Re: 94 TSi AWD - Reliable 11 second DD

Just to update.

Still been kind of ironing out the car. Ever since I bought it my shifter had odd play/movement in 5th gear. Then a couple weeks ago it started popping out of 5th when I let out the gas. Read that people find the nut on the end of their input shaft loose. So I popped the cover off my trans and sure enough, wasn't even finger tight. Thought I torqued it down good but apparently not, doing it again today + its spitting trans fluid. Must not of got a good RTV seal on the cover.

So tonight I'm going to try to pull the cover back off, re-seal it, re-torque the nut, and then in the morning after the RTV has dried I'll fill her back full of fluid.

I also got the V3 ECMLink installed, got a decent tune on it now - still needs fine tuning I will do at the track tomorrow (assuming this trans leak is just the cover seal and not a crack). Either way the car feels great at WOT again and can only get better if it doesn't blow up haha...

Also got all my GST wheels cleaned up and I re-sprayed them, not perfect but decent, got my street tires on them so I can quit tearing up the drag radials all the time.

Here are some random pics from the other day before I did the trans/gst wheels.






as the car sits now with the gst wheels and my street tires. Definitely doesn't look as good, but still looks better than it did with those swirls I bought it with!
