"DONE!"What next?

[audiluxary]

I finally finished my FMIC. I started on it like 3 days ago, I have been taking my time on it because I have a lot of time off. I need to align it more so it will fit the bumper better. New coolant resevoir also, and pretty pink. I am done for now because I wanted to try it out and see how it felt. I like it, I don't care what anyone says but I get more boost with this thing on. I took it for a test drive and I boost 20psi in third and that in 4th maybe a little bit more like 21-22psi in 4th opossed to 18 psi. I am all for it. I have a Godspeed FMIC, ya it's a ebay FMIC but I am very pleased with it. I need to align the FMIC a little bit more to the bumper, but what else can I do while I have the time off? I have a valve cover gasket, FPR, and fuel injector o-rings coming in tomarrow fro ECS because I can see a little bit of grime forming around them. I have upgraded to a new Podi boost gauge and steeering column mount (just waiting for it), now what else can I do? Anybody with some input, please help I want to do more stuff to the car before I store it for deployment. Don't say new turbo because I am doing that when I get back. This is my 3rd deployment so I want to get everything prepared for the car before I get back. Any input would be greatful, what else, before the wife finds out and bitches more about this car!

what kind of bumper is that? is the front opening like crooked?

[BONFIRE074]

injectors? test pipe? TIP? fpr

fitment looks good though

[audiluxary]

It's a RS4 bumper w/fog brackets but custom modded, so the gills are removed. I have custom fiberglass fog brackets that are not on their because they are being painted. The bottom part of the bumper is sagging, I know, that will be fixed don't worry. I know I have have to have the bottom of the bumper repainted, but what else can I do?

[audiluxary]

The bumper is straight, the problem here is the further I go over to the passenger side, then I won't be able to keep my fog light and I want to keep my fog light. You can see both corners of the bumper are aligned with the headlights, the FMIC just needs to go to the passenger side a little bit more but then, by,by fog light I don't think so! I will work on it more later and then post final pix, but what else?

[njm23]

suede headliner-pillars/new vac-lines/black out grill surround/while the valve cover is off make it look nice/add a fuel pressure gauge to that fpr/o yeah and a good wash and wax!. and thats all i got haha

[audiluxary]

njm23, I am going to paint the valve cover when it is off, I am going to clean up the whole engine bay, maybe I can put new vac lines in I think they pretty good except some of the check valves could be replaced. I can wash and wax any day, I want some new stuff to do.
I will not black out my grill surround, I think it looks goood with the grey, mabe some suede interior but definatley not the headliner or the pillars, maybe just the door cards.

[njm23]

i tried..

"It's better to say you tried then to say you never tried at all."

[Squarrl]

Rieger RS4 not OEM RS4

[njm23]

i think i got it, how about a short shifter like the jhm peice or could always go the ebay route, have heard good things and I have one. No complaints, although it could be a bit tighter, but i mean it isn't a $220 peice so..

[audiluxary]

Rieger Rs4 bumper.

[AudiA4_20T]

looks damn good

[audiluxary]

unfortunatley I am one of those TIP guys so that will not do, anything else? You keep coming with more and more shit.

[audiluxary]

AudiA4 20T, I see you have W/M injection. How is that and is it worth it? Now that is one thing I would like to add if it is worth the money. Look at that all you did was add your 2 cents and BAM, I saw somthing I liked.

[speedydragon]

I'm TIP too. go GTRS with me haha

[audiluxary]

Oh, big plans when I get back from deployment, but what now?

[speedydragon]

Brakes?

definitely one of my favorite mods. Not cheap by any means once you get the bells and whistles, but made my little k03 pull a whole lot harder

Good luck on your tour man, I really appreciate it. I have 2 cousins that have been to iraq and a third thats there right now

[audiluxary]

^ Thanks appreciate it. What kit did you end up getting and did you install it or have a shop install it? Thanks

[audiluxary]

Brakes is a good one, I am going to look into upgrading, thanks. I see you have a VIS CF hood, how does it fit and how is it holding up? I would like to get into the CF scene. A CF hood would look tits on my car.

lol did it myself of course, just like everything else. Id recommend getting a Stage2 Snow Performance MAP W/M kit. Your going to love it. Id say for like $600 youd have a solid setup

The fit is OEM; it's perfect fitment.

i got the godspeed one too. how did you get black couplers? i asked for them on mine but they sent me blue. also they sent me a 27X7X2.5 core as oppesed to the 27X6X2.5 that was advertised, im not complaining about that one tho.


do the a8 rotor/tt carrier in the front. your in socal so you can get it from purems

also my friend bought a vis csl trunk for his b6, and the quality just doesnt look that great imo. there are imperfections all over it

I received the blue ones, but would not have gone with my car at all so I ordered some new black ones to flow with the car.

I will look into that, do you have them?

So VIS is not the highest quality by far then, but is it worth the money because they are not that expensive.

Oh fun will come when I get home from deployment because I will have more time off of work and plenty of $ to drop on it, just have to find out the best route to go.

[speedydragon]

I like my VIS alot. I'd take some pics for you, but it's like 5 years old now, so there are rock chips all over it haha
