Todays Test Drive Was Bought To U By The Letter "s"


Recommended Posts

went for a test drive today in the only rs4 demo car in aus.

Its a bit like an m5 in that its a piece of cake to drive normally and goes quite hard, then you press "S" and it gets a little gruff. It pulls like a train in any gear all the way up to redline. 0-100 took all of "fu(k me that was fast, oh crap we're doing 160!"

The brakes on it are another thing, the brake peddal is stepped so that it is closer to the driver than the go fast peddal, so when you stomp them heal towing is easy to do, espically with the steering wheel that has a flat bottom.

All in all i want one, and am willing to pay one off over the next eleventy billion years.

nice one Jarrod. :D

Those things are so expensive I'm afraid to even look at one let alone drive it!

...adds to the list of things i will never own.

The real question is when will an Audi skunk works throw twin turbos on one?

MTM already has i think.......because the RS4 is too slow for those AUTOBARN freeks---Crazy germans

i remember reading something last month about some tool in NZ who ended up writing off one of the only RS4s in the country on a test drive haha

be pretty cool to be able to say it though...

"yeah... well i wrote off an RS4..."

drove the bosses Audi A3 turbo the other day and its actually a quick little f***er! front wheel drive is a bit of a shame because whack it in S and turn off the traction control and it will spin them easily... would be a blast tuned for a little more top end and rwd... they should do an RS3... I can only dream what an RS4 is like to drive

PCOTY I belive form Motor mag last year..or wheels cant remember have to dig it out.

I saw one not long back on some back roads past Warrendyte. I was on my way to work in the line and he gunned it. I gunned it...it was fast...but i dont thnk it totally cained it cos I kept up.

last year they had a black one on BBS 19's sooo awesome! yeah mums got the S4 same engine but hasnt got all the track compontents like suspension as the RS4. give me the B4 series/model with the twin snails anyday. although the torqy v8 is awesome!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
