Its ok if he is talking about the event I am sure he is talking about....Well none of the real SCCA people even go to this event. There is a major lack of safety, and most people that go their are ricers with FWD that try to drift.

I hate the stereotypical drifters. It's people like you who embarrass the hell out of everyone else on here for being associated with drifting. I drift, but I'm sure as hell no "drifter".

Lol, so do you retract your previous statements?

You must still be wet behind the ears if you think I'm explaining anything to you, now enough with this horse shittery and back to helping NA drivers. Well, except you.

ok cool, i think i wil for sure, now i have some exhaust questions... i have a leak coming from my mannifold and want to deffinately replace that but since i have an s4, i need the backpressure tube to stay, and if im not mistaken, that comes off of the 2nd cat, would just getting headers and mufflers be a decent upgrade, and if not, what full kits will bolt up and not make me hve to fab. something to mount that back pressure piping?

The S5 ran the 5/6 ports off the air pump so if you still have that you're fine.

please do not waste time on springs.

if you are going to be drifting and/or driving your car at all springs are the biggest waste of time. unless your driving a luxury vehicle, then springs are ok for lowering with good ride comfort.

if you are going to drive your car hard at all, GET COILOVERS.

Is it cheaper to piece together the parts for coilovers, or just buy coilovers?
