Hello All
So Im a noob to this forum but not new to SE-R's. This is my second.
After a 4 year enlistment in the Army and a tour of Iraq, I took a brief hiatus with
a pearl tip B5 A4 1.8TQ. After swapping my second turbo (in 6 mos) in the unreliable car, I decided to sell that heavy a*s auto and get back in the lovely classic.

I recently just picked up AtomicBomberMan's california born B13. Thanks Sam!
This car is in great shape overall, and just needs some minor tweaking in a couple areas. So Im doing something i failed to do in the Audi. Take Pictures. Im going to try and document everything i do to this one.

Im building this B13 with a goal of 300whp or better. But Im trying to fix all the little things first and get this thing in tip top shape. Ive got a CEL now that im troubleshooting at the moment, I have a broken vac line off the EGR thats been temporarily plugged, but no change. I just picked up a BB Manifold thats heading to TRG for powdercoating and then installed (VC also). Hopefully that will solve the CEL. If not, ill just have to dig in some more.

This White Classic definitely has some bright horizons ahead.
Ive enclosed a link to the maint/upgrade history since I took ownership
and will continue to update every time i touch the car.

So next is decisions. T25? T28? Disco?
Im definitely looking for fast spool. Of course ball bearing.
Any input would be appreciated.

Well, Just wanted to introduce myself and Im glad to be a part of the fam again.
See you all at the next meet!

liupj - Yeah I bought Sams whip...Im glad he decided to do every upgrade on it the right way...At least well researched...Just makes my job easier. And yes it does have S3's...Love em.

1QKB13SE-R - Thanks for the compliments...Ill be taking some "all car" pics soon once all the minor body work is done, very minor dents pulled, and car buffed, clearcoated, and painted (bumper covers, skirts, grill). Should shine alot better.

Note: The picture site is always being updated with new shots.

Dont drive it during the winter or yet another will fall victim to road salt/rust.
