Part 2 has arrived.

wolfman101

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)...

^^^ 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?

VashBandicoot

Ooo pretty white box. Invidia Goodness. Should go much better with tune. Sound nice too

Doc

Not as yet, will wait till close to end of warranty or when I'm ready to void.

Doc

Yes indeed, will do aps cai, ecu and tune when it's time.

Most likely get coils first and drop it.

Doc

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

Doc

If you had the Ferrari F12 carbon valve stem caps would cost you $800 Lol.
As I discovered in the latest TG road trip episode.

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

VashBandicoot

LOL i saw that episode. Lucky bastards drove so many nice cars. I'd like to take part on the convertible rwd rally though, would be good fun !

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

VashBandicoot

something different from chrome housing covers or wrinkle black. mind you i'd go just black
get a woodgrain dip on my a/c compressor while im at it....on your soobie would be recognizable as it's right up the top doc,

VashBandicoot

I'd love to own this, Black centres though

Doc

they would want to have a special key to remove them at that price.


that SLS Black series.. so much want.


woodgrain
needs more red under my hood..




i just cant stand all that camber..

Doc

WCC on 7mate doing the Tron R8

For reference;
the bits I would get:

VashBandicoot

That carbon fibre rear diffuser is just all sorts of sexy !!!

wolfman101

The front one too. That pic shows both the 2 level splitter and winglets.

Doc

What the? That's in Australia? Surprising. Nice, but still no SLR.

Doc

QLD plates would suggest so. ..
and going by carsales you wouldnt get much change out of 700k

VashBandicoot

The first SLS Black i think is owned by a fellow from Queen St Customs.
This is the 2nd in Australia if im not mistaken ?

alpharx7

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.

Draven

yeah boi!!!

Doc

would be a nice plate to be sitting.



you still drinking them are you?
waiting on Coles's special to come back of 2 for $5

VashBandicoot

love the black with red trimming all around the interior. it does look very comfy.

alpharx7

I've only had one in the last two weeks. I'm only tending to have one if I've had a particularly intensive workout. still have two in the fridge atm. I should buy a couple more but meh.

Doc

and going by JC driving it in the latest ep he says its alot better to drive then the normal sls

Doc

so you're not like one of the dudes at my gym, brings his bucket of protein and places it under the stairs,
then measures out what he needs, and walks around the gym shaking his drink for around 20mins while
on his phone

VashBandicoot

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.

even the ml55 amg did and i was like

VashBandicoot

i remember parking the car in a straight road in dads clk. traction control off and planted it from stand still....all the car did was just kick out...didnt move straight much
