Thanks Puck, sometimes I wonder the same thing haha. Yeah and stage 3+ would be ideal, maybe a while down the road. bounce

why not wait a few more months and just go stage 3 instead of fucking around with a k04?

It's true.. K04 is going to run you 1500-2000 if im correct.. plus software.....wait a bit more and do it right ! Thumb Up

I might, I just dont want to set all my hopes on a stage 3 yet because I have other things to be completed before upgrading the turbo. Who knows maybe way down the road yes. Its just not that practical for me at this time.

Subject: Re: Project: Retta **Painted & Rims** Mon Jun 22, 2009 10:57 am

k04 probably isn't practical either then........

i was wondering the same thing..he gets more shit then me done and i work 77 hrs a week.. bounce

Subject: Re: Project: Retta **Painted & Rims** Mon Jun 22, 2009 11:40 am

I suppose, getting stage 3 would probably require about 15-20hours/week at Staples haha
lol!

Subject: Re: Project: Retta **Painted & Rims** Mon Jun 22, 2009 12:23 pm

Yeah for sure. I think Puck was kidding anyway. Wait a few years till you're getting more hours at better pay and then go for it. Cool

Subject: Re: Project: Retta **Painted & Rims** Mon Jun 22, 2009 12:55 pm

Yeah exactly lol this is my DD and I would figure around 200-210WHP is a little more reliable than lets say 290-300WHP and also alot cheaper to pull off. Dont be hating its the route I chose to take.

hah...anything I ever say should never be taken seriously....unless accompanied by the quote "seriously".....seriously.

I'm just lovin' the random shit all you guys are pulling off with your cars. It keeps the scene alive and well. And Sweetland...well his cars speak for themselves. Not bad for starting the scene on a jacked-up 4x4 Corolla rockin 17s...seriously Cool

Subject: Re: Project: Retta **Painted & Rims** Mon Jun 22, 2009 12:58 pm

i still think i liked the jetta front end better, maybe once there is a grill/ all one color it will look better. either way should look good.

Subject: Re: Project: Retta **Painted & Rims** Mon Jun 22, 2009 1:01 pm

oh it will

Project: Retta **Painted & Rims** _MG_5760-2

Right click, save. Front mount and I'm really liking the Cupra lip alot. I might have to add that to the list too.
