    Ohhh, so close! Got the wheel bearings done, axles in, and a few extra under-car BS things done...

    Ready to pull the car out of the garage for the first time under it's own power...and no reverse! Playing with the linkage some more, and got some helpful info from the JHM vids including how to fine tune...hoping to find that elusive reverse today!
    I did get a push out of the garage by my son, and forward feels fantastic...nice and easy clutch and no chatter/shudder at all on the hill in 1st gear or pulling up onto the ramps. I did install a used clutch (and SteveKen kit) from Jolio that had a few thousand miles on it already before he blew up his BCY URS6 monster and went v10...so far, so good!

    Update...couldn't wait for a day of work before figuring this out...did some re-adjusting and can now get reverse! Sure that my neighbors loved the straight pipe fire up at 7:30 this morning, but oh well, time to get their asses up to go to work anyway!

    They should be so lucky to start their day to that sound! If they complain you can remind them of their privilege to live adjacent to a prime example of the C5.

    Hah, so true! Seriously though, my neighbors are pretty cool about everything...and for the amount of tools and general mechanical knowledge that I share, they put up with me! I live in a neighborhood that has some waterfrontage on the Chesapeake Bay and we have a small marina with 49 slips (plus about 15 out of 100 homes that have their own piers), so with all of the boats, there's always something to fix...if you thought Audis were finicky, then get a boat!

    And on a side note, a big thanks to AudiPilot for the great deal on the headlights and diverter valves!

    My goal was to get the car out of the garage under it's own power by this weekend...my son's wedding is on Saturday, and I have lots of friends and family coming for an outdoor rehearsal dinner on Friday night at my house. I don't expect to have it totally finished, but my plan tonight is to get the front clip on and get some coolant in there so it can run for more than 20 seconds a day...this is probably my last evening to have some garage time before then, so fingers crossed!
