[boost_addict]

what did you pay for your lights? there is a set on s2forum for 500euro.. thought it was a little high. maybe not?

[Hybrid_Hatch]

i never pay anything near retail. there was a set on ebay.de that went for 1200 euro. I paid 250 usd plus shipping from canada.

[Hybrid_Hatch]

Put a nice big hole in the block...

[GVZBORA]

ouch... know what happened?

[Hybrid_Hatch]

ouch... know what happened?

450+ ftlbs of torque at the crank with stock rods. That's what happened.

[Booha1]

Fixed my massive vacuum leak. Turned out that the OEM part is not available.

So, we went down to the local parts store, and found a generic Goodyear heater hose (part # 63068 in case anybody needs it) and installed it this evening in the pouring rain.

She purrs like a great big kitty now.

Furhter Cannibalized an 80 to make my 90 even better! Pulled the washer fluid lines since mine was busted on the passenger side, pulled the entire line and installed the new one only to find that I could have simply taken the passenger side line out of the T valve versus getting pissed in the freezing cold last night.

Also pulled the second headlight as a spare, and tried to repair my cruise control...which still isnt working, but hey I have a good cruise diaphragm now!

Ya that'll do it. sucks man

[vwtechscott]

Got it back from the painter
Can't wait to put it all back together!







I need to get some forever black for the bottom of the euro bumpers.......

[Harry Sax]

fired it back up with new manifold and piping and AWIC. in the interim i made a mess of things, changed some things, and redid the whole front end basically.

will dyno it as it sits for some data on the IM, then put the new turbo on it, dyno it, and put the dog-box together for it.

not too shabby for an email flash tune, i think, not that i or anyone involved with this knows anything about cars at all.

[Hybrid_Hatch]

here is what i did friday and saturday...











new engine:





new head, new valves, new seals, all fresh


uprated rods and pistons and new rings



if only the bearings and arp mains had come in it would have probably gotten put back in the bay today...

[vwtechscott]

Fit my bumpers, and put my car all together

[boost_addict]

what size turbo did you get aaron.. is it bigger then mine = i hope it is.


i had great success with precision turbo and their customer service.. i got both turbine and compressor wheels replaced as well as both housings. And a rebuild..

[Harry Sax]

i just gathered a couple more parts for the car.... little metal round thingys. and some tubey like thingys. when the goal is to be the quickest/fastest on the planet, well then some things need to be special.

was gonna make my own tubey dealies but sometimes its easier to buy built than build oneself. and they were a good deal, now to save up some money (read: hide it from the wifey) for another set.

but i think i am just going to move forward with the Wavetrac front diff order now, and who cares what wifey says about it!

and thats a bummer Dave.... BTDT with a window block.... it aint no fun.

[Narcoleptic_724]

Finally had a decent snow - melt - freeze - snow today. Took out the CQ to test it out with the Blizzaks. Found a parking lot that was all iced then snowed over...and I had to try very hard to lose controll...and wasn't very sucessful.

Fixed my cruise control switch. A couple months ago after I got the linkage and vacuum portions of the cruise system squared away the switch decided to stop working. I found a spare at the junkyard, but after following the 20v alternative diagnosis it appeared to be bad too. Unfortunately the diagnosis instructions kept mentioning having to replace the wiring, so I cut apart the wiring while disassembling my spare without thinking only to find that testing the leads right at the switch was giving me the same symptoms.

Fast forward to today and I've got the steering wheel off to replace it with a less used one and I decide to continue working on the cruise. While testing continuity again it hits me that the switch itself has the issue and not the wiring, so I tore my spare down further to find the circuit board to be corroded. After a quick scrub with the wire brush all tests are positive, so I repeated the repair on my original switch, without cutting the wires, and all circuits are reading correctly. I'm confident tomorrow my test drive will be successful. With how much I drive I will be extremely grateful to have cruise back.

After (with a layer of di-electric grease):

someone has a lot of catching up to do!!!!!! and thank heavens that email flash tuning exists... i wouldnt know where i would be if otherwise!

[rdwong]

my 90 20v quattro has been in the garage for the third week now....
t-belt, water pump, this and that. old thermastate was nearly in two pieces for some reason....
new rad, motor mounts...
got rid of air box, using K&N on custom maf adaptor. Gonna build heat shield.

Oh i snapped a sub front bolt..... Cudn't find any torque figures so I thought it's a 10.8 plus my mk4 asks for 100ft or smth.... So I decided lets start with 60ftlb...... and it snapped! son of a bitch....

Oh soon to come.... depo e-codes with bixenon! already in r some clear corners. Oh and yellow 100w fogs r on the way!

my 90 20v quattro !

post some pics

[chc-rado]

So mine power steering pump failed, cracked housing. I could not justified the price for ZF p.s. Pump. And that I converted to regular brake booster. I hated hydraulic brake system anyways. anyway, I retro fitted 10v p.s. Pump from 90q. It was free. I will use my skills to make it work. With 2 hrs modify and spacer and drilling into bracket and longer bolts. No more leaks.

Bought a 3b to stuff under the hood

[de80q]

Well I picked up a rieger B3 grill surround/brows. I decided to test fit it and see how it look. Im on the fence about it. I think it might go up for sale, so if any one is interested, let me know

[DeutschWerx503]

CLEAN LITTLE CAR FOR 260,000 handles great needs a drivers door dent repair that is all!!! LET ME KNOW WHAT YA THINK!

[boost_addict]

Fire in the Hole

[speeding-g6O]

so i was bored so we made something neat.

i had a Euro plate tub but i sent it to my good friend Chris (varia) as it was one of the final pieces he needed to complete his S2 clone. and he sent me his US spec rear tub in return.

rear license plate delete plate? because RACECAR!


also, while i was being bored, i decided to run the car up on the new lift, and practice some clutchless shifts with the new Dogbox trans. no boost piping on the car, so no boost just free flowing.

[Harzley]

Finally made some time to install the 034 injectors I picked up earlier this year. I really should have done a before and after drive, but jumped right in not having driven the car in a week or so. Still the new injectors feel really smooth both cruising around and full throttle. As I work out some of the other small issues I want to before driving the car regularly again I'll have to report back.

Only had 2 of 5 broken Hitachi injectors, but 2 of the good ones look like they've been replaced since the car hit the street 245k miles ago. Not bad all considering. If anyone wants a number of the good injectors shoot me an offer.



I noticed I'm in need of a new cylinder 3 plug wire and the rubber mounts for the pressure regulator were sheared off. If anyone has any leads for those items it would be much appreciated.

[de80q]

Well yesterday I finaly got the 80q on the lift. Took care of a lot of little things it needed. Fixed the exhaust(resonator blew out), welded the downpipe, got all my heatshields held back up, put on my g60s, repaired the rear brake line from master, replaced 2 of the tires, and ballanced the other 2. Now im going to install my crank sunroof panel and replace the gromets in the trunk for the wreing. Next weekend it will be time to pull out the tie rods and "unfreeze" them so I can get it aligned.

Finaly feel like I have done something to her

[Harzley]

Let's see.. I pulled the passenger knuckle, the driveshaft, rear differential bushing mount, and the shift linkage. I'll be pressing out bearings and bushings this week and hopefully getting it all back together next week.

[chc-rado]

Work on 20v sedan. Removed digital climatronic unit. GM hvac junk. I was going to b5 heater box, but scored b4 manual heater box with wire harness. Heater was blown, use all metal heater core made by bier. Fits Audi-VW b5 chassis. Box is in and wire harness connected. Now time to clean the carpet and charged the ac for summer.
