have you never heard of the old adage “a good retreat is better than a bad stand” psmith? although you may have gone to far already, we can forgive you. the only way that will happen is if you race Pete from a dig. If you lose, you are banned from Audi Revolution and have to put the loss in your signature for three months. If you win, you are allowed to stay on Audi revolution.
This is both retail prices from shop websites. Not what I paid, but also maybe what not you paid either.
So you said barely half which is 50%. In reality you paid 88% of what I paid… Not to mention you have 5x more in appearance and miscellaneous mods than I do.
Clutch delay valve and stop are plastic and do nothing. Also keep in mind the charge pipe also does nothing for power on these cars. But still i’m at $2,010 with the mods listed above. Retail will be slightly higher but still much less than what you quoted above
Hahaha Chris as if anything you say has any merit on here? I find it comical that you think I would really care if I was or was not allowed on here first of all. Second, I don’t think you have any authority over who gets banned just like euroswagr. you have almost less posts than me.
I just got back from heading out and beating on the car that last time for a little bit. I decided to try a launch in the middle at 4k and it worked out pretty well. It held in 1st but then I shifted to 2nd and RPM’s stuck at 6k as the clutch slipped a bit. My friend recorded it but accidentally hit stop and start so it’s two videos. No idea what exactly was missed but I think he got some slipping. I also tried to film some 2nd-3rd pulls and just a 3rd pull. I’m leaving home to head to work but when I get back a little later if I have time tonight i’ll edit it into a video to post. If not today it’ll be up sometime tomorrow afternoon
lol euroswagr. i just felt like throwing that part in. i just found out about this form last night from Pete, and already i like it way better than Audizine.
Here you go. I quickly threw this together because as I said I have to leave. It just finished uploading so probably shitty quality. Give it a few minutes to process and should pick up. I didn’t watch it yet but from my quick glance I think he might have got the clutch slip on video. Anyways here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnxovH12M3g
Typing from my phone so please excuse spelling mistakes.
Anyways where are you seeing that? I just watched and it looks to me like as soon as the car hits 6k rpm i have the clutch in and i’m ready to shift. Same way i’ve driven tw car since i bought it.
Interestingly there was a b6 s4 on his YouTube that dynod 276 whp in fourth gear so they switched over to third gear to make it better lol. It then dynod 305 whp in fourth.
Wonder if it’s the Apr car…and on top of cherry picking what gear to use they also corrected the results up to say 320 whp
That is his buddy’s car, great looking car but all these guys do is dyno their shit. There are like 3 or 4 dyno videos of that car…with zero change in performance parts. This is a group of fucking dyno queens with shitty street racing videos…lol
Like I said…I told both of the. To hit the strip a year ago or more, prove that the APR tuned S4 could put up JHM tuned times and that it truly made 305 or 320 or whatever BS.
Huh? The shop that dynoed his car on that dyno day was M.R. performance. It made 276whp corrected (if i remember) in 4th gear. The shop then came up to him and said they wanted to do 3rd gear pulls because the dyno was getting up to 150+MPH or something like that. He said sure so they did. It made only 304whp uncorrected (if i remember I think it was uncorrected) in 3rd gear. I know that dynos shouldn’t be done in 3rd gear but he let the shop do whatever they want. It’s not like i’m trying to hide anything… In the video it says the gear he dynoed in…
In the ICS dyno as far as I know he was in 4th gear but I can’t be sure as I didn’t see it with my own eyes
Maybe it’s just me but I can’t stand people that just demand everyone take their car to the track. Did you ever realize that some people don’t want to take the risk. The B6 owner has never launched his car and doesn’t plan on it. He has over 120k miles on the OEM clutch and really doesn’t want to have it go out from my conversations with him.
In regards to me I will go to the track eventually. Will it be to please you or any other drivers of god’s chariot - NO. I will go whenever I am ready and feel comfortable going. As of now who knows when that will be. I would prefer to wait until I have a new clutch but someone on e90post just informed me of an event on the 17th that I might try to make.
I’m most likely going to stop replying to this thread and leave it at this. The fact of the matter is that my mind is not going to change, nor will any of yours. You keep launching your car how you want, and I will keep launching my car how I want. Different strokes for different folks. In regards to Auditude if we wind up never running or getting times to compare, feel free to assume you won. If that helps you to sleep better at night then i’d rather that. I am not going to put my car at risk or do something I am uncomfortable with just in an attempt to prove a few people wrong. Again you can think whatever you want and if you want to assume your car is faster so be it. I’m extremely happy with the way my car performs and looks and hopefully you feel the same way about yours.
Really? Because I can’t stand people who talk a whole load of shit and then fuck off with their tail between their legs.
If you are giving auditude the win (forfeiting) you owe him $50 and you need to change your signature. Here and e90 post.
I will also start a thread over there with quotes about how you bitched out here so badly after shit talking the b8 s4 and auditude in general. The BMW guys in general will not have much respect for you after this. Not really representing the platform very well, not to mention being a complete cock about it.
Honestly Mr. Keyboard warrior, I do not give a fuck what you do. Do as you please I do not care. I can assure you I don’t care about my internet reputation on here, e90post, or anywhere to be honest. I don’t think your goal in making a post like this would hurt the reputation of someone who has been a member on e90post for over 2 years, has over 2.5k posts, and helps people out all the time. But hey if that’s the kind of thing that gets you going then go for it. I welcome you to try.
I am not forfeiting what I am merely saying is the following which I guess you could not figure out. I do not have the energy to continue this “discussion” anymore. If I have the time to go to the track, or auditude comes and runs me that is wonderful. If neither of the above happens I no longer care. I am happy enough with my car that I don’t need to compare it to others or have anything to prove. Thus is the reason why I said if none of the above happens and it continues on as it does now (all I have is dyno numbers) he can assume whatever he wants if it makes him sleep better at night.
The main point is I just don’t care or have the time anymore. To be completely honest I don’t know why I cared in the first place, but i’ve realized how much of my time i’ve wasted in this stupid shit. What people think of either me or the car I drive on the internet has no effect. You are all entitled to your own opinions.
Feel free to post whatever you want wherever you want, what I have wanted to say is done. I most likely won’t be posting back here again unless I check in and feel the need to, however, I am going to do my best to refrain from doing so.
