Default sorry, off topic...

Well.... i just purchased a front pair of Koni adjustables to go along with my Spax rear adjustables, installed them myself and went looking for a good test run.....

btw.... the car is lowered 2" with Spax non-adj springs.... air box mod...Forge 007....and B6 sport wheels w/ goodyear eagle rsa 235 55......and tip!

So i am headed a few miles from my house(SoCal) where there's a fun 3 mile canyon road i love to smash..... unfortunatly it is the middle of the day on a sat. and there is way too much traffic.... so i tail off to another road i had never taken before and it turned out to be another great 3-4 mile twisty run... as i'm taking my first few turns the car is hadling great! I am very supprised at how flat the car was staying with no anti-roll bar or sway bars.... then out of no where a black G35 dumped on some rims comes up behind me seeing that i was having too much fun by myself.... so i kick back into high gear with the tip and start smashing the turns to see what kind of driver we got here.... he was hanging pretty good but i was still pulling throught the initial turns... he would catch up on the straight away.... but everytime, throught the twisty parts the audi was handling very strong and pulling ahead. i was happy... just need that engine managment chip to boost her up to 14psi and 245lb torque and i would have never seen that black G35 again [sm=wootwoot.gif]

Yeah, I live in the South Shores area and have been on many cool PV roads. The problem is that area get's a little congested with slow cars way too often, but if you can get a clear patch then it's awesome.

Cheers!
