RedDevil Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Posted December 17, 2012 Trust me I will as this is my first car with a sc. Before it was all VW/Audi (s) with turbos. Also the car I got has the works package as well. Also I am pretty sure there has been other mods done. So far I know of a intake 15% pulley and possibly the suspension.... need to get it to a lift or someone who knows what they are looking at....lol

She is still under observation... :security: and now Tigger is too. I am under zombie watch since getting my knee surgery which included a cadaver part. Recently Tigger needed his control arm bushings replaced, so he had knee surgery like Mommy. But he got new parts, so I don't think he'll become a zombie.

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 So it was your bushing that were bad the day i picked up the wheels? Yup, control arms and bushings or something like that. Also the camber looked a lot better after I took all the weight out of the back seat. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
