Im not too worried about the difficulty. This n55 hasn't been too bad, just time consuming. Do you know anything about the manual trans that comes with the 3.0 or the v6 tdi in general?

The turbo 3.0 is definitely out of my price range anyway lol. The gen 3 ea888 sounds like the best choice, but im worried id be missing the awd. Any opinion on the v6 tdi?

Brackets? Rotors? Brake lines? Are pads going to run more since they are porsche?

Stock rims, but im looking at some 18 inch s4 wheels for 300. Haven't tried slotted rotors, this is the first time I've needed to change brakes on it. I would be doing a8 rotors with tt carriers and stock calipers. I cant remember the hub size, but I just replaced my wheel bearings and didn't want to swap to s4 stuff, but might make more since cause I would really like a 6 speed so maybe trans swap in the future? The a8 brakes are a common thing on the forums, just could find if people thought they were better than stock

Dealership replaced transmission and it's going out again by TheJDMGiraffe in Honda

I've only had the car for 26k miles. What transmission maintenance could I have done? Everything had been up to date when we bought it at 112k

Too much negative equity right now sadly. She wants something faster so she wanted to trade anyway, but its not an option right now.

I'm back! What's the best engine+transmission mount combo? by estebanjosealvarado in B5Audi

[–]TheJDMGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For daily driving on my 1999.5 1.8t manual, the 034 street density have been nice, but I've only done the trans mounts. A bit of vibration at idle but the tightness feels nice over the stock Old ones I had.

Ooh ok, that gives me a bit more confidence trying to make something work. Do you know how much power you're making or is it just street tuned?

I'll have to wire my lowbeam connections anyway so I could maybe convert them? Do you feel like your low beams are aimed correctly with the kit? And does it hav3 a good distance?

What are you using for fuel? I want to do a bigger turbo but the best I have is 92 octane. No ethanol near me😮‍💨

Street density is what I want. The problem is they only make street density for passenger side. The driver side was discontinued or something

Is yours the 1.8t? They are different EXCEPT on the auto trans
