There is a water drainage hole in the battery area. Make sure you have drainage. I would have done a rubberized coating after painting.

We used seam sealer after welding but I'm pretty sure early models don't have battery tray drains. So I might just drill a hole in the new metal I put in. (Open to suggestions on other methods)

However, I found one or hopefully all of the leaks for the battery tray. the gas cap lock was not sealed so I filled it with rtv and its unnoticeable which is nice.

Ok bought a $12 eBay chip and now my car has a smoother power band and revs to 5300 rpm and doesn't breath out top end anymore. The only thing is I blew my power steering and water pump belts on the freeway testing it. So now I gotta order new belts yay!

I used continental belts which I've heard have been breaking a lot recently anyone have a better brand they know of?


Had to tow her home last night.

Ive never had a problem with conti belts. Are you sure you arent over tightening them?

[Allrad]

Conti belts are the only belts that we use at my job. nice build by the way.

New 370mm mtech1 wheel from tom64. Really nice guy and gave me a great deal on it. Also put in the center consol which makes the interior come together nicely. and have Cosmo coil overs coming.
