[s-cars] garage finshing/ bunch of suspension and exhaust questions

Wed Oct 20 23:05:12 EDT 2004

i think taka and i are on the same vibe. i saw teh question about what
do i do the floor in...
and if you wanna do it right.....then tile it. I woudl also tile about
3 feet of tile up the sides of the wall also.....so nice to wash a car
and have tiles around...just like my cars in a big shower!

:p

how do i respond to questions really easily? do most people get every
question or response  emailed to them....and then hit reply?

because i gotta say...
i have been a serious s head for the past 6 years...
and i just cant resist seeing a nice urs4 or s6 for sale and not buying it...
the result 4 s's
and i thought i knew alot about the car...

but honestly....after seeing what goes on here...

i know nothing!
so i'm throwing out all i know about this car....
to relearn...

i am going to start my 93 urs4 project asap.
so hopefully you guys will help out.

1)

1st order of business is suspension...
my suspension is totally shot.
ideal setup?
i really would love an adjustable kit.
sway bars underneath?
bushings?
anything i should know about?

2) exhaust.
the exhuast broke at the connection right before the resonator. so i
basically have 2 pipes resting on a bracket under my tranny. they
arent cut or damaged. I also have the the rear muffler...which is 
perfect. I want to just extend the 2 pipes where the resonator would
have gone and connect it to the muffler.....

my question is this.:
will i lose performance? noticably?
i am all stock right now. 

and thanks to you guys that helped me with my MAF issue.
i got the car running no problem. greased up that thing near the
intercooler hose..unplugged the MAF and car was feelin alright....for
now.
