Hawt!!

Mine is feral at the moment. Has been for a while and is more than likely to stay that way for a while too. I've been working my butt off trying to finish Naomi's car.

Is yours lowered? I can't remember. The stance looks good!

Sarge, that's a cool little rocket you've got yourself there.

We looked seriously at getting one earlier in the year, we loved the way it drove, the interior, the exterior, the entire package.

But alas, the person that was going to drive it every day wandered into an Audi dealership, and well, the rest is history.

I was amased how well the standard car we drove put the not inconsiderable standard power and torque to the ground, it hustled along very nicely indeed.

great to finally see your car mate, keep up good work. I understand the engine in these cars is a very robust unit, and a LOT of power can be brought out if you're brave enough, and have the resources to do so.

How many fwk did it make stock, and how many does it make now?

cheers

texas

Thanks Tex.

Yeah there is quite a bit you can do to these puppies and with Nizpro now should a resound interest in them, exciting times ahead!

Stock: around 130kw at the wheels, running the tune that I am SHOULD see around 170-180kw at the wheels (including the mods I have to go with the tune).

LS/LT look the goods in Silver. Doesn't seem to be the case with LV though. Blue/White are the best in LV i reckon

Agreed. Although red surprises the hell out of me everytime I see it.
Not only because you never see red but when you do it's hot as all get out!

If I had the choice over again, I think I'd go for red.

I will never ever own another red car sun is torture on them up here. I had an XR6 in red and if you dont look after the paint they will end up a nice shade of pink.
That said i seen a red LT the other day it looks sechs

Negative.

Though I hadn't planned any additions to the car when I bought it.

I have my eyes on a coyote in the near future, so adding anything else seems silly.

Specially since the only other mod I want is a Quaife LSD, and spending ~$1,600 while knowing full well I only plan to get rid of it doesn't add up.
