Gorgeous wheels Jesse! The white color looks great with the red body. I would love to put white Advan RG2's or RS's on my car.

Hey Casey nice paint job, I like the blue

Kevin,
Whats up with the front bumper. Nice kit but the front bumper reminds me of megatron. Yea I was at Makitos shop and he was having a hard time fitting the bumper. But the rest of the kit is coming out nice.
Later Rob.

Cool, that is the next project on my list. I am thinking I will have to customize my own so that it fits like I want it to.

So today ended up changing my spark plugs and changing my oil in call today. It feels good to know fresh parts are running the car. Also on a side note my Service manger told me to sign up for apprentice program through my school so that way I can get hired as a Audi tech. Deep down I want to be a rotary tech who cares about Audi's lol

Haha Travis. I didn't know you were in school. Between that and work, you must be busy.

I haven't changed my spark plugs since my rebuild 38,000 miles ago.

I change mine with my oil...


probably more often than needed, but spark plugs are cheap.

I spent $90 in total spark plugs were $39 after shipping oil and filter were $60..so yeah my math is wrong but every oil change is way too often. by the book that's every 2500 miles

I'm willing to bet that every 38,000 miles is a little too long to go without swapping plugs though.

My schedule is pretty hit and miss. Some weeks I'll have 35 hours at work, other weeks its 9 hours.

Next weekend, May 29th, I have the entire day free if you want to get together. I'm also off Friday until work starting at 7pm.

Here is the results.
what your looking at is:
99 engine with 91 octain
01 engine with 91 octain, no VVT
01 engine with 91 octain with VVT active.
01 engine with E85 and with VVT active.

(VVT is Variable Valve Timming)

Nice looks like the E85 is the best bet but why is you torque so jumpy? It starts out good then goes up and down until 5500 where it's best. I thought touque was way smoother than that as it builds power.

I would love to do a dyno now.

Some up dates. I had to customized the fuel filler area, had to do some welding and make a support brace. It came out nice and now the fuel filler door bolts to it perfectly . More to come, good progress is now being made.
