Default Spinfast-Re-install

First off thanks to Craigster05 who came over this morning to help me with the reinstall. His help was much appreciated and I owe him big time..... Honest Craig I knew the car would start after we got done We also drilled out the blocked vacum port and that cured the "check gas cap" issue. Also many thanks to Spinmonster for repairing the patch and shipping the manifold back to me very quickly. I'm happy with the performance of the car with the combination of bolts on that I have ( LG's, Vararam, Tune by Spinmonster Spinfast and 342 gears ) but its reached the point now where I've got to address the traction issue and get some better tires.

It was my pleasure, Jim...I KNEW it would start...I think Guy put you up to saying that....

Tires? Yes, sir....you need them badly. Try some of these:





For anyone with an A4 or A6 - if you are hesitant about gears, just let Jim take you for a ride. The car rides around locally like a base C6...you'd never know there was any mod....UNTIL you lay your foot into it...it pulls like an F-18 jumping off a carrier and does not let up.....I know I say this all the time but if I could do it all again, I'd have an auto instead o the 6 spd.

Nice wheels & color. They would look sharp too in gold color on a red or black C6 ala the Ferrari F430 Scuderia gold wheels.
