Lol. I'll give it a look when we're out for break.

[tiptronic]

Thanks Lurk and ActivS5 for the suggestions for Monterey. Should be a great weather for a drive and photo ops. Trying to get some great images to frame and decorate house with. (no, not car photos, already have plenty of those =) )

[LURK]

Have a good time, tiptronic! Should be beautiful over there this time of year. Last I went was last December and it was perfect.

EDIT: Yep that B8 A4 is owned by an Asian chick. 20 min break and were both sitting in our cars.

Waiting for Lasher to call me back, my S4 stalled itself in my driveway. No warning lights or anything, the car just lunged a bit and then stalled the engine. Almost felt like when you stall a car in a manual transmission but my car is DSG.

Anyone know if 500-600 is normal idle RPM for a B8 S4? It seems low to me, but I noticed this morning that's what it was at when I was at a stop.

Ah the quirks of German cars.. lol.

[LURK]

Damn that's harsh! Hopefully things are all good!

[PSXBatou]

Damn that's harsh! Hopefully things are all good!

Everything seems ok except the low idle RPM, it hasn't stalled again, no warning lights or check engine lights. Figure I'll get it in the dealer to take a peek, though something tells me they'll find nothing.

That's good that it hasn't stalled again. But, the low idle is a bit weird. Dealer should be able to clear it up the mystery. Still under warranty?

[PSXBatou]

It's a 2012 so yup still has plenty of Warranty. Dealer said if it happens again or I notice more oddities to call and get it checked out. 700 is normal idle for my car they said.

With no lights or warnings I doubt it triggered a fault, hopefully its just a fluke thing and not the start of something. Basically they said to just keep an eye on the car, heh

[ActivS5]

Weird, that happened to me one day. My car is a manual, but I was just cruising at like 5 mph in 1st gear. No warning lights or anything. It hasn't happened since. Others have had the same experience too. Sucks having it in the back of your head though.

After being very skeptical about the renderings of the facelift, I've grown to like them after seeing modded facelifted cars on here.

I ordered a 2013 Daytona Gray S5 today. Specs are Black leather/Lunar Silver alcantara, Audi MMI Navigation plus Package, B&O, Advanced key, Carbon Fiber inlays

Last, but not least........S-Tronic. I'm moving to S-Tronic so the Mrs. and others can drive my car without a problem. It hurts me to watch others drive my manual S5 poorly. I also like the s-tronic transmission, not more than a manual, but the double clutch is intriguing.

I'm going to miss the V8 exhaust note, but the tunability of the 3.0T should make up for it.

I'll be parting out my current S5 starting at the beginning of the year. http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...5-Build-Thread

I'll be parting out my current S5 starting at the beginning of the year. http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...5-Build-Thread

Sweet! Can't wait to see what you do to this one.

[coolgraymemo]

After being very skeptical about the renderings of the facelift, I've grown to like them after seeing modded facelifted cars on here.

I ordered a 2013 Daytona Gray S5 today. Specs are Black leather/Lunar Silver alcantara, Audi MMI Navigation plus Package, B&O, Advanced key, Carbon Fiber inlays

[Skidrowe]

Thanks! I drove one today and really enjoyed it. Need anything for your A5?

Was it as fast as mine? Maybe APR and Revo will have a tune out by the time you get it now that GIAC has cracked the face lifted ECU. Check out the stuff Eurocode has to offer for the B8 platform if you're not already aware of their stuff.

[frenchyofcp]

Ahh no, unfortunately not. But we need to meet up though.



Frenchy?

[ActivS5]

The S-Tronic is pretty quick. Down shifting is boom, boom, boom! There's a tiny but of lag upshifting, but it didn't really bother me.

Gideon, you car felt much faster than the stock B8 S4 I drove

[PSXBatou]

Maybe we should have another meetup before the weather goes south on us?

The parking lot we were at the last time seemed to work, BJ's is nearby if we want food/beverage. It also looks like there is a burger place that will allow us to stage behind their establishment for a meetup.

Who's game, and what weekends work for you all? My schedule is fairly clear on Saturdays with 11/17 being the only exception. Maybe we can get ActivS5 out there so we can have one last look at his ride before he parts it out/trades it in [:p]

Ed

[LURK]

You talking about the BJs in our neck of the woods PSXBatou?

I'd be down depending on the weekend since it's just a short ride up for me =)

I would be up for a Natomas or an EG meetup. Any sac area location really, I just hope I will be free this time.

[coolgraymemo]

Let's do it.

[0000 V8]

Looking forward to a meet up when I get back into the country, as well. I have about $20k in new race parts and fabrication.

Its essentially done minus more power mods and a fire suppression system. Just need to get home to install a few more things on order!

Oh, and you will NOT be disappointed my friend [evilsmile]

[redfury]

well is anybody invited i might run up there to meet some Azr's depending if jhm gets my parts in on time. otherwise ill be stuck here driving the gas hog(f250)

[PSXBatou]

How about the Natomas spot at say 2pm this Saturday the 3rd?

Anyone interested email NorCalAudi at batou dot org or PM me here and I'll give you the directions/location.

Sounds like we might be able to get a nice group together, its basically an empty parking lot so its kinda nice we don't bother anyone and last time security didn't really bother us.

I'll either be in a Monsoon Gray 2012 S4 or a Phantom Black 2012 Q5

Look forward to seeing some of you again and meeting some new faces.

Ed

[LURK]

I have overtime in Rancho till about 3pm-330pm, but if you guys are planning on being there for a couple hours, I might be able to swing by right after in my nothing-fancy-just-stock A3.

I wanna say we were there for at least 3 hours last time, maybe closer to 4.

[PSXBatou]

Here is the location, since we didn't have any issues last time I really don't think they mind us being there. Just be responsible ;-)

Its in the old Sam's club parking lot in Natomas. Sams club is closed so the parking lot is empty and clean.

Address:
3671 N Freeway Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95834

Link: http://www.yelp.com/map/sams-club-sacramento

We will be parking in the aisle closest to the entrance of the old Sams Club.

Lets do 3pm unless anyone has objections? That gives us a good 3-3.5 hours before sun down

[PSXBatou]

Starting a roll call for the Natomas meet this Saturday the 3rd at 3pm

1. PSXBatou (Ed)

[recklessmonkey]

I am busy this sat until about 3:30-4pm, if not a little later. If I am able to free up the time, I will swing by.

I figure this weekend would be better for most than next weekend, since its a holiday next weekend and people tend to have family plans or go out of town.

If we need to shift the times I really don't mind, I was just throwing the time out there as a suggestion based on daylight available :)

This weekend definitely makes more sense. I think I am more busy next week. lol. But, don't change the time on my account. The more daylight the better.

Are you keeping the wheels for the new ride?

No, I want to start a new project :)

I'll probably be only able to stay at the meet for about an hour because I need to get my wheels dismounted before Sunday morning.

It's on order, so probably about 4 months until it gets here.

[IdkJosh]

You guys know that meet we had nearly a month and a half ago?

Can anyone recommend a good place to get tinting done? I've read horror stories about tinters that fry the amp from too much water use during tinting. Any Audi "friendly" tinters out in the Sacto area? I'm looking at Genesis Window Tinting in Elk Grove, but open to recommendations as well as feedback on Genesis. Thanks!

I've gone to Premium Quality Glass and Tint in Rancho twice. First time was for my 300, second was for my A3. Quality jobs and never had any problems with my tint.

We gave it a hour and figured no one else was going to show up, I'm back in EG already.

Chris, was nice to finally meet you after our many forum conversations, nice S5 you're gonna miss that V8 sound. That offer still stands if you want me to source you a M5 speaker for the new car, still get that V8 sound!! lol [:D]

Memo, nice seeing you again, sorry if I cut you off it wasn't intended.

[LURK]

Aww haha all good. Ill post pics of our little audi meet. Next time then!!!

Good to see you guys today. Love seeing the cars as always. We'll have to do it again sometime. I may be coming in my VW next time though as my S5 may be gone :/

[Mark916]

Ohh wow, I must have been sleeping, didn't see this meetup today, need to check my Zine settings for new posts. I was just sitting around today with the kiddies.

It was nice see the loud white S5 Chris. The exhaust note is amazing.

I didn't see you cut me off Ed, so I guess its okay.

[recklessmonkey]

LURK, lol sorry! You guys literally just missed us. Next time

Guess we just missed you guys. That sucks. I was lookin forward to seeing the S5 in person for the first and the last time. Lol. And finally getting to meet you guys in person. Well there is always next time!

Ohh, now you sell your TSW's after looking for these (: I think your rears were 19x10? The rears probably wouldn’t fit without some heavy fender pulling.

Sorry to put a break on the conversation, but since I'm a recent transplant to Sac- wondering whether you guys know or recommend a trusted Vw/Audi Indy shop that can work on my 07 A3 for service/maintenance . I had a great mechanic in SoCal that only worked on Vw/Audi and Saab cars (former rally car driver/ car builder) but now I have to find someone or somewhere trustworthy. I just noticed a leak on my outer CV boot (pass side) and would like to get that fixed soon before rainy /winter weather hits. or if any of you recommend an Audi dealer of choice for maintenance work. Of course I'm always looking for quality and cost friendly place.
I live in No Natomas (by del paso/ 5 freeway/ e commerce way area)

Thanks.

[ActivS5]

Elk Grove Audi always does the work on my cars and they always do great work.

There's also 2Bennett in Davis, JHM in Lathrop, and 034 in Fremont.

I think everyone charges around $100/hour for labor

closest to you would be 2bennet as said above, there is valley motorwerk in rancho cordova also. Thats it for audi in sac besides the dealers.

[Zane_S4]

Any one have experience with IPB-Autosport? They are downtown Sac. A kid on here told me about them so I just made an appointment with them. I don't really like 2Bennett personally they have kind of screwed me over a couple of times.

[coolgraymemo]

2B charges $109 per hour.

I don't like 2B.

Only experience with IPB was for a chip/flash.

[Zane_S4]

How did IPB seem to you? Would you get work done there?

[coolgraymemo]

I didn't spend much time there. They are expensive but do good work.

Another option is Franks Automotive (mostly deal of Porsche) on Folsom Blvd.

[Zane_S4]

Oh ok. I just need some service and some things checked out and the quote they gave me was reasonable. Are they cheaper or better or why do you recommend them?

[coolgraymemo]

Because I don't like 2B.

[Zane_S4]

Ha what did they do to you?

[ActivS5]

I feel like 2B rounds up their labor hours. Before I started doing suspension work myself. They quoted me like $500 for a spring install (I provide the springs) on my old A5. In my garage, I can get that done in about 3 hours with a jack stand and air tools. I feel like 2B can easily get that done before me.

They avoided answering specific questions about a product, but replied with quickness when I inquired about purchasing something.

They screwed up my fenders like you have seen at meets then said they couldn't fix them. They also never get back to me when I ask about getting work done but when I go in to buy something they are nice.

[PSXBatou]

There will be another one. If the weather holds up maybe we can get one going after Thanksgiving. I would assume most will be busy the next few weekends with the holiday/long weekends.

Report the issue here so others know and it makes them more aware of their issues. Also the State can bring down the gavel if too many people have had similar complaints against a repair shop. Too many complaints and their license wont get renewed and/or they'll get fined.

I'm better with Saturdays but if more people want a Sunday meet I can adjust my schedule one weekend. I think I've seen 2 people ask about Sundays, does it matter to you Chris?

I'll do some looking around this weekend in EG, I think I might have a few places in mind but I need to go look before I open my mouth. My biggest issue with EG is how touchy the cops can be there. I don't forsee any issues its just something in the back of my mind.

Yeah, they started the game off kinda slow, down by 10pts and lots of turnovers. Then by mid 2nd qtr to about the late 3rd, they kept a pretty decent lead. I don’t even know what happened in the 4th...it’s like they got lazy because they knew they had the lead. Lol. But yeah, I’m getting into it again!


I was actually thinking the same thing Memo. Anyone have any suggestions for places? I'm gonna wander around this weekend and do some scouting.


I'm in for an Elk Grove meet. I don't know the area very well as for where to meet though. Thoughts, Ed, Kris?

Couple places I could think of is there’s a Starbucks off Whitelock, right next to Franklin High School, that’s right in between I-5 and Highway 99 and that plaza has a huge open parking lot. I’d say the lot where Five Guys Burgers, just off of 99, is at would be cool, depending on the time of day. There’s a couple spots right off of I-5 right at the Elk Grove Blvd or the Laguna exit where we could go.


I'll do some looking around this weekend in EG, I think I might have a few places in mind but I need to go look before I open my mouth. My biggest issue with EG is how touchy the cops can be there. I don't forsee any issues its just something in the back of my mind.

Actually come to think of it, Ed's right about the EGPD. If we met up somewhere closer to the freeways and not so much into EG, it'd be better for the ones who have some mods that could catch the EGPD attention.

This starbucks might be perfect, with Golds Gym gone there is plenty of free parking in areas that we wont be disrupting business and its literally right off the freeway.

I'll check it out as far as staging areas go at that location and other possible areas in EG this weekend, Lurk or any other EG locals if you're free Friday or Saturday and want to help scout let me know via PM/Text Message.

I'm free on weekends unless I'm doing a project around my house or something

That sbux area would be perfect. I actually live right next to that area and skate in the parking lot where golds gym used to be. It’s actually a church now, but I dunno when they meet. I was there one Sunday afternoon, skateboarding in the lot, and there was no one there. A lot of parking space because there’s hardly any businesses up in that plaza. If anything, I can go there and take a couple of pics and post it on here.

I'll porbably check out the plazas right off of the freeway at Elk Grove Blvd, too.

[recklessmonkey]

I am up for a meet in EG. Be nice to get back to my old neck of the woods. I am completely busy this Sat. But, Sunday and Monday (if you guys are off for Veteran's Day) remain possibilities for me or next weekend is free at the moment too.

[infinkc]

I'm in for an Elk Grove meet. I don't know the area very well as for where to meet though. Thoughts, Ed, Kris?

Seems like Sundays work better for everyone.

The best places probably to meet up are:

Behind the BJs by 5 guys burgers right off 99 and EG Laguna
Whitelock Blvd and Bruseville at that semi vacant shopping center
Strikes bowling alley parking lot on Laguna
The old Golds Gym lot on laguna
Shopping center off I5 and elk grove blvd behind the Shell
Any of the many public parks in the area

[0000 V8]

Is anyone going to the HPDE at Thunderhill in Jan? I want to go, but Id need to buy a passenger seat, lol. I just might anyway.

[DoThisMyWay]

I feel like 2B rounds up their labor hours. Before I started doing suspension work myself. They quoted me like $500 for a spring install (I provide the springs) on my old A5. In my garage, I can get that done in about 3 hours with a jack stand and air tools. I feel like 2B can easily get that done before me.

I did the same with my B7 Avant. I brought in Stasis coilovers and had 2B do the install. They weren't too enthused but they took my money. They would rather sell you the parts and do the install but they did have the best prices for a TB job for my B6 3.0 though. Audi EG wanted $2100+ for parts and labor, East County Euro wanted $1900+. 2B did it for $1400. They do awesome alignment work too. Niello Audi has jacked up my cars in so many ways. I hate them.

All of these spots are really good places to have an Elk Grove meet. Most of these spots stay fairly open, except for the Strikes lot (unless we pull out to the back lots near Cal Fit). The Whitelock/Bruceville area would really be prime (same location as the starbucks I was talking about in my post), but I’m just worried about how far they have to drive into EG and could possibly get lit up by the sensitive EGPD. If anything, the other 4 spots are good because they’re right off the freeway and all have places to grab some drinks or something to eat.

[S4MAFIA]

I propose the next meet should be in Elk Grove.

^this + on Sunday

Thanks, yeah I don't like the color of the wheels. My original plan was to paint them or just remove the current paint. But right now I have more important things to fix lol

[ActivS5]

Nice B5! I was always under the impression you had a B6 though

[DansB6]

Thanks! Yes I had a B6 when I made this account. I downgraded to a B5 a few months ago.

[Romann916]

freakin elk grove is 28miles away >_____< good thing i got a A4 lol!
Setup a time and date guys! Maybe ill finally make it and meet some of u audizine peeps :D

[ActivS5]

Lets choose a location this weekend and then schedule a date after the location is set.

[PSXBatou]

I'm thinking the Starbucks I linked earlier, I'm gonna go there tomorrow morning. Update soon after!

[coolgraymemo]

lolwut.

2Bennett has moved from their old location. Hopefully now they can update their website to 2009.

[LURK]

I'm thinking the Starbucks I linked earlier, I'm gonna go there tomorrow morning. Update soon after!

Yeah that starbucks would be the best bet or the lot across the street where the Sun Grove Church/former Gold’s Gym is, since that lot is bigger and vacant most of the time.

I gotta fill up my Audrina this weekend and since the Chevron I go to is right next door to that place, I’ll take a couple of pictures (if it’s still light out) and then I’ll post them.

I was just out there, I think the lot across where the former Gym was is better to meet up. We could just use the Starbucks as a marker/address.

So SacTown AZ'rs When would you like to have another meet. We are about even with the Saturday and Sunday folks, from my own personal opinion Saturdays work best since I usually can't get away from football on Sundays with people at my house.

I'm gonna throw some dates out, Start time will be 2pm, that gives us maybe 2-2.5 hours before sundown. These are all Saturdays, I can likely do 12/9 but that's the first Sunday I know no one is coming over for football. Plus, Sundays are made for relaxing [:p]

11/17
12/1
12/8

Which dates work best for you guys so we can get a better turnout than 3? [az]

This will be the location. Quick freeway access and since their services are on Sunday we shouldnt be bothering anyone.

Ed

[LURK]

Tight tight. Thanks Ed for taking the lead on this!

On the 17th, I'll be at overtime again, but I might skip out on it if this meet goes through (plus the 17th won't really be overtime since I have that previous monday off, resulting in straight pay instead of time and a half). But if not the 17th, the other dates work fine for me or even any Sunday.

[recklessmonkey]

I can probably be free for any of those dates. But I think the sooner the better for hopefully better weather. So I would vote for 11/17. Also, 12/2 is a Sunday. [:D]

i can correct your cluster to the correct mileage for you also, probably would help selling it, cause DMV will flag the incorrect mileage.


Im good on the saturday dates for the meets.

[PSXBatou]

For sake of the weather I'm gonna say we do the meet on 11/17 at 2pm. I'll make a new post in a few so it doesn't get confused with other Sac messages.

[DansB6]

What's up with selling the car? :(

Craigslist (http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/3398564949.html)

I'm going to buy a B6 1.8T, I originally bought this car with a bad engine as a project but I just bought a new project car (for off-roading). So I'm going to just buy a B6 1.8T and build it up slowly. I already had 2 calls about it when I posted it today so hopefully I sell it. But I'm in no rush to sell it at the same time.

Thanks for the offer, but I already registered it with the mileage being off, I checked the "mileage is not accurate" box.

Any one ever been to the junk yards out in Rancho Cordova? I went today and got fenders and some other things. Sooo many Audi parts I could have spent so much money there. I have looked for months to find fenders and found those today and started looking there today. The guy said he normally just sends everything to the East coast. If you need a random part I suggest going there instead of spending for ever on forums. Ok thats all just very happy I finally got these damn fenders!

I've been there, but I went there for my EK civic. There is a ton of parts on cars there compared to stockton's which I visit regularly

[coolgraymemo]

Congrats on the fenders!

Which dismantler? I've been to one of them and their service was okay. I did like that they let me enter the yard and pick the part I wanted.

[Zane_S4]

Yeah there are a ton of different dismantlers. It was Auto Imports USA but I found them under Volkswagen Audi Specialized Recyclers. They said they were going through a name change. The service was good because I went on the yard found want I wanted and they pulled it. This was all 15 mins before they closed too.

[frenchyofcp]

Do you have an adress?

Anyone know of a good road/street in Elk Grove where I can get up to 60 and then quickly stop [safely]? I need an area with no traffic.

[bedding in new rotors/pads]

[ActivS5]

Grant Line?

[5TAK]

Looking for a set of 18s for my 05 A4. OEM, aftermarket, whatever.

Let me know if anyone has anything available.

Thanks

[bedding in new rotors/pads]

in eg, i usually go down bruceville south, there are a ton of backroads there past grant line. if in sunrise, head to dillard road by slouhouse. if by natomas, go up 5 north and turn off twords yuba city and just take one of those streets off the freeway that cross.

[LURK]

What Kris said.

You might also want to check out the area where they were supposed to build the Elk Grove shopping mall, just a few miles right behind the Elk Grove Auto Mall. Just drive down West Stockton Blvd, alongside 99 south. After the stop sign right next to the Nissan dealership, there’s a good stretch of road. Then you can make a right onto Whitelock Parkway and there’s another good stretch of road.

Anyone else wanting to join in on the drive for tomorrow?

[frenchyofcp]

Does anyone have a set of Blizzaks that would want to swap for a day or so? I want to go up to the snow and have some fun with the quattro. But I have summer tires... If anyone would like to swap please let me know. Thanks!

[ZXERT]

Its a new year, lets schedule a meet in Sac or somewhere close. Just picked up a USP in December.

[coolgraymemo]

There's the Berkeley Marina meet in a few weeks. We can probably setup a caravan there.
