Not unless you donate wheels to me

I have some VW Jodas but theyre mounted with Monster truck tires(225,50s) and I wish I could trade but school prevents that. Best of luck! Awesome cars, and I love your wheel taste.

Not meaning to bump an old thread... but any updates?

As a matter of fact, yes!

Around the beginning of January I started talking with an old friend about a new job. Flew down to interview and by mid-february I had a new job, in South Carolina.

So right after Water by the Bridge I packed up my whole life, and moved down to SC to work at Audi Hilton Head.







Few days later I moved into an actual house that I have a permanent garage spot in



Just recently I took the passat to SoWo again, and as always had an absolute blast!





And finally after almost 6 years, I started tearing down my a4 as a 1.8t for the last time. Don't necessarily have an end date but I would love to have it running by Simply Clean in November.









So here I am, new job, new city, new life. Same old a4

Wait wait wait.... What do you mean "as a 1.8t for the last time"? This sounds promising I'm in.

Means I'm pulling the 1.8 and putting in my 4.2 finally

Well, if you end up missing boost, I would totally understand if you were to, I don't know... Accidentally turbo the 4.2 or something, I'm sure the internet wouldn't mind that much

[milwaukeeandy]

not sure how ive never come across your thread before, but glad i found it. and glad i got to see your pretty face at sowo

[DeltaAlpha9]

Yay for the 4.2 swap!

Mind if I ask what kind of job you landed at the dealer to pick up your life and move? That sounds awesome!

Been following this thread since the og days, I get my updates from IG now.

Well I've been struggling to become more than just a "bitch" service technician since I got out of auto school in 2010. This tech job at Audi is my more or less big break to become a well trained well paid Audi tech. Also the work load and hourly pay at this dealership was the
icing on the cake.

And I've decided that I want to try and start using forums more again, tired of instagram. Miss having big update posts on here and audizine and vortex.

I really want a B5 after seeing this, good work man 👍🏼

Looking forward to progress with the V8

Been a few weeks since my last update. Spent a week in Atlanta at Audi training, and now I'm certified to work on Audi's at the most basic level. But I'm certified, which is farther down a career path than I have ever been.

Anyways, the stuff that's actually important, V8 B5 update.

Pulled the 1.8t and trans. It's super nice to work on a simple Audi lol









No engine and trans, still lower than most people lol. Low life




And I tore the v8 down over the last week. Thing looks in excellent condition, so all I should have to do is clean, paint, powdercoat, and reassemble with many many dollars of fresh gaskets/parts.






I have since pulled the lower and upper pans to make sure everything looks good. Which it does.



Also I have been accumulating parts





And now I have a useless perfectly running 1.8t sitting in my garage, which is for sale.



Cheers!
