Time for more tools!

Yeah I looked into renting one of these as I would prob never use it again, but advanced autoparts didn't even know what a engine support bar was lol.

Use a block of wood before your ramps. Worked for me last weekend

Yeah I thought about this while in somewhat panic, but didn't use the wood I had laying around. I ending up putting my ramps under the back tires so if the front stand failed it wouldn't ruin the rockers too bad. Ending up jacking the bit after the pinch weld (even tho theres like no room, then slide the jack stand out and lowered to the rear ramps) then I said heck it last night.

I have the Megan Racing low profile two piece ramps. Drive up on them. Set the parking brake. Jack the front under the dogbone. Remove the ramp tailpieces and put jack stands under the pinch weld jack points. I jack the rear to level using my trailer hitch, but there's probably another option in the back as well.

Once the car is level and on the stands, lower the engine/transmission using a jack under the "bellhousing" to fit the mounts.

This is prob my best solution, or the engine support bar. I would most likely use the ramps more often as the rhino ramps arn't low enough anymore. Maybe i'll just grab the support bar so i dont have to take my street shield off and could work all from the top. Ah

All this wouldnt be an issue is the local shops didn't want 600$ for the engine mount/ trans insert lol. To be continued.

Made both the white Start/Stop and amber Mode button lights red.

The Start/Stop is just transparent red vinyl on the underside of the button. Very easy, took maybe 5 minutes.

The Mode button is a complete LED replacement. I took the buttons out and unclipped the bottom to get to the circuit board and the LED. I then found a suitable replacement (Wurth Elektronik 150141RS63140) and brought it to a computer repair store for soldering since I can't work on anything that small.

Threw these babies on. Picked em up from a forum member last week.

Got it ready for the PCC Audi Club season opener this weekend at Summit Point WV. It's going to snow Sat. WTF?

Fuel for USD9.05/gallon. Doesn't sound so horrible if it's only 2.159Euro/Liter...

 

[VAG Parts Bin]

Cornflower Blue vinyl because I love CF blue but have a black R. I did the fender blade R logos and "hockey stick" swoops as well, but didn't take a pic 'cause the car is a filthy mess from the crappy weather we've been having.

Fuel for USD9.05/gallon. Doesn't sound so horrible if it's only 2.159Euro/Liter...

So about $8.17 gallon in Europe.

Cheers to a end of the day victory beer!

It’s runs and it’s out of here for now. Still two weeks till the tuning appointment so it’s gonna sit at his shop till then.

50 days & about $15,000 later. We’ve got more stuff on the to do list once it get back from the tuner, but that’ll be a lot easier just driving it in next time.

Another project is already in the shop and Mk7 stuff coming next week as well.

That middle piece in the bumper needs to be cut.

Cheap crossbars = box drip…?

Coiled down the front another 3/8” and also diy camber matched the rears till I get the ride height fully selected and get it to the alignment wiz.
