I put S3 w/toys on my car with 74k on the clock! (recently has a timing belt, idler puller, tensioner and water pump put it) I am also on my stock clutch and stock brakes and pads!
thats it I am no jealous! The amount of money I have put into suspension/rims/tires I could have had one, but NOOOOOOOOOOO I was a dumbass instead
^Lol Actually you were smart. The first things people overlook is suspension on these cars hence why the many SRT-4's that have been totaled. When power is put in place of the suspension the worse can happen. My car is suspension heavily while my wife's S3 only has lowering spring (Eibach ProKit). Her car desperately needs suspension work. The power is nice but I feel safer in my car just because I can keep it on the ground. But yeah I feel your pain Chris Time to update your sig
That and there was no way in hell I was gonna help you pull that turbo...............at least not with out a little somethin somethin first :king:
But I have suspension and wheels too.... BC coilovers, Hotchkis sport package, Prothane LCA bushings, DC rear strut bar, and Enkei wheels. =) I need better rubber though.
My car is one of the only worldly things I care about at this time besides religion, family and friends of course. Still kind of sad.
Where can I go in SoCal that has parts for my car on the shelf? Autobacs is close would that be my best chance?
Its going to be difficult to find a place locally that has parts in stock on the shelf for these cars. Most owners of these cars order their parts online while some over the phone and just wait for them to come in. Same goes for those who decide to buy parts used and the seller is out of the area they live in. The only performance shop/store around my area that carries something for the SRT-4 has only MSD 8.5mm Spark Plug wires. So I have to outsource anything else I want. I would order directly from the company that makes the parts if they allow that. Its cheaper that way. You get a company that is just a distributor/vendor for some company that makes part and you be paying more then whats listed on the other company's website.
I have needswings dp, jmb cai, agp wga, dsp, cca bfmic, and My last dyno was 290whp 350tq. No fuel upgrades yet. Before that with the stage 1 i put down 255whp 320tq. Just to give you and idea of what the dsp dose....
