Ultra4 4600 VW Touareg V10 TDI Build

I cranked it yesterday and it tried to start, but the damn immobilizer that I thought I flashed away is still throwing a fit. It's only complaining on 1 ECU so I probably flashed the other one twice.
Fun stuff on cranking and stinks on immobilizers.
 
Also, it's a good thing I didn't go with Motec so I could keep the cost down while maintaining the simplicity of the stock ECUs and not waste time on things like.... well, this:

Those are the spots we raced out if the first few years I went. the "unusable land" area there is a mud pit when it rains, it's funny watching all the locals who never see mud just make a mess of their shit while we east coasters wonder at how clean our stuff stays in the west
 
That thing looks and sounds all kinds of awesome! I hope you do well.
 
You know I thought the same thing until I saw some of the welds in the current 4600 field. 👀

There's a handful of absolute shit welds. He no longer works here. :/

Also what's the second one pointing out?

It looks like that tube ends shy of making a full conection into the A pillar? Which brings up another point... is thay a pillar legal?

Also were you able to leave your inner fenders all factory?


Im genuinely not trying to shit talk, im the last person that should talk shit about someone elses fab.. its just that I really want to see this compete out on the lalkebed. I enjoy looking all over the out of the box builds 10× more then anything else
 
Oh, that's a sheet tie-in to the unibody with speed holes.

Yes, there's no "inner" fender, in the the plastic liner which Doug said can go.

Criticize all you want. I'll listen if it's constructive.
