Was that a pelican blue pre-facelift B5 A4 parked in the garage?

yessir, that is my roomates

At some point i tore the car back apart, raised the suspension as high as it would go, and then shipped it to Dallas where i would be moving. Arrived at my new place


Waiting for room to open at the fab shop, i wrapped all my interior plastics in carbon fiber


Car came back from getting intercooler piping, water hardlines, trans mount, and some other small stuff. I was happy with the work that late apex fabrication and race prep did.










As i requested, they chopped the excessive mounts and lowered the engine close to another inch in the front. This allowed it to clear the stock hood with the skeleton cut when using a stock ignition setup.

got my flywheel and adapter plate in from collins performance this week. very high quality and fit was perfect on the adapter plate!





all the plate to engine bolts are provided and the trans to plate bolts can be found at any hardware store.


bolted to the engine






tight squeeze, this would not have been possible without a load leveler


shes in! the transmission clears the side of the tunnel with minimal massaging. Currently the engine is farther forward and not pitched correctly as the back top of the trans (right after the black cover) is sitting on the top of the tunnel. the seam in the engine bay also needs to be notched. When i pull it back out i have to do more massaging or might open it up alittle.


gonna order my single turbo manifold this week and pickup my clutch and some maintenance items for the engine before i put it back in for the final time
