I should add that a good 6.5" will reproduce any base except the low note from Crystal Method Vegas High Roller. They even do 50 cent Candy Shop... hah.

[loxxrider]

agreed^^

My 6.5's are a bit weak on the bass-midbass. Just need a small sub for some fill and I'll be happy.

[crappyoldaudis]

50W rms pair of 6x9 will *almost* replace a subwoofer, but you need to do some serious cutting. I know what you mean tho, cuz I had a 300w 12" free air sub for several years. The trunk was the sealed box, and I've never felt better base in anything but a competition setup, which is saying something. Once you've had that, you can never go back.

The B4 trunk is perfect for a 12" free air. I cut the parcel shelf and mounted a 3/4" ply doubler. Next I might try a pair of 10" in stereo mode. It would literally shake buildings.

[death 4kqt]

It was when pulling it off the cam to put in my 7a's.

[loxxrider]

Good, thats what I was hoping. So get a new one! (good thing we didn't do it at Carlisle lol)

[amd is the best]

I have seen this a few times now. Adjustable gears are worth their weight for the fact that they have new keyways

Freaking lucky!!

[WOMBAT]

where does one find new keyways?

[Hank]

you can't. You have to replace the entire gear.

[WOMBAT]

and then I cried.

I am very glad that it didn't happen while driving or better yet at 7000k+, lol. I think the gear may have been broken by the previous owner. I saw some kind of mystery glue on the back of it near the key, not sure. Either way, I've got a new (used) one on it's way to me and it should be here Thursday. I was pissed that I wan't going to be tuning today though! I did finish up installing the cams and new timing chain:



A small view of my fathers new shop (HUGE):



The job wasn't bad at all. I think the disty is off a tooth though and what a pain that thing is to get at. I'll finish that up when the gear comes.

[Heed]

what shop? all i saw was a sweet 200... lol
and yeah pain is right. sjm suggests taking the intake off first. i didnt when i did my cap and rotor and it sucked. i think taking the intake off is well worth the work to save the frustration..

[amd is the best]

Haha, thanks man!

I did it a while back when the first disty gear took a crap and found a trick to get it done easier. Of course I replaced it with a metal gear one and completely forgot my trick.

Guys, what's the best way to go about torquing the cam gear? How do I hold it in place? Torque spec?

I just don't want to break my new gear when it comes tomorrow, lol.

[yodasfro]

You need a cam pulley counter holder. Don't use an impact gun that's how the woodruffs shear. Torque is 50 ft lb

[amd is the best]

Is that an Audi specific tool? I'll have to improvise and make something. I never use impact, especially on something like this.
