GIAC Stage 2 with AWE Tuning Pulley

I think Luis (apexit) is going this weekend.

Thanks for the love prime :wink:

Hahaha fighting wordsā€¦Iā€™m with prime on this one.

But thatā€™s ok, maybe Salmon will come up here and take the 6MT crown, here on Canadian soil.

Just a little friendly encouragementā€¦ Thompson doesnā€™t open until April 6th and Norwalk/Summit opens April 20thā€¦ Canā€™t wait and I keep hearing of this supposed announcement from APR so maybe Iā€™ll be stage III??? Also, hope I get the RS before late May as I would like a few baseline passes in decent conditions as Iā€™ll want to mod sooner than laterā€¦ lol

Youā€™re definitely going RS5 thenā€¦? Wow.

Wait, which stage III are you gettingā€¦v6 or v8?

LOL! No, I bought a 2013 TT-RS in Sepang with tech pack and heated front seatsā€¦ Itā€™s expected sometime in Mayā€¦ Stage III is still on for the S4 once itā€™s released or hopefully, Arin gets me a kit in advance ;D

Keeping the S4 AND picking up a TTRS?! Sweet!

Thanks! Now if I could just convince my wife that the S4 would be a great daily driver for her, I could order an S6 alsoā€¦ She hasnā€™t been very receptive to the idea yetā€¦ In due timeā€¦

It sounds like she is already plenty understanding allowing you to have two pretty fun cars. ;D

Niceā€¦my thoughts about the TT will always be about this hot girl who had a TT-S (and wasnt wearing very much, and was very chatty), while we were waiting to pick up our cars from the dealerā€¦lol maybe your car will change my opinion as to this being a guys car.

Definitely thereā€™s a lot of potential in that motorā€¦

She hasnā€™t seen this yet then

Then sheā€™ll say ā€œno wayā€, lol, if sheā€™s anything like mine.

Stage 3 the TTRS would be interesting. Is that out yet?

What have we seen in 1/4 mile times from stock or tuned TTRS so far? There was one at Santa Pod that was well into the 11s and I think trapped 125 MPH (which is what the TTS Supercharged B7 RS4 trapped thereā€¦a car that made 500 WHP). If that TTRS is stage 2 or something, thatā€™s nuts.

APR has this in the works.

salmon, Now your starting to sound like herā€¦ lol j/k She is greatā€¦ I donā€™t spend money on much else so shes cool with the whole car thingā€¦ Also, fortunately her and I have both worked hard and blessed with great careers that allow us to afford these toys and you canā€™t take it with youā€¦

J, Yeah I know the stigma the car has and I thought about that but Iā€™m not hung up on itā€¦ Not a lot of cars fit my desire/needā€¦ I wanted a coupe, 6-speed and prefered FI motorā€¦ If I donā€™t like it I can sell it and take a small hit but I think Iā€™ll like it alot based on driving a TTS and what I have read about the carā€¦ Will see what happensā€¦

Sorry guys canā€™t watch youtube in the office so Iā€™ll have to comment laterā€¦

Saki, Not sure if that was a stage II or III car and not a lot of 1/4 times posted on the interwebā€¦ Arin mentioned a stage III car but it may be a beta tester, honestly not positiveā€¦ I want to learn how to drive the car well before I go balls out as the plan is to do a handful of track days so Iā€™ll probably do a few stock and then go stage II with tune, exhaust(either full or downpipe), larger frount mount, and intakeā€¦ Will see how that runs and then most likely go bigger turbo next year but who knows at this pointā€¦ Would be nice if Arin could make some passes in their stage III TT-RS :stuck_out_tongue:

ug

that video bugs me. ā€˜WOW THIS THING FEELS FAST!!!ā€™

Guy said the same thing about the M90 supercharged VF RS4. Bit of a joke.

If I were him Iā€™d totally take these cars to a dragstrip or buy a Vbox and do some actual testing of the cars. Hearing his opinion of what ā€˜feels fastā€™ is a bit hollow, knowing he is basically kissing the tunerā€™s ass.

For that matter, why donā€™t we create a youtube channel where we do that? Itā€™s really needed and would be enjoyed. The only reason I watch ā€˜MotorWeekā€™ is for the instrumented testing of whatever car they have going that week. There are lots of numbers nerds like me.

OK, I know what video that is and saw it a few timesā€¦ lol Agreed more real data would be niceā€¦ The good news is Iā€™ll provide plenty of it once I get the carā€¦

Iā€™m so jealous of you Primetime. Iā€™ve wanted one of those TTRSs since I first heard that they were going to be selling them stateside. I just canā€™t justify trading in the S4 when weā€™re going to probably buy another house here in a month or two. Be sure to keep us updated on what itā€™s like so that I can live vicariously through you. Theyā€™re like a hot girl with a funky smile. They look terrible in pictures, but are pure sex in person.

-Skid

Why are you buying another house? What market are you in?

Some real metrics would have been nice. I still havenā€™t seen a TTRS locally. Iā€™d love to take one for a spin one day although I doubt it will replace my current coupe. :stuck_out_tongue:

^^^No shit you havenā€™t seen one? Youā€™re in Rochester? Or Buffalo?

We have them here by the gross it seems. There are 2-3 in my small town. Whenever Iā€™m in Toronto I see one too. They look badass with the big wing on there.
