What did you do to your .:R today?

[Basil Fawlty]

Installed my PSS9's, MadMax Rear Control Arms, and spacers 10mmF & 20mmR last week. This is how she sits!

Looks great Jonathan!

[UnNameDR32]

Thanks Chase. Hopefully I'll have a unibrace and different rear sway bar soon.

New OEM+ manual fan switch arrived.

Found out my battery had a bad cell and dropped a new one in.

To This;
(first pic have the miro's on so my TSW's didn't get oversprayed at shop...not quite Audi nimbus gray, not quite Porsche gray black but somewhere in the middle, minus any pearl or metallic whatsoever. I like it. Hope some of you do too)
(VW emblems matched to body, .:R emblems and tow hook matched to wheels. Trust me, it works)
Okay, so not all in one day but I haven't posted in a long while. Now for those caliper's

[ParkeR32]

Well..

I am wiring an Audi Fan Control Module into our appalling fan system so that the fans with be PWM instead of having to rely on the internal resistor that fails all the time.

The Audi controller has a spare input, so I can add a manual fan switch at 85% max speed to cool it in traffic if the a/c is off.

...you did ask..

That is a damn good idea.

I did? haha sounds good, nice find

[graeme86]

The wiring is a nightmare really...you need to keep the stock controller as well but the audi one takes over the fan speed control part....40% 50% 85% and 100% speeds available.

All worked out now though

Thanks I'm not sure about it either. although it's not as blatant in person, it was a little "quieter" with the black paint but it really stands out now. I'm thinking I'll paint that too, leaving the two thin strips where the hood rises exposed and then bury the whole thing in high build clear to get rid of the natural "warbles" in the carbon. Either that or tint it somewhat to mellow it out a bit.....that or wrap the roof in carbon pattern vinyl and just own that ish.

My clutch slave decided to dump brake fluid all over my 1 month old clutch. Trans comes out tomorrow to inspect the damage.

Ouch man, I feel your pain, I had a clutch in my car with only 24,000kms on it and the slave blew up and got fluid everywhere

Care to share a schematic? I'm pretty handy with electrical systems and have been thinking about doing something like that. Didn't know audi's used that technology - thought relays were a VAG wide thing.

This is a specific controller off an RS4 B5 (and some othe V6 Audis) with part number 8D0959501D

Here is the stock setup for info:

Replaced my front passenger side axle.

Tried unsuccessfully to locate the source of an intermittent sound coming from my front driver's side.

Drive like you stole it, car looks great! Color is awesome.

[drive like you stole it]

Thank you VDubbPeach! I've wanted to paint a car this color since I saw it on a TT Roadster when TT's were still a slight novelty!

seen 2 scion TCs with that paint job....

I've seen Audi TT's, Porsche GT3 RS' and Lamborghini Murcielago's with this similar color too. Wonder who copied who?

[betes]

Drove the crap out of it. Did my second autocross event.



Got a little wild on this one.

[drive like you stole it]

forgot a rearview with the new M3 style tails, plus I put the rear .:R emblem on now that the paints fully cured.............

[betes]

I like it. Real stealthy and low key.

Wasn't today, but I paid her off!
Did it the week of h2o

That's a great mod. I've had it for years now and I'm still not tired of it.

[Eleanor486]

I ordered the material that I needed today to make my own rear track arms (100% Chrome-moly). As soon as it comes in, I will be making a set (or two).[img]http://www.**********/09dh.jpg[/img][img]http://www.**********/09ht.jpg[/img][img]http://www.**********/09ax.jpg[/img][img]http://www.**********/09jh.jpg[/img][img]http://www.**********/09bh.jpg[/img]
