Its from the back of the bay somewhere, I dont think its the coolant flange because I replaced that and had it leak free for a couple months. It may be the hose that connects to the flange though because I know I bumped it once taking out the tranny and it caused a leak but I fixed it right then and there. Guess thats where I'm gonna look first.

I'm alright, more just pissed haha my two favorite exterior pieces to my car have been wrecked in the last couple months, my eurotrunk and now my s4 bumper. I'm hoping I can fix the bumper, headlight and fender are trashed and the hood got dented in pretty good and it went right through the paint and ground down the metal.

Win! GTRS?

 

Yessir! It's a full frame t25 gt28rs. Was trying to decide whether to go with this a 2871r or a 3071r for the longest time, then this popped up for a good price (from staz over on audizine) and I jumped right on it.

So pumped for this build, I've got a spreadsheet written up that I'm sticking to and hoping to spend no more than $2600 on the build. Many parts will be bought used where I can and my goal is to get to around 280whp.

Have a ton of other parts and little projects going on, car should be a little different this summer

 

YES! I'm stoked to see this.

It's gonna be a fun build. Keep us updated.

 

No real updates because I still have a month of school left.

But boy do I have a lot of plans for this summer.
In my room I have a stabilia corse 22mm sway bar, a stern power ring, a new south powergasket, new lcd screen, new speakers and some little things. Finally replaced my sh*tty passenger side rear door, got a new trunk to replace my denter euro trunk (its not euro though ) and a few other things.

Oh yea, picked up my external wastegate too

Further more I'm considering wrapping my car matte white. I have a bunch or experience with vinyl wrapping smaller things with much more difficult shapes and curves and know a guy who specifically does vinyl wrapping so I'm thinking I'll be set. I know I'm kinda stealing the idea, but this is the tread that made me want it, especially because my paint is mainly trash.

But onto my main question, I hated that I could notice that my car felt a little sluggish after putting on the fat fives after the winter wheels and it seems like a ton of b5 owners have fat fives now.
So the qquestion is should I keep my fat fives or get some privat akzents (bbs lm reps)?

Something like this:




Or more like this, except in black:

 

I looooove BBS LM's

Dibs on the fat fives if you're sellin!!!

 

I have the carbon fibre vinyl wrap in my interior. I noticed when I was putting it on its not very resilient to scratches. Though I should opt out to this if I decide to repaint. I always wanted a white audi. I would cover the whole thing in clear coat to protect the wrap though.

 

The vinyl wrap is 3M and it has a "clear coat" you could say and it has a 5 year warranty, its also only about $400 to wrap the whole car so its very tempting.

And Chris as soon as I get these reps I'll pm you

 

So for those curious I saw the privat akzents on GLXTACY's black b5 and they just werent what I'm looking for. They didnt look enough like real lm's and deep down I knew I would miss my fat fives.

Lame update, but the fat fives are staying with me
