He's trying to switch exhaust out so he can get it smogged.

Good thing I don't have any emissions testing where I live. Don't care about the exhaust. Would be a perfect car for my son to learn on and to build.

Middle-age, modified cars are a nightmare in California... that unfortunately won't change.

You're not really getting rid of it, are you?

Purchase an Audi B5 and then get back to me about hating cars, lol.
Just do a full engine/suspension/Torque tube overhaul with new fuel hoses and you will have no issues. |

I've had a B5 30v Quattro for 11yrs now. It's been a great, reliable and capable car as I moved around the country. Added a tow hitch and used it as a truck... they get a bad wrap for the aftermarket parts that are complete crap but super cheap - primarily the front control arms (outer uppers) and the generic coil packs. If you're wrenching on your own then learning a crap parts lesson is no big deal... I can now swap all front control arms in about 2hrs in the driveway. Don't buy aftermarket coilpacks. Don't buy the cheapest control arms you can find.

Having issues with some lights not turning on and I think the radio is fried. Idk doesn't turn on Oh and the glovebox doesn't latch. I have no ****ing idea how it happened Oh and I have a box of parts that need to be installed to include the AC you made spencer lol Last edited by Gawernator; 02-19-2015 at 07:12 AM.. |
