~400hp before i build the head and we are shooting for 500hp after the head is built and I have methanol injection...i got this b5 as my first car from a family friend so I am not going to be picky and say no when it was offered. I know quattro is whats up but this is what I have and if u dont like it oh well I really dont care to hear about how I should be awd. Thanks for checking out my build.

 

I like it! Keep us updated on it!

 

when will you get the car back? make some vids for us will ya?

 

I went to the shop today...car will be back in my hands hopefully in 2 weeks

videos will definitely be posted

 

don't get me or any of us wrong.... a 400hp fwd will feel almost all of that power v a quattro car with the 22% loss.... but when it comes to putting that power down you will have to watch wheel spin and tq steer right off the bat

 

I'm really interested in this, as I drive a FWD as well. With just a chip I can spin the front tires pretty much all through first gear on dry pavement, with original clutch and Falken FK-452 225/45/17 tires. In other words my car isn't all that special...

Hoping you get some vids from outside the car, so we can see/hear how much your front tires hate you

 

the torque steer isn't as bad as most other fwd cars, u really just spin...when i hit 30psi with my old k04(overboost) in 2nd gear i would spin but not have the car torque steer...I am content with my FWD, and there's no fun roads here anyway just flat highways

 

yea, she's gunna pull for sure


i vote FWD in THIS case

 

thats what im saying dude....there are vrt golfs down here shitting on vipers

 

whoops just drooled...
