I hope there will be some videos when it is all done

#26

Looking at the backrounds and seeing Dan’s car, JHM?

#27

Car is finished and running great. Been busy so ill update you guys shortly

#28

Do keep us posted. You generally don’t hear the terms funnished and running great too often in the B5 world. :o

What are your plans for the car moving forward

#29

yeah seriously. No codes, No lights, No bugs. Just a little oil leak which looks to be coming from the oil pan, easy fix.

Next is 3 inch DP’s and 4 inch exhaust. Getting it smogged today and then need to raise the height of the car a little pic. Rubs the tires when I hit pebbles on the road

#30

There it be.

Needs a bath :stuck_out_tongue:

#31

looks clean for a B5 I mean that sereiously. Most b5 guys have there cars cut up with gimmicky parts. Your car looks clean and stock other then the Blue hoses and even they look cool

#32

Thanks man. Yeah the blue hoses stand out but look pretty cool. Your right about the cut up b5 guys, Those kind of guys are the ones that ruin it for everybody else, like ricers and there hondas, same concept.

The stock downpipes and lame autospeed 2.25" dual exhaust is choking the power soooo bad. Needs that big exhaust to really open this thing up. still no issues besides the oil leak, runs like a champ. Oh except the washer fluid light, had to fill that up lol.

#33

Beauty! Looking forward to vids of the massive exhaust

#34

You still managed to buy a car, replace a motor, and button her back up in less time than an S5 owner has posted a photo of their car ;D

I can’t to wait see how she turns out.

#35

lol ^.

Im thinking about adding water/meth kit as well, nitrous i’ve been debating but that will wait. Exhaust is for sure in about a month. heres what is going on first the next few weeks.

smog
alignment
fix oil leak
adjust shifter

Next few months:
exhaust
water/meth
fmic
re-tune

#36

#37

that is sick, props to you dude. Love the BBS LM’s, especially on Silver I think the contrast with the silver rims is beautiful.

#38

Thanks man, appreciate it.

I love the way it looks as well. The front right tire rubs though, kinda annoying, I think the guy didnt roll the fenders well enough to clear, need to find me a fender roller.

UPDATE:

Installed a JHM knob. Look had rediculously big the old one was lol! like a baseball
