Buddy bro northeast chat thread.
And here is the report back on the light bar. Its definitely brighter, but I know hiding it behind the bumper is restrictive. I might just get another 20" bar to put under it because I have a perfect mounting spot and with the way I did the wiring it would be extremely easy to wire in.
The most notable fact is that you can't even see the tree in the middle with just headlight. With the light bar, you can even see the fence behind that tree

Great improvement though! My mom hit a deer yesterday in her new Xterra, so maybe I'll make her start using her offroading lights on her drive home.
Update: Mono isn't fun. No wonder I felt like death the past two weeks. Hit at a lovely time right at finals and projects too. Hopefully all will be well in time for winter break...if I'm able to get a clutch broken in fast enough to install the Vortech this winter.

Im torn between not hording shitola and what I should bother saving and whats going right into the trash... So far the front bumper the stock intake, all the inside plastic pieces and the fender liners have all just gone to the trash. I just made a craigslist add so if I get half of what I listed sold off it will be a success.
Just got busy with work. I also picked up a 2005.5 A4 and started upgrading that now I decided to do some more work on the Z so I can take it to the track next spring/summer. The car put down around 567HP on the JWT 700 turbos. Going to do some upgrades on that setup and see what we can get out of the little DE motor.
Good numbers. I made 8psi (438whp) with my v2 setup on. I think I'm going to switch to a 34/28 cog pulley setup when I put the v7 on. Should be a mild increase that should make up for the lag I will feel going to a massive blower.
And from there we will just see how the stock block feels about it

Yeah you got to be careful when adding power to these motor. Its crazy that the power we were hoping to get out of these cars when i first got it is now the hp some of these new cars put out from the factory.
New cars blow my mind. While I will beat a 5.0 coyote mustang, they really aren't that far behind me depending on the driver. It doesn't take much to have a new $30k car putting over 400whp while still on the warranty

My wifes AWD juke would have been a beast of a car if it had come out in 01... These days its just a normal grocery getter. I cant really think of a new car that I would actually want to buy even if I could afford it.
Time to get rid of some of the parts for the Z, Be on the look out in the market place once i get some good pictures. I think its time to change up the look I think the wheels radio and speaker box is going to go.
