Renrubicer: Skeletons In The Closet

[dtfd]

In general my wife just wants a new car with better bells and whistles that doesnt chug 93 octane, something easier to drive. Im still leaning toward an 17+ a3 quattro or a q5

Is she leaning toward a 17+ a3 or q5?

Or is she going to get another car and can keep those pesky opinions of hers to herself?

only time will tell!

It's only fair then that the house returns the favor and helps you get a car. Sell it and buy a nice blue MK6R!

mmm blue mk6r.... *drool*

There was a guy at Radwood with an absolutely prefect Corrado SLC silver, with black interior and 3.6 VR6 and a LSD. Nice BBS's too.

Long time yawn, minor updates only.

Neither the B5 nor the B8 have sold yet. No one wants to buy either for a lick over 10k and it just ain't worth selling them for that. So the prospect of me getting a blue MK6R is looking slim currently. All said, boy the B5 sure is fun. If i can address a couple of the remaining issues (rear calipers are siezed, small oil leak near the passenger downpipe, tune it to make 450whp, android auto headunit badly needed, summer tires/wheels) it may be a keeper.

Installed a JHM Weighted Knob in the B5 which seriously made a decent difference in shifting (its pretty heavy with the short shifters/upgraded synchro's). Other than that, no new B5 news except I re-died the black alacantara upper driver seat fabric and painted the Y-Pipe under the hood, did the front brakes recently.

The B8; I did a DSG flush with both the internal and external filters yesterday. It was a whole ordeal but long story short, its done but didn't make much of a difference. Shifts a little smoother (maybe) but still lurches pretty bad from a stop. Gonna see if my M8 can do an adaption/relearn on it to hope that helps, otherwise maybe it needs a mount/s, clutchpacks, or a mechatronic unit.

oh yeah and did rs4 grills on the b8, looks awesome

heres the new knob, upper seat, brakes and ypipe on the b5

didn't turn out fantastic, but sure beats light brown
