Guess who just bought an S5 n/a short block with dynamic chamber and extension manifold
. Supposed to be here on Monday, coming from SC.
It'll still be a while before it's all together, but it'll be great to have a non-hypothetical engine sitting around. Maybe it'll motivate me to actually do stuff to the car
. I need to get my hands on an S5 LIM asap, though.
I also dropped off my water pump housing, water pump, and WP pulley at a stripping/blasting place yesterday, to get rid of all the crud and poorly applied paint. I figured they should look nice, since they sit front and center in the bay and all.
I've also decided that I'm going to embrace the 4-lug setup, rather than fussing over 5-lug swaps all the time. I'm sure the single-piston calipers are enough for an n/a, and the tires on the phone dials right now are actually pretty decent (and new).
