When I was ~13years old, wanted bmw e30 with 5cylinder Audi's engine, combination of look and soundThe 5 cylinder has a nice sound of its own. Not VR6 but nicer than many 4 cylinders.
Bump!Ok, I’ve just order an Audi cup holder as well. Couldn’t help myself. Lookforjoe, any progress on your install? Bobcat, any more detailed pics of install? Just curious....
Bump!
bobkat, any help would be appreciated...
Aha! Good point on the sway bars etc. That can account for a bumpy ride...thanks for the response and insight and taking the time to look through your photos. I do still like the cup holder design so I think I’ll try working it in somehow...I went back through the photos and unfortunately I did not take any photos of the install of the cup-holder. In hind site it may not be a great place for it on a stock trany and stock shifter. It will be fine with the VAG swap and short shifter. I wish I used one of the same style phone/coin/MP3 player versions. It may have been more useful. I did put a cup holder in the armrest and that works great and would benefit from one of the Audi style as it is much sturdier than the style I used.
Right now I just use the holder for the remote for the Head unit and in the future I may take a run at cutting that down and making it a permanent retractable control. Or find another one that will fit.
I also find not with the wheel and tires, sway bars and coilovers I am driving the car much harder than I thought I would and no cup holder is up to that task.,
This is the remote I have and it has a cup holder adapter on the bottom. It would be nice to have it retract out on that Audi mechanism.
Cutting up one of this style would work also.
Spent the day carpeting the frunk and the trunk. Rear was the hardest. Lots of funky shapes. For the frunk I added retracting tie-downs and a mesh from Audi.
here are some before and after.
Nice detail work! I guess Audi is to you what Volvo is to me
I have a couple tie down cargo meshes from an old Volvo - smaller - I'll have to see if it fits cleanly in my trunk, that's where it would be practical for me as I always travel with a 1/4" drive tool kit in the X
I have something similar. I also want daytime driving lights and bought those eagle eye LEDs to use. But I'm mounting them behind the grill for a little more 'stealthy' look. All of the holes are already filled as part of the redesigned nose, otherwise that would be an option.I wanted to run some daytime running lights but didn’t want to add big lights to the front.
Funny about those cargo retainer nets, I have a couple of them that I bought new about 20 years ago but never mounted in any of my cars. Always seemed like a good idea for several of my vehicles but just never got around to it. On the other hand I've also had a few cars that came with it (German car makers often include it), but never really used the net. I tend to not carry any spare stuff in my cars so there isn't a lot of need for the net. I remember my dad was the type that always had a full service facility and a complete car in spare parts in the trunks of all of his vehicles, but never needed any of it. So I guess I am the opposite of him.
So true. Unfortunately that doubles the total weight of the car.
