Ya, its not likely to be any drag strip killer. Doubt it, but I am with you Justin, in my hopes at least are for an overall fun and unique car. Pretty confident it will be.
Throw 'em up, mdubz. No need to email them first. Thanks!
I was talking Dan’s ear off about your car. I promised him I’d make sure you were cool with me sharing pictures first. Sounds like they need to finish up some tuning and your car is ready to go home.

A bit unrelated, but another cool piece of info is they’re just about done with the S5 s/c kit. What’s awesome about that kit is the s/c is flipped 180* so the inlet points towards the front of the car and the cone filter sits right behind the driver side fog light. So it’s extra a stealthy and the IATs are much better.
I’m thinking you’re going to be Happy2bSC
Thanks so much, man! Anticipation is killing me! Did they ever have it fired up when you were there? Curious how the exhaust note has changed with the catless dp’s?
Yeah I think Dan was doing a test drive. The first pic, the car was in one spot and the second and third pictures were in a completely different spot. I was inside when it was running. I’m sure it sounds great though.
Sweet! Thanks for the updates. Haha! Love it. You still in Lathrop?
Wow…wow oh wow. Your car looks awesome and thinking about how much more power you will have that car is going to be a monster. The more I see the jhm blower kit the more I thunk about how I need to get one.
Just got back to Denver woot woot.
Looks like first week in August to get project sc allroad back. Jason wants to take it to the track event on 22nd. No problem in my book. Some good news on ac compressor; Jason determined the ac solenoid was culprit. Swapped in a good used one and ac came back to life. Sounds like it very well could crap out again, but saved some added expense for time being. Having front air springs and shocks replaced with arnott units in lieu of not needing the ac compressor replaced now. They are leaking.
its great to get all these updates and I think its great that jhm will take the car to the track. I would think thats what anyone would want and you have to love that JHM is going to go make sure the car performs before you get it back.
Any news on the exhaust. I know you were talking about getting the full exhaust. Did that ever happen
I did get 2.5" catless dps mated to my 2.5" magnaflow catback…i guess catless back now. Ha!

nice the home run on these cars is the exhaust the intake and the blower. It will be interesting to see how the 5 speed stacks up on helping with the 1/4 mile. I think the gear raito is better for the allroad
Congrats. That’s not too far away. Are you flying there and driving it back?
I opted for the exhaust over the im at this point.
I will be flying out and driving it back
Wow Happy, your car looks amazing. That is probably the best looking AR I have seen, keep up the good work.
Thanks man. Trust me, there are lots of sweet allroads out there. I like the direction mines headed though.
Cant wait to see where this lands.
So almost 6 months into this process and thousands of dollars and now the car has no 4th or 5th gear. Lol!
6mt swap?
