Freesole's Q5 3.0T Build Thread

[Jimminez]

That was my first thought when I saw those pics yesterday @Jimminez

Cool 2/3 ecodes btw.

Stop it with the ecodes. I tried but my source (won't say names) didn't come through, so I'm off that train. #DOTspecFTW

Dealer also reset all my coding so need to go through all of that again too.

Oh, you've already cum caught more than just my tears.

I'm soliciting an invite for another round...

I'm soliciting an invite for another round...

Don't worry, in June you'll get your chance. But I wasn't referring to about not getting the ecodes.

[freesole]

You guys are hilarious... and so close to one another. Even without LM-R's you guys will be bros Haha!

Camber adjustment will come later when I have time to do the control arms :)

[rhite95]

Very sharp looking Q !!

I am thinking about picking up a lava grey SQ...

[freesole]

I know this is against the grain, but I think you can switch back to the standard fog grilles to tie the trim and wheels to the front. I swapped my main grille because of the grey, and haven't bothered to swap in the BO fogs because I think it works. It's less pronounced on my Florett though. Just my $0.02.

Yeah I hear you and agree that it would probably help tie into the rest of the silver/chrome in the car now. I think I might do that pretty soon. The plastidip work I did was not very good so when I get really sick of it, I'll just peel it off.

[Jimminez]

Camber adjustment will come later when I have time to do the control arms :)

To note, I have the 034 Motorsport control arms and the most negative camber I can get is ~ -1.9 to -2.0. They help bring it back to spec rather than give you the ability to go more negative. So I'd suggest go without like Mops did first to see if you like the angle as it might be enough since that is what he was running.

[riceboy22]

You basically just need to drop it lower and you'll get more negative camber lol.

Some more pictures today after treating the tires. Just love these LMRs

That's a great spot for pics!

[Jimminez]

Nice.

[tcm glx]

Looking great! How are you liking the 295s? Any issues at all? How about a rear shot to see the steam rollers?

[Mops@Nemesis]

Nice Kelvin. I hope you're enjoying them! I want to see a side profile.

The 295's have been great! I have been a fan of the Conti's since I first had them on my B8 A4. No rubbing while being at the heighest level on the KW HAS. Not sure what would happen with 295's if I lower further though! I'll try to get a rear shot soon when the weather clears up a bit!

it goes without saying I'm enjoying them! So happy with these man. I'll get some more side photos soon.

Remember how I asked you for a picture of the stock height on this setup. Looks like a little monster jeep. Also the sq5 plate on the caliper has a bolt that causes a little clearance issue. Barely fit a piece of paper in between. I used a dremel to grind down the bolt head conical to make sure the rim doesn't touch in turns when the rim flexes or caliper expands. The wife loves the wheels tho and wants me to lower it already.

Man that is very tight! I definitely had more room on my 3.0 with the 12mm spacers. Glad to hear that you found a solution though. The wheels look great on your Ibis white!

Haha, sorry, I didn't have any pictures at stock height! But I agree with your wife, let's see this lowered

Definitely, after I compared pics and measurements. So lucky they clear with that much space. I was going to lower anyways. But now I have much more reason to lower it. KW HAS is the way I'm gonna go. I would have left the stocks on but with the wife driving it, I'd rather had peace of mind having A/S instead of summers.

PSS10? Or are you going to use the cash to buy some ecodes?

@davidk890, that's a great set of winter wheels. It will look perfect at the proper ride height!

@freesole, since this is your thread, I'll say again that the LM-Rs are perfect on your car. So jelly. I "need" a set of nice aftermarket 21s now LOL.

[Jimminez]

@riceboy22 - Nope, V2s. Considered both though and I had a good experience with them on my wagon.

Will do.

[cmoore86]

@riceboy22 - Nope, V2s. Considered both though and I had a good experience with them on my wagon.

I went with V2's last week to replace my HAS as well. Much happier now. PSS10 just didnt offer enough lowering.

@freesole...man those wheels look good on your Q. The contrast against the color of your Q is perfect. I bet they look even better in person than in the pics.

Thanks guys. You both have / will soon have amazing looking wheels. I'm just as jelly of your TE37's and BF's Funnily enough, I was highly considering both. The TE37's were too long a wait time and the BF's were way too rich for me haha!

Killing it with those two pics. Next years calendar submission.

[freesole]

Thanks Martin, it would be fun to get the two Q's together for a calendar submission one day!

[jaboki]

@freesole Man, these wheels were made for your setup. One day, I hope to have something that ties together as well as yours!

[freesole]

Thanks - Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the KW SC! I'm considering coilovers now as well to see if I can tighten things up over the KW HAS that I have on already.
