Please excuse my ignorance, but with regard to your Infinity, what does FBO mean? I'm also in a '13 R car, and I love it, but I've been on the VW wagon for a while. I'm curious why you are switching back to VW from what I imagine was a very fine car in your G37.
The TDI in my profile was involuntarily retired by a white Suburban.
Cadubya was right FBO is full bolt on.
I made the switch because, while I absolutely LOVED the G37S, all its power was from 4500-8200 RPM. It pulled crazy hard up top but it was lacking in low end torque. In the mountains and canyons that was amazing, being able to keep it in 2nd and 3rd gear and keep the revs real high was so much fun. The exhaust note was intoxicating. But, around town, stop light to stop light was rather boring. It took effort to beat someone off the line if you needed to get in their lane for a turn because of that lack of low end power.
The clutch in the G and Nissan Z cars is also horrendous. It made me feel like I didn't know how to drive a manual even though Ive been driving one for the past 5 years.
I bought the R because it was 5 years newer, comparable interior quality, comparable handling (I'd wager to say the R wins this because of the AWD and being able to put power down faster out of corners), and the low end power makes it much more fun around town.
FBO = Full Bolt On
It's the term the kids are using these days.
I don't get it either. All my mods bolt on. My Garett turbo bolted right on.
I mean, I've always gathered that full bolt ons means anything that isn't a major modification like adding a turbo or a supercharger. But technically they do bolt on.
