Who wants to buy a broken car?

 

"Ran when parked"

 

Interestingly, I think this is the same wrap thats on TJ Hunts car. It really does sparkle.

 

 

Suspension sagged too much while parked.

Which car?

 

 

Mate, defog those headlights or get some new ones. Please.

Yeah. I've tried using polishing compound, and it helped some, but it's fogged on the inside too, and they are freaking expensive to replace.

lol, less than 100 meters from the exit of the hospital`s parking lot (visited dad twice today, once a little earlier in the morning and once a bit later on in the day) we (me and grandpa) get pulled over by some cops who instantly begin inspecting every millimeter of the 86, asking for paperwork and all because it is clearly heavily modified. i show them everything they ask for and they are clearly bummed because they were hoping to bust someone in an illegaly modified vehicle. (at the end when all was cleared up and they knew the car was 110% legal one of them asked for me to rev it because he loves the sound of a 4age with trumpets (this one was clearly a car guy while the other one looked like a big question mark and kept asking why we called the car an 86 when it was a 1983 corolla)

[chaozbandit]

Neat, forgot the TT car had DRS and a bunch of ProDrive goodies. Same engine as the road car but 900lbs lighter, and with WRC suspension and gearbox.

lol, but seriously. the ride of your dreams isnt worth the jailtime you`d get if you got pulled over in it and it was illegal.

(norway takes quite strongly to illegaly modified cars)

 

but at the same time, you REALLY need to push some huge things through tiny loopholes to get any substantially modified car registered for street use. (for an example the rollcage in the 86, it is leal because the car is registered on the same basis as a rally car, same with suspension and engine, registered on the same basis as a rally car. (the starlet was older than 30 years when i started modifying it so all i had to do was get my plans aproved and pay one hefty tax exemption thing to get it registered as a normal car, while dad who modified his 86 when it was close to 10 years old had to go through piles of laws, loopholes and legal work but he didnt have to pay such a high price for it as he only had to pay for re-registering it with its new specifications))

That is a pain in the ass it sounds like.

meh, it is easier now a days because you just need a simple sketch and to pay a fee if your plans get aproved. (the fee is 1000~usd) while back when dad built the 86 the road legality of the car was allways hanging on by a thin thread untill they changed the laws and removed the laws wich endangered the 86`s road legality. (dads mr2 is in the middle of all this and it is required of you to pay a small fee (plus show them plans and documentation showing what you want to do)

ikr. Its pretty insane. That's not the brightest model either I think lol. Got them for cheap through a friend of mine.

For APR for Audi B5 A4's its an ECU software upgrade. With a aftermarket exhaust its a 50-60HP gain and 74-82 torque gain, depending on engine model/code 1.8T wise. There really isn't anything for the 2.8 V6, those cars are only good for 4.2 swaps  That's pretty good jump coming from a stock figure of 150HP/162 Torque.

what do you mean there isn't really anything for the 2.8 v6? those things have huge potential. i've seen people hit over 400hp on stage 3. on pump gas.

[chaozbandit]

Pick.

My dads 3.0T(S?) in his C7 A6 can make 436hp and 372 tq on the APR stage 1 tune on 93 octane.

 

stage 2 has a supercharger pulley and stuff and it'll make 452hp and 387tq on 93 Octane.

 

Stock the car makes 310hp and 325tq lol

 

so he's hoping he can get the stage 1 soonish!  Don't think stage 2 is worth the extra $600

dafuq. i wish i had performance packages that performed that well. i feel like audi restricted these engines on purpose from factory to force people to buy upgrades to increase power if they feel stock isn't enough.

http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/news/a29965/aston-martin-am-rb-001-highest-rpm/ i don't think it is. i've seen a suzuki cappuccino rev that high, if not, higher.

We're low on food and need to go to the store. Ran outta milk yesterday so I couldn't chow down on the Special K like normal. 

yeah i remember i need cereal, bc i ran out last week and i forgot to buy it this week. and i'm starting to run out of crap to eat. right now i'm just chowing down on an apple, hoping it keeps me till lunch.

[iDeFecZx]

Hype! (Mine should be here in a few days time)  

[bcredeur97]

I just ate some leftover pizza I found in the fridge. 

 

What I eat daily seems to be whatever I find in the fridge lol

Yesterday I had two bags of popcorn, some chocolate chips, an apple and cheese, finished off the remaining bag of goldfish, and my standard 1/2 case of Gatorade.

Looks pretty well set up for small tire comp. (10.5" IIRC, I'm not much of a drag guy).

I'm used to see "drag cars" with more meat on the back

But if it does fine I can't argue with that

NHRA runs quite a few "Small Tire" classes that just keep prices down so more people can get involved. The really big money stuff is all "Big Tire" which is more of what people are used to thinking about when people talk about drag cars.

I think you mean the 2.7TT V6 from the S4. The NA 2.8 from the A4 there isnt too much you can do and its expensive. The main thing i've seen is throwing a PES supercharger on it, adding 100HP but thats 4 grand to do. There isnt some magic chip that adds power like the 1.8T.
