I love Vossen Series 17 wheels...but 19" is their minimum diameter and they begin at $1700/ea. You can get them finished in just about any color you like though :thumbsup: https://vossenwheels.com/wheel/s17-01/
This RS7 is local...was at 503 Motoring when I got Tints and was at Shift Sector doing 160's mph standing 1/2 mile ET's.
CCW does have a nice selection too.
Well AUTuning is soooo busy that there hasn't been much done on my GTI yet. While I would like to get this done, I am also happy to have it done by them.
So I was tired of driving around with just one car between my wife and I. We have been driving the 2007 A8 and just love it for a road car. So I purchased another car today, won't get it for a week or so.
Picked up a 2014 A8L 3.0TDI. Black with tan interior. 34000 miles. 36mpg on hwy
Nice choice on the A8 TDI....wouldn't mind a GTD for daily running around.
The S6 mentioned isn't a bad way to go. I could easily go with the RS3 when the price gets lower and one in Nardo were available; https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-Audi-RS-3-d2564#listing=205035315
...but I know I would most likely go with a MK7Golf R. Wouldn't cry if the Scirocco R would come soon and if it would have a 2.5L TSI. Would be a nice top VW choice in their lineup and the 2.5t would move it a notch away from the Golf R.
My dream hatchback would be one of those HPA 3.6l twin turbo Golf Mk6 R setups. Just can't get them licensed here in California.
Before you hit the track with those tubular control arms make sure you have a way to keep the adjustment nuts from loosening. I did just over 400km getting to the track, lapping all day, and getting back home and I'm getting clunking from the right wheel because of loose nuts. I'm going to try safety wire to keep them tight
Also, did you end up deciding which Autopower half cage to order? I called them today to ask about mounting points for the rear bars. They said that the bolt in ones bolt to the sides of the fender wells but the U-Weld ones can mount directly to them. The rear bars actually come completely separate from the main hoop and you have to notch and weld them on but you can do that and have them mounted straight into the fenders and then just drill the pads to use it as a bolt in cage. I'm hoping to order one for myself tomorrow.
I had ordered the bolt in cage, but dropped the order on the bolt in because of how the rear mounted. When I finally get my car back I will do a weld in.
If I recall you got the ultra adjustable tubulars. I got the regular tubulars so I have less to worry about in terms of possible adjustable areas that can come loose but I will heed your warning. Other than that, how did they perform for you?
Ok, I'm going in the same direction. I called the local distributor earlier today and I'm about to email him to get the ball rolling on ordering. Unfortunately being in Canada adds a tons of complication and expense but I need a cage and this is the only way to do it until I'm ready for a welded in six point.
I did get the Ultra's. To be honest I don't know if I can give any feedback on how they perform. With six months between this past track day and the last one of 2017 I've lost my frame of reference. The car just feels like a wild animal compared to the in every way compared to my Kia daily.
