About two days after purchasing the Audi, the dash blanked. Tonight, after some quick troubleshooting, I got it back!

You're a terrible person. I'm going to go see a manual 91 Audi 200 turbo in a few hours. I hope you're happy!

gently caress Craigslist. "Bro I'm at school until 3, let's meet at 3:30." Go to bank, pull out cash. Get a call at 3:30, "bro I just sold it."

I had cash, and the other guy was trying to talk him into holding it for a couple days. I just showed him the cash and said if he wanted to wait, that was fine. He chose to take the cash. Wise man.

Blower decided screeching at me was a good way to get attention. Was easier to get to than I thought it would be:   Had to pull the passenger side of the dash a way just an inch to get the fan past the vent piping, but it was out and in in less than 30 minutes.

So now that I have garage space, and while waiting on the wiring harness for the 3B turbo to arrive, decided to tear down the old 4k 2.2l motor.     Random Honda and Yamaha Bikes

So, with the recent cold snap I've discovered that I don't like having a broken thermostat, and I recent discovered the plastic radiator endcap was cracking. Change time!    The bay was coated in leaking pentosin, while I was in there I cleaned it out and fixed the various leaks, mostly old hoses that had become brittle and shaped over time, cut and reclamp.  Thermostat comes out!  The spring on the old thermostat was EXTREMELY weak, the new one didn't have the weep hole on it, but no big deal.  Reassembled and tested good, heats up great and is cooling like a charm! Going to send off the two old radiators to be rebuilt and refurbished for spares.

Now that spring has lurched into motion, I got a better recording of the exhaust. Audi 90 Quattro 20v Straightpipe: http://youtu.be/Wbsu5cjU5nw Larrymer posted:What's this cost? I've never tried that, just tossed them for junk. It various depending on how bad it is, but I've had them rebuilt for as little as $100 to replace both end caps and steam bathe it.

New and upsized tires! Was stock 185/60/14, slightly enlarged to 185/65/14.   I was trying to replace the front rotors, as they are well ridged and out of spec, but ordered the wrong size for the B3, the RIGHT size for the 4k Quattro, so I didn't have to return them.

NitroSpazzz posted:1983 Audi Ur quattro for $12.5k near Phoenix - http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/4936356744.html drat the luck! Today while driving home, I notice the temp gauge was spiking a bit and got a bit worried, thankfully as I got out of traffic I noticed that while moving the temp would drop, so I automatically assumed the fan. Sure enough, I got home and the measly crimped connectors the PO had used to replace the OEM connector had stripped and corroded themselves out. Nothing some new connectors, solder, and heatshrink couldn't clean up.   Much better.

I've successfully used solder in limited automotive applications, but have been told that it's always a bad idea. I personally don't see how a twisted pair of strand wire fused with solder and then taped/heat shrieked together could fail, but there you have it. Also anything over $10k for that UrQ was way too much. The interior is shot,to,poo poo and I suspect the paint/body aren't far behind.

I don't know where they'd get that idea, as solder is used during the cars construction, so why would it suddenly be bad to use it in a repair, and I don't entirely trust crimp only repairs. No. 6 posted:Also anything over $10k for that UrQ was way too much. The interior is shot,to,poo poo and I suspect the paint/body aren't far behind. Yeah, its not for me, I'd rather not pay a premium on something I could make myself out of a 4k Quattro or find in another incarnation for far less and in better shape.

Organized the parts:  My dad gave me a bunch of his air tools as a move in gift, partially because he never used them:   My tool box is getting crowded.

That thing would be nice a wife and three kids would limit the fun I ever really had in that thing. I should be limiting myself to four or five cylinders. Im really torn between an audi 80 that's for sale locally or adding another jeep to the stable.

Im really torn between an audi 80 that's for sale locally or adding another jeep to the stable. Yeah, at least the 90 has the bonus of being a Sedan with 5 seats, that was the big limiting factor in my choosing between the 4000/90 and the Coupe GT/Coupe Quattro. Having four doors and extra seating space for children was the deciding factor. Look at it this way: When I was a kid, my dad bought an MX-5 to putter around in, we were a four kid family, so the Miata was already a poor choice. At least by getting the 90/4000, I leave plenty of family space should our main family car fail.
