Can't wait till Spring...
 
So, the car is in the shop getting some springs installed. I decided to go with some H&Rs over Coilovers as my first 6TT was a little harsh with Coilovers and I'm hoping the H&Rs will be a bit softer.

Took a couple pictures (below) of the car at stock ride height for comparison sake and will post more pictures once the H&Rs are installed.

Shout out to Mike at RSS for the hook up on the springs and the freebies. :cool:

Also can't wait I am speaking with Robin/Tony at EPL for some Tial A28 Turbos, injectors and their tune (93 at 1.3/1.4 bar). Thinking with the exhaust on the car, I might be able to get 550 to 600 to the wheels. Foresee myself doing a clutch shortly and then be ready to pull the trigger on the EPL kit. Also, I will plan on heading down town to an AWD Dyno to get some before and after numbers and of course will plan on hitting MIR to see trap speeds to compare numbers.

Lastly, I am getting excited again with this car and doing some things to it. Also looking forward to working with EPL and a couple local shops that have been more than fantastic to worth with.

Congrats on the motivation to beef it up. How about some open track racing? Any chance to get you to Summit or VIR next year?

Maybe! I plan on taking a trip down to Leeds to attend the Precision Driving Course on April 22, 2011. Birthday present to myself. :cool:

Grats Allen!!!! That's awesome buddy. Looking forward to the build my man!!!! Bring her by or I can stop by myself. Let's do a cruise to Annapolis when it's back from the shop. Scotty Boy - Let's cruise together. I think I'm going to do some track events in 2011 too. Let me know the dates you're signed up for.

Looking good Allen, I've been waiting to see pixs of your beauty.

I recently found out that my car is a "x50"; so I as well have the itch to take her down the track to get a baseline before I start modding. = )

What exhaust is that btw?

Almo Dec 29, 2010 04:58 PM

Oh X50... $1300 dollar Turbo upgrade for 550 to the wheels from stock will be a blast.
The car came with the Speedtech Crossflow and I love it!

Got the car back later this evening and was able to click a couple pictures of it back in the garage. So glad the 4X4 stance is gone.

Allen,

Congrats on the car. I think your exhaust tips are on in reverse. The twin tips are designed to tuck up high to the bumper cut-out like this...I'm pretty certain that if you take the right one and put it on the left and vice-versa, you will have a fit more like these pictures. Of course if you prefer them like you have them installed, then leave them alone - the sound will be the same either way :-)

PM me if you would like and I will be happy to answer any questions about the exhaust.

Thanks John! I ended working them up from where they originally sat which was much lower than current. That said, I'll take some close ups and send you way to see if we can figure these bad boys out.

Thanks again and the exhaust is absolutely perfect for my taste.

Cheers,
Allen

John@SpeedTech Dec 29, 2010 06:22 PM

Sounds like a plan. Glad to hear you're enjoying it!

k-ore Dec 29, 2010 07:00 PM

I def need to hear how that crossflow sounds, Allen.

Car looks great w/the stance and the wheels!

Thanks! Bill's choice going with the Speedtech was right on and made my life much easier. It is very mild at idle and under little load but WOT really brings the sound to life... I haven't noticed any drone but then again I usually have the radio up a bit.

I want to get a few together making a run to Annapolis to grab a bite to eat... maybe meet us there?

You need to get me those wheels so I can go to town on them for ya. :D

Cheers,
Allen

I'm game as long as I have enough notice. :D

I'll get together w/you once the holidays are done in regards to the wheels; stuff is just very hectic w/the family since the holidays are a busy time. :cool:
