Progress = Time + Money (Pssst...passed you's Timeline Thread)

[Pssst...passed you]

My friends that have a welder are a city or two away, not worth the gas to take it over nor have the time.

OIl Cap cover broke:

[_FUBAR_]

thats beat. never seen that before. R8 upgrade.

[Pssst...passed you]

Yeah, it was a hand laid Carbon fiber cap a buddy made, it broke after years.

The r8 one is really sweet

[Pssst...passed you]

If i could afford the R8 cap and other mathing caps i would, doubt that is happening though. not spending that much on caps.

[Shameless]

They really should make them cheaper. It's only like 10 bucks worth of resource and time to make one.

[Pssst...passed you]

Like anything, the logo/name on the product dictates the cost.

I will see about fixing it or go back to the stock one for now, i have a considerable amount to spend on this car just to get what i have purchased already onto the car by spring. Need to stay focused...

[Pssst...passed you]

Easy out method failed. Popped the heads clean off.

Looks like a little more work is needed to get these wheels ready for media blasting and refurb time.

[Shameless]

How the hell did a titanium head pop clean off. damn.

[Pssst...passed you]

I am hella strong.

[fukn_dubn_gti]

Oops.... Lol so what's plan b?

[Pssst...passed you]

If i could get the face to pop out there should be enough of a stud to grab and yank them out. just have to figure out how to get the face to pop off. Maybe need to drill them out a little more.

[fukn_dubn_gti]

What wheels did u get?

Two or three piece?

[Pssst...passed you]

They are the Stock BBS RXII Wolfsburg wheels 16X6.5" 2 piece. Refurbing to run as my winters and sell my recently refurbihsed beetle steelies or sell outright and buy adapters and tires for my X5 wheels.

[Pssst...passed you]

Wheel has been outsourced. Dropped it at the machine shop over lunch today. I am tired of messing with it and want to move forward.
