Worcester/Boston Social Thread
Am I crazy for wanting to get back into VW/Audi? I love my Evo, but I love the new S5...so sexy. Decient performance and nice luxery. I would never trade the Evo, not worth it, but the few times I see an S5 (like 3 times I think and I think 2 of them were just plain A5's) I think "Damn, that's a car I would consider to replace the Evo with...eventually." That or the 135i, but not if I was still living here in NE. Now if I was stationed back in WA or down south, hell yea.
So tell me, am I crazy?

Haha. If I had a clue how to take a tranny out I would but instead I washed and waxed the Evo. I cant believe how dirty it was and how much sand was on my carpets. Another reason why I hate driving the Evo in the winter.
Hey Turco, do you think a 3" IC will provide enough cooling for a FP Red turbo? I'd love to get a Perrin 3.5" but I may have to get something a lil cheaper but if a 3" cant handle a FP Red I may just bite the bullet and get the Perrin. Is the Perrin a direct bolt on or did you have to trim some things?

rice....
while out on a drive today (a friend got an 06 sti today so we went for a drive) we ran into a town named Rice, MN....
this is the outcome... only the number is photo shopped... this is another friend's poser sti... has the loudest bov ive ever heard. and the most riced out exhaust tone... we are going to chop off the X in WRX because we named the car Wild Rice today after a different sign we saw in the town of Rice.
Figured it was good for a laugh

I'm sure you ment to say crappy monday, no?
Took the dog out this morning it's raining, no biggie. Go shave/shower/etc go back outside 20 mins or so later and theres a ton of snow on the ground slick as ice (probably was mostly). Had my first "close" call going down my hill today. Thankfully the people on the road were paying attention. I've never locked the brakes on that hill, never even kicked in the ABS...very very fun morning.

Most aftermarket ICs will "work" with a red. I would make sure you get specs, CFM flow, pressure drop, core type. Then make sure it fits what you need. The silver perrin is $610 shipped, there aren't too many ICs that can beat that price regardless of size especially with cast endtanks.

it was just raining down here at that time
i cant believe we had such a nice weekend
and 24 hours later we get sleet&snow
Morning guys,
I've been lurking lately, doing a lot of research for the gvr4 and such. She'll be coming together nicely soon enough. I have gathered majority of all the main components for her in my basement and am stripping the engine bay now to prep for sanding and paint (engine bay only).
The lancer is back, running better than ever (knock on wood) 2200$ later of course... So I'm keeping her, not worth it to sell it for 6000$ after blowing 2000 on the tranny issues.
Is it me or was it not supposed to snow this morning...?
