Wrong quote, dang phone.


Maybe you have seen my IPL then. If the plate says JOS IPL then it my car. Well the wifes name on it but I am the only one who really drives it. We hardly drive it though. I haven't even put 3k on it this year.

Of course man. It always good to be the selected few to have a car. It will turn heads more. That's why every time there is a Lambo, Aston or high end cars they turn heads cause it is rare.

Well it depends. If they fixed all the little stuff like the seat bubble, interior rattles, seat belt and all that stuff then maybe.

Right now I am trying to see if I will be staying in Dallas next year or moving to S.A but either or probably gonna buy a bmw 335i or the supercharge s5.

Sweet, 2 excellent choices! I'm not a big fan of Audi, but that S5 is just brutal Love the sound, the interior is nice (given that it looks the same than most VWs), but that S5 badge means you're business

Yeah I was going to get it like 2 months ago but I might not be in Dallas much longer. So waiting to see if it is final or not. Test drove the new s5 and damn it has so much low end tq. Not even funny.

S5 badge also means a lot of hours logged with your Service Department :-)

Have you thought about putting bolt on for your G? Could increase the power.

Nope it never crossed my mind.






Actually there were members here who got almost every bolt on you can get and only made 320-330 to the wheels. Spent like 10G on it and got hardly any gains.

Bolt-ons for power are a waste of money. They're mainly for aesthetics...either aural or visual. FI is the only proven method of power for the money.

Well, HFC is a gain of 15HP to the wheels. I did a before and after dyno. I am not going to go FI but i am going to add a few more bolt ons to get me past 350. i am almost there. But everything helps out. I only put the light weight crank pulley, exhaust, HFC, CAI, Grounding kit, and tune the car and now i am putting 327 to the wheels.

even with the mods you posted it comes out to be some where around 4500 to 5k
with that you can get a supercharger

Well, for me i got the CAI, HFC, Crank pulley, exhaust, for all under 2k so far. Unless you want to count my tune then i am just a little over 2k. for me i am not going FI so if i can break 350 i will be happy.

This is exactly why I went with the G.

Infiniti gave me both power & luxury which is exactly what I was looking for.
It's hard to come by a car that has both for a great price.

I am almost there. I know i can hit it. It's just when i have the money to buy the last 2 things. Well, either this semester or next is when i am getting the aluminum drive shaft. That will free up a lot right there.
