Default March is here!

When I started my projects around the 2nd week of January, I said I'd be done in March.... I got some things done a little while ago, but I put the finishing touches on it tonight. For anyone with an A4 who's thinking about adding a Maggie to your engine bay, you won't regret it! She drives perfectly "normal"... until you start pressing the throttle... Randy - Sorry it took so long to post this, but I only had time in the evenings to work on stuff... so without further ado....







At home, in her room...


A HUGE THANK YOU (ONCE AGAIN) TO "E" for the countless acts of friendship, generosity and wisdom (I put the Magnecor Wires on tonight)

....

Some of the people on this forum are unbelievably kind... I got the wires and NGK Plugs sent to me without even asking!?

Ray (Razor2430) and Gary(Gairno) for the install, Scott Brown (VanGordon and Brown Performance) for the dyno tune.

AND ESPECIALLY MIKE FOR DRIVING ME BACK AND FORTH TO "BFE" (aka Bakersfield... The Land Without Sparkplug Wires)



Here's a short vid on a closed road....

My best to everyone here... you are all awesome.

Dave Q.

WOW!!!!

Not to mention the way the car looks with that hood! I am really jealous! Now you've got to get the VE interior and some nice bling bling wheels for the complete package!

Your car is awesome Dave! Looks like it's ready for a road trip to Phoenix!!

Supercharger aside, the hood, spoiler, and front chin looks amazing.
