Whats in store...

The good news is (i think this is good news lol) I blew the tiptronic trans and my headgasket So I've been piecing together my new project and the parts are coming to an end. I'll be starting this project sometime next week and will update with pics.

For the trans:

5spd manual swap(pedals, axles, gearbox, shifter)
southbend DXD stage 4 clutch w/ 6 puck disc
034 15lb billet LWFW
JHM shortshifter, linkage, and delrin bushings
034 track density trans mounts
AWE DTS with JHM upgraded poly mount.

The engine will be getting:

83mm JE 8.5:1 pistons
Scat rods
eurospec knife edged 86.4mm crank
cat 3653 cams
inconel exhaust valves
IE valve springs and retainers
ECS Ultimate Plus1.8T Timing Belt Kit
OE Oil Pump
Rear Main Oil Seal With Flange
Intermediate Shaft O-Ring
Oil Pan Gasket
034 Coated Main Bearings
034 Coated Rod Bearings
ARP Main Stud Kit
Raceware Head bolts
ARP Rod Bolt Set


I plan on running the 2871r @ 28-30psi w/ meth until I upgrade to a 30r framed turbo sometime in July

Are you doing everything your self?

Car is looking good by the way. Are you planning to get sideskirts to complete the look or you're leaving it as it is?

the car looks awesome man, good luck with all the work. The front lip off the S4 bumper looks great, where did you get it from? And is that orange or yellow lamin-x on the fogs? (if lamin-x at all). You should paint the rear lip spoiler black to match the hood and mirrors.

6spd gearing is not that ideal for a GT3076r 1.8T you fall out of the power band in between shifts
