Its a CPO, so no building for a while longer. Don’t really care too much about bench racing, not a B5 S4 owner afterall. The car I ‘raced’ thought he could sneak by and cut me off shortly after a light.
Get me a screen short of your ECU Id in Vag-com. I have already made a few good tunes for the R and the GTI. You know I’ll take care of you and I also need to look out for Meistah. He was on my list. Now that APR has the Me17 port flash this should be easier to do. The VW stuff is nice but, no thanks. This would be just for you guys.
Thanks crew, I did make that sound weird didn’t I. I was speaking more in terms of not stepping on toes. With the new system up and them moving on they tend to care less about older platforms or in this instance older systems. I don’t mean care less in a fashion where they don’t still care but, I think you get the point. Beem, I assume you have a 1k8 ECU. let me know. I’ll see what I can do.
Beem, we can do what I did to Chris’s GTI, I have a nice 02E3 tune as well
TBH, I doubt they give a damn anymore. It shows in the lack of support and updates for those older platforms. Even the MED17 files aren’t being updated other than the recent updates to a terrible K04 file.
got some Nokian Hakka 8’s on the stock wheels, awesome grip in the snow. they’ve gotta come off by 04/15, which means I’ll be doing some massaging of the fenders for these
BTW - I had the blendmount in my STi for a few years. Worked great. I’m just using the Escort suction cups for the time being in the RS4. Blendmount didn’t have an Audi compatible rearview mount at the time, so I bought a 12pack of UV protected suction cups off ebay that work perfect. They last about a year each…
nice, good to hear there is a good option. the temperature swings caused issues here, 70* one afternoon and 20* the next morning always caused it to fall off
double apex USB charger is in, very slick and easy install
added the blend mount conduit, needed some trimming to fit right
changed the oil for the first time (out of factory service period finally), VW did a great job designing things to make for a clean job. gonna get the ECS filter housing for the next oil change
going to get tint as soon as tint king’s Mk5/6 master gets back, apparently one of the few guys who can do the rear windows with one sheet. gonna go with F1 ceramic
tried to fit the SSRs, not even fucking close, tons of mexi-poke. got some 235/45/17 PSS’s. need to get them mounted soon as 4/15 is the cut off date for studded tires
ordered some fancy blue chrome tuner lugs for the stud conversion as I did not have cone seat lug nuts
hoping to find some yakima whispbars
just rolled 37k miles, another 26k before I can add fun parts, though depending on the cost of fuel I may be tempted to look for an RS4 by then
So got the SSRs on and did the 034 stud conversion at the same time. The 235/45/17 on a 8.5" wheel seems to be as big as you can go on an otherwise stock car, driven about 500 miles and had 2 small rubs from going over choppy pavement
