Thanks guys, I know what you mean I feel the same way. Just picked up a set of rims and tires so that I can use on the "roller". I didn't want to roll on the Rivieras so I picked up these 996 Hollow Spoke Turbo Twist wheels. They are 18x8.5 F 18x11 R.

Well I have half a roller. Tomorrow I hope to bolt up front. Will be rolling by saturday. I'm really digging how the car looks with the extended wheel base. It puts the rear tire closer to the rear bumper and gives it a more cat like stance. I can't wait!!!!

Looks killer. What are your plans for the flares?

I second the call for mudflaps. It has a really cool dirt track modified look going on. You should keep it as is with some mud flaps.

Sorry, I don't see the milk crate so no points... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Seriously - what a COOL look! You have to be totally psyched to have it on wheels.
Congrats on a major milestone!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Sweet!! That's awesome!! Can't wait to see it at ride height with some flares!

Could you take a side profile shot? I'm just curious to see how far the rear wheels really are back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks Chip. Damn right I was going to be working on it. Thanks to you, I was able to get the wheels. Yes that Momo was a Christmas present.

I can't either. Flares are going to wait a little bit since I want to install motor and tranny and I still have to do the twist test. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Attached, just for you, is a profile showing the "extended wheelbase"

I just got back from California MotorSports in Lake Havasu Arizona after having them install the Wavetech LSD in the Cayman S 6 speed. I have been working on mating the trans and engine so Rudy and I know what to expect. If I work out those details it will speed along the process for him and he can focus on other parts of the build.
I have a Fidanza aluminum flywheel and an RS4 clutch package. First there is a 1" thick spacer on the crank face of engines that came from an Automatic equipped car, I put steel rod in the holes and tapped it a little while going from hole to hole, popped right off. Warm up the flywheel so the hole grows enough to slip over the crank locating boss. The bolt holes will only line up one way, they are not equally spaced. If you warm the flywheel to about 180/200 degrees on a hot plate it will give you time to align it with a bolt or two before it tightens up. Use the 1mm thick shim from the automatics flex plate in the same location under the bolts to prevent galling and help torque to correct specs.
I will make a drill fixture plate with bushings so that three stud holes can be drilled and tapped along the bottom of the G87.21 trans making it fully bolted to the Audi 2.7T.
It appears that the Cayman S trans has a boss that needs to be drilled out for the crank sensor. The boss is in the same location as the Audi manual transmission and I have seen it done on an Audi swap into a Boxster S in the UK.
We will need to use the transmission spacer from the Audi automatic trans that is 7/16" thick. The RS4 clutch disk fits on the Cayman S spline and the pilot shaft fits into the pilot bearing perfectly.
Now we just need to figure out the Vehicle Speed Sensor. Maybe something mounted on the CV joint. It is a magnet pulse type. Rudy has one from his parts Audi and I purchased the sensor and the pulse ring new. The pulse ring is smaller than a CV joint so we may have to try and replicate the pulse some how. Any electrical engineer types out there that know how to figure it out? Here is the basics of it.
http://forums.quattroworld.com/s4s6/msgs/228211.phtml
Maybe we can adapt the 996 abs sensor and reluctor ring to duplicate the pulse?
