I'm down. Where and when?

[IVRINGS]

hmmm I don't know... What sounds good to you? I'm waiting to see if a local friend is working tomorrow to check out my A/C. I know today wasn't to warm, but at one point I need some A/C and it was blowing warm. We didn't drive much till she turned it off. I might need to drive around to db check it, but I think it is low. I'm off all day tomorrow. The woman goes in for her 2nd job around 9:30. I don't think having the A/C checked will take very long. I hope I can get them to pull a vac on it and let it sit to check it to see if it goes up at all. Do you want to do something around noon or little later?

[IVRINGS]

If I remember right you are down off Sawmill right? I'm over here at Polaris of either 71 or 23 cause I'm in the middle. We can do whatever so just let me know when you get around. I send you a PM with my number to just call me whenever or post up here.

[FrancoTheTanko]

cool beans. gotcha

[IVRINGS]

^It was nice to meet you today bro. I'm sure that you are glad to be able to shift a little better now. I'm glad that I know how much boost I'm pushing. I'm not to happy about the whole 9.5psi, but at least it sounds really good huh...

[FrancoTheTanko]

It does sound sweet! It was good to meet you too, let me know if you need any help with anything else

[IVRINGS]

I could use more money without having to work as much... What can you do about that?

[FrancoTheTanko]

there's always the option to whore yourself out lol

[IVRINGS]

Yea, but that can only last till after the wedding. I'm looking for something more long term with having to worry about the clap or whatever you know.

[FrancoTheTanko]

haha

[BOPOH]

this is great thread to read!! last time i tried to find some audi owners on AF i got no replies. seems like lots of people live near bethel area.

PS: im in USMC and stationed in SC right now, but i'll be coming back to OH soon

[IVRINGS]

Well I'm tryin' to push these guys out when I can. It just sucks that I'm working on the weekends all the time. Since I'm maybe about to take on a 2nd job to get more money for the wedding I might not be out much, but I'm online most of the time cause of my down time at work. Hit us up anytime you come up.

[Rajan147]

whens the next meet? I was out golfing this past Sat

[IVRINGS]

Well if there is anything on Thursday or Friday I'm down if something is not planed with the woman. I don't think I will be getting any more Saturdays off for a while cause I just had two back to back.

[FrancoTheTanko]

Well it's nice that it's light out until like 8:30 now. We could always meet up after work.

[IVRINGS]

^You could, but I work from 10-8 during the week. So I'm dead tired after work. If we have a meetting on Saturday I work from 8-8. :( Sunday's are to bad cause it is only noon till 6. So if it is during any of my time off just let me know... Kinda hard to understand, but 10 hour days blows.

[Rajan147]

Franco, lets take get that turbo installed!

[FrancoTheTanko]

Now I want to get the 71r instead. I'm waiting to hear from a guy at GIAC to see if a 71r will work with the injectors I bought. So it will probably be another couple weeks. I still need to get a "base" dyno run. And the transmission no longer grinds into 5th so I'm happy.

get it installed and we can make a few runs

[IVRINGS]

I think I talked him into the bigger one... hehe Just let me know what software you are going to run and injectors cause I might be doing the same thing if not GT30 or GT35 cause I like to go big or go home. I just want to see how many stock bottom end guys are running GT30's on low boost settings.

I've only heard of a few people running low boost on gt30's but never on a 35 though. I wouldn't trust any 1.8 bottom end with any boost from a 35 lol

[IVRINGS]

Yea I was thinking the same thing about the GT35. I guess time will tell what I do. Cause I know my T3/T04B out in the garage from the Cavy needs a big brother.

Dead tired after playing online poker all day...must be tough.

[IVRINGS]

Yep! That was only for 6 hours... Just think about how tired how I'm going to be after 10 hours today. :(

[IVRINGS]

Morning! Hey does anyone know of a local site that is for Ohio only? I found FATvdub or something like that yesterday, but doesn't seem all that active. Matt I asked someone last night in a PM about doing that TP install on CR, but I've not heard back yet. If we can try to check this post every few days or something. I'm on this most of the time due to the amount of my downtime at work.

[CyberPMG]

fatDUBS.com is mostly Northeast Ohio activity. For the Columbus area, check out OhioVW.com

[IVRINGS]

I'm on that under my old name for my J's for when I got some 16" for the the girls GLI for winter. Thanks.

[BOPOH]

nice i need to jump on these forums, maybe i'll find somebody parting out their cars

[IVRINGS]

Yes you do! We had a local mess up some nice wheels he is now going to be selling. I told him to check out this page to let us know what he does.

[BOPOH]

mess up wheel and selling them, or selling something else? last time a guy from Columbus was parting out his ENTIRE car, he was selling from body kit to window switches. too bad i was broke and only got his turbotimer

[IVRINGS]

Just wheels... He nailed a huge hole on 270. The wheels look nice on his B6 too. 19's that have good tires. I think he only wants $800 for them all. Just wants money for the tires he just put on them.

[BOPOH]

that's a nice looking audi!!

[CyberPMG]

I've got a set of OZ Vela II's that are 19x8.5" One barrel has a small crack and in much better shape than the ones above. Tires are 235/35/19 General Exclaim UHP tires with decent tread left. New, these went for $800 each. Whole thing (wheels and tires) can be yours for $700. Can deliver to you.

Pic on the car:


Details of the wheel can be viewed here: http://fatrings.smugmug.com/gallery/7814840_zJphZ

[IVRINGS]

That really is said that two sets of 19's are messed up so close to home. Both of you make me rethink about going to SSR 19's. I could put some run flats on them, but anyone that mounts tires know how much fun those are, and also the price of them are not to fun to pay for. I signed up for OhioVW, but I can't post or anything but look at things. So if anyone can send a PM to the right person to open me up over there let me know.

Frank - I heard about Honda this morning and wondered if you took any of those deals they where offering for people to walk away. I hope you still have a job or got a huge fat check.

[CyberPMG]

19s can work in Ohio. Mine lasted 3 years. The reason one cracked was due to a bad judgement on my part when driving on a road under construction. The road surface was stripped, but they didn't smooth out the transition from the stripped section to the regular road surface. I hit the edge too hard which resulted in the crack.

With 19s, you have to be more observant to the road conditions. You'll slow down more when encountering transitions (railroad crossings, driveway/parking lot entrances, speed bumps, etc.).

I'm still sticking with 19s for summer use. I now have a set of OZ Superleggera IIIs that are 19x9 all around.

pics or ban!

Trust me with my Cavy jumping up to 18's with the poke I had I drive the car like it was 1" off the ground cause it was about 2". I had to watch everything all the time. I know more of the roads I drive on everyday. My girl still doesn't understand I can remember where holes are, but that is just cause I care about my wheels.

[BOPOH]

did somebody mentioned pictures?? i got some 19" on my ride, Axis Matrix

[IVRINGS]

Nice! I so want to get me a set I'm going to post up all my stuff for sale for the cavy so I can maybe get the money for the honeymoon and maybe some car stuff.

[BOPOH]

lol good luck!! when i get something better for my car i usually give away replaced part, or trade it for something else

It will be a while. Car's in the shop for a few days getting work done to the front end. Had an argument in January with a tire that was lying in the middle of the road at night. Getting new front bumper and custom lower center grill. Should have it back Friday or Monday.
