Do tires count as “build” material? 🙂 I needed to reload the stockers for AWD heaters. (Yeah right) Time to dust off the tire changer. 🙂 You gotta love Tire Rack I ordered these Saturday and they arrived Monday.:headbang: ---

Part of the progress update from Steve… Your exhaust is huge and the downpipes appear to be custom as well. Since you appear to have custom downpipes, there’s a chance that the O2 sensors will hit the manual transmission. I will know this (and whether there will be interference with the trans mount brackets) before the engine goes back up and will have to make a decison on how to relocate (re-clock) the O2 sensors and clearance the trans mount bracket(s). Hopefully no action will be required. :ohnoes: I don’t think I knew the downpipes were custom. scratches head. And of course there are other issues as well but nothing major. ---

Like I always say, everything I own is always for sale… at the right price. Custom downpipes just added about $2000.00. 😃 ---

Well this can of worms is quickly becoming a 55 gallon drum. He just discovered that the after/auxillary(whatever) coolant pump is shot and it looks like it has been for a looooong time. And of course these are not on the shelf at the local Audi dealer. There are a bunch of other little issues but this one is going to sting a bit more. ☹ ---
