Well its offical. In a couple weeks, my new car will be in and the balt will be gone.

Finally found something I am in love with.

05 Audi iS4
4.2 V8 - 340hp
AWD
Silver with black interior
Nav/Sunroof/Lowering springs
6 speed tranny

This thing is sick. It was actually one of the audi reps cars that Matt K from Keystone Ford is bringing in for me. The car is killer fast. wow. I didnt even know they made a v8 audi with a 6 speed and awd. Im lovin it.

thought

oh yeah, those s4s and s8s are nice.

wow man thats crazy. i hope they got all the bugs straightened out from the prototypes.didnt alot of the orignal testers get rid of them?

06 pursuit gt

i think its wickedss and rotomusprime both had newer ones and are running strong still. couple fitment issues with the protos but thats really the only complaints ive heard. if you've read something ive overlooked.. please post it.

leahciM

Yah I was just kidding around, it will hold up for street use no problem I'm sure.

Only time I'd be worried was if you wanted to race it at the track with dr's or slicks.

But thats awesome that you're getting it, can't wait to see it in action

06 pursuit gt

yeah i kinda figured you were, you know lots about these cars.
if i take it to the track it will probably be in street tires but id still take it easy.

im not saying naything bad about it, i remeber alot of fitmint issues with the bottom bolts.i know raven had 1 and doesnt anymore. just heard alot ofpeople trying to sell them after having them for a bit.but non-the less...great deal

06 pursuit gt

oh, im not saying you did. ive researched alot about this and if there's anything you think i should know that i may have overlooked please say so. any input is good input.

Projekt

sean and courtney might not be the only ones particapting in a tvs deal

leahciM

jumping junipers batman. does it work on the 2.4 too?

Projekt

ive talked to harrop about it, pretty much they dont recommend it because it was never designed for it, but it will work, same as putting the m62 on the 2.4...pretty much

leahciM

well that'd be sweeeeeet..... then we'll have a few cobalts who can shows thos hondas whats what

Projekt

haha dont get me wrong tho..id much rather get rid of my car before dumping money like that into it.

oh and apparently theres a 315 hp cobalt ss/sc driving around town.

guy i work with is good friends with a guy who owns a company making lots of money..apparently his brother has shares in the company and bought a cobalt ss/sc, a dyno, and dumped like 11,000 bucks into his car and got it to 315 whp.

this is just what i heard down the vine...

Thought You Were Refering To Kenny's Car, Anyone Know What His Is Pushing?

Projekt

nope. last name is kennedy not tataryn

06 pursuit gt

11k is alot for 315 hp. with the tvs a full 3 inch exhaust and a good tune your probably netting that for maybe 4k. granted probably not all of his mods were performance.
i would think kenny's car is 300+ hp

Projekt

yeah again this is just what i heard..by the sounds of it..this guy doesnt really care about money lol. he bought a cobalt ss because he wanted a car "no one would expect to be fast"

Hey Sean. Yeah, I am planning on having the TVS running by the end of summer. My build will kinda look like this, in three steps:

(Have the 3" RD Fabs intake on now) Interceptor gauge, Dual pass and Option B and CX Racing H/E - to be installed in the next month or two.

After that, I'll be putting on the Clear Image 3" exhaust system, and an LC-1.

Then the last item will be 60s, NGK 1 steps, TVS and tune.

Somewhere along the way I will need new tires and I'm thinking rotated motor mounts and possibly driveshaft stage 2s. So far, I've only budgeted up to the TVS. But I was seriously thinking of trading the balt in for something different (currently my desktop background) but I decided building it would be cheaper......At least for a couple years.
