picked up a new 2000 1.8t volcano black and swapped everything over from the 2.8 audi ;-]

 

Talkin about the Tyrolsport RCS group buy from the zine? I bought them too but have been too lazy to install them.

 

just like your muffler?

 

LOL actually yes! JUST like the muffler!

 

Over the weekend I spent about 9 hours doing an e-fan install and some other miscellaneous things. I chose the SPAL 14" slim puller fan and a Hayden thermostatic relay control (adjustable turn-on temperature and will turn on with the AC). I may need to raise the turn-on temperature 'cuz the fan likes to come on a lot - although that means it's doing its job. Along with this I uninstalled the fan clutch assembly and put in a shorter accessory belt!

One of the other things I did was install a different DV, along with a stiffer spring in that DV. My turbo response improved quite a bit maybe I just needed to put a stiffer spring in my other DV...

 

Nice

 

here you go... and yea i am saving up for the springs to lower the car... running the 225/40-18 tires leaves me about a 2" gap so ill be looking at the 1.5 drop all the way around.
Also check this out i have my old rims for sale if anybody is up for them.

Thanks for the pic. I'm going to look at some 18's tonight. I'm not sure if I want to drop mine anymore and sacrifice any ground clearance. Yours looks nice. New wheels are much better!

 

You don't need too much ground clearance to daily without scraping.
