    Official Columbus Thread!

    Well we kinda had one going, but it wasn't Official if you know what I mean. Looks like the rain will be most of this whole week. So I think Thursday it is going to be clear if some people want to meet up, but I wouldn't beat on it just yet. I'm not sure what day I'm doing the wedding registry for yet another store, but I did tell the woman I would go to that. So anytime Thursday or Friday during the day I can meet up for whatever. I do need to get this key problem worked out with a vag com if someone wants to bring that.

    From what I saw this morning it is going to rain Wensday, Friday, Saturday, and maybe snow/rain mix Sunday... After that the iPhone doesn't go passed that. So Thursday would be good if you don't have to drive anywhere those other days.

    Good deal. Don't forget if you tell them that you are on VWvortex you get a parts discount if you have to buy parts. ;) I forget where you have to sign up...

    Have you been on OPlates.com trying different things. It took me a while to find something I want. I'm thinking of ordering a Euro plate from ebay with IV RINGS on it too. I don't think that I would put it on the car.

    Does anyone know someone with a Black 2.0T Quattro that was looking for tires yesterday? Had a custom plate that must only mean something to them. Let me know...

    OldYella I found your twin today! It was over by Mike's place at a Taco Bell, and I saw it with those stock wheels and the front tag really low on the front end. So I think that is the car me and Mike keep thinking is you. Also I saw a light Blue A4 with the S4 chrome grill lowered on TSW wheels at Wal-Mart off 23 North of 750. Also guys I switched up my profile name too to match everything since I'm so new it wouldn't matter.

    I would love to help, but time is very short for me, and I'm still learning the A4.

    Well the first time you see mine it is going to make you want to waste them. If you get the new plate don't you get a new sticker for the plate? I just hate that the newer plates are just flat and not a pressed look.

    Re: Official Columbus Thread!

    I'm probably not going to do it for another couple weekends but I've been working on my car ever since I got it 2 years ago so I know it pretty well. I just figured I could make some friends outside of work since i've only been here for 2 and a half months. I could get guys from work to help me but they are all either American Muscle freaks or Honda nerds and wouldn't appreciate the work as much as a fellow Audiziner. I work at Honda R&D in Marysville JFYI

    Sup Raj. Auto Assets has an AWD dyno? their website says they have a Dynojet 248X Chassis Dyno which is a 2 wheel dyno. I'm planning on getting the GIAC software upgrade there. That'd be cool if you helped too, I'll buy a case of bud light or something for the build, if we run out, walmart's right there lol

    i believe auto assests have a awd dyno, this was based off my research when i was looking to get my car dyno'ed before stage 3 but never got around to it.

    Are you worried about the warranty or what? You B7 guys can get about 290 ftlb of sweet low-down torque with an APR or REVO chip. It makes your car feel so much faster.

    ok, I need to call them about the upgrade anyway. I forgot, I also want to take some more metal out of the bumper support so it will fit better. Right now, it is hitting my FMIC on the passenger side. would a dremel be strong enough to cut through the aluminum? I'll need to pick one up

    I got my wheels back today that where stolen. It is just to bad that the car is not 5x100. Might put them on the girls GLI if I keep them. They need some TLC from when I had them still perect.

    I forgot to ask if you guys would like to go watch F&F4 on Friday night around 9:30ish at Rave Friday night? I have a few car guys going that night to see it. It is just going to be entertain fun I'm sure with everything. I don't want to be the last ones to get crapy seats so I will be there earily to try to save what I can just above mid level in the middle. ;) Let me know guys.

    can't make it.... but on the chip note, i am worried about the warranty... I get the car serviced at MAG and I feel like they are dicks there and won't be cool with it... I'm personally a huge fan of Byer's, but MAG a couple minutes away... I also worry about engine life... i mean I hear about people blowing DVs which isn't hard to replace but i also hear about blowing turbos.. which doesn't sound appealing

    Re: Official Columbus Thread!

    ^Just remember just cause you are chipped doesn't mean you have to drive like it. If you are driving the car more as a daily car you want to last just don't floor it to much and you should be fine. I know I'm going to be looking into chipping towards the end of the summer after I get the wedding stuff paid for.

    if you chip it, you'll be definetely driving the car harder, its just too addicting.

    Well I can't wait to see if it is before I do it. I'm sure it is going to be worth it bro. Just take your time and don't have @ss anything while you do it. Cause if you do I'm sure we are going to be redoing it later.

    My B7 is chipped. I had it done at Auto Assets. I can only put 92 octane or better in my car now. Love it though. Car hauls ass.

    Also, Byers is now a Stassis dealer. You can get your car chipped there and carry the factory warranty. It's pricey as hell though, like $1500. Where you'll be paying ~$650 at AA in Powell. But if you're concerned about possible damage, paying the extra money for piece of mind may not be a bad thing.

    Yea I always make sure to measure twice and cut once. I want everything to be perfect as it is my DD and I can't afford to have problems... Actually, I can rent cars from Honda for really cheap for up to 2 weeks at a time so I do have some backup.
