Custom TT Side Skirts and A Broken Axle!

Hey Everyone,
In today's episode we do both a bit of maintenance and a bit of modification. I've noticed we have quite a bit of play in one of our CV axles. Rather than letting it strand me when it eventually gives out, I figure it would be best for us to replace it while we can. We also received our customs side skirts that we designed from splitter gang. Before we wrap the car, I think it would be a fantastic idea to test fit all of our aero to get a final look at what the car is going to look like. I have loads in the works for this car which I am excited to show you soon. If you have anything you would like to see on the car before we start the wrap, let me know!

You know it’s going to be a good day when the plastic table comes out 🤣🤣🤘🏻🤘🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@HunterDirection]

That table has been through so much haha

[@maxstinehour6662]

If you haven't looked at Raxles, worth it. Especially if you are going BT/G25-550. Amazing.

[@swift__]

Side skirts look great, super excited for the wrap 😎

[@HunterDirection]

Thank you! I'm really excited too! I hope the weather stays as nice as it has been!

[@youngdolph7762]

I see you flexing the snap on ratchet 😂 1:58

[@izzyauto6298]

Can't wait to return to the PNW. Sweet side skirts. Nice video.

[@HunterDirection]

Thank you so much for the support! The PNW is a fun place for sure

[@TheNeverEndingProject]

Nice work man. Cool to see your own design be made into something tangible!

[@donaldstewart6538]

subtle and clean...

[@HunterDirection]

Thank you! I am glad you like the design!

[@twoninedaniel]

I love the way that side skirt was designed. Not having to drill new holes and reusing existing ones is really nice.

[@HunterDirection]

I completely agree haha. I am stoked you like my design. Thanks for the support!

[@XiraArien]

In old cars (not TTS) the axel was open but the you have a seal between the joint and differential. The closes one like you installed are preferred

[@ericpaul80b17]

Just a thought, all you need now is a rear diffuser. Remove the bottom rear bumper around the exhaust tips. Would complement the rest of the skirting.

[@HunterDirection]

I totally agree. The honeycomb rear is great but it would look so much better with a diffuser that matched the lip and skirts. I'll have to think of a good design🤔 thank you for the support!

[@gianlucagasparis4506]

@@HunterDirection i wonder how much shipping for the honey comb rear diffuser would be from Canada to South Africa (I cannot find one in this country this is a cry for help)

[@patriknessboLemoran]

You should mount the spec'D headlights with eyelids. It looks dope

[@obi1dipscobi547]

Damn man, you're getting so good at editing 😁. (Also I finally have bought a TT mk1 of my own! 🙂). I've been watching your videos for a while now but it's gonna be so cool now being able to follow along with the real life thing 😁.

[@HunterDirection]

Haha thank you! I've still got a ways to go for where I want the production value to be. I'm always trying to learn more, so if you ever have suggestions let me know. I am stoked you have a TT. I bet you're gonna have a blast with the car !

[@obi1dipscobi547]

@HunterDirection It's only been a few days and I'm already in love with her 😊

[@jdub_vdub]

The tire transition at 2:28 though

[@damionblazer7139]

recommending raxles forsure! and im not sure if this is the exact same as s4 but with the s4 you dont even have to take the wheel off to get axle out as long as you get axle bolt thru rim like you did here.. i had my axle in and out in 14 min

[@DanimalZ32]

Loving all of your videos. You should make a tutorial on the 3.2 rear battery relocation. Btw are you on the mk1 track car Facebook page?

[@greyz33tracknissanfan73]

Good Video! Where about in WA are you? I'm near Puyallup, not a lot of TT enthusiasts around here. Keep up the good work!

[@HunterDirection]

I'm over on the east side of the state near Spokane! I agree haha. The TT needs more support in the PNW for sure. Thank you for the support!

[@frankobrien4248]

Audi advise do not trolley jack to FRONT jack-pads attached cars underside, ok though to do the stronger rears. Reason x4 jack pads designed for garage post lift to all x4 pads simultaneously, equal load distribution. Front pads in weak shell location tends to dent under trolley jack single point loading. Chasis rails the correct trolley-jack location at front + ditto placing jack stand, or alternative use grooved puck / not bend over seam / to lift or jack stand at sill seam at location sill marked for changing spare wheel.

[@tyhyhh]

just did the front axels on my subaru legacy gt no more click! haha

[@HunterDirection]

Its such a good feeling haha. Thank you for that support! Legacy GT's are rad cars. So much potential haha

[@gianlucagasparis4506]

Ah that cap on the axel is weird! Makes me wanna take mine apart and check it out👀

[@HunterDirection]

It really was weird. I'm super curious now if the other ones are the same or not.

[@dustysteele5408]

Black taillights would be rad or just wrap them when you do the car.

[@premiumautoservices9009]

Just a heads up, on your adjustable drop links for your anti roll bar, the locking nuts aren't locking anything, they should be up against the yellow part locking it in place.

[@HunterDirection]

Haha it's so ironic you mention that. I noticed it while editing and corrected it as of today. They seem to have just worked their way down. Thank you for the support!

[@Bryan-xw2fj]

hi HD, could you let me know the size of the extended bolts you used for the underside to hold the skirts? Thanks in advance :-0

[@frankobrien4248]

got a cut-out in those side skirts so spare wheel jack can lock onto the sill seam to change spare wheel?

[@HunterDirection]

Yes they curve in enough on the inside to reach the pinch weld thankfully. Thanks for the support!

[@yoFigure]

Mines a 2000 and had a cap on both the axle I removed from the car and the new aftermarket one too

[@yoFigure]

btw do you have instagram or anything? Would love to connect with you and talk car stuff!
