@ben_p ... I know. I even have a shortshifter but still I feel like I'm killing a unicorn every time I try to shift like I did in the 197.
The stock clutch and flywheel are almost gone.
Here's another video from tonight.
3rd gear from 1000 rpm I hold pretty good and then he kills me in 4th...
tbh I don't know if it's the vid or smth else. The car pulls from 2000 rpm as you can see on the graph in the first post. There is no turbo lag and no 'kick in the back'.
My car is in the 'range' of an e46 m3, and quicker then most things on the road. I am having some boost issues at the moment...
what?
I thought that nonsense was only for the first series of the new nissan gtr ?
I don't even think s3 has a 'launch control' in that sense of a way?
I could be wrong :) Putting it in S and 'dumping' the brake is launch control?
that could (in theory) be practical only if you were braking hard in a straight line.
doubt you could swerve to avoid something with locked up wheels :p
it does, especially 4th gear :)
But I can't seem to leave newer audis with dsg from a 'dig' ... only bmw m3 /335 etc . They spin and I fly away :)
s3 is a damn fast car and is SICK with a bigger turbo kit.
Are you considering a downpipe with a sports cat or a decat even? that's another 15ish bhp
ofcourse not :D
keeping it as OEM looking as I can :)
plans are - 3inch downpipes to free up another dozen or so horsepower
- wheels painted in gunmetal, lime green brake calipers
i generally like the interior of all audis, and hate the bmw's.
The 'fake wood' in here is gash though. I will be doing all the little bits in either carbon (if it doesn't look chav/racey) or flat/piano black.
It goes like this (poor videos, slipping clutch but you get the general idea). 0-60...
