Started prepping the awd control arms for bushings and paint. Working on the rear subframe later tonight.

Well I'm intrigued. Also lol at buying an old Audi for a dd.

[mrg7243]

So I wrecked my audi now I need a car. So the plan is dump a ton of money into this project to get bare minimal dd status.



Prepping the bay for paint and primer.



spherical rear toe arms.



Cams and Jdm 3 bar map sensor

Ams 880cc injectors. Basically rebranded pte injectors.




New core support and mishimoto evo 5 radiator. Since there is very little aftermarket support for this car I have to adapt other model parts to it. The evo 5 radiator top outlet is 8 inches to the left which places it closer to the inlet on the head.



But it can't be just a bolt in affair. Not sure whether I am having the pegs moved or making new mounts on the core support.



Porting out the head. Gasket matching the intake, smoothing the ports, removing the sharp lips near the valve seat, and all that jazz.



This is only the first pass with 80 grit.



Also knife edging the divider this port still needs some work before the final grits.

Hi

I've heard its *almost* impossible to do a USDM vr4 swap. Like only 2 people have done it. Plenty of people swap the evo 8 head and boost it though along with a 5 speed swap

Really?? Man I thought I was one of the first.























They have been no successful vr4 swaps being it costs more to do that than to buy a real vr4 and grey market it in here.
