The new GTA type Alfas look pretty nice too, got some go in that thing :D

They are SO sweet! i want one!!

u cane the crap out of it if it's a A3 1.8 turbo, audi feels very torqey, but dreadfully slow against the clock, but if it's a S3 be prepared to get cane. as with audis ther are many obstacles to clear in regards to modifications , it's not just as simples as bump the boost and hope to hell, the management on them are very smart and will pull back power if it sense more than regualted power is being deliver, did u know that on a hot day it bumps the boost up and reduces it on a cold day to keep power constant.

It is a A3 1.8t.

I know there are many skylines in the 10's-11's but here is one quick A4 1.8 Turbo Quattro:

Gone in 12.1 seconds

This is as far as I know the quickest daily driver A4 in the world. Its in Victoria as well.

The video shows the run, I can't quite tell but in the other lane it looks like a skyline to me...:shake: hehe

Not bad for 1.8 litres.

A healthy tuned gtst of the ilk you describe will put down a sub 14 1/4 mile pass. Go buy a Whiteline KCA349 rear diff cradle kit (bout $100) to make sure you hook up off the line a little easier.

Put a light flywheel in and you can get mid 13's with 10 psi of boost.

The A3 does a 15 second 1/4 mile, high 15's on a 'real' dragstrip (magazine tests are conducted on road surfaces wich always yeild better times --- think g-tech, this goes for the factory skyline car claims)

errr:confused:......so what's with the drag strip's surface that gives us slower times?

extra slippery?:burnout:

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
