I really enjoy your videos because it makes these builds so approachable. So many of the big youtubers are doing ferrari's and stuff that I'd never touch. But a used wrecked audi and some temu parts, I'm all about it. Great video, cheers.
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!
*_Exactly._* They're our "everyman" Tubers!
Content that explores stuff/projects that are out of our reach are good entertainment, but honestly, stuff that we can literally relate to is so much more enjoyable because we're not watching it due to it being a literal "fantasy"! Also because you're literally shade-tree mechanics and garage engineers, which is basically what so many of us are. 😎
You deff use the double sided tape. I did it on my old 99 s4 it held up great tbh
Ahh good to know!
@@The.Rad.Factoryjust don’t use the crap they have you. Used 3m for my mine
@@Atrociousa3same I threw some 3m cause I trusted it more but double sided tape hold on my ducktail
I'm a totally onboard with the 3M tape suggestion.... but still, going for a "spirited drive" after the sun has been beating on it all day has me *_a little_* concerned 🥴
@ I’m in Texas. Have had it on for almost 2 years no issues.
2:19 factory bumper covers come rolled up smaller than that now days
Haha that’s crazy!!
drill a hole and zip tie the carbon fiber onto the back bumper inside.
YUP
Or glue it on where there’s gaps and apply table until it cures
At least I would have done that
They Stupid 🥴 two Crackheads don't know what they do
Fr, I messs with the diffuser hoping he does that
The most relatable car content on YT
🙌🏽 appreciate that!
You do realize that China does 90% of all the products in the world anyway (together with Pakistan, Bangladesh and Shri-Lanka etc.). It just so happens there can be quality differences mainly because of the poor working conditions and low pay. The big companies use low cost labour to maximise profits….
That dry ice cleaning was so satisfying ❤
I know, so cool!
*Off Topic:* I saw someone else had found a *_diesel_* small engine on Temu... I think you guys need to nab one and make something with it... 😎
Though, admittedly, my muse must be on vacation because I can't think of anything good to make with one. Maybe strap a generator to it and create something that's a hybrid? 🤷♂️
Oh, was just about to post when I had a truly dumb idea: buy TWO, and make a 4WD buggy.
One to power the front wheels...
One to power the back wheels... 🥴
Hahaha
I have seen that one and have some ideas...
Zip ties, boys. That'll hold that "carbon fiber" diffuser one
😂😂 true
This guys deserve way more subscribers than they have!!
🙌🏽 we’re trying 😃
If you wanted to know how Mat Armstrong would do it, he'd Tiger Seal aka "Mansory Glue" it (misfit diffuser & spoiler). -- also from my youtube experience, try the come-along with heat & tapping with hammer at bent areas.
game changer! thank you!
The amount of "finagling" is hitting Tavarish levels! 😂
Loved the video!
We’ll take that as a compliment 😁
@ it is! The finagling is a staple in any rebuild! 😅
🔥🔥🔥 Love your videos mate! 👍
Glad to hear it!
The dry ice cleaning was sick. And that car after you did all that looks like it was not in any accidents congrats guys on using Temu parts. If you were to sell it how much would you sell it for? 🤔
Thank you I'm pumped on how it came out! I'll list it for 8 which seems like the going rate for a salvage title in Colorado. I won't be bummed if it takes months or years to sell :)
I’m going to comment on every video until August… bring the Porsche Truck to Ozark Euro Rally!
Also love the channel
We would like to it’s just very far and that thing gets 8 mpg 😭
@ you drove it to Vegas ;-)
I don’t know if VW on the Greens has a category for Porsches or not, but a local show for you..
But still it would make for great content… I would donate $100 towards fuel lol
Love it!
Horrible Bumper = Great Content 😂😂😂😂
Mission Accomplished and I'm only 3 min in!!!! 😮😮😮😮
😂😂 thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love and the Temu Specials. You guys should do more of these great show.
Thank you!!
This is quickly becoming my favorite automotive channel
Massively appreciate that 🙌🏽
Minnesota has a hail damage industry, and the big shift to repair came with using dry ice. I don't specifically know how the process works, beyond knowing it's causing the metal to contract ("shrink") which pulls the dent out, but it works and that's the important part. So maybe if someone around there does that, they'll be willing to do the same exchange/discount for advertising?
That’s so cool
Dry ice doesnt work its a myth you either massage the dents out with a tool or glue pull them there is no magic fomula. Ive fixed thousands of hail damaged vehicles.
11:32 beautiful dog, beautiful car.
All plastic bumpers come folded up like that. We just put them in the booth with the heat on for a little while, they straighten out. You can just put it out in the sun for a couple hours
Yes but it shouldn’t be cracked
Aye I just watched a goonsquadz video and they’re rear bumper was folded up leave it in the heat boys!! And stay RAD asf🤟🤟🤟🤟
😂😂 no way! That’s such a wild way to ship something
Sweet tune guys! Wish Jackal did Fiat Abarths now. Where you at, Jackal ;-)
Great vid guys 👍👍👍
I really think the pre-facelift B8 is one of the best looking cars ever made. Awesome work, gents.
I love it more and more each day!
4.0 0-60 is impressive, that's late 90s/early 00s, 911 turbo times
It really is wild
Silver metallic is the hardest color to match, it will never look right even with a pro paint job unless you blend and reclear all the panels that touch it.
Agreed!!
These s4s are super fun, the little box is just the garage door opener module. And these cars hold tons of power so definitely go dual pulley. Just be careful with the transmission.
13:46 "DuckBoi" Gav... 😁
Which I'm humbly stealing from "Big Duck Energy". lol
😂😂😂😂
This is becoming my favourite channel, your energy makes me wanna buy a crashed car and rebuild it keep up the brilliant work love the videos from the uk 🇬🇧
Appreciate that! The auctions can be shady, there’s a lot of stuff I didn’t get into in the video. Like gambling, only spend what you’re ok losing
Here we go! I think this Audi is hurting for a drag car set up (just like Cleetus has done)
Would help with exposure!
Cheers from Canada!
That’s a great idea!
I’ve got a suggestion If you guys want to try and make the diffuser work. I had a similar issue with a cheap grill doing the same thing where the clips didn’t hold into place. What I did was a seating the grill in place and then made a dot right up against where it would sit flush. I then drilled a role where the dot was and then once the grill was in position I used some smaller zip ties through the hole to stop the grill from popping off the clips. I think that diffuser would look pretty sick if you can get it to work.
it's a good idea. I personally didn't like the look, it was just too big. a smaller carbon diffuser would look much better in my opinion, they are just very expensive.
You gotta fit that diffuser with the bumper off. Push the tabs through as much as you can, hold the tension and drive some screws through the tabs so they can't slide back out
We definitely could have made it work I just didn’t like how it looked
Let's go ooooo! This one ought to blow tf up for sure
🙏🏽 appreciate that!
Such a crazy video idea with an incredible execution. Not an easy task in any way. You guys pulled through and made it look so good! 😮
Well done 👍 Let‘s take it to the German Autobahn or Nordschleife to test out your temu-Audi 😉🍀
Haha I wish we had places like that here!
Haha heck ta
@@The.Rad.Factory keep going with your projects - love it, even they are not Autobahn-approved 👍
Go buy real 3m heavy duty tape and the prep wipe it will stay on
I love Temu and all of your videos, but I hope you are getting your money back on that bumper. I guess I'll keep watching and see!
Oh yes it was no problem getting money back for the bumper. Decided to return the diffuser also
The Temu 5,000 is the coolest! 🤘😂🤘
Oh yeah 😎
Stay rad bros 😎
Always 😎🤘🏽
Awesome video! Loved it, everything from temu to tunes, you guys are amazing cant wait for the next video
Rad guys , i ha e wanted to get an audi for a while now to make my " family " car 😅 build, lol .. everything is moddable 😅.. peace and love, guys , keep it rad, stay safe, and build on..l8r famz and keep having fun all
Appreciate that, keep it rad!
I literally just got the exact same car to build on my channel, it was abandoned at an impound 😂
No way!!!
Well done boys, Solid effort.
Appreciate that 🙌🏽
prime your parts before
Wanted to but we didn’t have time 😢
All bumpers come folded like that, same thing happened when I ordered bumpers for my Honda
Yes but it cracked
@ I don’t think they factor in the cold weather it’s shipping into!
No body kit is gonna be ready to install out of the box. Granted it looked terrible.
😂 just my personal opinion which I'm sure you guys are going to get a crap ton of them but gluing in the rear diffuser and some baller rims on Facebook would make this car look amazing I'm sure you're going to do an amazing job one way or another you guys are awesome!!!!
The first Audi!! 🔥
Ship this to Kenya for me!
Of course! Will do!
@@RadFactoryGav i will pay $5,000 for it! Good deal?
Body work is the absolute worst. I was an auto tech for a reason and not a body guy 😅
New bumpers always come folded like that, just not cracked. You're supposed to place them in a warm place, and they will reform.
Sick video! Love VAG cars, and will say as someone who has had many, even name brand rear lips/spoilers are attached with that double sided tape. Never had an issue with it if you clean everything well.
Good to know, thanks for the tip!
Once that tape sticks it won’t come off. Those spoilers stick real good. I have 1 on my S4
Great job guys!
Asplenia.
We're glad you enjoyed it.
Absolutely love your guys channel always something different love the Audi build love all the car vids in general keep smashing it both gav be a body work master now
That means a lot 🙏🏽
You could Plastic-Solder the clips larger on that diffuser. Didnt yall use a plastic soldering gun before?
Lololol Edit: Expert here
I need those fog light covers! I have a honeycomb grill already
I’m happy with the quality and fitment so far! I can recommend them! Let me know if you can’t find them but you should be able to type in b8 fog light covers on Temu
What you flashed it without the timing chains and the fluids like transmission and differential ones??
That’s how all bumpers come. Even when you buy it in the USA. They fold them. You just heat it up and it goes to normal
You can plastic weld and sand the cracked bumper. Not the best but you can make it work.
Thought about it but decided a used one was better 🤷🏽♂️
Try the wing use windshield glue and a double-sided tape that will hold it in place
25:42 50k subscriber special episode confirmed
I didn't catch the model year, but that little "Box" maybe the radar cruise or distance sensor.
it's a 2011, we figured out it was a garage door opener sensor
Hard science indeed! If you're going to work with Temu body kits then you should invest in a good hot-glue gun 😂
Exactly 😂
i like this
Thanks!!
To remove pdr glue just use isopropyle alcohol, i just peels right off
Good call!
List your EMAIL???
I’m a Machine shop
Just added it to the about section on the channel 🤘🏽
Fresh tires would make that thing a menace
Edit: And almost double the cost of the build lol
😂😂 yes but I do be looking on marketplace…
if you need a second set of eyes, I've been driving and modding my 3.0t S5 around Denver for a few years now. I'd love to meet up!
yeah message me on ig!
Tiger seal or some type of panel bond would solve a lot of the problems you’re having with stuff like this
make it sound better next with temu!
That could be a funny one!
@The.Rad.Factory maybe you will get lucky an it's as good as the ebay cat back I have on my 15 sti!
The bumper you’re suppose to put it out in the sun so it’ll come back to normal shape.
and fix the crack?
As a pdr tech of 19 years watching you do pdr was painful lol 😅 nice work otherwise
haha give us some tips!
@The.Rad.Factory Many years of practice lol i was a hack at the start 😄
be rad again
Yep
Always trying, we can’t always be grinding cars over 50 foot handrails but we do have some pretty cool stuff in the works right now coming up soon
Nah that diffuser is 🔥 not ricer at all this ain’t no Honda civic it’s an Audi
So cool, what a greta buy.. really enjoy your content.. keep up the good work
Glad you enjoyed it!
Could also sand the carbon fiber down build it up with a little fiberglass on the looser tabs 💁♂️ if that doesn't work...silicone it on lol
That's a good idea!
Lmao…I was just thinking out of the blue my orders from Temu…what I’ve ordered and what I’ve received were always 2 different things!! My worst was the plasma welder I ordered and it took 2 months…and I finally got the package. They sent me an ugly ball cap instead…there is a long list so I don’t order from them. Nymore
Dang sorry to hear that! We’ve never had any issue
@ ah it’s all good. I had a good laugh!
How did you find the car parts on Temu ?
Lets goooo! thanks for the content
Appreciate you! 😎
Thanks for the comment! 🤘
I’m excited for you dude! That thing sounds and looks great! Always been a big Audi guy, maybe it’s the German in my blood lol
Dude me too! I really love the car!
@ You know I need a ride in that rocket ship 🚀 Great choice on a daily!
Links to all the Temu stuff? 😏
Their inventory changes every day and isn’t the same as when I ordered everything a month ago. It’s easier to just search for whatever you need 🤘🏽
How in the heavens did you get that car in that condition for 2K? Like were you the only one at the auction?
it was my first time using copart so i don't know what its usually like but there was only one other person bidding against me and they quit pretty fast.
@The.Rad.Factory you sir had the stars align for you. Good work!
@@fairplayer916 yes but copart fees are outrageous. It ended up almost double what I won the auction for. Still happy with the outcome though!
@The.Rad.Factory wait, double? Yeah that's some bullsh*t. Still, 4k ain't bad either
Bumpers should be steel. Yes? Plastic is garbage. Especially for a bumper!
Plastic has been used for bumper covers since the 60's. There is a metal crash bumper under the cover though :)
Yall not making any sense. Why yall didn't put screws in the rear diffuser just like you would do a front lip. And most front bumpers come folded now. You use your heater and it goes back to shape 😊
A heater won’t fix the cracks dear 😊
Ahh the ol Audibaba
Genius
nice how much was the car
Copart is terrible with fees. I won the auction for $2200 and after everything ended up paying $3900
@@The.Rad.Factory nice
Is that tune from Temu? Lol
No 😊
Nah I’ve installed several bumpers that come like that, KBD etc. they work perfect. That is just cheap horse shit, that’s on you
what a bunch of bunglers
Yes 🤗
I would never use anything from temu on my car.
good call!
Should crawled in the trunk and kicked the dent out 🤦♂️
Rad
🤘🏽
sport sedans aren't sport cars
I’ll look into it 🧐
On today's episode of "How does Dylan keep Finding These Deals??"
But fr.
Congratulations you guys 🎉 this turned out soooooo rad! Lolol I can't believe how much happened in this episode. It turned out so sick, and those 0-60 pulls at the end show how much better the tune is. Sooo jealous.
All you do is half ass. there was nothing wrong with the spoiler and diffuser, all you had to do is drill some holes and use some glue.
but i didn't like the look
I can't, but that's only because Temu is a TERRIBLE company and I don't want to support them.
You look like you should be rich
I wish 😭
14:00 A fuck boy?
😆
