How'd you get a lava firewall blanket, I thought they stopped making those.

I don't know. I just looked and I ordered it 10/27/2017

Don't remember, but are you going to be running any sort of accusump?

I scratched it for now. Car has been down too long, need to get it back on the road. Duration of project has become ridiculous.

That really shouldn't be much time to add on, and if you're planning on running the tires you've mentioned I would VERY HIGHLY recommend you not get on track without one.

Oh man bon qui qui you are killin me..... I will put it back on the list, don't want any oil starvation after all of this.

Just trying to make sure you're doing things right! You really don't want to have any starvation issues with a freshly built engine and all that grip you're gonna have from the good suspension and tires.

I appreciate your sage advice and experience.

More pics from today.
Firewall blanket goes in and Tubular Front control arms go in. Wrestling with the 034 endlinks not sure if we can use them yet. May actually be too long.

Not using aluminum spindles?

Not using aluminum spindles?

You mean the Passat spindles? Are there any fitment issues?

I will move to them if they don't present any new issues for me along with 2 piece rotors.

You cant run Passat spindles with 18Z calipers (ask me how I know). You would need TT spindles and either a TT rack to match or an assortment of other VAG parts to make the spindles work with a MKV rack
