So much fighting…
Anyway. Jason usually spends a good bit of time on my car during weekends so hopefully the engine will be back in the car any day now. With any luck, perhaps tomorrow. I’m pretty sure he’s at the tail end of the very last thing to do before the motor goes back in.
You’re the one who posted a cryptic message calling someone a liar. Drama queen
Control your emotions or they will control you.
You make no sense. None.
Drats. Outwitted again by Sakimano.
You win.
We were waiting for a tap to come in on Friday. It came. J-Spec will start on that Monday (what I’m guessing, anyway) and then the engine can go back in the car. I’ll be surprised if we’re not ready to log at some point this week.
Onward and upward…
Well, I think the engine went back in today. I doubt it’s all hooked up and connected but it’s supposed to be in there. I believe three days makes for one full year. I have to guess initial logging and tuning will take place either this weekend or early next week. I wonder if I’ll have the car back to start driving again next weekend.
Okay, I believe the engine is actually going back in today and we may get to do a 3rd gear pull for logging this weekend. The completion of “phase 1” is pretty much right around the corner now.
It has been about a week, so. We’re not quite ready yet - but soon.
If I.was working on your car it would have been done in 2012. I hope it gets done before twothousandandfourteen.
Yeah. The engine isn’t in yet but I’m sure it will be soon. I think Jason is still working on one of the exhaust manifolds.
But you’re not fastestaw so it really doesn’t matter.
For the record FAW, you made a cute video but you don’t have a pass to post stupid crap again.
He doesn’t work on his own car so consider directing your comments to either:
A) Velocity Factor
B) Jnaut (also a member here)
C) all of the above
Bad FAW!
Yes!
If you have question, you can direct to me also.
What is the reason why this is taking so long?
Because b5 s4?
It is indeed Taking forever but that seems to happen. Look at tweetss4estate. Vast had his car for ages. Then blew it up. Then rebuilt it. Then blew it up again. Then it got sent to amd for six months to a year. Then tweets got it back. Then blew it up within a a week. Then it got sent back to amd. That was almost a year ago. He is still waiting.
The whole b5 scene and built motor scene for any audi moves at a snails pace
This is just my opinion;
I think the shop building it, probably put it back together, then realized that they broke something in the process of butting it back together.
If you aren’t familiar with the s4, it will appear to be a difficult car to work on. If I had the job of bolting parts on that s4, I could have had it done in a week. I’m pretty sure the shop building it is taking advantage of the owner. They are probably going to say that their shop is also real busy.
Excuses, excuses. The shop probably has incompetent mechanics working on the car.
Just my opinion.
I don’t think thats a good reason for this build to go so slow. Since he brought his car in to the shop I did my RS6-R build, blew up…got a new block, rebuilt, got new turbos and broke my car again due to motor builder incompetence. The car failed on Saturday(crank bolt came out and smashed all valves) and I’m hoping for it to be on the road tomorrow (final bolts coming in today!). Been a crazy battle, but as a weekend MeKanIk (working 40+ hrs a week), i feel that the pace of this build is either due to money or laziness of the shop. For some reason, money doesn’t seem like it is much of an issue.
That’s a bummer.
Why new turbos?
