The Project Pad

Gorgeous wheels, would love to see a full profile pic of the car.

Thanks, I will once I can get it out and back in the garage- Garage is a mess right now, too much stuff & a new different project- a series 1 240z...I have so much stuff in there I can't get a full profile photo.

Love the wheels and the coil cover with cutouts!

That is a nice touch!

That's great. Ive never seen that.
Everything is looking good, I'm glad the setup is going to good use
Someday maybe ill join the white URQ club. That's the dream .
Swap looks really clean!

Thanks fellas- I got it on ebay.de. Here's a better pic of it.


I've got another that is similar that I want to sell. I'll put it in the swap meet.

that is F*cking awesome - I love it. If only I still had a 20v to use it on LOL

So after some transmission & clutch issues I finally have the car on the road - after almost two years. Had it aligned today since I replaced the rack and subframe bushings and found that the rear subframe is cracked. I will have to fix that this week and get it aligned again. I am running stock AAN except RS2 turbo so I have the N75 disconnected so I can sort out the little issues that will pop up. Its really great driving this car again especially since I have been driving the other two and this one has so much personality to drive. And the sound is so good, I had forgotten how the I5 sounds.

Couple of photos (sorry about the camera pics- they are a little fisheyed):

Congrats
What's next!
I did end up finding my white urQ as luck would have it ! So soon I will be in the club.

Hey Pat- you got johns? That was a really good deal! Once I have it running reliably I will install the vems I got from you with some injectors and give it some more power

Did I read correctly that you're running a 9" wheel width? The fitment looks really good. What size tire are you running? The whole car looks great! I especially love that trick coil cover.

John- Yes 9" wheel with 235/40-17 tires. There are still a few choices in that size - like 9 not counting race tires. There is a little stretch with the tires - which I didn't like at first - but that has grown on me. They also rubbed at the rear corner where the bumper cover attaches when hitting a big bump but I rolled it a little and it doesn't rub any more. My bumper cover was already worn right there when I got the car, the hole to attach was gone so I think that also helped . It is lowered with H&R springs and konis set at the stiffest setting. I think the euro bumpers will only help this issue once I get them cleaned up and mounted because they are lighter, especially the rear bumper.

I wish my car looked as good as yours, mine is very rough. Body work and rust repair is next on the agenda but as you know that is the most difficult part. I am partial to black - especially metallic black - but that requires painting the exterior in one shot and I figure I could paint the panels individually nuch easier with a two stage solid black and not have to worry about flip-flop.

So I finally got around to installing my Waksmotorsport billet wastegate cap. It is a really nice product. I wanted a silver anodized one but Konrad was having trouble with his anodizer so I ended up with a polished one. I looked for someone to anodize it here but no one will do just one piece.
