Yes, I can, and yes, I want!

 

@ hiwords - The rest of the car has RS4 mounts and I will now be concentrating on the transmission from this point forward. I have the AWE transmission stabilizer so not to much more is needed from what I will be adding and replacing. The turbo I am looking to go with is either the BorgWarner EFR 7064 or the 7670 but I haven't decided yet.

@ CCA4 - Yeah it's good to be back around posting and I will try to make it a little more regular Mike says the S4 guys break this part all the time so that is why 034 made the replacement part out of solid billet, so it should be a nice upgrade along with the Stern inserts and Power Ring.

 

Fred, holy crap, nice to see another long-lost soul. Yeah the S guys break those but for a 1.8T it almost seems like an accomplishment. Good to hear of the plans for the car - definitely keep us updated.

 

This was the result the first time I did a 4500k launch which caused me to get the current FX300 clutch from clutch masters.

 

^^ That'll buff out.

 

Damn I just had my rear cross member off changing the bushings in it (also from ringer racing ) and seemed pretty stout! Nice work on snaping that sumbitch!

 

quite a few stg3 guys break those J. i see it happening on zine and whoretex

 

The carnage continues .....






Apikol and Ringer Racer to the rescue

 

So I got my order in with Mike Hood at Ringer Racing as I had to make some changes since I found out about the additional damages and here is what is on the way ....

Rear Cross Member (with pressed in stock bushings)





Without bushings as I have ordered



Rear Cross Member Inserts (Apikol, what I will be using)



Rear Apikol Diff Support with insert









And of course the two new CV Axles.

 

At least you can take comfort in the fact that they make high perf replacements for all the stuff that you broke, right?
