okay so my clutch master cylinder came in the mail today. installing it was easy. before i had installed it, the pedals were like a good advertisment for a AT&T commercial. as you can see.

i asked my friend about this and he said his clutch was even with the brake so i figured when i installed the CMC it would even out. turns out i was right.

also aledelic as u can see i tucked the blue wires

so things have been coming along rather well. i just got a full time job so i should be bringing in a decent paycheck now to afford all of this, so i should have it done hopefully before october.

in a week or so im going to NJ to buy a 97 1.8 5spd driveshaft off of tooextreme8813 or AudiRacerS4 on audizine. he says its a better one cause its made of carbonfibre.

and the rest of the parts im getting off of a guy on AZ for about 1500$ with an upgraded stg 3 clutch and lwfw.

also since i put in my new turbo timer, the wiring wasnt any different i just replaced the old one with a new one, no new wires were added and the wiring spots were not changed, but ever since then now every time i remove the key my car sounds like it trys to die then comes back on and i get a cel. it shows up as a MIL and says check TCM, i check tcm and it says Short to ground B+ i clear and it just comes back heres a pic

very nice. the easy stuff has been done, now you need to put in the actual stuff that will let you use the almighty shifter that moves around a lot. right now you look like a poser hehe

not familiar with the tiptronic steering wheel, do both of those buttons on both sides serve the same purpose? It looks much better man, 5spd FTW!
