They are nothing even close to stiff.. They ride like a caddy on the street actually.. I used to street drive them on my RS and loved the road feel..

Good to know... I've used Apexi N1's and Cusco Zero 2R and both were too stiff for mixed varieties of roads. Will consider these D2's. Can you try to describe how these D2's feel compared to some stock bilsteins?

Ah the grey car I assume. That was a nice looking car. Not one of my favorite turbos or all time but a decent performer for the price point.

Al, I must say man you make the most motivating videos I've ever watched. Out of all the big time tuners in the Evo community, you probably relate the most to the average weekend warrior that works a regular 9-5 to only go and enjoy their car at the track on the weekend. Although you may not have the "World's Quickest" this or the "World's Fastest" that, you keep your motivation and continue to go out there and try to 1 up your last run. Anyways just wanted to say thanks man for doing what you do. Keep the moto videos coming!

Yes I have to agree.. Al is the closest there is to the weekend warrior of all the big names.. The guy yells and screams no matter what time the car runs as long as it runs well.. His enthusiasm is like no other person i know that is involved in this community.. I love the videos as well.. He says a lot things that hit home!!

Thanks Bro

I just wanted to say that my only motivation is to enjoy the sensation of a fast Evo. This is what has been driving me since day one in the spring of 2003 when I was the first to go 11's in a USDM EVo 8 at the same Atco track.

Now that I have established myself on the list, of coursem being #13 I will start this year off easy and work my way up the list one at a time and try and take out #12. It was a shame to knock off the old #15 but what can I say - racing is a ***** and the the time clock don't lie.

I am actually hard at work at this moment removing my head from the car and swapping my turbo back housing to get back to the combination I had before that was trapping 150 plus mph with this tiny turbo

Everything looks 100% perfect in the Buschur Motor so I was very pleased

I should have it all back together and back on the dyno later tonight or perhaps tomorrow evening after I tune a few customers tomorrow

Buschur is one hard core dude, he stopped by here the other day and helped me with some problem I was having. He has more talent in one finger than I have in my entire body. It was very humerous when George saw him and could not even recognize who it was despite the fact that he walks around all day saying Buschur Power to just about everyone he meets. I wish I had my camera ready for that moment.

I was very happy to share with him the success the Buschur motors are having this year already filling the list up with total domination.

PS - Don't forget my AWD DriveShaft or I will be forced to make a video of myself removing one from your Evo in the hotel as you sleep !
