I haven’t posted anything since winter. Now its Fall and almost Winter again. I’ve made several new videos since my last post. Here are all the new vids. Enjoy.

Car videos:

I updated the video I posted yesterday because it was filmed at night and you couldn’t see anything. The video was unedited and really crappy looking. The new version, is filmed during the day so you can actually see stuff. I tried to edit this using iMovie on my MacBook, but imovie is so noob, that I don’t know how to use it. So I installed Final Cut and did it that way.

The video is still not very well edited. This is my first time using FC and it’s been 8 years since I’ve touched video editing software.

I don’t really care if the video does well on youtube, I made it for the people I know that wanted to hear what the JHM 2.5 inch exhaust sounded like on an Audi S4. In the video you will see that I need a new clutch pretty bad. After the first launch, or lack or launch, it smelt so bad. Lot of burning clutch. The second launch, I didn’t drop the clutch because it will probably hate me. Until I get a new VAST stage 3 clutch my launches are going to suck.

Enjoy the video, maybe soon, there will be another of my drifting my Audi this past winter in the snow. Check back soon. Thanks! Back to werking for coins.

white LEDs

Inspired by Lexus and BMW I decided to upgrade my rear license plate lights to white LEDs.

I thought it was really cool that BMW and Lexus did that, and liked the way it looked. The LED’s cost 6 dollars each. Pretty cheap and I am very happy with the look.

In this picture it looks very different. It’s pretty bright looking but on the car it looks bluer or HID looking.

samco tbb

I am waiting for some new clamps before I put this on. I have been noticing some miss fires and possible boost leaks. Audi’s stock TBB on the 2000 S4 was crappy. So they updated it in 2001 and made it better. Well that one still tore. I went the cheap route and got the Samco Silicone TBB for $68 over getting the APR Bi-pipe. The Bi-pipe is still not out of the question but it’s priced at $349 and requires a lot more work than this does. I figured I would replace this until I think about a different solution.

I almost got the Archtuning version 2 TBB because it was more stock looking and also made of silicone. It comes with very nice clamps that I purchased separately for this Samco install. I also heard that with the Samco TBB you can’t fit the front engine cover. I like that cover and would like to keep it on there. So maybe I should have gone with that at $169.

I want to replace my head lights with the Valeo E-codes and when that time comes maybe I will upgrade to the APR Bi-pipe if I think I need it. The installation of the bi-pipe requires that you take off the headlight housing making it a good opportunity to upgrade while I’m in there anyway.
