100% lmao

As soon as I got around the pcv bung I started noticing it going south. Almost decided to stop but meh it's a track car, doesn't need to be pretty. I laughed out loud at how bad it looked when I was done [emoji23][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]

Had RS3 before these, they discontinued those and replaced with the RS4

Do these do well as a daily summer tire or are they better for tracking? Got a set of new Konigs for super cheap and trying to decide on a good summer tire without breaking the bank.

There's much better street tires out there. These have a very stiff sidewall and take some heat in them before they start gripping.

+1

these (extreme perf) tires are more performance dedicated for track/autox, etc. You can def street drive them, but they will be louder and wear quicker than say a max summer perf tire.

Finally got around to working on it. Valves looked really good for 85k miles. Still did a quick carbon cleaning on it.

Finally got to finish it and just in time. Dropped down to 20 degrees and I was only running water with no coolant. Manifold and water pump were kind of a pain to get off. I was shocked at how clean my valves were. Water/meth and hooning ftw. Did a carbon cleaning regardless. New grad aluminum water pump on, new manifold and pcv gaskets, and new injector seals.

Had a bit of a scare on the first startup, was misfiring and wouldn't stay running. Realized quickly that I forgot to plug in the manifold plug for the boost tap o_O

Would you say removing the IM is totally necessary for a water pump job?

many say it's not necessary but honestly I think it would be a nightmare job without removing the manifold.
This shitbox driveable yet?
Almost, just need to get the bumper back on. It won't be driven until spring though #thanksillinois

That seems to also be the consensus of what I've found online, but I wanted your opinion too since you're really handy with this stuff. Just doing some preliminary research for when mine inevitably goes.
