That's fine. Keep in mind that the TIP doesn't get pressurized during normal usage... it's normally only subjected to vacuum. BUT: if you're using the stock TIP then keep in mind that it will collapse a little during vacuum.

 

Drove her in the snow this morning. God do I love Quattro!!!

 

listed some s4 lower door trim in the classified if anyone is interested

 

I spent all day hand washing, doing a proper exterior cleaning only to be backed into by my girlfriends Mom. God-damn-It!!!

 

Just installed a new f1 racing clutch, so far feels great. Only 150 miles so far....

 

Replaced my HIDs with some new ones from Krauto

New cabin filter

tightened turbo to test pipe bolts (no clue how they started coming loose)

Took out the battery and applied some rust inhibitor

enjoyed spending time under the hood tinkering...

Oh yeah, reinstalled a new bolt in the sway bar and link that magically disappeared...

 

replaced battery and started her

 

Replaced the fuel filter today. What a headache.

 

Pulled my blower motor yesterday morning and found that the brushes were really worn and the spring was not applying much force to keep them in contact with the armature. Pulled the brushes and mic'd them for dimensions for a spacer. Low and behold, my sons vast lego assortment provided almost an exact dimensional spacer. Heat works now and hopefully lasts through the winter. I know it'll need to be replaced eventually but it gave my son a chuckle and an eye roll when I was rummaging through his lego bin at 8:00 in the morning. "Dad, what are you doing in my Lego's??" he asked. "Fixing the heat in my Audi", I replied. The look on his face was priceless; if ever there was a look that defined ^facepalm^, this was it

Did my front brakes afterwards...

 

^awesome, on so many levels
