Official TIP(unnamed) Club thread

[FrimmelNoJerz]

Hate on it all you want 6 speeders but TIP advancement have our cars closely chasing the superior performance of a stick. Slowly but surely i think we can get there, however, before everyone jumps on the "automatics are just as good as sticks" bandwagon id like to celebrate being the minority. I think it was cactus who threw out the idea of a club. for tip owners and yesterday i tossed the idea to ryan(rakete) about making shirts. i ahve a few ideas with 0 pshop skills. so if anyone wants to throw in their 2 cents about a design let me have it.

PS: no macho bs about real men driving sticks and the TIP weighing too much and all that other shizzle.

[FrimmelNoJerz]

(11:27:05 AM): yo for a shirt idea... how about this going down the back:

P
R
N
D
4
3
2
1

i feel like that would be a good idea on the front of the shirt in small lettering on the pocket area.

[AudiA4_20T]

Or you could just get a stick car...

lol jk

[FrimmelNoJerz]

well so much for avoiding that.

[Sinister]

I think it would be cool to do, any idea of a cost for the shirt?

[FrimmelNoJerz]

nah im gonna fly by a place in my town in a while to shoot some ideas to them and see what they say as far as prices. i hate shirts that arent jersey so itll be comfortable and worth the money. i would think it would be more than like 12-15 dollars.

[VonPooper]

ctc...crazy tip club

[FrimmelNoJerz]

idunno we should figure out a couple names and then append a poll to this thread. i say Tip Brigade or Just the TIP

[Cole]

I'm sure some one can come up with something to play off of.....


"Semi-Auto" .....maybe something like an S4 and a handgun combo.....

"manly enough to drive a TIP"

"etc......I will ponder it for awhile.

[FrimmelNoJerz]

i like the man enough to drive a tip. how about that being the slogan?

[RLB6]

I posted in the B6 chatterbox about boosting the morale of us tip owners. For starters, using this avatar I made to represent!! So far, I think I have 5 members using it, including me [up]

[1997gtx]

^^^ You didn't change your avatar, so it's still 5 ... Unless I missed something ... How about for a slogan:

"Sometimes 'Tip'-Toeing is more effective"

-or-

"I felt so left out we had to make a club" ... And then you can use a bunch of rainbow colors! =)

-or-

"PTTITB" <-- Put the "Tip" in the butt! HAHAHA ... Sorry, couldn't resist.

[AuDIDAS4]

A friend and I were trying to start a very exclusive 400hp Tip club up here in Seattle (he's got an RS6). It never really got off the ground and was more of a joke, but I was kicking around the idea of the Dead Pedal Posse (DPP): Rowing's 4 Sucka's or something like that. Pretty ghey, but they're all going to bash us anyways so might as well live it up!!! [:)]

[1997gtx]

How about:

"We have more clutches then you"?
--Adam

[FrimmelNoJerz]

more clutches less work?

[FrimmelNoJerz]

i like dead pedal posse too.

[1997gtx]

more clutches less work?

More clutches = More Things to replace when rebuilding ... Right, Justin [;)]
--Adam

[Cactus00S4]

frimmel, glad u took the idea and ran with it, i def buy a TIP shirt, how bout this

The
Intelligent
People

hahaha

[Cactus00S4]

or

"I can please with my TIP"

"TIP, ahead of the game"

"TIP, making roadhead so much easier"
[:D]

[FrimmelNoJerz]

More clutches = More Things to replace when rebuilding ... Right, Justin [;)]
--Adam

oh yea. im getting those crazy sweet carbon fiber clutches.

[Cactus00S4]

another slogan idea:

TIP no clutch needed
or
TIP taking speed shifting to the next level

[rotaryracer]

"Here's a TIP on shifting"

[AuDIDAS4]

This is a little unrelated, but I also think if the Avants get their own 'Avants Only' subforum, we Tip owners should lobby for our own subforum as well!!! Perhaps once we settle on a name, we can make our case to the AZ head honchos.

[Cactus00S4]

i was thinking about this earlier also the we should get our own subforum, u beat me to it, haha

[S4-ORCE]

"Lets go cow TIPPING"

TIPTRONIC, THE CLUTCHLESS MANUAL

hows that one, i got smoke coming out of my ears from tryin to think of a good one, lol

[1997gtx]

I think you guys gotta realize that no one besides car people will know what a tiptronic is ... hence, try to keep it witty with the word "Tip", so people like girls will get it and people that know cars will really get it.
--Adam

[AuDIDAS4]

I stole a piece of your sig...I stole your idea. You better lock your car before I snag it too. LOL!!!

[Cactus00S4]

hahaha

so adam how bout this TIP subforum thing??

[1997gtx]

hahaha

so adam how bout this TIP subforum thing??

Do you want a Tip subforum for B5 S4's? Or for the whole forum in general? Similar to the 'Avants' section, I presume?
--Adam

[Cactus00S4]

yeah that would be awesome to have a TIP section, we should take a vote on it, for a sub forum or a whole section for tips

[4ringAR]

it should just be a general tip section, like the avant one.

[4ringAR]

just came up with an idea for the shirts/club name:

"Still Tippin'"

and then on the back it could have a picture of the tiptronic shifter, like you guys have as your avatar.

[Sinister]

I think it should be a generic tip section, maybe dividing it by years within the forum though?

[4ringAR]

I think it should be a generic tip section, maybe dividing it by years within the forum though?

if any division, then it should be gen. 1(with 4, 3, 2 modes) and gen. 2(with S mode)

but otherwise we would be stretching it a bit thin.

[Sinister]

I think then maybe just a general tip section would be best.

[FrimmelNoJerz]

How about The D stands for Done.

[rotaryracer]

"Here's a TIP loose the stick"

[FrimmelNoJerz]

if the my is implied i doubt anyone will actually get it. this shit is comlicated. how can a board of people not come up with something that someone says "wow" to

[Sinister]

You can always add my to in so it's not just implied. I don't know haha, these things are hard.

[AuDIDAS4]

T.I.P...Truly Increased Performance. (OK, maybe not true, but it works)
Tired of mising shifts?? Here's a tip.....GET A TIP!!!!
TIP backwards is PIT...Perfect In Traffic. (Very random I know, but it seems like there might be something there.)

Those are more for t-shirt slogans, but we still need a "club" name. I threw out Dead Pedal Posse, but am drawing a blank on others. I'll think about it more tonight.

[Sinister]

I don't know, I kinda like the Deal Pedal Posse for the name.

[4ringAR]

I don't know, I kinda like the Deal Pedal Posse for the name.

that or "Two Pedal Posse"

Yes, I was. Thanks for removing it! I appreciate it! [up]
--Adam

[Sinister]

Are we getting anywhere with this tip only section?

[AuDIDAS4]

Per Adam's suggestion, I've started a New Topic on the Feedback/Suggestions/Help forum related to the TIP Club and our desire for a TIP subforum. So, be sure to provide your thoughts there and see if we can get additional admin/moderator support. Thanks again to FrimmelNoJerz for spear-heading the movement!

[4ringAR]

upon second thought, "dead pedal posse" flows a bit better than "two pedal posse." i think the first should be it.

[Cactus00S4]

i like two pedal posse, the dead pedal one could be a 6spd also, my buddy has a sparco dead pedal in his 5spd civic

slogan try # 94325438967086087846083264

TIP, I Dont Miss Gears

[Cactus00S4]

# 94325438967086087846083265

TIP, Only Thing Better is Quattro

[AuDIDAS4]

My left leg us useless, but I'm great with my TIP.

Everyone who wants a TIP section go to the site suggestion/help or whatever forum and say you want one.

[3M0RT4L]

Guys my k03's are going to blow any time. I am currently stage II+ (GIAC/Tip Chip)


I would like to run k04's..

I dont want to spend a grand for a TC, can I just run k04s with the k03 X chip/tip chip?


If so what else would I need?

[Cole]

Just to make this clear.

The TC problem is NOT.....I repeat NOT a HP/TQ related problem. This is a bad seal that goes bad on totally stock cars. Going to K04s is not going to cause the problem. It is just as likely to happen no matter what you do with the car.


Could you benefit from a modified TC, probably.

[FrimmelNoJerz]

do it.

[AuDIDAS4]

I'm running K04s on the stock tranny with Tip Chip.

[4ringAR]

"still tippin' in quattros"


sure....real original[;)] just kidding, i still think it is funny. especially with the "quattros" part added. haha.

just came up with an idea for the shirts/club name:

"Still Tippin'"

and then on the back it could have a picture of the tiptronic shifter, like you guys have as your avatar.

[3M0RT4L]

Cole: Thanks for making that clear. What else besides the TC will I need?


What brands do you reccommend I get?


AudidaS4: So how does everything hold up with the k04's and just Tip chip?


What programming are you running..? Whats the whole setup and how much boost

[Cole]

Cole: Thanks for making that clear. What else besides the TC will I need?






That right there my friend is exactlly the problem. No one really knows.[rolleyes] So far it *seems* the TIP handles the power just fine. The only exceptions seem to be software issues. (not shifting fast enough not to limp the trans on the 1-2 shift. Which seems to be avoidable by shifting around 5,500-6,000 rpm in tip mode)


I'm sure as we get more high HP tips we will discover new things[;)]

[AuDIDAS4]

Cole: Thanks for making that clear. What else besides the TC will I need?

AudidaS4: So how does everything hold up with the k04's and just Tip chip?


What programming are you running..? Whats the whole setup and how much boost

I've been Stage 3- for about 5 weeks now and the tranny seems to be holding up fine so far. Going with the stock tranny was not my original plan, but was just having too much trouble with the L10 components I was trying to install, and after consulting with Cole a couple of times (thanks again!!), made the decision to just stick with the stock components.

I'm running just OTS (off the shelf) GIAC Stage 3- code with the GIAC Tip Chip as I mentioned before. Matrix also installed a Hitachi MAF and 5 bar fpr and while the engine was out put in an APR snub mount and RS4 motor mounts. I unfortunately don't have a boost gauge yet (next "mod" on the list) so don't know exactly how much boost I'm running, but it was enough to pop my old TBB off four times in a 1-week span. I've since switched to a Samco TBB and got the APR R1 diverter valves and the throttle response is much better and no more boost leaks from the boot popping off. I was also experiencing some "throttle cut" in the upper rpm ranges at "heavy throttle" that seems to have been corrected with the TBB and DV upgrade. As Cole mentioned, you reach the 1-2 shift in a hurry!! I never threw it into limp mode, but I could definitely see it happening if you're not careful, so I try and shift before 6,000 rpms as well and never just floor it in 1st. Or really any gear for that matter; I went straight from Stage 1 to Stage 3- so I'm still getting used to the power and probably shift earlier than I need to sometimes.
