It's been a while since i posted here.
After I wrote of the 197, I got a b7 A4. It didn't last even a year, hit some oil on the site of a recent accident and wrote that one off to.
In the meantime I've been passively looking for a good clean 172/cup to turn into some sort of a track car - but...
installed the springs yesterday... yes it 'could' go lower, but the 4cm that H&R advertise was just too much, I barely manage to drive normaly with eibachs on the poor streets here. The springs will settle a tad (as everyone knows)
no other mods except tints all around and custom plates...
tints all around and (old model) rs6 18" wheels.
very happy with the car so far...
plans are a remap (still can't get a decent shop to do it for me) so it should hopefully see 235/240 bhp and a lot of torque...
and it will be lowered 4cm in the next few weeks (last pics...
as some of you know, i crashed my car.
Bought a new one so dont want to spend the money fixing this one....not worth it.
anyway, i was thinking of selling it for parts.
what should i ask for the engine, and how much for the gearbox?
they are in perfect condition.
havent been on the forums for a while.
first of all i'd appreciate if the mods didn't move this to 'other marques' etc.
the 'new''car is a B7 audi a4 2.0tfsi quattro. it's a US market version.
the car is pretty much loaded with everything but sat-nav (don't really need it) . Leather, heated...
photos from a local forum, and cars are all pretty much 'local' to my city.
The amount of fail is unbelievable.
Here it goes :
and the winner ... I bet you have NEVER seen anything like this
just bored...havent posted anything in a while (obviously) so few quick snaps of my car as it waits for organ donours ;)
...awaits the 'what happened'? questions !
I (was) fcuked up !
lost the back end, tried to correct it but at that speed and with bad tyres, it resulted in me hitting the guard rail with the front right side, rorating,then hittingthe rear right side and then returning to my lane ... the rear passenger hit his head a bit because he was asleep at the moment...
my (Varta) battery died today, so I went and boght a new one.
This one appears to be a bit bigger in size even though it's the same capacity - Bosch 56AH and now the cover wont fit.
Any thoughts?
probably a repost and most likely a stupid question :o
a quick photoshop of a picture i just dug up..
one of my favourites.
So i did a quick radial blur and the two.point.zero logo - i'm thinking of making a small sticker like that, a bit like the "1*2/197 inside" stickers that a lot ofe people have.
what ya think?
not on a track, not much space to manouver, so not very fast but still...
TBH only on the first part of the vid you can the back end step out A BIT, the rest is just tyre screech

on second thought..don't even watch the video :o
turned the AC on full blast yesterday, the air-con compresor started whining soon and I noticed that the car was idling at lower revs.
I reved it a bit and when I released the pedal the revs droped a lot (below idle) and the car juddered.
Happened every time I reved the car and the AC was...
not great quality.
Didn't have time to take more photos as the road is being closed for some work.
and the clio IS lowered, but on some photos looks like a 4x4 because it's on uneven groun :o . and I know i need spacers :rasp:
i started a topic about car not starting a few days ago...
After a whole day of not working, tommorow morning I tried my luck and after 10 tries it started, worked on 3 cylinders and after a lot of revs it sprang back to life. After that the engine started perfectly every time.
took it to the...
28 degrees centigrade today... so a a few quick snaps (the car is washed after a long time) ..been having troubles with it (injectors and/or fuel pump, changed the gearbox oil, cruise control not working etc )
but it is a good looking car :clown:

turn up the volume.
and if I put one hand on the tire and 'jerk' the wheel left and right very quickly I can feel some sort of BUMP in the middle..like a vibration.
i've been to the dealers once and they just tightened something up.
Seems only miracle will get them to order me a...
not really...this is a snapshot from a video, just thought it looked cool :o
Got a new set of tyres so I thought the old ones should go up in smoke..literaly :D And I almost NEVER did a burnout so wanted to know what the fuss is about.boring imho.
and some more picture wh0r1ng while I'm here...
yesterday we found out a friend is working as the security guard at a local miltary airfield so...u know what happened next.
The airfield is not in use, so its empty, perfectly straight and loooooong

having problems lately...have to ask the gearbox very politely to go from neutral to 1st, and from 2nd to 1st even at the LOWEST speed.
the problem goes away (almost) when warmed up but it's really anoying to stand at the ligths and j3rk the gearknob lol

never used a machine to polish a car so wouldn't know much...
and this friend is offering this at a ridiculously low price so don't wanna miss out.It beats working by hand eh!?
Are these things any good?
the polish is by MAN ..whatever that company is :)
beautiful day... couple of friends hoped on their bikes so we went driving just for the fun of it.
Me in the clio felt ..sad and slow... with them buzzing on their KTM's and GSXR's , going around me like I was standing still.
They also sound amazing (even without Akrapovich exhausts).
i was...
