Default Car update

So I decided as a last ditch effort to just dump a bunch of money to fix *all* the problems and finish out the Stage III kit. Dropped the car off at Hartmann for a new clutch, new axle, find the mysterious coolant leak, replace improper turbo bolts, and anything else that's busted when they get it on the lift. This comes after spending $1100 on tires this weekend after cording my tires on a big *** pothole. =(

The good news is, they found the coolant leak (bad after run pump as I suspected), the axle and clutch will be done by Friday...Stage III parts aren't quite all in yet so that has to wait, just want to make sure everything's running properly before increasing the HP/tq, but for once the car actually looks like it will be trouble-free :-O

I'm excited!!

Default Yup, he's been slammed lately...yesterday he was out for a Cover shoot for Eurotuner

The Hartmann S4 should be the May cover car for Eurotuner I guess...
