im on both daily, just really hard to find a car i wanna invest money in.

[loxxrider]

hmmm thats lame. I'll definitely keep an eye out for ya.

[loxxrider]

anyone know where to get a spherical bearing I can mount on top of this spacer I'm making? (aka camber plate style)

[BMWerke]

No i dont.....but ur pics are epic...keep up the work

[BadSeed]

First off, love it. 'Specially the wheels.

But the first picture, the lightning in the background is sooo tight!

[magoo_lc1]

love those old audis, sick ride

[loxxrider]

Thanks guys, 'preciate all the love.

I'm thinking of stripping the wheels down because the paint on some of them is a little funky. I like a regular metal finish (cleared over) like a stock alloy would look on a porsche...OR I could maybe go pearl white on the centers and keep the lips polished. Thats always what I've wanted to do with a nice set of RS's or something similar on this car.

Suggestions are welcomed.

Anyway, I have a few things in mind for the winter break. Its mostly maintenance related though.

First up, roof rack. Pics will be up after x-mas day

second up hitch...so I can tow my Whaler and or a trailer for hauling stuff

most importantly, I have to do a new timing belt, idler, water pump, crank cog (thats $100 by itself ) and probably a new (adjustable) cam gear because mine seems to wobble a bit and it bothers me...plus, I can make some use out of it later. While I'm in there, I'll throw in a set of cams that are for the NA version of this engine. That will provide for a nice top end boost with the stock and any bigger turbo.

I'll also order a new upper intercooler hose so I dont have to fix boost leaks every other time I drive the car.

Need to get oil lines for the big turbo, and some flanges for it too.

[sparkyvw]

you already no i love it. Now hurry up with that turbo!!!

[loxxrider]

Hell yeah, what up sparky. Make a build thread for yours!

[loxxrider]

I actually just ordered oil line parts and now I just need a few more of those. I just took some other money out of the bank to do the timing belt and maybe my dream intercooler setup with hargetts.

[loxxrider]

So as of right now the car isn't moving an inch. Its getting towed up to my buddy's shop so we can do the timing belt, water pump, rollers, new crank and cam seals, new belts, coolant flush, t-stat, and some new cams.

The reason for all of this



Its unbelievable that the belt looked perfectly fine a few weeks ago. I even had a few friends look at it with me for a second opinion. Its 20k miles under the recommended service interval, but I'm not sure how old it is. I'll have to look in the records.

I'm just glad the damn thing hasn't slipped off. SCARY STUFF.

On the bright side, I did get the roof rack on.







and I got some of the oil line stuff in

All black push-lock and AN fittings (will not have that blue anodized piece)



Still haven't done anything regarding the suspension spacers. Can't do anything till I find a good source for spherical bearings that I can mount to them. Then I can get the car on its nuts. Its as low as it can go in the front in the pics above. The back can go down more than enough
