That will likely get me seat, rear hatch, brakes, led headlighs, front and rear diffuser, GT carbon winglets, wheels and various interior bits I want (Alcantara headliner etc)... |

QUOTE (alpharx7 @ Dec 9 2013, 03:47 PM)  ^^^ build an old school car instead, lots more bang for your buck doing that. I'd still sell your other car though booked it in to get fitted and tuned yet?  Hmmm not really. I strongly doubt that you could build an old school car for 55k that would match it performance wise while still remaining a place I'd want to spend time. And even if you could, it would still not be what im after. Ie: a luxury sedan inside, a 9-11 killer on the track and a supercar on the outside. Very happy with what I chose... Just am looking to optimise what's already there. I did however look at old cars (67 Impalas mostly) with an idea of getting one as a cruiser and still having enough to spend on the Audi... But they would just eat up too much of the budget. |

Ok at first I thought fk me $55k then when I look and just the brake package is $20k, Seats, $12k or $9k for pov pack recaros, $20k for spoiler, diffuser kit, I can see how it adds up, way out of my hobby budget, lol |

Jeebus, that is total spank for maybe $10 in materials. My brother works with composites so I guess I see what is involved and when I look at the shit that comes out of china and other so called expert places I just don't see the value. |

If you get to see the ram tubes and airbox on the new nissan V8 supercars, now that is artwork they would want to have a special key to remove them at that price.

I'd get my parts aqua-dipped in carbon. I was looking at a mates engine bay with the turbo housing and rocker cover + various other bits and pieces aqua dipped. Looked mint that SLS Black series.. so much want.

This is the 2nd in Australia if im not mistaken ? would be a nice plate to be sitting.  QUOTE (alpharx7 @ Dec 9 2013, 10:25 PM) doc, those p30 energy drinks, I saw them on special, 3 for $9. I think it was woolworths, not 100% sure though. was last week now, so should be on special still tomorrow. sry I forgot to say something earlier, been busy working on my car of an evening, have most of the interior out atm, eliminating redundant wiring / air conditioner unit etc. I'm trying to free up space under the dash to put in a remote brake booster. not sure that i'll be able to do so with the design of the heater fan / heater box placement. you still drinking them are you? waiting on Coles's special to come back of 2 for $5 |

i would imagine so. i have driven the clk55 amg and a ml55 amg and they are notorious for their torque. everytime i planted the throttle on either cars instantly the traction control kicked in. they cant get the power down like the sls black did in that video. |
