Doing a pretty good little overhaul on my car very shortly, i guess overhaul is the wrong word.. im fixing ****..? yea, thats better..

Southbend Stage 2 (daily) clutch good for 280lbs-ft
Replacement OEM Sidemount IC
A8 front brakes

Since i hit a deer a few weeks ago:

New set of Depo Projectors
Replacement OEM Grille
Replacement OEM headlight washer cover

Car has 154k on the original motor, and tranny. All Control arms replaced within the last 10k miles.. timing belt/water pump was done around 105-110k.. she doesnt leak any oil.. Shes held up real good, and taken out a combined 250 lbs worth of vermonts finest deer..

Other things im thinking of.. snub mount, also came across a set of 4 Bilstein/Eibach combo used (40k) on the zine for 280.. pretty good deal i feel like.. i guess what other things have i overlooked that should be looked at? valve cover gaskets is another thing to look at.. prolly a tranny fluid flush.. but im open to alllll suggestions

also, without any whining from the pump, what would cause my wheel to stick and not return while going around a sharp corner at slow speeds, like turning onto another road. ill crank a few times and then instead of the wheel returning almost unassisted back to center, it will stick where i stop turning and go to get it headed back straight, and when i pull on it to get her going it will come back but its not smooth at all.. can be kinda scary when going around a semi tight corner at speed limit and the wheel just wants to stick and not come right back to you..

 

I would do an allignment first and make sure you are riding true and straight. The geometry of a balanced and straight system helps the hwheel return back to center. Also, I would look into maybe the steering dampener.

 

I think you should change out the crankcase breather system, and also consider replacing the vacuum hoses.

I can relate about the deer. I took out one of Minnesota's finest deer back in 2003 shortly after I bought my B5.

 

ohhh joe forgot to mention i did an alignment right after i threw on the control arms.. shes runnin true.. steering damper, ill def look into it.

and jdahlen, ive replaced several vac hoses here and there when i found that they needed to be, but not all of them. and the goddamn deer man! its awful.. especially now with huntin season theyre all over the place. cant seem to get away from them.. thanks for the ideas fellas..
