GIAC Stage 2 with AWE Tuning Pulley

I think Luis (apexit) is going this weekend.

Thanks for the love prime :wink:

Hahaha fighting words…I’m with prime on this one.

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

Just a little friendly encouragement… Thompson doesn’t open until April 6th and Norwalk/Summit opens April 20th… Can’t wait and I keep hearing of this supposed announcement from APR so maybe I’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 I’ll want to mod sooner than later… lol

You’re definitely going RS5 then…? Wow.

Wait, which stage III are you getting…v6 or v8?

LOL! No, I bought a 2013 TT-RS in Sepang with tech pack and heated front seats… It’s expected sometime in May… Stage III is still on for the S4 once it’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 also… She hasn’t been very receptive to the idea yet… In due time…

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

Nice…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 dealer…lol maybe your car will change my opinion as to this being a guys car.

Definitely there’s a lot of potential in that motor…

She hasn’t seen this yet then

Then she’ll say ā€œno wayā€, lol, if she’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 there…a car that made 500 WHP). If that TTRS is stage 2 or something, that’s nuts.

APR has this in the works.

salmon, Now your starting to sound like her… lol j/k She is great… I don’t spend money on much else so shes cool with the whole car thing… Also, fortunately her and I have both worked hard and blessed with great careers that allow us to afford these toys and you can’t take it with you…

J, Yeah I know the stigma the car has and I thought about that but I’m not hung up on it… Not a lot of cars fit my desire/need… I wanted a coupe, 6-speed and prefered FI motor… If I don’t like it I can sell it and take a small hit but I think I’ll like it alot based on driving a TTS and what I have read about the car… Will see what happens…

Sorry guys can’t watch youtube in the office so I’ll have to comment later…

Saki, Not sure if that was a stage II or III car and not a lot of 1/4 times posted on the interweb… Arin mentioned a stage III car but it may be a beta tester, honestly not positive… 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 I’ll probably do a few stock and then go stage II with tune, exhaust(either full or downpipe), larger frount mount, and intake… Will see how that runs and then most likely go bigger turbo next year but who knows at this point… 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!!!’

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

If I were him I’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 fast’ is a bit hollow, knowing he is basically kissing the tuner’s ass.

For that matter, why don’t we create a youtube channel where we do that? It’s really needed and would be enjoyed. The only reason I watch ā€˜MotorWeek’ 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 times… lol Agreed more real data would be nice… The good news is I’ll provide plenty of it once I get the car…

I’m so jealous of you Primetime. I’ve wanted one of those TTRSs since I first heard that they were going to be selling them stateside. I just can’t justify trading in the S4 when we’re going to probably buy another house here in a month or two. Be sure to keep us updated on what it’s like so that I can live vicariously through you. They’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 haven’t seen a TTRS locally. I’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 haven’t seen one? You’re in Rochester? Or Buffalo?

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