Thumbs up

Yeah, That was my C32
I tried to post the video but couldn't find people to host the it.
His S4 was chipped along with exhaust and some other work done to it.
First run he could not get the car into first gear that's why I smoked him. Second run he did better.
His car ran 13.4 in the 1/4

Pierre32,

Dealer paid for the E55 Valve Body. A while ago my tranny was all messup due to the radiator fluid found inside my tranny. Dealer replace the most updated valve body which is the same as the 04 E55 valve body.
also the control unit.

Thanks for the great instruction on all the DIY upgrades. They are very detail and very informative.

You are awesome

amgc32,

I noticed in your signiture that you have painted grills, I was wondering if you needed to strip the chrome off before its painted(my bodyshop told me that the paint won't stick unless the chorme is stripped first).

yeah, you need to separate the chrome and the black plastic frame.
In the process you might break few clips, but it'll still hold pretty good when you put them together.

amgc32,

I am actually talking about how well the paint sticks to the chrome surface without first refinishing the chrome. Does the paint peel off on the grill after you get a few rock chips?

Are we talking about throttle body here(valve body?)?

what's the difference between the E55 valve body and the C32 valve body? if they are competible wouldn't that makes them the same.

btw, with the ODP and chip, what number are you looking at the crank and wheel? did you remove the resonator? sounds great.

I am sure it does, or maybe an even more updated valve body.
