He ended up gettin a awd touareg! He wanted automatic and something comfortable for him and gf to enjoy driving into the mountains in the winter.

I agree...I just thought it was funny to hear her perspective since she doesn't care about cars and I thought for SURE she'd not find it smooth since it's a stage 3 clutch. Pleasantly surprised! Honestly, kinda cool to have a clutch that almost nobody can drive smoothly without a LOT of practice on it.

I wonder how much diff the stage 3 is from the stage 2. My wife drives my car without any trouble, the stage 2 clutch is OEM like.

And yea J, I've lost traction in 1st gear a while back, even with PSS tires, although I'm still on the stock 245 size. Feels like it needs at least a 265 wide tire to grab at WOT.

Took her around the block...she was like, not sure this makes sense but your black one had power, but it was like pussy power...this thing has fucking balls...it puts me in my seat, kinda torquey or something. It's smoother than the black one, much better... She's a trip.
She is crazy in a good way lol. Glad everything worked out for you man. Now get to swapping everything over and stop being a pusssaayyyyyyy

Same thing my wife said when I took her out. We tested the TSX and the base TL so she thought she knew what to expect until I mashed the pedal and threw her back in her seat.

Then she ripper her blouse off, straddled me and made passionate love to me as I red-lined into the sunset to Ludacris' "2 Fast 2 Furious" :rockyboy:

No plans...
but I'm beat.

Suspension install out of a box is much better than swapping. 2 fucking installs.

Edit: I am curious though, what did JJH pick up to replace his Type-S? He had a hell of a build thread at one point.
JJH picked up a 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan RLine 4motion

Jeremy, forgive me for cluttering your thread, but I'm going to sneak one in (okay, two)

J, I thought your black TL was perfect. Definitely one of, if not the most cohesively modified cars I've seen on this site. Had a similar reaction to Left Coast Tyler

Saw your avatar on another thread and I was like WTFBBQ why does he have someone else's car as his avatar. His car is perfect.

WTFBBQ WHY DOES HIS SIG NOT SAY 2004 TL?? HIS CAR IS PERFECT.


And then I was like oh... oh wow. That looks good. This can turn out pretty well.
You are kind of like the Ferrari of AZ. You had an old car that was perfect, like the Ferrari 430. But this new one is, like... perfecter (458).

tl;dr: Congrats!

I heavily considered it, man...the koni/h&r actually rode really nicely, but I could not just leave a fully adjustable coilover on my old car due to laziness. In addition, I also couldn't justify spending any money for a new suspension when the tein were holding up just fine.

Sneak em in, baby! This can be OUR thread.

maybe...one day. Definitely more probable than having to find a 07 ECU to put on my 04 and THEN get a tune.

Gdman...Aman...thank you!
Honestly, that was the hardest part for me. Coming home with this foreign vehicle and parking it behind my OG baby and thinking, why did I do this, she was complete and lookin fly. But, in the end, I KNOW that when i make this car my own style...it'll all be worth it.

Thanks, man! I had a very productive weekend with some suspension swapping, brake pads swapping, rear rusty caliper painting and exhaust fixing up and swapping. Busy busy busy but I don't want to wait so long that it's daunting to update the thread...so I'll continue on my journey to penguin land. Hopefully today!

Great pick up Rockstar! Loved your NBP TL as everybody has said, so I'm sure this one will be cared for just as much if not more. Nice work sir!

Oh, and you may want to take a gander at my recently posted thread in Car Talk...jussayin

well obviously you're biting off more than you can check... of the 3, i think the latter is least important and as such, you should just stop doing it altogether and focus on the former 2...
