The Project Pad

project tube manifold and 67mm hx52 is a go! In other words, its now fully funded partially thanks to Ed for buying my awesome H1C stuff. Thanks bud.

FYI HX52 flows ~90lb/min which puts its closest competitor as a gt42

HTH! Good timing as I get back home tomorrow and the BBQ2 thrash begins.

Bilstein is going to check all of their boxes tomorrow to see if something got mixed up. I really can't see how USPS separated anything considering they got both of my instruction sheets, but supposedly only one strut. This is such bull. I'm going to be pissed when I talk to them tomorrow and they haven't found my struts :curses:

stuff like this makes me angry too. I hope you get it sorted out. What a waste of time :(

My offer stands on the tranny! :wink:

You are actually kinda close to what I'd take even shipped. Someone has dibs right now, so he had better hurry up and decide if he wants it! **nudge, nudge**

PRA4WX, if you want to make a serious offer, I'm open to it if this falls through.

U sent the shocks to Bilstien Ca?

Yes I did

Well like whats been said.........hope this gets straightened out.
Do U think they believe u sent them 3 shocks and not just the one they say they received?

It sounds like they don't believe me that I sent 3. I have a receipt for almost $60 in shipping and had instruction sheets for two sets of shocks in there and they have both sheets. I need to talk to the post office asap to try and get a shipping weight.

She never called me today. I'm going to write an e-mail to the president of Bilstein US if I can. Also, they still haven't even touched the M3 strut that they got. Two weeks turnaround is what I was told. They got it on the 5th. Add in the fact that they only lasted 18 months and this will go all over the internet if they don't get this sorted out.

On a more positive note, my H1C is off of the Audi. It makes me a bit sad to send that little soldier away, but its going to a great home I get dibs on it if you ever want to sell it Ed!

All of that stuff has made room for some awesome stuff being made by Hank. I'm pretty excited. Oh and in addition to getting all the H1C stuff off, I put the new throttle body on with Hargett clamp and TPS sensor all wired up and such. The Hargett allows for a lot of deflection and can even rotate while connected. This car would be ready to drive tomorrow when I get my t-belt and alt belt if it weren't for Bilstein (and waiting on all the just-ordered goodies from Hank )

just to say thanks again.

You appreciating it as much as you have is thanks enough

look at those RIMS. lol.

Bilstein never called me Wednesday (I called them at the end of the day too) and never called me today after another message left.

Bilstein US headquarters in Ohio is going to get a call from me tomorrow. If they don't do anything for me, I'm going on an internet rampage and might need to borrow or buy someones stock struts for a little while... just so I can put the car on the ground, even if they are totally blown.

I have some blown stockers from my 5k here that I'm probably taking to scrap soon...

that might come in handy. As long as the inserts will fit, I might snatch those up from you. I'll give you a call tomorrow after I talk to Bilstein HQ.

sounds good.

oh Ed, here is a pic of your parts from when everything was off last night (proof ) and a little comparo of hx52 to h1c.



also, here is how the car sits now. Its ready to start up minus the damned Bilsteins and my turbo/header/dp combo

I have a set of non blown fronts and blown rears i'd loan out or sell. The rears are bilsteens and I don't know what the fronts are

I'll get back to ya (as discussed in text) as soon as I speak with bilstein! Thank Jon

Good Dag!!

That HX52 dwarfs the dog! ;-)

YAY

Bilstein is taking my word for it and just replacing them Still have to wait a few weeks, but thats OK.

congrats!!!!
