Geoff is bored, so here's a timeline....running. 56k grab a drink.

I hate you both LOL

J/K Looking good Geoff and Matt

can't wait to see them at Vag this year

[.Mad Hatter.]

Wait...you guys know that's not Matt's car right? That's my buddy Gerald with the stage 3 S4. lol.

[OntITTech]

I had wondered what was with the FMIC Pipe on Gerald's. Its way too early on a Monday Morning LOL

He needs to change his name to "sole" permanently

Hey Geoff, I came across a DIY for replacing the driveshaft support bearing a couple weeks ago. The write up is floating around somewhere, and could have maybe been on the B5 S4 section of Audizine. I'm going to try to search it for you. There was a technique they used to separate the 2 halves, and getting the driveshaft out should be easy for you. This will save you a couple dollars, and 034 has an upgraded support.

I found that too...problem is the bearing is like $135 shipped to me, then about 4 hours of my time, then it still needs to be balanced and that U-joint should be replaced. The $350 quote I got for all of that (he is also suppying the hanger bearing) seems more bang for the buck.

looks soooo good in that pic

Oh dang, looks so good. Get your brother's some bumper grills!

Lmao yo Geoff... You're filipino!? FUUUUUUUUUUUU

[99.5blacka4]

I wanna know what made your parents pick Gerald. No it's not a bad name and were cool as **** to hang with... But a Filipino names Gerald?

TBH I have no idea... But my Dads name is Gonzalo, my two brothers name are Grecco and Gregor. So I guess there's a theme going on lol

[.Mad Hatter.]

...and then there's Geoff.

...and then there's Geoff.

G-G-G-G-G-G-G UNIIIIITTTT

You know how you sort of get used to things? I had my car aligned today and luckily nothing was too out of whack. I'm running -1.8* up front and -2.1* in the rear...very conservative. However. I thought afterward that my car was sitting weird so I decided to take some GTF measurements (it wasn't sitting weird, FWIW).

22.75" up front and 23" in the rear...not bad for 18s.

...I was starting to think it looked too high...

Same. Mine came today but I probably won't get to them until next weekend.

The catch can and bay ish is all done. catch can isn't as clean as I would have liked it, but it's done, and it's hidden under the cover.

Any change you want to post up the part number of that right side engine cover? I want.

[.Mad Hatter.]

Sure, I will post it up when I get home tonight.

Hey man how's the eurokracy show? Are you going?

[.Mad Hatter.]

Yup we're going. Last year was the first year...and it rained...but it was definitely worth the trip. There were a lot of NY cars there and a good showing in general. The setup is cool too. The roads...are ****. I mean REALLY ****. But they had a dyno, burnout comp. etc. so lot's to see.

I ordered stern engine, tranny, and snub mounts yesterday. I have a weird vibration in my pedals/seat and it didn't go away with the control arms/tie rods/alignment. I had the front wheels re-balanced and am going to do the rears tomorrow (HOPEFULLY that's the case). The only thing left is the driveshaft hanger so if that doesn't solve it I'm driving the car off a cliff.

May be makin the trip up north have to see how work looks

Can I trade you seats before you drive off a cliff? Shame to let a beautiful set of sport seats to meet an unfortunate end

[MarcMiller]

Vibration..? You should drive my car geoff...

[.Mad Hatter.]

haha, it mostly bugs me because I don't know what it is...if I did at least I would peace of mind

Every time i start my car i hear noises that i have no idea what they are. I honesty just stopped caring until it breaks. Its never ending.

[.Mad Hatter.]

Ya, I can't deal with that though. It's sort of humming at idle too (sounds like metal spinning on metal)...it doesn't increase with engine speed. Hopefully my motor mounts have just sheered in half or something...at least I'm already replacing those, lol.

[MarcMiller]

All my motor mounts are shot. I don't even know what kind to buy or where to buy them. I don't have any power so stock should be good..even slightly better than stock ones will work.

[.Mad Hatter.]

Also, I just pulled my pancake valve out of the TIP and sure enough, brand new valve and all...there is still oil in there. It's staying out, stupid piece of ****. I will just put a filter on the outlet of my catch can.

Ok, let me pick your brain...explain the sensation you get when driving with blown mounts please.

[MarcMiller]

Well when i drive my shifter moves like crazy. Snub mounts been shredded into pieces held together with a zip tie since bobby did my tb last summer. Car sometimes jerks in-between shifts. I know i need tranny mounts bad.

[.Mad Hatter.]

Ya, seems like the typical stuff. I will sell you my 034 tranny mounts if you want. I bought new ones just in case.

[gear]

My one mount is shot but I don't get vibration by when you let off after hard acceleration you can feel like the engine kick

[MarcMiller]

Hmm depends how much your looking to get. As of now i don't have much cash to buy it but i will deff if your not trying to sell it asap.
