Tps?

These were for Audi a8 and were as far as I know Europe only, I had heard of people asking/getting them from Audi, however they are £290+vat each that's £1300+ for for brand newbies!!!

ouch the internet it is then

the set the DRY had on his white mk2, which were redrilled to 4x100, was forsale for 900quid i think. cant remember another set being forsale in this country though.

well after speaking to you tonight though i had better catch up with your build, awsome work Jim, its going to look sooooooooo good when its done!

pinched a couple of pics from my mates 16v g60 build thread that i mentioned to you as he is going for a similar look with the bumpers/wheels:

its looking awsome jim! cant wait to see it in the flesh

Nice wheels gunna look pimp

Glorious day today, so I got the loom finished and hidden off. I didn't realise how much needed to move about when putting battery inside.

Also changed rear axle, brakes etc so I can run 5x100, I'm still needing to get an exhaust system sorted so I didn't dare turn the key properly!!!

But did turn it once and got the hum of fuel pump,front lights, so thought I was happy till taking key out and rearlights stayed on!!! Any ideas???

Fire in the hole

Egor, it's alive!!!!!!!!

Not without any issues of course, that would be far too easy.

Big thanks to Lee, Mark for coming straight from Stanford hall, and phil for the jump leads, milk and my new test kit!!

Oh and it's loud but that maybe due to no backbox haha!!

Jobs for bank holiday: balance the carbs, fit the exhaust, tidy the interior, and scare the sh1t out the neighbours

Quick update, I got the carbs balanced ok, refitted the stock ultra violet interior, 280mm brakes front n rear, exhaust on, I'm now waiting on a selection of jets etc to get carbs running well.

Pics and noisy link hopefully soon,

ps I'm on the lookout for a decent exhaust system from 4 branch back if anyone knows of one, cheers

280s on both?

are you just going to bias it forward a lot?

Whoops me being tired sorry!!

280 front both 226 I think rears. Both tobe on 5x100 hubs for adapters for the a8's

thats o.k. dude, me and lee had to lend a hand because you clearly had'nt got a clue

Oh no I think not,

I'm sure you said dizzy was wrong way round, then it wasn't, then it was the leads!!!

That's why I asked for you, I confused the yellow van

No probs jim

The cap was upside down then the leads needed swapping. Easy thing to overlook IMO anyway. You done a great job otherwis and i was well pleased to be there when it fired into life for the first time.

Awesomeness

Cheers buddy, I got a little parcel today with all the jets, chokes etc so lets hope it'll roar soon.

You gotta be sh1tting me!!



now this has set me back a day or two, I'm gonna start riding a bike this rate.
