The Frankenturbo B5 Progress Thread

Ok so I finally got my HID kit in the mail yesterday only to find out that one of the connectors is broken. I don't know what it's called but its broken clean off and the peice wasn't in the box, which makes me think it was damaged before shipping, which has me angry. I filed a claim with DDM but haven't gotten a response yet. I will call them Monday. The kit was a 55w 5000k slim ballast kit. Here is a picture of the damage.


Also, don't forget to vote for me in the Streets Are Life contest on facebook! I got a late start so I need to catch up!

Never saw this, thank you!

Finally sold my Mustang on Sunday. Turned around and ordered a bunch of parts for the family sedan yesterday! Also plan on lowering it back down some this week, not too much though.

I ordered:
Clutchmasters FX300 with the Fibertuff material w/240mm LWFW
JHM Trio Short Shifter package (normal height)
JHM Weighted Stainless knob powdercoated Satin Black with the 5spd pattern red (1.44lbs, so excited!)
Apikol passenger side transmission mount, street density
Apikol snub mount
Redline MT90 75w-90 for the transmission
Redline diff fluid

I also have a magnetic drain plug to throw on the transmission.

All in all I am super excited to get all this done.

Work will be performed by Elite Motorsports on Long Island as I can't get my garage right now, wouldn't trust anyone else with my car.


After that's done next is brakes. I will probably be going with the A8/TT upgrade in the front and the A6 upgrade in the rear with stoptech pads, rotors, stainless lines, tyrol sport slider pins and some quality fluid. Also thinking about painting my calipers a dark red color. Then after that is new coils, hopefully Koni's as I really want something with dampening adjustment.

Car is for sale! Want to get into a b5 s4.

Think I'm going to keep the car. Already had two people show up with cash in hand and I just can't let it go, call me crazy. 2.7/6spd swap next summer?
