JB weld that shit…
That’ll buff out!! :-*
I can get away with a new pinion/ring gear set and welding the case back together but I wanted to wait for JHM to see if they can find a spare case with the front diff.
I like what you did there.
Update: It runs, has fresh tags (not in this picture), and I am going to sort out the alignment tonight. I need to put on the trunk lid that I got for it either later today or tomorrow.

Can anybody see the front tire sticking out really far? My front camber and toe is really off with the bigger wheels/tires and adjustable suspension.
No idea to your question but congratulations, must be a great feeling!
yeah dude it looks like the opposite of camber…go to a VW meet and they will all cry
Looks good Jimmy, I’ve been working almost 80 hours a week, but we need to get together so I can hear this beast and go for ride!!
Any plans to get out to a meet? I’m not sure what goes on around these parts…lol
Nice to see it all buttoned up and running! Looking forward to hear some feedback regarding front LSD?
Well that is fixed now. The ride height is set at 25 1/8 inches from ground to fender and the alignment is really close to -1 degrees camber and 0 minutes toe. I need to play with the steering wheel a little bit since it is off but that is a minor adjustment. The JHM shifter is a little off too but the transmission has been out a few times. Right now I can’t get into fifth gear but in a few minutes I am going to play with it some more.
I already spoke with euroswager about this but I thought that I should bring it up here. Friday night is the test and tune night at Capitol Raceway in Crofton MD so I am going if it doesn’t rain. We shall see how deep I can get into the twelves since the heat is on. It will probably not be a record setting night but I want to get comfortable with the S4 before it cools off in September and October. Plus it is always fun to go over 100 mph legally!
Anybody local to me or there is welcome to come. We should have a few other cool cars going too.
Great to hear jbones. This is my favourite build thread right now. Good luck at the strip.
Mine too. Woot whoot jboness. Good luck at the track in 100deg temps. That’s a tall order
yeah 100 degrees at the dragstrip = tough pill to swallow for a non intercooled car powered by a V8 crammed into an engine bay designed for a 1.8 turbodiesel.
If we compare to other supercharged cars who went in utterly dogshit conditions, you’re probably looking at 12.9 @ 108 or something.
There’s a massive heatwave on in the northeast till Friday.
Well guys I am going to have to postpone the track visit to next Friday because I figured out that the fifth gear issue is more than the shifter out of alignment. It should be cooler next week too. They are calling for 85 degrees instead of 95/96 degrees.
A blessing in disguise? Let me know if there is anything else you need man.
Jake
Lets hope. By the way, I can now get the transmission totally out of the car with the headers in the way in a hour and a half and then disassembled in ten minutes. Way too much practice!
Wow, getting good! Looking for a job? 
That’s pretty damn quick JimmyBones. Nice work!
Haha that’s funny. I remember back in the day thinking jbones was part of JHM lol.
Haha, why is that?
A very helpful talent at the hands of other people not having the talent to build sruff right. Do you have to pull the transmission again…
