the X section is pretty bad.

at least tephra and some of the other guys have devoted a lot of time to the X so there are occasionally very good tuning threads in the X section.

it's been especially bad lately because of all the new people buying the 2010's. we had a break after the end of 2008 because the 2009's were canceled. pretty much all of the early 2008 threads were like a replay of the 2003 threads with the viii coming out.

where did you go?

the only problem is i hate putting miles on the audi- the wife does enough driving for her daily commute (about 20k miles a year, I put about 7k miles a year on my evo)

I'm told a blue flame "licks the air" when I shift at WOT but I've never seen it.
This rain really sucks. I haven't driven my car much at all the last month and when I finally do it's bumper to bumper traffic and rain.

James, I would take the Audi. So much more comfortable and cruise friendly.

Josh, I hear ya. This month has been the opposite for me. I've actually put almost 1k on my car this month, thats a lot for me. That being said, it sat in the garage today, but it got dirty yesterday.

Well seems like my car fell apart at the track. Getting a fast whine when pushing down the clutch to go into second and also when letting off the throttle in 1st gear. Jon at rip seems to think my input shaft is on its way out.
