RS4 Chit Chat - random RS4 talk that may not be worthy of a whole thread

oh yeah, that was awesome. I wish we had more photos of that mangled welding mess.

that sounds amazing, pretty loud for DD though. I don’t think that type of sound is possible on an S4

anyone got anything on the EPL tune? Fuck the Tubi lol.

I assure you, an S4 wih JHM headers, catless 2.5" FI downpipes, and non-res 2.5" FI exhaust with x-pipe, is on par with that as far as loudness…and it sounds crazy!

Just listen to this absolute beast http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8Im_QCPFoQ

And this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkOK9Y3vv7M&feature=endscreen&NR=1 Not the best video/sound quality but holy crap that sounds freaking insane!

hahaha, fuck you. I got em, but have opted out of sharing them. Say what you want (the obvious) but it was a lot of fun when cruising around and sounded pretty darn good (piggies and x pipe to nothing else basically). Now I just have a F.I. that vast decided to weld together and I had to use a air grinder to un-weld, thanks vast. . . .

Karsty is right…watch my youtube video of s4/rs4 dragstrip day…the first clip is 2.5 catless + FI b7 s4 revving then 2.75 full catless + catback rs4 revving, side by side. The s4 is a million times louder. P.s. This is a good preview for ny07rs4 for his jhm exhaust

The idling lumpy cammy sound is a big fomestic behind the camera

I want to add a note here. I was pulled over friday for sound.

Saki remember the service road that goes up to the audi dealer you came to see me at?

I did a hard 1,2,3 up that twisty road which is uphill. It was LOUD!

I get into the dealership to pick up some parts i ordered and next thingi knew a cop car was behind me, cop was out and YELLING at me…

This is how the conversation went:

[quote]cop “WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THING YOUR DOING?” He was about 20 feet away from me.

me “Are you yelling at me sir?” (at this point i figure he is after me for no front plate)

cop “What the fuck was that back there?”

me “Sir im not sure i follow that your refering to”

cop “are you in some kind of hurry?”

me " what do you mean?" (he was already pissed for some reasoin but now i guess he thinks im playing dumb. But i REALLY had no idea what the fuck he was talking about and im sure it showed in my confused face)

cop “you came up that god damn hill like a fucking maniac”

me " sir my car just sounds loud, i let off the gas at 70 km/h"

cop “give me you papers… im taking your car for stunt driving”

me “Really? going 70 km/h in a 70km/h zone is considered stunt driving?”

cop went to his car, came back 5 min later and just said “you pull that shit again i WILL take your car”
[/quote]
so yeah… its LOUD! lol

What a prick. I keep hearing about all these stories of cops being complete and utter douchebags.
Unfortunately, I don’t hear many of cops acting respectful and cordial…

I do have one story. Last week I was driving down a street amongst traffic. 50 zone but school signs were flashing so lowered down to 40. I was behind two other cars (they were doing 45) and I was doing 40.
Therefore, the gap between me and the car in front got wider. Then, suddenly, a female cop storms out onto the street and flags me and the driver behind me down. I pull over, I turn the car off and wait. The cop is talking to the driver behind me and I’m wondering wtf just happened. Cop finally comes over to me so I lower my window and she tells me she was pulling over the guy behind me and not me. That I was free to go and THANKED me for being cautious and pulling over just in case. She was older (fifties) and extremely sweet. Very nice and respectful. I answer no problem, started the car and drove away.

There are some nice respectful traffic cops out there. They’re just so damn hard to find…

what a fucking geek cop

they think that law makes them superfuckingheroes. I hate it.

For those who don’t know, there’s a new law called stunt driving that includes shit like doing donuts, burnouts, sqealing tires or speeding more than 30mph over the limit. That carries an immediate 7 day suspension of license, 7 day impound, $2000 (minimum) to $10,000 fine, enough demerit points and insurance hit that you may as well have been driving drunk…and about $750 in fees for the impound that, EVEN IF FOUND NOT GUILTY…you still have to pay and never get back.

So basically if a cop gets mad at you he can say ‘you were doing xxx’ and it costs you $750. Get pulled over for going 10mph over the limit and mouth off? Stunt driving charge out of thin air means you’re fucked for $750 even if you have it on video that he made it up.

Recently they’ve added another thing to the stunt driving law - turning left ahead of traffic when you don’t have an advance green turn arrow. a.k.a. the light turns green and you’re waiting to turn left…th epeople on the other side are slow to react to the light, you go ahead of them…BAM. Stunt driving. Clearly the cops are trying to take the courts out of the picture, and lobbying the government to be able to levy these fees/fines/penalties at the side of the road, without the person having the right to a trial by a judge and or jury of his peers.

Bullshit. Gives the cops too much fucking authority, and takes away our right to due process.

lol the turning left thing is the norm in Boston… thats absurd though (the entire stunt driving system), just another measure of control/limitation of rights

yup

a friend of mine was a scholarship athlete at BYU and he said that was a totally common move in Utah. Pretty funny.

That’s rough. I have never seen someone turn left before the other cars go like that. It wouldn’t be a ticket here if you did it unless you did it in a reckless - hang your tail out kind of way.

30mph or more over the speed limit gets your car impounded FOR GOOD. As does street racing. We have it pretty easy in Illinois compared to other states - for example, a 29mph over the limit ticket is only $90. If you are over 24 you can get court supervision through the mail. Pay $70 for your court class, wait 6 months, and it’s off your record. For people under 24, its the same but you have to actually go to court and pay the $155 court fine

^lol, wtf $90? Thats $290 here, if they dont hit you with everything else in the book.

For a while (maybe still the case), Mass had the highest rate of traffic violations… they try their best to take your money at any oppurtunity here

so 29mph over, you get a $90 fine…and 1mph more than that, you lose your $60,000 car? That’s fair.

Seriously. And it would seem at 23mph you owe $155 instead of $90 at 29mph? Huh?

You do find good cops around the place.

For example I had some douche pull out in front of me and proceed to do about 10kms under the limit (I was travelling 10 over at the time). We hit a school zone which is back down to 40. There happens to be a set of lights which were red. Just enough time for me to forget that it’s a school zone and get pissed off at the speed at which this idiot was taking off at. Traffic setup perfectly for an undertake, which I did. Next thing I know there is a cop on the side of the road pointing at me telling me to get over.

Only thing to do was take the next side street and sit and wait. About 10-15 minutes later the cop wanders around the corner and genuinely looks surprised to still see me sitting there.

Ended up getting a telling off for do 30 over and a warning instead of instantly loosing my license for 3 months.

over 29 mph and lose your car for good? That can’t be right can it? how is that legal to take a fine that is variable based on the value of the perpetrators vehicle? I need to check Texas laws, I have been 30+ over too many times, of course it is always on the highway when absolutely nobody is around and very rare, but scary to know that my car could be stolen from me.

Yeah that wasn’t right apparently. If it’s street racing, you lose your car for good. They auction it off and you lose your license.

30 over: Class B misdemeanor, which has a penalty of up to six months jail and mandatory $1500 fine

40 over: Class A misdemeanor. up to one year in jail and a mandatory fine of $2500.

Yeah, I ran into all types of cops around my way. Fortunately some are my friends. I actually had one block the road for me so he could see me race another car… Another I used to go to the track with regularly.

I got caught for doing 44Kmh over the speed limit, It cost me $650 and loss of license for 3 months. If he had booked me for 1 more over I would have lost it for 6 months and got a $1000 fine.
