I'm sure stripped with the right set up it will handle brilliantly. I think the reason people say that, is in road car format they have so many toys and luxury items they weigh loads and are set up to understeer. Bit of playing with ARB's and 500bhp should mean you can steer with the throttle
I've got an A4 quattro (1.8T S-line 6-speed car) and I dont think it understeers one bit - if anything, you can get a bit of power oversteer in the wet Had it on a couple of trackdays and also the ring and it feels very planted - uses its tyres very evenly also Cracking chassis if you ask me - and a great basis for a powerful race car (400hp+)
Just a quick update. We are still on the boring shell prep stage at the moment. I spent loads of time friday night and saturday removing more brackets from the car. Now the Seat crossmembers are out, rear seat mounting brackets, spare wheel well bracket, rear parcel shelf, rear seat belt brackets, front console bracket. Next to go is the handbrake bracket. As we are getting rid of the handbrake and having a line lock. And once the wiring loom is fully out i will be getting up behind the dash with the angle grinder to remove the last few threads and unwanted mount ponts for various things. Aslo removed a load of sound deadening from the C pillars Plan for this week is to finish removing the wiring loom tomorrow, have the engine and gearbox out wednesday night. Remove the rain tray/front bulk head early next week.Then take the car to a friends unit for the cage build. While the car is away Approx 2 weeks the engine will be stripped down and rebuilt. Gearbox sent off for a plate diff to be fitted up front and either a modified torsen centre diff or a tweeked RS4 unit. Once the car is back its off to the body shop for flared arches and a fresh coat of paint inside. Then the serious build work starts Sorry i ment Fun Work. Going to be a busy few months me thinks.
Love the cheeky Oranjeboom can in the first pic I take it that's you fuel of choice? Gonna need anchoring down when you've finished if you make it any lighter
Good work, gonna be an awesome car by the sounds of it What are you using to remove the brackets and stuff?
you got any good old parts you want of off load? i might need an exhaust manifold for mine, the off side one
Hi Mate, i have loads of parts. Including a miltek exhaust, RS4 intake pipes, Smaco hoses , new S4 intercoolers. A load of proflex bushes etc.
Hi, im using a spot weld drill for this. Takes some time to get spot on. Ie depth to drill etc but when you get the knack is awesome.
Where did you get it from? I think Chris E got one from Frost. I've had one from Machine Mart before and it was ****!
well mine is just a remapped car with a boost leak at the moment. i want to get a silicon hose set off ebay, not samco though, but only costs 70 ish im gonna spend some time under mine this weekend so should be able to say if there are any bits i need soon
pics to come. its on a gash set of rs4 wheels that are curbed to buggery.... the car came with a set of freshly refurbed original s4 rims thugh
