I will be tailgaiting for the OSU vs USC game for sure. Either at a bar or something...I'll be there early!!

[IVRINGS]

[QUOTE=jonathanh916;4063771]It went well. Took sat and Sun about 14 hours in all including trips to the store for breaker bar and other random items. It was a difficult job, but really more time consuming and a pain than hard to accomplish.

I can tell a significant improvement in speed. mainly in Turbo's spooling faster and it's much quicker off the line than before....at least it seems that way.

Buy the 17mm swivel ratchet wrench if doing DP's. There's no way we could have finished this project with out it. $15 from Lowes and worth every penney. I'd still be trying to get the top driver side bolt off if I didn't have this tool.


Also - if you plan on doing this don't waste your time or money buying the crappy clamps from autozone to replace the sleeves that hold the main cat to the exhaust pipe. you can buy the replacement sleeves online for $30 for both - sure more than $10 but well worth the money.[QUOTE]This is why I have from an 8mm-18mm

[jriddle11]

im no help there ill be out of town... but i am going to the USC game

Not going to the game, but friends have great tailgate so planning on going to it.

[jriddle11]

Just off 23 up north past Lewis Center Rd. If you pass the Speedway going north you pass my road. ;) I can't wait cause it is 3 weeks and 1 day...

My wife's family lives up that way. I bet I could stop by and lend a hand or atleast say hello. Let me know what day you are planning on doing the garage.

It keeps changing lol I might move everything into one garage and back after doing the floor. So playin' it by ear cause I think we are getting a db oven and dishwasher tonight eating up some extra coin.

[Bigswoll61]

I'll be at work for the OSU/USC game. Someone already booked vacation that weekend and no one has picked it up, so there's no way I can book it the same weekend.

Sucks...

Piggies DP's up front and I have 2.5 inch pipe from the main cats to the mufflers. Not sure what brand / style mufflers I have. Came with the car. They look pretty good and sound good as well. You don't see to many A6's with the quad tips.

[VR4-S4]

[Rajan147]

[OH_MY_S4]

I have been unplugged for a few months.

Any meet and gree dates coming up.

Life to meet other Audi-philes.

Tim

[IVRINGS]

Where in Ohio are you? I think some of us might be out at our new place sometime really soon. I don't want to meet people to put them to work, but Mike and some others I know I might hope show up to help. Otherwise it will be funny to watch me do it all myself.

[IVRINGS]

BTW I saw a Dark Blue B5 with some 8000K bulbs over off Lazale(sp)(Polaris area) getting some takeout around 8:30ish tonight.

bite your tongue!

[IVRINGS]

I was just talking to the B5 A4's, not the S4 bi-turboed cars that are very very sweet! ;)

[SilverBullets]

my turn to stalk... anyone here park their Silver B5 A4, with a Air Force sticker on the back, next to me at Urban Active tonight... i've seen it there a few times.. good looking car

[IVRINGS]

I'm guessing a lot of the B5 guys are in the dail up days like there cars.... Ooooo burn... j/king.

[OldYella]

Clutch on back order for a month

[IVRINGS]

What clutch did you get? I've heard great things from Clutchmasters ones.

[OldYella]

I bought the RS4 from ECS. When I ordered it it said nothing about being out of stock. I may have to just order it somewhere else.....or pray that the stock one can hold out for another month *crosses fingers*

[Rajan147]

i personally have had pretty bad experiences with ECS. I would rather buy from VAST, plus when VAST ships it usually gets here next day from MI-to-OH. See if they have it in stock.

What flywheel are you going with?

This thread needs some pics

Just resurfaced stock flywheel. Vast didnt seem to carry the stock RS4 clutch. I figured ECS would be fast considering theyre in Ohio. Guess not...


Also spotted a grey R8 in the short north today @ 6. Sounded real sexy.

[MYDWAGON]

Old Yella try Pure Motorsports.They're great to deal with.ECS has gone to shit

hmmm, thats strange, AWE would probably have it but it may cost a little more. Who is doing the install?

I've seen the grey R8 around OSU medcenter. Its a sexy beast

[OldYella]

Plan something for September, before school starts back.

[IVRINGS]

Well guys don't do it on the 26th cause that is my wedding! I will be killed for doing something on that day before the wedding. The girl is going to have her Bachelorette party on the 19th, and asked me if I wanted to have mine also that night so we don't have to sit at home alone. So anyone want to do a AZ party to send me off to get married on the night of the 19th?
