yeah, the JHM product cycle is frankly fucking weird comapred to the rest of these guys. I mean it sounds very sane if you have a brain in your head, but compared to the majority of the Audi product market, JHM is like a space alien.
When JHM is testing parts in the design process, other companies are announcing their upcoming product and taking pre-orders.
When JHM is testing the parts on THEIR CARS THAT THEY BOUGHT (3 B5 S4s, 2 C5 A6s, 2 B6 S4s, 3 B6 A4s, 1 B7 RS4), other companies are getting feedback from the market on how the parts work…basically testing their parts on the customers’ cars.
When JHM is testing the parts at the dragstrip and in pulls and making a killer video to launch the part, other companies are explaining why their parts aren’t making customers any faster in pulls or at the strip and why their customers are losing pulls on video.
When JHM is finally ready to release their parts publicly, other companies are already abandoning the platform saying 'you can’t make power with the insert platform name and moving on to the next group of guys they can scam on the next platform.
Not to get cocky. But without them having my car for 2 months, I am not too sure how far along that program would be.
Those boys kill it over there. They can try and research all they want, but as soon as they can have a car in shop for extended period of time, improvement will be limited.
I think the 3.2’s best bet is to try and locate someone somewhat local, and talk them into leaving it with JHM.
I cant say enough great things about that company!
to ‘knock you off your high horse’ (zingo reference) the JHM 3.0 program would be doing ok as they ended up buying 2 different 3.0 cars of their own to try stuff on. How’s that for dedication? Although I was most impressed when Dan bought a frigging Rs4 for the same reason!
just kidding of course. Awesome of you to donate your wheels for so long. i remember reading about it. Kudos to anyone who makes that sacrifice. There have been B5/B6/B7 S4s and lately even an S5 who did the same thing.
And I come back with his: Im on a Clydesdale and they can ride their donkeys
I totally agree tho. They didn’t get the shop cars till after my car was done however. I like to think I was just able to supply the jumper cables to the platform. haha.
I would really like to see the guys with the 3.2 get some lovin’ as well!
I think it is about time that you put some stuff in the R8 section of this forum…I would love to see some pics and vids PLEASE. We all know what the JHM tune does for an S4 I can only imagine what it would be like in the R8. Do you have any other JHM goodies on there?
