Haha, calling for updates on the shipping process = hopeless addict

 

Hehe, just like clicking refresh on the FedEx tracking page every 30 minutes

 

word is you were at Twins yesterday...

 

Tuesday. They needed an ECU screenshot to send to JHM.

And I just refreshed the FedEx page. It's delivered!

 

Haha!

We expect install and tales of hooliganism by tomorrow! I've got to say: I think I'm going to switch cars soon, and I had previously written the S off, but you're making me reconsider...

 

For now, the installation is planned to start Monday morning. Should take a week to get everything done.

What were you thinking if not an S?

 

I'm thinking maybe an A3 3.2, since it has AWD and DSG. I strongly prefer manuals, but I want to get something the wife can drive (she refuses to drive stick), and I think I can live with DSG. It's also a little lighter and smaller than the S, but still has the hatch for my horse-sized Yellow Lab. Power isn't too big of a deal since I'll likely end up turbo'ing it whether it's the 3.2 or 4.2. Also, my car is the best sounding 4-cylinder I've ever heard (took a lot of tweaking ), but I can't get the orchestral nirvana of sound that is a properly-modded 3.2 or 4.2 out of my mind. Either way, it's got to get a minimum of chip, full exhaust, coilovers, sways, and sticky tires before I put more than 100KM on it...

Why can't I just be happy driving a Civic?

 

Crap, Twins is too busy next week so it's been re-scheduled to the week of the 24th

 

No one is happy driving a Civic. Unless it's a Type R

 

Jhm vortech sc + 4.2 v8 is pretty special. Now just imagine if it had forged internals, better flowing heads and tri-y headers
