Ya, I am really excited to get my car up to JHM and see what they can do for me. I mean, its kind of hard to consider other tunes when you look at what JHM has done with this platform in my opinion… or what they have done basically with all other platforms as well. All top B6/B7s S4s are JHM.
I would be thrilled if I could run low/mid 11s on race gas in my car. I have some weight reduction as well (CF hood, CF roof with sunroof delete, CF trunk, CF status seats, BBS magnesium wheels) so I hope I can get down in that range on a consistent basis. I will make it out the the strip a couple times this season for sure and post up some results.

BBS Mag wheels, thats badass
oh snap, that’s what those are? I thought thye were just CH.
They’re like 13 lbs aren’t they? Those race wheels. They’re highly sought after since they’re out of production. I think GMG has a few in their shop. Bust in if you ever bend one lol.

Just read that as well, pretty killer. Weight?
Really is just such a well done car. It’s sad, but fewer and fewer are done like this anymore in the B5’s it seems. I find it difficult to believe the guys doing big builds don’t have more of a desire to really finish their cars like that. But it’s transitioned from a moderately priced sports car with easy potential, to a cheap-ish car with big potential vs investment (i.e. cheap used mod parts to bump horsepower up a lot. . . until something breaks).
If anything though, it just means your car sticks out more!
I was off a bit.
15 lbs in 18x8.5
7.0 kg lol

you could always go BBS RE (the normal ones) for 20 lbs in 18x8.5 or 18 lbs in 18x7.5
Thanks for the compliments! I did really want a car the performed well for track duties, racing, etc but also was built and comfortable enough for street use and a nice, fun weekend car for some spirited driving.
But yes Im pretty sure the wheels are right around 15lbs like Saki said. They are in 18x9.5 but if I remember correctly they are right around 15lbs. I will weigh them soon once I get some time to pull one off the car.
haha ya I got them from GMG. They had a couple sets left and were getting rid of them for a pretty decent price so I decided to snatch a pair. Your right tho… Hopefully I dont bend one, that would not be fun. That would leave me with three pretty expensive garage decorations!
Awesome. They’re around (or were) 6000 bucks a set new. Hopefully you got a decent deal.
