Thanks! 50k km’s (31k miles). Bone stock. No documentation of carbon clean being done so that’s on the list for the near future, although the car runs just fine.
London car? Nope, don’t think so.
There were two 08 sprint ti cars in London. One was sold two years ago and the other 3 years ago.
wondering if this was one of them. There aren’t many.
Wow nice low miles on that beast and it’s a stocker. I always prefer stock vs modded when car shopping. Any big plans for it?
was this the london car that moved?

It was in Cambridge, ON back in 2010.
I’d like to do a JHM short shifter, tranny and rear diff mounts and eventually when I save up a bit I’d like to do an exhaust and JHM tune. Pretty basic stuff, don’t need to go crazy with the car.
What sucks is I bought a tranny mount, rear diff mount, engine mounts and short shifter for my last RS4. The short shifter was the only thing I installed before I sold the car. I ended up selling the other parts to members on here I believe. Now I have to buy the parts again and pay more(damn exchange rate).
New wheels - Avant Garde M590 19x9.5, 255/35 but might try 265/35 next time around
Car is at the shop now, I am going to do the Billstein PSS9 coilovers since my front shock is blown.
Other notable mods:
JHM tune
JHM front and rear lightweight rotors
JHM short shifter
JHM IM spacers
Milltek exhaust & fleabay downpipes (soon to be JHM)
GruppeM & 034 MAF hose … yeah yeah save it

^That’s a nice mod list so far! RS4 looks sharp too, but I’d say a bit lower would be spot on
Please post pix once you mount those 265/35s on 19x9.5, always wanted to see how’d that look.
Ohh well, you win some you lose some lol good thing these weren’t big ticket items. Anyways sounds like a plan! Congrats again on that beast of yours!

those always look nice.
265 35 is awkward…a bit bigger than stock and you’re lowered with reasonably wide wheels so be careful. I’d try 275.30.19 instead.
Also funny is how hard it is to buy other stuff than JHM. It takes a while but you eventually realise nobody else is even trying compared to them.
Wheels look good…
But do you think you can handle having JHM parts? Your buddies may start attacking you because of the parts you chose.

Thanks guys!
Yeah Saki I ran a 285/30/19 when I bought Saif’s cast Rotiform SNA wheels, which got destroyed on NJ pothole filled roads. I want to at least have a 35 tire, I was actually even considering switching to 18" Volks at one point, but they got sold out from underneath me, and I ended up buying that second pair of forged Rotiforms (that you guys didn’t seem to fancy :D) … Needless to say I got rid of those wheels after having some rubbing issues, and ordered these AG wheels before tearing my fender liners to shreds. I am really happy with the choice. Got them with OEM TPMS and all, no lights, no fuss.
And Euro, we all know that not everyone on every forum approves of JHM parts, but I certainly do from my experience with them! Just waiting to get in a couple more freelance projects before I take the plunge and order their full exhaust system with downpipes, but it’s absolutely next on the list. The Milltek / XSpower setup I have right now is great, sounds fantastic (to me and have gotten many compliments) although it does drone and I have had this setup for a couple years now, time to step up to the big league 2.75" club 8)
With a good driver, what do you guys think my car should do with these modifications in a quarter mile? I just got carbon cleaned at 78k miles, just rolled over 80k now. Always use Shell 93 vPower and the tires are 255/35 Continental DWS. Let’s assume the car has the JHM 2.75" on it too, I know the Milltek is pretty restrictive…
Hard to say. Stock, if you drive it well but not in perfect condition and not excellent driving, should be 13.0@106.
Add tune and decat your stock downpipes and you’re looking at around 12.50@110 (milltek is basically a replica of the stock catback and 2.50 catless pongpipes are basically like stockers decatted)
Add some lightweight rotating parts and you’re at 12.40@111
Drive it really well maybe 12.3@112
These all assume a low da day in sunny conditions and a 1.85 or so launch and 3 decent shifts.
Throw in a 1.97 60’ and shift like grandma and you’re looking at 13.0@107 modified and 13.5@102 stock
