    first we had our way with the exhaust, from my local muffler shop Babe's Lightning...
    did custom Y-pipe mini resonator collector into a straight thru magnaflow can.




    ...big thanks to kurt as always.

    Matt at oCarbon is doing the interior trim...

    here is the first phase of the early stages:




    he let us pick from their array of weaves and went with a thick "plain" weave you don't see often.

    timing kit went in on black friday at 034 motorsport and went as smooth as it could on a 4.2...


    ...and even got around to a DBC/034 sourced control arm kit install.


    a LONG day to say the least!

    wrapped up the motor side of the exhaust yesterday, finishing off the fully custom header back system.
    starting with 2x2.5" 250 cel 034 Motorsport high flow cats, we then plumbed down to the current cat-back we did a couple weeks back.
    034 also supplied O2 bungs and sensor spacers we fabbed in helping avoid any CEL issues while maintaining smogability.

    Damn, I would have used your guy for the re-threading of our B8's Tip shift knob. I have a feeling I got charged a bit too much over at Bascom Upholstery.

    wow:


    ryan at brothers in arms completely tore down my factory S8 wheel, rewrapped it in perforated alcantara, and stitched this wheel...he even went to far as to strip and repaint a weathered S8 badge I was stuck with.
    TOP NOTCH WORK...just wait till the carbon trim is installed for the interior shot.

    please, email me regarding ryan's services and I will get you a pricing program and contact information!
