Proud owner of a 2013 RS.

[GTAHVIT]

Just picked up my sonic on trade... I'm a Camaro convert.

The 70 miles I drive a day combined with downtown stop and go traffic just made the supercharged beast really impractical.

I'm pretty stoked to jump in to this FWD thing and do something different.


time to get to my

on.

OH man... the TBSS is nice.

Gah... you never really appreciate what you have until you have to go without...

I caught myself giggling at the throw on the stock shifter in the RS... after having an MGW short throw in the camaro... so the first mod will be an STS.

:banana:

yeah lol, and thats assuming someone ever makes a full sts for the rs. from what i've seen so far, the only thing available is a shifter bracket of some sort that reduces the throw distance, but the rest of everything else with the shifter is stock, i want TWM to come out with something, i hate the 3 foot tall stock shifter -__-

yeah, I did a ton of reading last night... seems like there was something in the works... but not out just yet?

I was dealing with a bit of confusion when reading about the STS installs and guys are talking about getting under the hood, removing the ECM and battery....

I was thinking, "why would you do that.... OOOOOHHHH FWD."

Need to get my head on straight... lol And I have a TON to learn about turbos...

There's a lot more going on there than with a blower.

 

[sonic_braaappp]

yeah blowers are simple: engine turns belt, belt turns supercharger=boost. turbos on the other hand, exhaust goes in, witchcraft happens and suddenly you're going faster

 

[GTAHVIT]

lol,

Clearly, all boost is not created equally.....

 

[sonic_braaappp]

yeah, one takes horsepower to make horsepower, and the other relies on fancy voodoo magic... B.S!!! haha
