It is actual registered and insured for the street but hasn't been on the street in a long time. It attracts way to much attention for me. Next year itll be 25 years old and registerable as classic in VA so that allow me to bypass the state inspection which it of course would not pass. |
I made some progress on the trunk yesterday, I'm really excited about how this is turning out. The factory humps in the trunk really line up perfectly with the turbos which was super lucky. I can't wait to see it all together with the exhaust. :cheers:

OK one more photo because I'm just so pumped about how this is turning out. And yes it'll be wrapped like the rest of the car http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1615295728.jpg

What a phenomenal build this car is! Man I wish you were my next door neighbour...

Wow. How much oil is this going to need? The plumbing looks amazing.

The fender intercoolers are done, definitely more work than I anticipated and I still have some metal clean up work but its all plumbed up and looks like it'll work.

FYI, I bought the same radiator as the one you're using in the frunk and was very pleased with the build quality for how cheap it was. The only problem with it is the pressure valve on the cap is too weak. It will release pressure around 190 and continues to drip even when the car is cold. I'm going to weld it closed as it's not needed for my situation. I also plan on installing a radiator hose with a cap built into it at a high point in the system to help relieve air pockets.

I have a major setback, I rotated the engine before I bolted the transmission up but now with everything assembled it won't rotate....ugh. I'm going to pull the transmission off tonight and see what the deal is. Did any of you guys swapping Audi V8s have a similar problem?

When I first mated an AUX (40 valve) with a Boxster 5-speed transmission I had that exact problem. It required a small spacer between the engine and transmission to provide enough clearance for the flywheel/clutch.
It's been a few years, but I had these links bookmarked: https://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/766013-Audi-Engine-To-Transmission-Spacers-Function-When-Are-They-Needed https://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/508044-V8-Models-What-Flywheel-And-Clutch-Combo-Are-You-Running/page2? |
If the spacer is the issue, you might be able to fabricate one based of the bell housing and specific clearance you need. Here's what I just found on eBay, but not sure of the thickness...

It’s off the jack stands, it’s off the jack stands! As it sits it’s 17”s wider than stock😬

Nice! Does it run and drive now?
