For every page of useful info on this site there’s 10 of garbage so sorry if I have no desire to go through all of that. Please copy and paste exactly what info you are referring to where the APR test care is currently down with a blown motor. I’m guessing this would be info from the owner or APR since clearly gossip doesn’t count. And once again, why should APR having a blown motor on a test car be a major concern? Hasn’t JHM blown motors as well? Or is it different when they do it?
That red rs4 looks quite simply fucking stupid. I also agree there is a difference in jhm blowing motors and apr. Have apr fixed any of the broken cars they didn’t own? Jhm owned there’s I believe so fair play for years of testing and breaking. Lastly I run ohlins on my b5 I think it’s the best out there but is a pain in the arse having it taken off and rebuilt. Last time was 700 gbp for the refurb plus time to remove and re fit it’s not cheap. It’s also not something I’ll do yearly as the car will do minimal miles
Thanks for continuing to expose you’re completely useless and have nothing to offer. Goodbye troll I think you’ve done a great job of showing how ignorant people like you are. You have the facts in front of you and don’t have the ability to read but muttering to yourself about how your thoughts are somehow facts is something you’ve been able to just keep on with.
You guys probably saw Krypto is pulling his Stasis MS. Ridiculous. A suspension that is only good for x amount of miles/km and requires a rebuild is just robbery. Imagine owning that suspension here in Canada? It would probably be a “fixed” suspension after one winter from rust. “But it is sooo amazing, much better than stock” just doesn’t cut it. There is a balance between something great and the complications from going with it. Kinda like doing crack. Probably “sooo amazing”, but not worth it in the long run, just ask Mr. Ford.
Tend to agree but if it’s not on a daily and you can afford to rebuild it, then I personally think it’s the suspension of choice. From personal experience it’s absolutely superb
nobody cares if you know or not. We’re just telling you that you’re dead wrong and out of the loop. Please fuck off.
It’s a concern because
a) APRdidn’t own the car…it wasn’t a development car that had 20,000 supercharged miles on it and had an engine tear down to see what was up. They used it to do an install guide (along with flying rotten apple) and dyno stuff and dragstrip stuff. It was not APR’s fucking car. They borrowed it.
b) APR tested it, pushed the shit out of it, and then launched the kit for sale to the public…the motors started blowing a couple months later…not in ‘testing’. The kit was fucking sold already. To guys like meem, whose motor blew. Notice that JHM wouldn’t sell you a stage 2 supercharger kit 2 years ago even though Dan’s car was already trapping 125 MPH at the strip? Why? They were still testing the kit. Even today they are. They didn’t push 16 psi and get it out there, only to have the motors blow AFTER they’d sold it to the public. JHM in contrast bought an RS4, tested it, and are rolling out the kit slowly. They’ve torn the motor apart half a dozen times. They’ve developed forged internals and have sleeved RS4 blocks for big power. This is a very different proicess to borrowing a car, installing the kit, running it (slower than JHM) at the strip, and then selling it to meem…only to have meem and the borrowed car blow their motors immediately.
c) three guys on the forums got the APR1740…one was the GRD car (the one in the video) that blew the motor (call GRD in Chicago if you want to hear about it)…one was meem who blew his motor…the other is FT aka if his motor blew, we wouldn’t hear a thing (but we do know it’s smoking like a fucking tire fire)
If I remember correctly, Krypto is known for buying parts and then selling them in the short future. It is almost like he wants to try out all the latest new trends.
He still takes the hit in deprecation. Kind of like people that only buy new cars, every other year.
Glad to see my car is super popular with the whole look stock? BS line. Fact, it is a temporary condition that is easily fixed, and will be in about 276 days. Fact, most people will look at it and not be able to tell that anything has been done aside from the beautiful whine of the SC which is oh so subtle…
Rebuilding a suspension that often would be too much for me. I have a hard enough time swapping winter and summer wheels.
I’ve been in other Audi cars with suspension and I just don’t think it’s a must. I’ve had suspension upgrades done and sure some cars need more suspension help than others. Personally when people say it’s a must or its more comfortable it’s so subjective.
People that argue like that are trying to justify their money being spent.
I thought that was your car lol. minus the fog light, if the lines were black u wouldn’t see anything at all. and when he said cutting into the frame??? nowhere do u cut into structural material installing the jhm kit.
why do ppl pop on here just to bust jhm balls? sounds like jealousy to me.
I think a functional suspension like what your doing is a great thing. It sucks when there are people who take what can be something really neat and make a crazy stupid situation out of it.
I am very glad with my decision at the end of the day. Centrifugal is a no brainer, and the price was quite a bargain. I can easily buy a fucking light bar to slap on my bumper and roof to supliment the missing fog light since it appearently that fucking important. I can’t believe this arguement. I am not one to take sides, but come on now. This is fucking petty. I don’t even know how this morphed from a discussion about suspensions to superchargers.
They reach for everything man…no matter how dumb they look in the end. It would be simple to find slim fit fog lights and modify the stock housings. Also, the oil cooler lines you can see could easily be covered in some black snake skin…then they would be invisible again. Pop the hood and 9 of 10 people wouldn’t be able to tell you anything was modded.
You car looks great and is fast as fuck.
we gotta get a quarter mile time for ya up on the board eh marcus. im guessing maybe in about 264 days??
There’s already a couple… Not posted yet though.
Hey Musano, if I’m not mistaken the MS system won’t rust (only springs, like on KWs).
I have some questions for you about those times when you get off your time out.
Who was recording those times?
How were they recorded?
Did you change anything else in the mean time before testing the different suspensions?
Did you test the suspensions on the same day?
Those are very simple questions. They would be asked of anybody at a dyno or dragstrip too so they are totally fair for comparing performance parts.
You are right… I’m always in search of the best for this car. I think I’m almost there, last thing to figure out is the right supercharger ;D
^^^ +1
sorry sak I musta missed his times on the quarter mile thread. what were they?
As is my case. I don’t mind doing this “maintenance” to the car, gives me something to wrench on. Although paying someone to install the MS system is one thing, trying to tackle the res routing by yourself is more than I bargain for. That I consider “too much” work when there are superior/simpler suspensions out there now (PSi).
