Yes this is 2.0HDI engine 110KM and 280Nm torque. Now i made some changes :) and ... 190KM and 405Nm :DQuote:

Nice gain - chipped, i'm guessing?
^- i like the coupe version of that model :)
Those numbers don't seem right for a 2l HDI - even with an aggressive remap it would be ~150-160bhp.Quote:

as an example, the subuaru i had was 280bhp as standard, fitted with a +40bhp chip, uprated fuel rail, fuel regulator, recirc valve, bigger injectors, more powerful fuel pump, ram air intake with strictly cold air supply & exhaust .. added all up the car should have been pushing more than 400bhp
roll roaded at 336bhp if i remember and only achieved 342bhp after a further remap. including a competition clutch (that only lasted 23,000 miles), that lot cost more than 6,000 GPB .... or 13,000 dollors on exchange rate.
and thats on a naturally high asperating car. given the gains on percentage, a smaller horsey powered smoker would not gain as much
the passat tdi i have now is rated at 130bhp, i havent altered it apart from a air filter to allow better breathing and outweigh replacement elements. its quick and does over 50mpg treated right, the f'kin scoobby only did 4-12mpg
oh the money spent adding to al gores pie chart figures!
And more mods :)Quote:

I've got a thing for carbon fiber
are those TE-37 Time Attacks ? :slobber:
Yup, 18x9.5 +35mm offset. It was the widest wheel I could throw on it without running a widebody kit (275/35 FTW).
Mmmmmm... rice. :rolleyes:;):p:Quote:

The truck makes up for it, but only so far since its not a Ford... :p:Quote:

I think you ment to say, carbon fiber is far from nice. :up:Quote:

5kg each!!! 5!!! Consider if you will, each door on its own weighs over 4 times that much :D
Of course, these would be sprayed the same colour as the car, to be unnoticeable from stock parts ;)
Thats the only way... unpainted black carbon fiber is repulsive to me. :shrug:Quote:

My front fenders are made of CF as well, but I had them painted because the rice was starting to jam my fail sensors. Anyway, I'd stay away from CF doors unless you're going to put a cage in your car. The CF crap thats on my car is pointless and I'd advise people to spend their money on track days and a good set of coil-overs (none of that JDM crap).Quote:

The car will still be rigid and safe enough in a crash...its not fibreglass!
I've seen some iffy composite work done over the years. The only way I'd run CF doors is if they were made with pre-preg CF and a nomex honeycomb core while still working with the OEM impact beems. Using parts that require an autoclave to make will usaully weed out most of the unsafe fiberglass/foam core filth on the market. I'm just saying be careful with those doors because anyone can make a CF part, but few can do it correctiy.
S2 are pro's at this sort of stuff....and there are no such impact beams in these doors of mine ;)
the scooby (subuaru) wrx had aluminium bonnet and boot or trunk as said in the US. lifting either was a feeling like you were incredibly strong. only thing was, the aluminium dented in a more nasty
Aluminum hood. I don't think the trunk lid is alu. I'm pretty sure its steel.Quote:

I don't own any car, but my parents own 2 BMW's.
One is a BMW E53 X5 from 2002. Has a 3.0i engine in it and various packages installed.
The other is a BMW E46 325xi from 2004. Has a 2.5 liter in it and is similarly specced as the X5 with an extra cold weather package. I would love to have this car, if it only had a manual in it. Will still probably be my first car.
Here's my '93 Formula. I've had it for over 8 years now. Wife's Tahoe in the background.

Nice. I've never really been a mucsle car guy or drag racer, but I've got nothing but respect for those things. My friend Jeff out in Maryland that owns one of the fastest Trans-Ams in the country (over 1200hp to the wheels) did some civic guy dirty on the 2nd season of PINKS. That thing is a beast.Quote:

That's a lot in numbers but in reality I really can't tell the different.
Expecting an exhaust to get you a second in 0-60 might be your issue. MR-2's are cool though, I have a friend with a turbo model and it scoots. For me it's half about doing the work and enjoying that time, and half about going too fast.
Agreed! Ive went out for 2 hour drives every night this week after work, they help me relax :up: I waxed it this morning, found some decent off the shelf wax because i was out of zaino. The Meguiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0 is actually a ton better than the gen 1 stuff was. The car looks gorgeous I just wish I wasnt trapped at work until 8pm tonight.Quote:

evo beat the lot hands down. even the scooby, and that will upset alot of fans. the yaw control is awesome, shifting power to whatever corner is needed. you can corner faster and have less chance of losing it when you drive like an idiot. the active diff thingy means its heavier than its contender - the impreza, but its faster and more agile.
they are quite an expensive buy compared to the scooby though, but they do hold their price better too.

They are Ford Motorsports 2003 Cobra Wheels 17x9 with 255/40 Sumitomo HTR Z III's. Needs paint badly too.

Your next one better be an S5 :D
Thats exactly what I'm looking at buying this coming November.
well... I'm also considering sacrificing comfort for flat out brute performance. A new Lotus Exige. :)
Nice cars man. Did you won the lottery or something? :shocked:Quote:

The latest Audi I had specially ordered in late 2006 so it would have a "one of a kind" paint color (Sprint Blue Pearl Effect is an RS4 color only) to use at the 2006 SEMA convention in Los Vegas. At the time I was running Oettinger Performance GmbH here in the United States, but since my car arrived two weeks too late, the Oettinger body kit/wheels/exhaust/etc ended up going on my friends 2006 Audi S4 Avant.
Here is his S4 Avant.... I'm still pissed the ship from germany was late, causing me to put my body kit on my friends car for SEMA.

Gas mileage sucks enough in my 2.0T A4. The V8 is considerably worse.Quote:

Plus, I'm 6'2" and fit in an Exige just fine, even when wearing a helmet on the track.
I'd rather crash with the S5 though...I've seen pictures of an Exige hitting a tree:(
nice looking Evo Andrew.

About 1/3 way through the video you see a me pass him and for the rest of the video, he trys to play catch-up.
He was alone in his car, which should have been faster. I had street tires and a passenger with me.

Too expensive to maintain for what i'd use them for.
Going for a cheaper 2wd truck for daily and a used 4x4 for winter/beating ;)

Too much work to make the bronco stand up to my standards plus its way top heavy and no box.
Boss has an F-150 of the same year, i'll pass on that one if it handles anything remotely close to his..
It was the Bronco IIs that were top heavy and tipped over. The Big broncos were basically F-series, same front clip, just a different cab. The thing is though, that is an Eddie-Bauer bronco, its not for offroading since it has the highest trim level ford offered.Quote:

Yup, my dad has 180,000 on a 1989 F150 4x4 (300ci 6cyl, lim slip, 3.73) and he just replaced all of his front tierods and everything else, was wearing out the tires like hell. :shakes:Quote:

Thats a good point, rangers are nice trucks but the fuel issue with any truck kind of castrates any ambition to own one to some extent. :(Quote:

A Dodge Dakota wouldn't be bad, but it sucks to find a newer one that's in my price range.
I'm not tubbing it, and without doing that there is no way I'll get 10.5's on there with ranger axles. Plus I like the Ford pieces and I'd like to do the same all around so I can rotate, but maybe I'll go to like 275's on the rear.Quote:

More fun to put them in a "small" 4x4 though. 30mpg easier than the full size truck and lighter overall.
I'd love a newer Dodge Ram with a Cummins diesel, but 1) out of my budget and 2) every time I'd fill it up, it would feel like I got kicked in the balls :rofl:Quote:
