My project is rebuild my N/A S4 (remove emissions, cone filter, fab headers and exhaust), learn how to tune rtek, get a good paintjob(not spray paint anymore) and work on being a badass!

Summer break is awesome!

Base model (the nice car):
-Pull out blown n/a engine
-Working on re-looming the cooked emissions harness right now
-Clean the filthy engine bay
-Swap in new engine (probably picking up an S5 n/a engine pretty soon)
-Electronic 6pi and VDI activation, using electric air pump
-5-lug swap
-Clean/wash/scrub/vacuum anything I can reach

Sport model (the future track ****):
-Fully commit to stripping out anything that's not essential to making the car run
-Patch any rust that affects structural integrity (I don't care what the exterior looks like anymore )
-Beat the hell out of it

hopefully replace my passenger door and get a few other minor things from a parts car.

also get a new steering wheel. i made the mistake of ripping off the foam. so...i had a metal bar there for a while. then i put some heater hose on it and its solid now, but a new one will be so much nicer.

thats all i got lined up for summer.

to finish my winter projects, lol

I think the car is just one big project, seasons blend into each other into a blurr leaving a empty space where cash once resided.

im really digging that computer set up, but man try to trim it out in something quick!

I just picked up a car to replace my Sil80, so thats going to be my work in progress for several years.

My first plan of attack is to get the door locks and sunroof working again, then overhaul the AC and see if it works.

Im also picking up a REW motorset very soon to send off and have built. I know it would be easier to buy another 13BT but Im getting a gangster deal for the full motorset so Im gonna work with it.

Anyway, pics are more fun so heres the canvas.
