whats the deal with the strut mounts from 034, i dont even think they make more than 1 kind?

[fbm93]

i actually didnt have a chance to give them a call this week, but they seemed way too tall. i tryed to install them with everything else and couldnt get it together, not even close actually. bummed me out.

the 2 post bolts on the struts did not even come close to reaching the top metal part that has the upper control arms bolt up to. rubber just seemed too tall.

Looks like you pushed your abs sensor in to far and it was rubbing on the cv...ask me how I know

Mine was so smashed in there I had to hammer it with a chisel! That little rubber boot came off I didn't notice it so I just pushed it all the way in

Its my birthday. Woo! The big 21.

The gf got me a basket for my roof rack, cant wait to get it on.

[James Himself]

no more work to the a4, just drunk as a skunk

my abs light is on also from the last time i had a wheel bearing done, the guy said the sensor was heat welded in and it probably broke coming out ive just ignored the light. abs still works though

Happy belated bday dude mine was the 14th, cant wait to see the basket rack on!

[goody6691]

dont sell your front sway, just trim your skidplate to fit around it. thats what i did with my panzer plate

thanks man happy bday to you!

And i would just trim the skid plate but i have the panzer with home made hardware for it so it sits a little higher up. The ends of my stock bar basically almost reast on the plate. I dont know how i could really even make the hotchkis fit. The bar itself lays on the plate all the way across. But it is in the classifieds now so i can get my wheel project going.

[fbm93]

Dustoff! Get ready for a pic update very soon.

[fbm93]

heres some of my favs from dustoff today.
not much there for b5's. couple of s4's couple nicer a4's and handful of not so nice beater a4's.

ill have more of other cars when i have time to go through them all.

Well I bought wheels about a month ago but havent had the money to get things going. I have to make a car payment then thigs will get start with the wheels for sure.

[fbm93]

and.....i have an exhaust leak. awesome.

this will push back me getting the wheels on i believe. if i go the route im thinking that is.

[fbm93]

found my exhaust leak. Right after the downpipe there is a clamp thats rotted out. Hope to get that fixed soon.

And im changing my rear diff fluid as we speak...it sucks. I gots no hand pump to get that **** in there.

[fbm93]

should be making an appointment for the 13th.

[colinisneat]

That's actually a pretty sweet video and I love how they synced that one guy with the song so he was singing it hahaha. Can't wait to see some pictures!!

[fbm93]

haha I thought so too..song was kinda catchy

and Ive been tryin to get on my girls ass to finish editing her pics...both been super busy with school work lately.

[d90dublady]

UGGGHHHHH just posted all of the pictures up...took me about two hours to do and vortex said i had to log back in because it had been too long...needless to say i lost all of my work. So pictures wont be up for a little while. I am going to pull my hair out.

[fbm93]

Thank you for the effort Hannahhh

[d90dublady]

PICTURES FINALLY!

[fbm93]

And thank you Hannah.

Now for what should have been put together today. Exhaust shop called me back after I dropped the car off and said they couldnt do my exhaust. Have to look for a different shop tomarro.



And one from last night when going out to my car at school.

[thepirate]

Why couldnt they do it?

That Passat on the Land Rover wheels looks siiiiiiiiiiick!

[Awarof4]

Theres a big fine for removing the cat, take it off yoself and then get it done. $10k

[colinisneat]

Why couldnt they do it?

That Passat on the Land Rover wheels looks siiiiiiiiiiick!

I was just thinking the same thing!!!

[fbm93]

yah that passat was badass for sure.

they said the downpipe would take them awile and I wouldnt have my car till next Tuesday....I work weekends so yah I need my car. Gunna have to call around to some places today.

But they were fine with putting the testpipe in for me. It was a custom exhaust shop so I think they were a little easy on that stuff.

do you work in brockton MA
