Got the carbs on, exhaust bolted on. Scared the shit out of me when I got it running and it started revving right up to 4grand, then I realized I messed something up with the linkage. Had to pull one carb and sort it out. After I figured that out, I managed to get it to idle decently. Still need to actually tune mixtures, but I need to insure it and go to a parking lot to rev it up a bit. Drives like poop now. When the weather turns, ill get her back on the road for the season.

The video doesn't quite give the throatiness of real life, but it works.

Sounds awesome. God I need to pick up an older project car.

Been looking at 240's and 510's. I just have no room or time to do anything myself with it, and I'm not buying a project like that just to farm out all the work, cause that's just bullshit.

So in the meantime I lie in wait, keeping an eye out for the perfect vehicle and the right time before I can start.

Yeah I think a dirty slow idle will do that haha. I think it had it idling at around 700rpm. 850 is it's happy spot.

I actually have my buddy interested in the little 521. The thing that makes me sway away from it is the j15 engine, I thought it had an l16 which parts are much easier to find. Cool little truck though.

Decided I really need to start moving on the Audi if I'm going to ever get it out of the garage. As per typical on this car, I began the weekend with a long list of items I was hoping to accomplish. Then the problems hit. Keep in mind that this is a 1990 Audi, running bunch of european-market-only parts, and turbo motor swap from another rare Audi...one does not simply go to Lordco for bits and pieces. Saturday morning went something like this:

- wrong rear brake rotors, can't mount the caliper carriers.
- wrong front brake rotors, interfering with Porsche calipers
- Spare axles are the wrong ones, which means my torn boot fix wasn't going to be fast or easy.

...so I went to Timmies.

Came back, and decided I'd really rather work on the '58 Beetle...but the Audi is taking it's space in the garage, so I better just buckle down.

Mounted the oil cooler. Made up some oil cooler lines. Discovered that the fittings I have for cooler won't actually fit the lines I have. Son of a ****! Apparently I need to re-think this. Oh, also discovered that the -10AN lines now take up the space I had planned for the electric power steering pump. Arrrggg. Well, the cooler is welded in where it will actually get a bit of airflow, so the power steering pump is just going to have end up elsewhere.






Figured out the final adapters for the fuel lines, and mocked those up. Despite having a plastic tote full of AN fittings, I seem to lack the 90-deg ones I need to finish this job.


Took the front rotors over to a buddy's lathe, and cut the diameter down the two-hundred thou so that they'll clear the Porsche calipers. This is a bit weird, as I'm only working on a 'interim' brake solution between the stock brakes (which I don't actually have) and the eventual Porsche 996 big-brake upgrade. These calipers here are 944 rears, which are a slight step up from the stock front caliper, and will eventually find themselves on the rear of this car.


Sorted out the rear brakes, finally. I had ordered in 1996 A4 Quattro rear brake rotors (moved from 4x108 to 5x112 on this car), not realizing that European A4's and NA a4's had different rotor offsets. Took those back and managed to find the correct offset units on the shelf, from a 2007 A4 quattro. Of course the factory ebrake cables won't work for the setup that I've chosen, but I made an educated guess on which ones will work...and we'll see tonight if I'm correct.


Both front and rear required a small selection of spacer washers to get it all centred and fitting correctly, so it was back to the lathe to make single-piece spacers, which is always better than using multiple washers. Maybe tonight I'll get everything bolted up for good and actually bleed the brake system.

Car tripped a p0171 code today. Too lean. Could be either my intake, catch can or just a random glitch. Reset everything, the code is gone now hopefully it won't pop up again

Looked at the ITR closer again yesterday while at the body shop. Repairs look like an abortion covered in jelly beans(Dayglo reference) . It will remain there until it's fixed correctly but IMO the job would need to be completely redone in order to satisfy me. Had I known the repairs would look like they do I regret not taking the weak payout when I had the chance

If you're going to get into it, do it now, because the price of older Datsuns is climbing fast.

A 432R just sold for $250,000, not quite the base model Z that most people have, but it sets a bar.

I washed my car for the first time in 6 months today. Turns out there actually was a car under the mud.


And after a year, headlights are still un-fucked.

Wednesday night I finally got to bleeding the brakes and clutch on the coupe quattro project. That motive brake bleeder has paid for itself in just two uses…can’t believe I’ve been working on cars for 17 years and just bought one. Brakes pedal feels awesome, and the clutch felt great for three strokes. Then the 25 year old flex line blew out. Sweet!


After blowing out the clutch line the other night I discovered that replacement lines are no longer available, and they use a 12mm x 1.0 fitting. Now, true, I didn’t check the Stealership for the line, but on a 25yr old car I’m not expecting the dealer to have good pricing! Normally I’d just convert the line to -3AN and it would be a quick job, but the 12mm adapter fittings are no longer made. Gonna have to squeeze -4AN in there, which means the slave cylinder had to come out of the car. Figured while it was out, I might as well make a bleed line that goes somewhere actually accessible.


Then it was time to put the slave back in, upon which time I remembered why I always do this job with the engine out of the car. Finally got the slave in, and then had to wrestle the line onto the master cylinder. This photo shows the access I had available, and that fitting uses a 9/16” wrench.


Waiting on one more fitting to finish the bleed line, so it was off to a buddies lathe to an adapter for my intake. The factory tubing coming off the turbo is metric, and all the rest of my stuff is imperial. An adapter made, which I’ll have TIG welded to the elbow. Some more playing in the shop, and the outlet side of the intercooler piping is sorted. Again, more TIG welding needed before it’s truly finished.



Getting closer to starting this beast...

Its maintenance time for my 1997 LX450. Took out my rad today. Tomorrow, I'm doing the water pump. Next is all new hydraulic and cooling lines and new fan clutch.
