S3 would be easier to mod (presume you do mod your cars). a chip or ecu flash as they call it will get you from 195kw stock to 228kw. -http://www.oettinger.com.au/oau_audis38p_et.html mind you S4 in Australia only comes with automatic transmission. good thing though for $20k extra you can get an RS4.

yeah S models are worthy of being a real driver's car, but even better, an RS model. some A4s are actually not bad performance cars for example: an 2007 A4 2.0T quattro 6 speed manual weighs at 1450kg +-. a good base for mods, responsive to performance upgrades, fmic, fuel, exhaust and even turbo if you have the budget. basiclly everything we do to our skylines you can apply to the A4. only holdback is the price, blame our tax system for that.

define your "proper one"? agree on TT being rubbish.

Nice find, prototype Z-tune! I alway wanted to see one in action. A lot more hardcore than the production version!

I don't see the purpose of an Elantra in this thread

you mean the next RS5? heard they were also talking about a twin turbo V10 possibly for the RS6.

same chassis as A4/S4 but not really just 2 less doors, for Audis the differences are all in the details. why would you make something completely different if the 4 door is already a winning formula.

dame right its disgusting! just give you an indication an S4 here retails around $130000 so the S5 would be similarly priced if not slightly more.

just want to point out that you might not want to run more than 12psi on an RB25 NEO turbo. the plastic and ceramic parts of turbo will most likely fail at above this boost level.

Not sure of its RRP in Australia. Model Year: 2008 Make: Audi Model: S5 Style: 2dr Coupe Base Price: $53,000 (estimated) Drive Type: All-wheel drive Transmission Type: 6-speed manual Displacement (liters): 4.2 Engine Type: V8 Horsepower (hp @ rpm): 349 @ 7,000 Torque (ft-lbs @ rpm): 325 @ 3,500 Tire Size (front): 255/35ZR19 96Y Tire Size (rear): 255/35ZR19 96Y 1/4 Mile (sec @ mph): 13.3 @ 104.6

that would be the next RS5.

New coupe coming to Australia. What do you think?

Nice shots. Like your interior lighting theme. Well done. Only thing I would suggest is to modify that front bar, get rid of the number plate support and the white cross piece behind it all together. That way you have a larger opening for the intercooler and would look nice and neat as well. Its just too much going on at the front with that bar if you know what I mean. Other than that I like the way you keep it stock look wise.

IBTL! W16 QUAD TURBO FTW!

wouldnt depend on which version of ems? remember stinger don't need afm not sure about older versions.

Torque and horsepower curves that is. I had a discussion with mates regarding dyno graphs and why in most cases an engine's torque and power curves always cross at 5252 rpm? Remember there was a theory about it. Can anyone explain it for us?

Bump

well just get rid of the washer system all together who needs all that extra weight. keep some sorbent toilet wipes in the car and you will be fine. lol to be honest i wash my car every week so never needed to use the washer anyways..

yes of course. pm sent.

ok thanks guys

Thats very smooth. Well done. Any picturs of the rear view? What sort of rear spoiler is that?

offers? need to get rid of parts taking up space in my garage.

QUOTE(kghl @ 3 Aug 2007, 06:53 PM) do you have a R34 alternator for sale? Only have whats listed at the moment. Thanks guys.

you are exactly right. this is how you should really option your porka cayenne.

More about Porsche Cayenne Hybrid Despite the incompetent Greenpeace demonstration last week, Porsche's media release in Stuttgart for their Cayenne SUV hybrid prototype continued as planned. Porsche is looking to reduce fuel consumption by a respectable 25% to 24 mpg. In a vehicle which normally achieves 18 mpg this seems a bit of an oxymoron. Nonetheless, it's a beginning and Porsche plans to include the full-hybrid design, which positions the electric motor and clutch between the combustion engine and transmission, in the 4-door Panamera coupe shortly after the vehicle launches in 2009. Choosing this type of hybrid configuration was mainly due to its compatibility with the existing Cayenne platform. In addition to being the most fuel efficient, acceleration also increases by half a second as well as torque due to the electric motor. At the heart of the full hybrid system is the Hybrid Manager control module which is responsible for 20,000 data parameters compared to 6,000 in a normal engine. Porsche states this, “...is one of the most powerful technologies found in any hybrid vehicle.” Although, it is not the most fuel saving system compared to Toyota's hybrid system, Porsche reassures that they make up for it by reducing frictional losses, more specifically, at highway speeds. Such frictional losses indirectly decreases fuel consumption by removing the hydraulically powered auxiliary components such as: oil pump, air-condition compressor, steering pump and vacuum pump, and converting them to electric powered units. As a result, this parasitic friction normally applied to the engine by these auxiliary components is no longer happening. Instead, they are being powered by a separate electrical source, the hybrid electric motor. According to Motor Trend, the Cayenne will maintain 100% off-road capability unlike its competitor, Lexus RX400h, which warns with a sticker not to go off-road.
