Nice Audi

... what's the ABT badge for, you got it remapped already!?

I have to say as wonderful as your car I hope you're aware of the image you are taking on driving an Audi with DRLs

does your number plate spell: EJ10 TTT ??

(i hope you realize this is a friendly ribbing - I'm just jealous cause my car isn't as new or shiny!)

OMG J your car is SICK !!!

Thanks for the nice comments, after my 3 year stint in the B7 A4 saloon I just couldn't go to anything other than another Audi.

SAM bless her went to the crusher after I stripped her of all her worldly goods. She will be missed.

I had to move on, tuning Volvo's for serious power was expensive and fruitless, i had 2 B5 RS4's then bit the bullet in September and bought that. Wife still had an S60 D5 that we will be looking at upgrading in the new year.

I take it family is well etc?
Is yours tuned or stock? Murphy will be along in a bit i'm sure lol.

Hey up Bracer, I too have turned into a Vag slag and have a B5 S4 the Mrs has too with a skoda octavia TDI. Nice set of new wheels you have there.

**Bracer** · Friday 25th June 2010, 15:35

I came to the same conclusion on the Ovlov front, though the wife still has the P2 V70 is the super 60 18T and custom map sitting on the Peg's but to be honest it makes me cry every time we used it on a family day out with a lowfull 300 ish miles to the tank

The family is all good thank now running 3 up if you didn't get the update on the last nipper.

As for tuning the Audi what do you reckon ?

You have to tune yours, mine is pointless really for the gains, however i may see just how good the available maps are.

Thanks for the comment.

The 18T was modified by Essex Turbo's with a 60deg trim on the compressor blades, polished and ported housing and fitting with a uprated WG actuator (see sig).

See the pic.'s below.

Funny isn't it at least 3 of us now driving Audi's but also keeping a Volvo in the family.

I've been looking at remapping the Audi as well lol.

With an audi, you really are just paying for the badge though, aren't you. Why get an a3, when you can get a golf cheaper. Why get an a4, when you could have a passat cheaper, etc. They share so much, engines, gearboxs, suspension, etc, even the interiors are similar. Don't get me wrong though, they are very, very good cars, built well with good engines and all the rest, but i think that there is just a bit to much sharing in the VAG, and that the audis should be a bit more individual.
