My car was down at there old shop before i owned it. There were wires soldered and left bare. Blobs of solder applied like playto.

Fuel pressure module was placed under the washer bottle and when the fluid would leak out it would short the module and gauge wouldn't work. Bad location boys. Then the MAF wires were stripped for some reason and all taped together bare. This kept blowing fuses and would leave us stuck everytime. Wires looked like they were stripped to probe them but never covered back up just all taped together and shorting out. Lets just say from what i have seen, electical work is not their talents. Fogger fuel pump wires shorting causing the pump to keep running and eventually burn out. The list does go on but i don't wanna come accross as a hater.

Only mods are a 3200 stall, nitrous and KN air filter. Stock LS1 exhaust manifolds, injectors, fuelpump, gears, intake,MAF and the list goes on. The car has a stock A4 tune from a mail order.
Car 60 ft 1.50. It is driven alomost 600km every weekend to and from the track. It runs tens on the same wheels i drive those 600kms..I have recently put headers on the car but haven't been to the track with them on but it felt great on the street..
