Hey guys,
So today i drove up to Bellingham Washington and picked up a new toy. I bought thuggin20v's Lago Blue 90 20v. This is going to be another slow build, but for now i am just going to be posting a bunch of maintenance stuff.
Heres some info on the car. It has 225,xxx miles, but runs like a top. The good: H&R springs, bilstien struts, poly rear diff mount, street density trans mount, stage 2 spec clutch, short shifter, exhaust, and a decent sound system. The bad: Clear coat is gone on the hood and the roof is very faded, but thats ok cuz i will have that painted when i do an RS2 bumber and b4 hood. Interior has a few tears, steering wheel needs replacing, quite a few lights out in the dash (already have the 2w bulb conversion), brakes are shot (came with hawk pads and new rear rotors), i hear a mild clunking sound in the front left suspension, front speakers are shot, and it has a mild oil leak.
Heres my list for the next week or two:
Timing belt kit (and fix front main seal)
Brakes
Dash lights
Possibly 034 injectors
Paint wheels black because i love black rims
Oil change
Trans fluid change
Diff fluid change
And check everything else while im in there.
As for now my plans for the car are unsure. I think i have a couple options though.
Option 1:
Holset hy35
Log mani and 38mm wastgate (which would mean the S4 getting a nice custom tube mani)
Ripchip or VEMS or Megasquirt
3B intake mani
Ebay intercooler
And the components that go along with that.
Option 2:
Find a 3B with a chipped ecu and harness and just swap that in.
Both options will keep the 01A for now because im not looking to make HUGE power YET and i will just run the 01A until it breaks. Then comes an 01E
So i think option 2 would be the cheapest with the most future potential, but im not really sure yet. Please tell me your theories and ideas.
Here's a quick pic from the ride home. It gets dark really early now so I will have to wait till this weekend to get more pics.
