You have a tire picked out? I didn't see that anywhere.

Bring that thing out this saturday:

Nearly unlimited runs and almost no work...

 

Great place to play with your new toy.

 

I work.... Fml

You are dead to me.

 

I thought we were 5 cylinder bro's ......

So Much Hate in this thread.

 

Loving it.

 

You'd think every BRZ owner came in here saying their shit was faster than anything else.

nice. I just picked mine up Saturday. Put some 22PLE on it yesterday.

SOLD

Achbach does the BMW's all the time. When we dealt with True Performance in the past they seemed to be legit about it also.

thought it was a gs, but yeah.

 

you are correct. GS.

passed it as it was going on the rollback. badly burned. full size lexus. ls430 maybe?

weather was pretty suspect about 15 minutes ago here in knox county. Very eerie feeling. Windy with minimal precip/thunder. supposedly hail here but we didn't have any at my house. Hopefully this other cluster passes over top of me.

Not sure what kind of comp that was, but it doesn't look like the Bugatti really launched. Are they that weak on the low end? It only ran an 11.2, fast but not crazy. Quick little SUV.......thingy either way.

 

I agree.

 

That was my first thought too. That launch was weak compared to most any other video I've seen of a Veyron. That thing should be moving out...and it doesn't really.

nice pickup. should be super handy. I didn't care much for the 2.5 in my rabbit at first but I really enjoy it now with a cheap intake and GTI exhaust. The mk6's have longer gearing which helps with fuel economy. My mk5 a bit too high strung. Oh and you can hack the shifter down about 1-1/2" if you want without any ill effects.

This.

 

I went cheap on summer tires this time, and while they are better than the stock A/S tires, they are VERY underwhelming in a car as capable as the R.

 

They lock up under hard braking with the stock pads :dumb: and are simply not enough for even a stock R, with a novice driver. I wish I would have spent the extra $200 on something better. :no:

 

duhhh

Jones just looked like he was in a zone Sonnen has never even heard of.

 

agreed.

 

Sonnen has said multiple times if he's not fighting to be the champ then he shouldn't be fighting. I guess that means he's retiring this week? :fuuuu:

The g/f and I found 12 over the weekend. 5 of us searched for an hour in a known "mushroom" area. And thats all we found. I figure it should get better in the next week or two.

 

Regardless they were great. Just enough for the 2 of us.

It appears to be a N20 engine with a restricted manifold.

 

Swap with a N20 manifold from a 328 and with a tune you'll be making 260 hp at the wheels

intake manifold part numbers are the same. I want to gamble and say its strictly software but the part numbers are different for complete long blocks, so I cant say for certain.

 

edit:

piston part #'s are different. crank and rods are the same....weird.

like

I've bought a fender and hood from keystone. quality & fitment was good.

The snow was awesome yesterday morning. great shots!

Golf R = RAPED

 

at Nelson probably. The last corner is the only corner where Im really traction limited. On a smaller, tighter track or autox my car would be a turd.

 

My only mod will be a haldex controller.

 

You getting one?

 

No springs?

 

How can you ensure a full lap at a road course without having to point someone by?

 

I'm game, turd.

 

 

kidding aside we usually get plenty of "free" laps in at nelson. enough to record the times and compare. I know Torqued Racing isn't doing Nelson this year just the mid-o event. Probably end up doing a couple fun days instead.

True.

 

How about at an autox event of Derek's choice, this summer.

 

as you wish my dear... then we'll do a road course, a drag strip and on the street. I think 3 to 1 wins the bet. :fuckyeah:

 

You have AWD for a month and look at the nuts you've grown. :lolguy:

 

jerky jerkerton forgot where he came from..

 

FWD :dumb:

 

who cares if you have AWD with a 14 second car? :dumb:

In for more insight from the vagina duo.

Seemed to work for me on TWC. Ive had issues streaming utube videos for as long as I can remember. They would never buffer fast enough to watch without stopping. Watched a handful just now with no issues.

 

THX!
