PM me if you are interested. Fronts are Eibach's with built in hub centric rings and the rears are ? With removable hub centric rings. I Sold the H&R's I had a while back. But honestly there is no quality diff between the Eibach's and the rear ones that I can see. Both have grade 8 hardware.

A Good Shop
Hey 8 Maniac, one of the guys (Dan) that came Saturday for the coil over install owns a TT S4 and he is having some issues with it. He is blowing black smoke when he hits boost so I am pretty sure his turbos are in need of a rebuild but if i do end of working on it you should come by. In your research have you found any reputable Audi shops? He had his timing belt(s) and water pumps (yes it has two water pumps) replaced and the guy did shitty work and put 120 mile son his car but he cannot prove it.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll let him know. I just found out that if he has the 2.7L TT engine that it has to be removed to replace the turbos
I am still researching for him but if that is the case then it will be a big job.

I'm definitely up for helping out on whatever it is... might as well get familiar with the car as much as possible.
What does everyone think of the Shinari design? I think it looks pretty good for a concept... could obviously use a little bit more cleaning up and refinement for a production car, but overall a good direction I think.

Yeah I am down for helping the guy out but I'm not pulling the motor, . I did call majestic Turbo in Waco where i have had great experiences with turbo rebuilds and they quoted me $333.00 for each turbo if the compressor wheel and housing are not damaged.
If he gets back to me I will let you know.
I love the Shinari design and personally think that it is closest to what the next rotary will be in. There really is no market for a two seater, RX-7 replacement. Just look at the sales of the 370Z.

Hey guys - I wanted to thank Scott, Juan and J for helping me out this weekend with my coilover install. I took the car out to the proving grounds (aka Del Rio) and she handled those roads brilliantly. I may have to turn the setting down a little bit but otherwise it's a really solid piece of work. You guys rock.
I did a bit of research for my friend Dan and it turns out he's got the infamous 2.7L biturbo V6. The car's still hanging out in San An. No idea when he'll be able to get it fixed but I keep directing him to this board. It's really pretty awesome how helpful you guys all are around here.

can i get my volks painted? i dont know much about the finish besides it all the silver color. i was wanting to go with the mag ones or gunmetal after i couldnt get the red set...my best choice might just be finding someone to trade with rather than try to change it but im not sure.

They are 2 piece wheels so the face can be removed and painted (rotr8 did his) but it's the edges along the diamond cut that concern me. Whoever is doing it would have to be a pro. That diamond cut face is why i don't like the face painted all the same color, it takes away from the detail. The black two tone looks amazing as well. I don't care for the all black

Any good paint shop can remove the face and paint them however you want. They would probably need to sand blasted, then painted and polished for best results depending on the look you want.

My dad has restored some old car in the past and sold them here.

But honestly the forums for those types of rides are the best places.

Evere since tbk turned me on to that color I have been hooked for some reason. Then when I saw this Z at the 512 project i was sold for life.
Maybe I could run two of your black on one side and Volks on the other
