What did you do to your B5 today?
Finally fixed my remote locks
I decided to nix the factory keyless entry as I gave up on finding a key fob for a 96 and installed an aftermarket 'Viper' unit. Works awesome and integrates into the factory wiring easily. NIce to be able to lock and unlock without the key finally.

Went from driving 160+ miles a day to less than 5, I finally moved closer to work. LOL
So I decided since I'm not spending over $800 a month on gas, I am passing the A4 to the wife, scrapping her POS BMW 520, and I am going to start looking seriously for an RS6. I found a nice 2002 ABT for 14,500 €, 517 HP. For some odd reason they are cheaper than a similar year, milage, condition RS4, but bigger and faster.

Finally got some proper rubber on the summer wheels today. No more stretch for me. Also got them mounted just in time for 20cm of snow this weekend... Yippie

^Those look awesome! What did the rubber run you, if you don't mind my asking?
Just ordered a new coolant flange and 3qts of Redline MT-90 from ECS, a full front control arm kit from FCP, and a silicone valve cover PCV vent tube from 034. Aaaaaaaaand I'm poor again

Did you get the 5% off deal from FCP? I just got my rotors from them and got the 5% discount for writing a review for an item they sell. I think it was going until the end of the month.

They look great man.
I did a quick fix on my car that's been pissing me off. I damaged the side bumper bracket on my car awhile back and as a result the bumper would droop down if I hit a bump, kinda like this:
I just went out, took out the big bolts behind the fog grilles that go into the bumper shocks, slid the bumper forward, and removed the bracket. The lower guide was weakened. I put on a bracket I pulled at the junkyard last week and put it back together. Now it sits like it should. It's the little things that matter sometimes.
