more cars wont help, less cars with more drives is cheaper. they will assign 1 driver to each car as a full time driver, that occasional **** wont work if theres a car for every driver
thats true we are all assigned to a car as a full time driver. But we get a multi-car disscount. That what i was refering too.

RS, canadians get screwed hard with insurance... people in most parts of the US pay far less than us. It's pretty sad... there is NO way I could insure an S4 for under 4K with collision... my a4 without collision is 2200 or so, with collision its 3300 I think.
When I had my trans am, I was paying 426 a month, without collision... the guy who I bought the trans am from... was selling it because his insurance just jumped to 11500 a year, due to a non-disclosure, which was added to his record.

just when i began to doubt the some of the characters on this forum audiboy comes through and brings back my faith. there is a ton that can be done to a 30v port and polishing s/c or turbo, management upgrades, etc. get the charger and do exhaust and intake, then when you get tired of it send the heads out for a extrude hone and do copper gaskets to lower the compression a tad, then throw on a smaller pulley and make more boost. after that car is aver 400 hp easily.
Not a chance in hell or it would have been done already.

The biggest problem is the fact there is no IC on the car and this is the biggest restriction for the kit and buy polishing and adding the copper rings would not get you any ware near the 400hp mark. The PES kits are only truly good for around 270-280hp mark and generally less than that if your running 91RON. Breaking the 300 mark is a major hurdle for the PES kit and only the G1 kits are capable of that right now.

PES are currently trying to develop an IC for the G2 kit but this will take some tome and there is no guarantees that they will market one.

And as for fitting a Turbo, yes its been done at the cost of over $10k and it does not work correctly and he only has 7.5psi where as the PES kit produces 8.5psi so not worth the money.

If you have the money then the S4 would be the way to go because you can achieve 345bhp exhaust, plus the sports cats/downpipes and a chip.

I'm selling my 2.8SC as I now have a 1.8T with Full RS4 bodyand intend to tune that to around 350-400hp mark using the G28RS kit or maybe another turbo but with all the internals done.

I know it is a f355... however, I could have sworn it was an MR2, with EXTENSIVE work... a ferrari knock off, but with power to back up the looks. I might have been high on paint or something... but I honestly think I saw in a post on another audi forum that that car is indeed, a Toyota MR2.

docurly... am I drugged up on fumes?
