Audi project Update

These are the 3 different choices I'm looking at for the new wheels going on the car. Whichever one gets chosen will be 18x8 front and 18x10 rear. The car is obviously a Quattro so the tires are still "to be determined" to maintain constant overall diameter and not interfere with the upgraded suspension. But a staggered layout will look amazing as well as give unreal handling and stability in a track atmosphere.

Audi project Update

Well the Audi's coming apart now. It's actually farther along now than this shows. It's also not in the location pictured, anymore either. I've moved it to the house in B-ville. I've got it down to the engine and T-belt exposed. (T-belt is Timing belt for those not familiar with car lingo)
The headlamps are gone and core support is off and all are being refinished and repaired/parts replaced. The engine and trans are coming out next. Lots of pics of that. I'm going to be installing a number of performance upgrades at that time.


Upgrades:
PES Supercharger System (includes Software, Injection upgrade, Full engine harness, Pulley system, and related)
Leistritz Stainless Headers and full 3" Cat-delete exhaust system
Level 10 performance "The Animal" Trans install (this is a post all by itself)
Electric fan conversion
HID Bi-Xenon conversion
French yellow HID Fog lamp conversion

The suspension and sub-frame assy's all come off with the eng/trans since it is being done on the ground. So the suspension will be upgraded and repaired to new spec at that time as well.
More pics to come.

Still sick.

Well, I am officially tired of being sick. Seriously irritating. No fever at all so can't be flu or at least the swine kind. Whew! Kelly an Tyler must have serious immune systems, as they are totally unaffected. Loaded on meds, but only subdues the symptoms...ugh.

It's a good thing Kelly has such a fetish for Disney movies (we have them all), as Tyler and Emmy have discovered them and we are watching them in succession. So far they watched Little Mermaid, Cars, Toy Story 1, all in one afternoon. Now we are on Monsters Inc. and we'll see what's next.

I know, I know. Too much TV. Well, It's soaking wet outside, and is raining all day, so TV entertainment it is. They have their toys all over and I guess we'll take naps here in a little while.
It's like the little crab from Mermaid says, "Hmmph, Kids. You give them an inch, and they swim all over." (in Jamaican voice)

Plus, unless they are bleeding or dying, I'm too sick to really care much. Is that bad???
They are happy and fed, so as long as they don't fight, I'm cool.

Well I'm gonna go lay out on the "sick couch" and watch Monsters. Have a good one.

Ugh. Sick as a dog. With non-pig flu. (hopefully)

Well today is #2 in the "sick at home" status. I tried to go to work to "make the effort" but boss-man said "Get out of here and stay away from me!" So I'm at home again. What sucks is, I work in Brandon which is 50 miles 1 way so, 1/4 tank of gas spent in Cabrio. Oh well.

I stopped by the store for much needed meds and other groceries and so it'll be an easy 4 day weekend on the couch or in the bed. Kelly and Ty need to stay away from me. Emmy is already sick too, so we can hang out together and get well.

Maybe I'll see what I can do with this site today.

This is a project I am getting ready to start on. It started as Kelly's Audi A6 Avant Quattro. The transmission gave up 2.5 yrs ago and it has been sitting ever since in my garage. She no longer drives it and I want to... so I am going to re-do it as I do all the cars I drive. I will post as it goes.

My first post!!

Hey this is Brian! I've finally decided to get into blogging... hehe. I go by zymol75 on many forums and other sites. Kelly sometimes goes by vwchk.

This is going to be about our life, family and friends, and related stuff.
Kelly will be posting here too. We have 3 kids and live in Brooksville Florida. We both grew up in Tampa.

I am a "car nut" and work for VW as a Technician. I am ASE Master Certified and VW Certified 2002-2010. My first car I built was a 72 Mustang Mach 1 but I have had VW's ever since. The funny thing is, I still have every car I have ever driven except 1, my first vdub, an 86 16V Scirocco. Kelly says I can take any conversation and turn it around to reflect cars in some way. hmmm. Maybe I AM psycho.

Kelly is an artist and somewhat of a scientist. She is my best friend and Love of my life!! She can post about herself in more details as she sees fit. I'll continue about me.

I can be somewhat abrasive and dead-set in my views but am generally easygoing and try to see all sides of an argument even if my opinion is unswayed. I am Christian, Conservative, Pro-Family, Pro-guns, Pro-Marriage as 1 man 1 woman, and other currently unpopular "titles" in today's atmosphere. Enough of that.

I love my kids and am totally awed by them and the things they do. They are my most important assignment in life. I probably will talk about them often.

I am almost positive I will post something Kelly will feel I shouldn't have, so you may read something posted one day, that is gone the next. I will have to update the "Discretion Meter software" in my head for sure if I am going to continue this.

I will try to post updates daily or close to it on our lives for those interested or curious. I am sure I will post on current events too. Kelly may or may not post as much or often. That's up to her. I am into Volkswagen and Audi products immensely and will probably talk about car stuff often. I will try to keep it un-boring, but sometimes the details of my rants are funny. I am no comedian by any means but I CAN be funny sometimes. My youngest brother is really funny through a dry wit that I did not inherit. Too bad.

Ok, on with the countdown...
