^^^ It was decided last night in a moment of clarity.

I have the ecu connectors ordered. Haven't heard it run since October... need to fire it up.

John - consider this an official memo. WE (the team) need to get together and discuss the hard facts of financing a T2 drivetrain for February and come to a decision.

I have some ideas.

Beer is always welcome, however, not a requirement. Bring whatever you want to drink.
Really need Scott to get in here and lay out some details for the minions.

Stuff to do:

1. Bring beer. Lots of beer. Bud Light is preferred. Arriving with no beer is cause for immediate ejection from the premesis.

2. Field trip to retrieve parts for the Lemon from a Top Secret Location:
a. T2 Starter
b. T2 Slave Cylinder
c. T2 Driveshaft
d. T2 LSD
e. T2 Axles
f. 5 lug swap parts and brakes

3. Pull engine and transmission from Lemon

4. Remove clutch and flywheel from Lemon. The NA ACT XTREME Clutch Pressure Plate and ACT 4 Puck Sprung Disc are for SALE!

5. Remove oil pan from engine and reseal it.

6. Rewire of S4 body harness to mate with FD engine harness.

7. Are we drinking beer or what???

8. Remove NA diff... throw it as far as possible.

9. Remove NA Axles

10. Install T2 axles.

11. Install T2 Diff. Weld the diff mount solid for good measure.

12. Install Turbo flywheel to engine.

13. Prepare pit vehicle for its top secret mission and Lemon for its top secret auxiliary power unit.

14. By this time I should be pretty buzzed and I reserve the right to generally be a Tyrant and order people around while I watch.

15. No clutch yet for the Lemon - so its a good time to stop, drink some more beer, play Guitar Hero, and screw around with the FD.

Here's one posted on another thread... but you get the point:



As of today we have scored most of a T2 drivetrain / 5 lug swap.

As soon as we get a T2 clutch, we pull the old stuff off the Lemon and put the new stuff on.
