a little crusty on one side, nothing some por cant slow down for a few more years.

You said a while back it was poking through right? Scrape everything you can and let it soak in real good

And junk, I went through and watched all the videos in that photo bucket playlist lol

its still solid, just rust coated around the seam.

Its public so anybody can blow time there but no re-posting please! Shabby entertainment unless you're a car guy. I've had some fun stuff, man.

The good stuff:

I always enjoy jacking from the front subframe and then using the drip edge for jackstands. All the 3800 cars I've ever done that to.. the car flexes a lot. The Audi really doesn't flex from what I've seen so far.

Almost got to buy a new car (volume up, you can hear contents of vehicle moving forward).....

ABS is currently disabled and I didn't make 'em tires screech.

day 2, no oil drips under the car.

Lol feels good man. I'm counting days too. Day 2 and no leaks in the exhaust

I finished gathering the rest of the parts needed for my new cam

And i also found out that my trans fluid is more clutch material than fluid lol

Then what in the world are you doing modding? Lol

He wants to make sure the trans dies haha.

Today I jacked the car up and checked for play in suspected bad wheel bearing. Its still tight so thats good.

His next mod is gonna be an expensive one.

But the most fun of all

Parked it and rode in an 08 Civic all day. It was nice.

Got some good logging done today. Also did some 0-60 runs. Uvscanner makes it pretty easy to get some very accurate times. Best was a 6.2. Average of 4 runs was 6.42. Before the swap on same crappy tires best I could get was a little over 8 seconds using TorquePro to log. Funny because before I could floor it from a dead stop and not have to worry about tire spin much. Now I gotta figure out how to get a good launch and I think I can get into the 5's Not shabby for a grocery getter.

Drove drove and drove.
