      I have some clear coat,but i never put it on cuz i thought it matched perfectly and wasn't necessary...never thought about it fading. Thanks for the tip.

      P.S. Got a clutch stop today...best 9$ i ever spent. Makes the world of difference in shifting.
      Ya you really shouldn't rotate tires, get a camber kit if tires are killing you. Taking your camber wore out rear tires and placing them upfront isn't exactly a great idea.

      I have a jiffy jar full of bolts, I paid 0 dollars and 0 cents for my clutch stop and it's at the perfect height. I dunno why you guys spend 10 dollars on clutch stops...

        yes i swapped clusters because with the 2.7i engine...you can rev past 6k no problem.


        And it was 9$! For the clutch stop. And i only have peanutbutter in my jiffy jar.

            Looking good. How hard (or easy) was the bumper swap?

                Little update: Almost have my turn signals working because of the bumper swap. I had to splice latemodel turn signal wires into my wires. I need a left turn signal housing though for it to get working properly. I also made some custom steel brackets for these recaros that i had sitting in the garage forever...that came with my camaro. Theyre awesome...just wish they werent sun faded like they are. Thinking of either spraying the door cards the brownish color to match. Also, found out that Ive been running in open loop for the last like 5 months. My o2 sensor was bad, replaced with another used one. So now im throwing no codes! no error! Whoot! Oh...and got a BMW sun Shade visor... to protect my crack free dash and recaros :)



                how scary does this look!A during the rip out of the old cracked dash.



                What comes next:
                Fix left turn signal.
                Put seatbelts with the recaros(dont have any right now)
                HID's. 5000k lows, 3000k yellow fogs. DDM kits
                orange Stealth bulbs for turn signals (they blink white right now haha)
                Fix sunroof (stuck closed)
                Build sub box.

                Hopefully i can do all this before i go back to school Aug 14th!
                Couple pics...

                          Cutting springs was a shortcut...it definately isnt the right way to get low, ask my fender well liners. I want coilovers...just dont wanna spend the money on it. Have dreams of either white S4 avant, or A3. Dont wanna break my savings for 1000+ dollars.

                            For your bumper tuck i noticed you said you cant get the back to stay in. if you drilled the shocks then push it in and drill again and then drive screws into the holes you drilled. = no more problems.

                            Looks good tho.
