The Project Pad

thats funny, Belg..... Godsmack was playing actually.

if i had thought about it i could have coordinated something cool, like the Vorsprung DurchTechnik or whatever it was.....

woooot



holy chit!!!! lovin the dp hahahahha awesome work im so glad you kept at it!!!1 :woowoo: :jawdrop:

awesome... its more of a "back pipe" than a down pipe, lol.

I want that in my car damnit! :x Freakin sexy.!

and to think that you wanted to throw the towel in a few months ago. good schit man, good schit.

hope to see it at waterfest next year. :-)

its idling now, albeit just a smidge high.

got to get my tuner on board for some late night AWD Dyno session this week. that will perfect it.

but its still loud. i like it. i like it alot.

months? i thought it was weeks ago. thanks to you guys support, i kept at it. and for Don, who painted it. that really made a difference. and Johnny, who sacrificed his own partz for me to be able to get it up and going. and on and on.

maybe take a drive tomorrow. seems i took all of next week for vacation, as well as last friday. i worked all day friday, have to work monday, and possibly wednesday.

i WILL make time for alignment and possibly dyno.

Oh my that is nasty..........................in a good way.

:stupid: :woowoo:

It's good to see this thing running, a lot of work and dedication went into it, Congrats :cheers:
Can't wait to see it go down the track

thx all for the kind words.....

it idles now..... here is a little clip of it. its loud. i do need to get some tweaks done. maybe i will go back to the Map i ran when i finished last year.... we did modify it to turn down the boost for each gear this past track day in search of traction.... which i still hadnt found when i finished up with FWD for permanent.

anyhow, thats it for today. i am gonna do some tidying up of the garage now. its wrecked LOL.

and work on plumbing in the twin wastegates and boost control solenoid.

:woowoo: :thanks:

Many congrats Aaron, that is truly inspirational. You must be psyched to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I am looking forward to a similar day sometime in the semi near future.
So whats' next? when do you get to shake ti down?

did you see the pix on the previous page Haydn? i took fenders off so i could get cool shotz...

coming saturday i shake it out @ Import Challenge, and then sunday @ Pacific Waterlands VW/Audi show i am planning on PRESSING IT!!!!!! hoping to get some tune time in this week....

and i am gathering info for the rabbits mods next LOL.... got quite a bit of stuff floating around in the old cranium about that one

sounds awesome Aaron 8) you've done an awesome job, glad i could help you get that shell that has consumed your time for the last year

Awesome, awesome job Aaron!!! Sounds ferocious!!!!

I am a little sad to have caught up to the current time with this thread. It had become my late night pron session before bed for the past couple of evenings. This is one of the best builds I have ever seen (the other two best builds are on this site as well... weird). Your abilities are most impressive. someday I hope to have a fraction of what you got. Beautiful build...

...the exhaust note will make mothers and small children cry...

thanks for the kind words fellas.... i appreciate it. makes putting all these pictures and stuff up worth it in the long run for the positive feedbacks, constructive criticisms, helping ideas, etc.

now i need to figure out why i have no clutch pedal. new slave. nothing. tried Motive tonight, nothing. but i am working alone on it. maybe i just go buy a new master and deal with it?

will mess tomorrow night with it.

oh yes, and i HAVE to go get the onboard camera out of the rabbit. i HAVE to.

:woowoo: Sounds awesome. Great work.

Nice dude! I cant wait for incar vids!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!! WOW! Already running! You're the man no doubt.

Aaron that awesome idle will change after charge pipe will be installed, grate and fast project im glad you did not give up. Have fun at dyno and track.

nice work!!!! you have some crazy dedication!

Nice nice nice, I cant wait to see it rip the track...

anyone as excited as me?????
