Nice fucking ride!!!!

Love the 5V Audi Motor!

Jens, hit me back bro................. we gotta talk about a few things

hey nice car... I love the tunna cans lol, ive tryed my self but here dosent seam to be the correct size... im still looking for ones

the standart tuna cans are a little too big in diameter, i used some self glueing foam tape on the inside of the can to make it fit.

love the ^ pic . wish it wasnt blurry tho :(

i only have my cellphone to take pics :-(
still saving every penny....

we have the same pic... issue :-( in about 1 week ill recive my 7 mega pixels cam :D cant wait !

poor jens :(

yo, since i am so poor!

it was time to do stuff on my own again....
i just couldnt find someone to shorten my driveshaft so i did it myself!

first i took the driveshaft out after borrowing the special keys from a buddy



got the tools ready




cutted the shaft and grinded it down 7mm



grinded an angle on it for better welding penetration (angle was a bt steep though)




fabbed up a tool to clamp the shaft straght




over to the welding table




first layer welded,needs to cool down before turning around...
i got a pen that melts at 150 degrees used to check temperature before welding again.
i used wet cloths to cool the rubber boot, dont cool the shaft down fast-it s gong to be way too hard and will crack like glass

i cutted the spot where i tacked t frst up agan and grndet a small v-shape to weld over again.




grinded down the jont to check for pores, there have been none


i sprayed it again wth rust protect and mounted it on the car

that looks very good nice style you did your job

i had a blast on the weekend and had everyone who helped me building my car driving her on a backroad, i wish i had taken some pics of the smiling faces of everyone :redface:

the photoshoot









the resume of the summer, 1 small fire when the edge of the carbon dash wore down the insulation on a elektric cable , battery has gone bad, my drivers side doorhandle dont want to open anymore due to a adjustment problem (i cant fix it myself my fingers are to fat :mad: )otherwise no mechanical issiues after more than 8000 km´s :thumbup:
we will see when have cash again after my USA vacation to get the engine worked and my aspired 300hp :screwy:

cant wait to go home & see more pics!!!

updates!
i finally got around to drive to my granny´s place last weekend, was relived hen i opened the garage and my car was still there!
i popped the hood and took my intake manifold of to test the one i got from aaron(speeding-g60)
check out the difference


seems like i need to get an adapter...


even the fuel rail fits

shines up the engine bay quite a bit


need some fittings and stuff and i should be good to go...

news from my project!!!!
everyone who read my thread noticed the manifold i got from ,speeding-g60,in oregon.

my tuning shop said that in my regions of boost the tubular manifold will give me a bad idle.

work has to be done!
the custom manifold had to be revised :
marked up!

the flange that was on the manifold was for a mustang gt and not the same bolt cycle as my 1.8t throttle body, so i got a co-worker make me a adapterplate....




i didnt want to have a flat plate on the manifold since it would be to plain/easy..
my welder "kurt" did it´s best to get the best possible result from the pre used and oil inflicted aluminum, the bad ground dintn help either..




the result of half a days work




i tryed to polish the manifold but i didnt had the right tools so i ended up with this




better than expected but not good enough.i need to get the mani polished.


as you can see the diameter is decreased by about 16% which was the guideline of the aircondition engineer that i consulted while planning.

sometimes it´s good to work @ a shipyard.....

nice jens :)

lets get that manifold over here sometime soon ;)

Just grind the welds down and polish it, and it'll look great!

impressive,..

looks good :thumbup:

hello everyone!

i went to berlin by plane this tme and took the train to my grandmas place, first time in ages not with a car...

mounted everything in the engine bay again and hoped that there is some juice in the battery left to open my doors after 7 months of storage...

it was :thumbup:
even better the car started right up again, no problem :D :wow:
i didnt expect that at all after this long time and a record winter in germany
woot woot

i took the car for a spn and the accelleration scared the crap out of me after 7 months in my mk4 2.0/8v :D

i drove the car to berlin and took out some cash


this is for cleaning up the engine bay and rerouting the cables,mounting the differential and a longer 5th gear.
all this is going to be done by a shop, since i need to work for more cash :rolleyes:
i hope everything is done on time for when chromosexual is coming to visit europe in may :thumbup:

i took this pic of my car in berlin, updates from the shop comming soon

cant wait to see this car in person :)

that's alot of cash

partially invested in
carbon fiber parts








much more parts are on their way :D

Almost €3000,- ;)

i counted it too ;)

:D

your front grill is no carbon fiber

it's only carbon fiber look

thank you for that info but i knew that.
