Finally got this thing started! Really made a huge difference. Pulls hard, will burn out, and get loose between gears. Needs a little tuning tomorrow, and some other little stuff. Then build a hood scoop and we're done! Only running 5 psi right now, and it is much, much faster.

whats up with the audi?

Twisted Minis · April 27, 2011, 07:18:05 AM

Alternator died. Apparently with all of the electronics, you have about 8 minutes of drive time on a full battery once the alternator quits before it cuts out and dies. Gauges shut down first. Then the drive by wire at a light. Had to let the clutch out at idle and limp across an intersection at 4 MPH into a parking lot and wait for 5 hours. I've had like zero problems with my car until about a month ago, then all kinds of little stuff. Oh well. I'll be tearing it apart again to do turbos soon.

Twisted Minis · April 27, 2011, 09:18:49 AM

Here is the culprit.

Only lasted twice as long as an American part...

I.D.G.A.F · April 27, 2011, 05:08:03 PM

Is that electric fan stock?

Twisted Minis · May 02, 2011, 09:23:52 AM

Ya, my car has two electric fans and one clutch fan from the factory.

Twisted Minis · May 02, 2011, 12:01:49 PM

Congradulations. Where is her picture??

Twisted Minis · May 04, 2011, 09:41:48 AM

Idk if I should post her picture on here. That never seems to go well on the internet.

Congrats!

46&2 · May 05, 2011, 06:44:45 PM

Congrats. No pressure to post her picture, but maybe some day add a pic to the "truck with your woman" post. At least this isn't Pirate...

Twisted Minis · May 06, 2011, 07:09:10 AM

Ya, I thought about that, once my truck is running. Right now it would have to be with my car. Stupid truck, on the back burner.

And ya, I never would post a picture on pirate.

topar · May 15, 2011, 07:15:45 AM

Congratulations, get all your toys before you get married because you will not after!

Twisted Minis · May 18, 2011, 11:20:57 PM

Lol she wants her own toys, and is stoked for Stage III on the Audi.

Those are the best. Mine wants a SAS on her extra cab, I'm trying to sway her on long travel IFS.

THK Matt · May 19, 2011, 09:36:55 AM

Long Travel IFS would be sick as hell dude. I may go that route on my 4Runner. but we'll see. If my 4runner holds out til next tax season... SAS may be in its future. but it won't get hacked or anything til i have absolutely every to do it in one weekend. i will put my tubes and hanger on before then though. Facebook IM me Nick. lol

Im interested in seeing how your Audi turns out TM. and Congradulations on getting Engaged.

Twisted Minis · May 23, 2011, 01:36:35 PM

My friend is building a crazy long travel IFS 4WD first gen 4Runner right now.

I have been working on this frame again.

THK Matt · May 23, 2011, 07:17:46 PM

Long travel would be awesome, but i wouldnt use its potential up here.

Damn that frame is SICK DUDE!

Dingman. · May 23, 2011, 09:20:40 PM

Your work has always been awesome man, keep up the nice work!!!!

Twisted Minis · May 30, 2011, 08:47:15 PM

Here is the frame at the show.

And me and the fiance. Couldn't get her to take a pic with the truck the other day when she was helping at the shop. She said some other time when she isn't covered in grease. Also I was crouching, shes a good foot shorter than me. And she made me promise to point out that there is no make up in these pics if I showed anyone.

HxCmudBogger · May 30, 2011, 08:56:35 PM

Dig the murderd out wedding band. Way sick. Congratulations too $Beer Chug\'n$

46&2 · May 30, 2011, 09:10:24 PM

Natural beauty, congrats again man!

$Beer Chug\'n$

Twisted Minis · May 30, 2011, 09:13:32 PM

Thanks guys! I like mine a lot, its black Tungsten. Thought it was cool since I weld with Tungsten, and generally wear all black. Figured I would dress like ol Johnny Cash for the wedding, and the ring just fits.

Here is a clearer shot of her engagement ring.

She wants her wedding band to match mine. So I found a black Tungsten ring, same diameter as that ring above.

Here is show coverage of the frame.

BUDDERS · May 31, 2011, 10:22:51 AM

That's a sick frame....Hope it gets powdercoated like your last first gen.

Also, your girl doesn't need makeup. She's a natural beauty like my wife. The no makeup thing is a time saver too............trust me!

Twisted Minis · May 31, 2011, 02:39:20 PM

Thanks man. And the plan so far is for the frame itself to be silver powder coat. Not sure on the rest, haven't gotten any ideas out of the owner yet. Hoping to steer him away from orange this time.

And thanks again. I like her without makeup, but she seems to worry about it yet. I think she looks just as good without it.

Also, where you still trying to sell your 2WD extra cab?
