Went through this and cleaned up a lot of the broken links. If you feel like wasting your time go ahead and read how to waste a lot of time and money with a TT:beer:
And some more pics from after I lowered her
So small update. I tried to jack the car up by placing it on the tow hook area (where I normally do) and realized that the low pro jack won't lift high enough to get the jack stands under. Guess its time to try the hockey puck :sly:
I made these lifesavers back when I had the slammed mk3...
They work like a charm. The two step up makes it easy to use and lets you clear the lowest fronts. The top is just over 3.5 inches and the stopers are commonly used:laugh:
Not low enough :laugh:
Look at the picture of my car with my hand in front of my bumper. The reflection in the paint you can see the lip going into my garage. The driveway is sinking because of the stupid clay/limestone in Berks county. There is now a 2 1/2" lip
Believe me I'll build some good ones after this fiasco. And for the pucks ill figure out the placement later I really just need the front of the car up
Nice build thread, I started from the beginning, and when I saw the pics of the yellow S4, I thought, man that really looks familiar....You were in Chris' shop...my car's out there now...Nice work! :beer:
Thanks! Chris is my go to guy for parts and service (if it requires skills past mine). In fact he's the one who will be adapting my throttle body after I reassemble it. Which car is yours?
And that reminds me....I wanted to share this quote which has been stolen several times over and I believe originated as a facebook status:laugh:
"When you put your soul into a car it stops being a car and becomes a part of you. It speaks to you, you feel the car when you drive it and when it is put to rest at night you say good night to it. When you walk upon it in the morning you feel that car say good morning. This is what it means to build a car, to not just drive it because you have to but because you need to, because going to a therapist is for weak people. You take your problems out on the highway and you leave them there. Driving is your therapy. Wrenching is your cure, and this car is your greatest love."
:heart:
That and to keep the insulation on the wires from deteriorating more. The tape is aluminum skinned and reflects heat.
