my vt2 took nearly a month to get to my door as they had to order al the parts in....

Im planning on getting stage 1 for now and probably upgrade it to stage 2 later on. Im sure even with the stage 1 it'll be a blast to drive it.

quick question, when you guys received your car(stage1), were you instructed to take it easy on the car for the first couple miles or could you floor it right away? (as a test of performance i mean not all the time)

The instruction say,( Test drive the vehicle for a few miles under normal driving conditions, listen for any noises, vibrations or anything that does not seem normal. The supercharger makes a little noise at idle which is normal. Drive the car soft for the first 320km/200miles to break it in.)I used up a tank of gas then gave it a go.

I'm still debating between ESS vt1 or VFE Stage I

jair_onsa · 04-25-2012, 09:35 AM

out of topic, are you the one that raced an e92 m3 and left it standing?

ZStig · 04-26-2012, 01:21 PM

I raced a stock audi sedan yesterday as a joke. Used partial throttle in 2nd gear to keep up, and then mashed it at 5000rpm and it looked like he threw his car in reverse. Hahahahaha. Love my sleeper status with the stock exhaust and blacked out intercooler
