No doubt. Our roads here in Jacksonville are crappy. They're in constant construction mode. Just today I was driving slalom course on Spring Park Rd. The newly installed man-holes were sticking up so high, I feared what would happen if Cup strattled over them. I guess the road was waiting another surface of asphalt. Anyhoo, i'm babbling.

Justin, man I love the stance of Buggy. Dude i so want to lower Cup. I'm sure when that happens, i'll be in touch with you.

Great car! Those new wheels are going to look awesome.

I can't believe I've never posted here I've looked thru here often enough I could never roll so low, I'd never get up the curb at the bottom of my drive. Looks great Are you tired of those wheels aready?

[SMG]

Yeah, I get tired of a set of wheels at least every year. These new A8 replicas are my 6th set of wheels since 2004.

The Fat Fives have found a good new home though, they're going on a red Corrado SLC, they're going to look amazing.

[Lnzbug]

That was going to be my next question Post a pic of the Corrado, I really like those cars, to bad they aren't made anymore

[SMG]

So I started tearing the motor down a bit:



It needs:

- New Sparkplugs
- New Coilpack
- New Vacuum Lines
- New Coolant Lines
- A new upper rad hose.
- New Supercharger Belt

Oh, and a new toy arrived today. I've been searching for one for 3 years!



That's all for now!

Sweet man , however, I'm pretty sure u'll need to swap in your airbag, u'll throw a code, Turbo S bags are not the same as yours.

[SMG]

Yeah, it looked a little different when I had it off. The spokes have a few scratches on them, but since I bought that extra set of TS spokes from sahm I can take my pick of 2 sets and flip the leftovers.

[Billsbug]

IMO the OEM wheel is waaaay too skinny for the S/RSi spokes, u gotta do a custom cover man!

[SMG]

I just cut a wheelskin off it 20 minutes ago.

[Billsbug]

Not sure u can get green/black, but all black is good too: http://www.isottashop.com/store/inde...Path=26_99_173

You just trim and tuck the extra under the spokes, then crank 'em down tight.

[SMG]

That one looks sweet, I might do that.

[Billsbug]

It's padded and fits tightly over the OEM cover, so u end up with a real fat wheel w/ really great grip, it's never slippery like the OEM wheel. PITA to sew on tho.

BTW, the purpose of the billet spokes is to counterweight the wheel, so it goes back into the center after a turn, they are really heavy.

[porschtrimr]

awesome car ,love the tt comps with the new lower stance,didnt use to dig cyber green at all ,but am really coming round to them now

[gilligan]

Dumping the fat fives eh? I was thinking the same thing I want some of those gti wheels with the big holes in them. Stay Hip Jordan.
P.S. Nice Pics.

I'm about to get coils for my car, and I'm planning on slamming it. Do you have many issues with rubbing or anything?

[SMG]

Yeah I have tons of rubbing issues. My car is parked now after I broke a swaybar endlink. I put some stock endlinks on and the axle-on-swaybar rubbing is nasty. I can limp around town but it's no fun to drive until the new endlinks arrive.
