super mate, i dont understand all the comments about no fun etc etc...
maybe the regular 225 is different...but this thing always puts a smile on my face, the driving postion with the recaro's and the alcontara steering wheel is perfect and you never tire of that turbo coming in :D
its...
no mate, pistons rods etc uprated...
this is the kit..from backdraft motorsport :)
Garrett GT2871R ball bearing turbo
Hi Flow cast manifold
3” SS downpipe and sports cat (Decat avialable at no extra cost. Not for highway use)
3” SS Inlet pipe
SS Charge pipe
Silicone connecting hoses...
ride is very slightly firmer than OEM...but its not crashy or bouncy like it was standard, feels much more composed on the road!
they can be set slightly softer if i wish...but they are fine for now :D
400bhp...here we come! :D
what a difference!! looks a new car now and handles so flat! also got the KW rear tie bars so i could get the camber and everything all set-up perfectly
few crap pics...nice n low :D
:)
the car was traded in to the audi dealer who made a few calls and had it sold to a guy down near gatwick before they even took it in! :)
I pick up my coilovers this friday, get it nice n low and then ive got my eye on these babies....
also...ali came down yesterday so i could fit my old...
i mean....put them at the start of a B road...and the audi would just disappear
i guess its what some described the car as being boring...but...its A-B pace is stunning! :D and the turbo is just addictive...never had a turbo car before
should be even better with stage 2 revo, full milltek...
feels so nice to be in...and driving it hard doesnt feel like its going to break
i dont "love" it in the emotional way like the v6....i dont think many cars could give u that feeling but as a complete package of speed, build quality, safety, comfort and the ability to tune the arse off...
what a fantastic car....extremely quick when the turbo boosts up...and thats before any tuning!!!! definate grin factor all the way..and probably the nicest driving position ive ever sat in! :)
already ordered fully adjustable coilovers for it.. :rasp:
so easy to go fast...didnt realise...
removing my recaro's now and the passenger side seat belt holder at the bottom which bolts onto the sill with one large bolt...has worn off its torx shaped bit...and appears extremely tight..leaving me unable to get it out using methods i can think off....:(:(
anyone else had this...
ahhhhh sooo it IS a 182 then??
this car is local to me...i see it most nights but Ive been struggling to work out what the feck it actually was...
it has a non RS grille...an old style tailgate lock, the shittest bodykit ever known to man, but has 2.0L badges and interior...im not even...
i would have been there if i hadnt been working :(:(
im definately up for one of those nites out though...provided i can stay at the hilton de ali's house..
(separate beds and all that though mate eh) :rasp:
