*** AL @ CPT is on the case *** (kinda long, no really long)

Auto-x must be a lot different with AWD. Seeing as I have noticed (since a fellow TT owner took a ride in my car yesterday @ the auto-x) that I have NO AWD and my car has never "hooked up" at the start, nor have I had the benefit of quattro, I took my car to Al today and he is on the case.
There could be a ton of things that make the AWD "not" work, might even be a sensor for the e-brake that shuts off power to the rear wheels.

Regardless, I will be back @ Chicago Performance & Tuning sometime soon to get this fixed as well as an alignment so I can HOPEFULLY post some better times @ the next auto-x.

Look out guys, I am getting better at this auto-x thing, someday I might even kick all your butts - *lol

Anyway, I am really looking forward to seeing what quattro can do for me, it looks as though this is how my car has been since I bought it and I had no idea there was an issue until this guy hopped in my car and said "WTF, why are your front tires spinning so much?" I said, I dunno, I thought that was how it was supposed to be - 80% in the front and 20% in the rear, even with the **haldex race controller upgrade it was still spinning the fronts.

So now, Al is going to do some research and I will have my car back there like I said, really soon I hope - 7/23 is the next auto-x, and I told Al, I wanna be READY!

Thanks for reading, feel free to ask any questions.

* - lol is for slowagen and slowagen only.

** Haldex race controller upgrade was done by Al @ CPT and basically pushes more power to the rear wheels, although I have never felt this obviously.

And there was no software added, or at least not that changed anything.
