just put an order in but i wont be at rave lol

[FrancoTheTanko]

I called Auto assets and they said they don't have an AWD dyno. I'm going to IPS Motorsports tomorrow to get a base run, they have a special, $120 for before and after runs. Normally one test is $70.

[FrancoTheTanko]

Still haven't gone to get dyno'd, maybe sometime this week.

[IVRINGS]

Aww... I was wanting to hear about how that turned out. I think tonight and tomorrow is going to get kinda crapy, but I think that will be the last of the cold crapy weather for a while.

[Rajan147]

let me know if we can score a deal on 2 cars, i'd like to dyno the s4.

when you thinking of getting cracking on your project

[FrancoTheTanko]

I waiting on a GTRS adapter and a missing exhaust gasket but I'm going back to CT this weekend so I might not do it until the 18th with weather permitting. I'll wait until the 25th also if IVRINGS or anybody else wants to help out; I'm not really in a hurry to get it done.

I'll call IPS tomorrow and ask if they have any specials.

[OldYella]

I got my wheels back today that where stolen. It is just to bad that the car is not 5x100. Might put them on the girls GLI if I keep them. They need some TLC from when I had them still perect.

Holy shit, good to hear man! Thats been forever ago too, crazy.

[IVRINGS]

^ I know right... I would put it up on CR that I got them back, but I don't want to start another thread that I will have to hear Rich Kid BS about not having nice cars to put them on. I guess when your first car is a BMW you always will be to good for he rest of us.

[FrancoTheTanko]

I talked to Mike at IPS today and he said it's $55 for 3 pulls. I guess they changed prices within the 2 days of taking to them?? There's no special for 2 people. He said he might drop the price to $45 if we could get 4 or 5 people. Since I don't really have time during the week to go, my plan is to go on the 18th.

[VR4-S4]

Slowmotion Motorsports also has an AWD dyno.

I'm about to go full k04's and stage 3, then after that I will be doing some tweaking of the GIAC flash with lemmiwinks on a dyno, so if we can get a group discount, that would be nice. Probably wont be ready by the 18th though.

What kind of power are you putting down with your hybrids?

[FrancoTheTanko]

Like I said, Im in no hurry to put the turbo in. That'd be cool if we did a dyno-day.

I just bought a transmission drain plug removal socket for $14 off ebay so if anybody wants to use it when I get it, I don't mind loaning it out.

[Rajan147]

chris,

you get hold of jon?

[VR4-S4]

I've never had it on the dyno, but it pulls strong. I just recently put the GIAC Stage 3- software on and it made an improvement over when I was running GIAC X + MBC at 20psi, which was enough to take and hold a car length on an E63 AMG. Its probably running equally well as a full k04 stage 3- car. After doing some logs it was maxing out my stock injectors and flowing a lot of air, so I got the stage 3 fueling and was going to test them on giac stage 3 software, but last week I noticed one sounding like its on its way out so I'm just going full K04's. They just wont be able to keep up with full k04s at stage 3 but I wanted to see how close they can get.

I went stage 3 minus for just over $1000, and was going to go full stage 3 for $500 more, not bad, especially for something that has or comes close to having similar performance. I bought them used and now I'm doing full k04s anyway. Buying new is the way to go, and for the price they are new you might as well get full k04s.

[VR4-S4]

chris,

you get hold of jon?

I'm just going to have Auto Assets do it, they got me a good price on the parts. I will contact him for my wheel bearings and ABS light problem though. Thanks

[IVRINGS]

Who is this jon guy? I might be looking for someone to do my TB soon cause I don't know if I want to do it yet. Let me know guys.

[VR4-S4]

Raj gave me his url: http://www.jonsautocare.com/

He did the stage 3 work on Raj's car, did wheel bearings on a friends a4 and some work on a family member of his vw. Heard nothing but good things.

[FrancoTheTanko]

Correct Raj?

[FrancoTheTanko]

damn you got to it faster than me! I'm going to bring my car to him when it's time to upgrade the clutch.

[Rajan147]

yeah, check out, my testimonial on his site. He's awesome and extremely reasonably priced. I had him do my stage 3 and he took pics, took care of the car and my stage 3 daily driver is still pulling strong.

Just tell him the Raj (Blue S4) sent you.

[IVRINGS]

Does anyone know of a good place to take in rotors to be turned off my girls GLI. She just told me the other day she is hearing something from them. So I take off the stealies she is running only to find just outside the pad on the outside the pad is polishing off the edge of them. I hope they can be turned for her not to spend the money on new rotors. Jsut let me know cause I would rather get them turned if they are in spec before spending money on new ones cause they aren't to cheap for the GLI

A lot of times its cheaper to just get new rotors than to turn them. Ebay rotors ftw

[IVRINGS]

Cheapest I can see is $300. Maybe I should of said 04 GLI Jetta 1.8T with the bigger brakes. :( Got my hopes up.

[IVRINGS]

Well Tire Rack is cheaper then e-bay right now, and working with Adam on maybe a rotor deal for her car with some HPS pads for her car up front and some HPS for my rears cause they seem to be dark just after 2-3 days of driving.

[Rajan147]

i just got nasty with a Cadillac STS-V, got to love K04s

Correct Raj?

Looks like he does some good work. Havent heard of him before, I'll have to check it out when I get back in town.

he does excellent work, trust me, my stage 3 is my daily driver, and i've had *knock on wood, no probs. tell him raj (blue s4) sent you.

[IVRINGS]

Talked to him two days ago, and I think his pricing seemed very fair and honest. So might let him do the girls tb on her car. I guess I'm going to do her brakes this week sometime.

[FrancoTheTanko]

I changed my mind about holding off on the build, that turbo staring me in the face everyday is torture lol. I'm going to get it dyno'd and change my transmission fluid this weekend then I'd like to put the mounts and turbo in on the 25th. PM me if you would be so kind to help me on the 25th, I'll send you my address.

What kind of beer should I buy?

Hi everyone,

I am not an Audi owner (yet, hopefully) but am looking to replace my current car, a '02 Volkswagen GTi 337, with a B7 A4 2.0T S-Line. I was wondering if anyone here owns one? What are your impressions of the car?

[SilverBullets]

I have an 08 (B7) Sline with the Titanium package on it... I love the car... Im glad I got it as opposed to some others I was looking at... the quattro is great... I drive to northern Michigan alot and this car dominates all conditions... It also is a good car for the summer... the SLine is the way to go if you dont have any mods planned in the near future... SLine comes with a "Sport" Suspension which is something like a half inch lower than stock and it has a thicker Rear Sway Bar... It definitely handles better than the non Sline.. you also get a much more aggressive looking front bumper/Rear trunk lid.... I think it is a great car, I love it and would go no other way than SLine (unless your going to put Coils on it immediately than it really is a waste of money)... if you are looking for straight power and preformance, the A4 is not for you... a good looking sedan which has a great interior and is modable/great in all weather... go for the A4

[SilverBullets]

Anyone on here driving a Silver B5 1.8T with what looked like an Air Force decal on the back that was working out at Urban Active last night?

[IVRINGS]

Who drives a White B5 A4 or S4 with matt black wheels with a front mount. I just saw it over at Polaris about an hour ago.

[SilverBullets]

anyone wanna do a meet at some point???

[IVRINGS]

I'm good for this Saturday if anyone else is! My phone tells me that it is going to be around 74. I need to do the girls brakes on the GLI at some point in the next few days, but I'm just waiting for the HAWK pads to come in that I ordered today. Cory at Advance Auto told me they might be in tomorrow. So you guys let me know if you are wanting to do anything cause I should be free for the most part of the day.

[FrancoTheTanko]

I'm good to meet up Saturday

[SilverBullets]

I would love to Saturday but I will be running wild at Mid-Ohio!

[IVRINGS]

Well anyone else down for tomorrow. I'm doing the girls brakes here in just a few mins. It kinda sucks she has the 312mm brakes and I don't...
