TCM GLX's 2013 Q5 2.0T build

[Mops@Nemesis]

Rubber overload! 🙏🏼

Such a great smell. We need to develop rubber and gasoline inspired colognes 😁

Both look great!

Looks nice and meaty. The Titanium Machine on white looks so clean

MTC is all your fault... I remmeber when I thought 285 on 9.5 was wide.. HA!

Titanium Machine is no doubt one of the best finishes ever... really wish people could see in person what this looks like, so hard to photograph properly!

21 and MTC looks so good. I wish I could find some not as expensive 21's that can take 295s. :(

TSW, Zito, Niche all make 21x10.5 under $1500 for a set of four brotha.... Niche Essen in my opinion is one of the sweetest looking out there.

I can help you out with that. Got some Stasis SE12's in anthracite (gun metal).
They're 21 x 10 ET+30 and they have nearly-new Vredestein Ultrac Vorti in 295/35 flavor.
I actually have 6 of them (spares) for $1200, but shipping them would be crazy.

Damn your down to 1200 on that!!! That’s a steal.

That's definitely a steal! I think i'm going to expand my search to 20's as well. The 295's are just so delicious!

Not much to note. Keep driving it. Keep living it. Decided to pull the trigger on a Neuspeed Power Module. Just clicked 70k miles so will do new plugs and coil packs too. A complimentary pic

@tcmglx, the ride is looking good always. You've consistently had one of the best looking Qs on here IMHO.

You guys are too kind....I’m itching for another upgrade, Any suggestions?

Planning to keep the 103s for a while longer?

I feel like the S mirror caps would play very well with your current look.

[19birel]

+1 on the S mirror caps idea! Those would really tie it all together

Any idea as to why the Nuespeed module didn't work?While I've mostly heard good things about it, I have heard a couple people make that complaint which worries me since I had planned on picking one up for the B8.5 A4 this summer...

daymmmmm!!! Everything is beautiful but I'll suggest s-line lower grille inserts before new mirror caps. They'd match the honeycomb grille and really bring together the front end

Yes on the 103s until you can entice me with something else.....

Oh that might work!

Neuspeed said they had some glitching with some B8.5 models....sucks cause I was excited about it.

[mkasperzak]

love those two shots, squeaky clean. think both the alu mirror cap and S-line lower grilles would look great. looks outstanding in its current form, but understand sometimes you gotta scratch that itch

[tcm glx]

Wow, been a while since I have posted. Q5 is running strong and now has a new garage neighbor.

2018 Q7 3.0 PP White on Nougat! Super pumped, wifeys dream car

https://flic.kr/s/aHsmGaDkpK

[SQDwrd]

Congrats on the Q7 I've been a huge fan of the new gen Q7 since they make out! White on Nougat always plays nice together. Stumbled onto your thread but absolutely love your set up! Your current VFF 21" what are you run for et, 21x10.5 all round? The fit is perfect IMO!

Thanks! Yes 21x10.5 all around. Et34 with a 5mm spacer all around for final offset of et29. 295/35/21 Conti Dws06. I really love the combo as well.

Why is it our wives like the big SUVs, while we prefer the smaller, more sportier ones?

For me, that's a rhetorical question. . .still loving my B8.5 and will probably drive the wheels off of it.

Gracias. Perfect family cruiser, rides great. I was a little disappointed, I was gonna go 305/35/22 for maximum rubber, but got a smokin deal on some Q8 take off tires (285/40) and when I looked up the specs, it’s pretty darn wide so went that route. A little extra sidewall protection for the wife was a win as well.

Anyhow, next up is SQ rear roof spoiler and then enjoy.

[tcm glx]

Still have the Q, about to hit 80k miles!

[19birel]

Nice! Any new mods since the last update? Did you end up getting a tune?

I did buy the Neuspeed tune, and it kept popping up a check engine, was really disappointed so returned it and haven’t done anything else since. Just drive it. I am on the hunt for a SQ5 roof spoiler.

SQ5 roof spoiler will look pretty sweet.

Shame the Neuspeed didn't work out. I'm testing the new JB4 on my B8.5 A4 and the difference is night and day performance wise. Whether you opt for a flash tune or another piggyback style tune I can't recommend it enough on these 2.0Ts. They feel perfectly adequate stock, but man they can scoot with some extra boost.

Is the JB4 a tune? Or piggyback?

[19birel]

It's a piggyback, plugs into your MAP sensor, N75, and OBDII port

Not sure when it will be released officially, but based on the results in the 30-60mph thread it's every bit as quick as the flash tuned cars & very smooth.

[tcm glx]

Wow. Haven’t updated this in a while, still have it, still love it!

Any new mods on the horizon?

None really planned, possibly looking at doing 10.25” RSNav screen. Other than that I just continue to enjoy it. She will be do for new rubber soon. I keep thinking about going back to. 20” tire setup with a BBS CHR or something like that…..but haven’t really gotten serious about that since I still love the fitment on the VVF-103s.

RSNAV looks really nice, I have been considering it myself to bring my interior back up to date in my A4 (and so I can stop using my phone for Waze haha) CHRs would definitely look amazing, but I can see why you're not too tempted to change you current setup

[tcm glx]

Pulled the trigger on the Xtrons 10.25” head unit. Will snap some pics.

Major props to Audizine members who helped ,e trouble shoot some settings I could not figure out.

[tcm glx]

I need to take some pics….car is running great ! Just got 85k miles. Did a few mods…
As mentioned above did the Xtron 10.25” Carplay Screen, just replaced the rubber with brand new Conti DWS06 and scooped up a SQ5 Roof Spoiler. Will try and snap some pics this week.
