Looks good from the front, but in my opinion Audi cant do rears unless it is an Avant, The seem to fall apart on the bums and make them saggy. Also the press are saying it is not as quick as it looks to be. Shame.

Whats the plastic sticky uppy thing in the bottom picture?

They were probably of to something more serious than a bit of spirited driving, but thought they would remind you what the speed limits are. You might get a NIP in the post but it would seem unlikely. -
Repairing? Is that with solvent glue? I would like to do mine also.

having been lucky enough to drive all the range, I reckon as a driving experience the 911 is just way out there. You'd have to be a prety good driver to tame that beast, and even with the PASM and goodies you would still be wary of sticking 70Ks worth backwards into a ditch. As a driving experience it is awe inspiring. Cayenne, Well it can be forgiven its hideous looks due to the simple fact it singlehandedly saved Porsche from the scrapheap. However the setup of the Boxster / Cayman is much more instantly rewarding. Corners and cambers make for spine tingling sensations and seem to mask any lack in driver tallent, but, get someone who realy knows what they are doing and for my money the Porsche range has the competition licked.

Cool. Im going to get me some Blue cable then to compliment my dials. Reckon the summer scorcher will be a giggle. So should see you there.

Top stuff. Good looking car. How does it drive?

Proof that money does not guarantee good taste....
ZippyVR6 replied to Andy665's topic in General Car Chat
More money than taste, and the quality of the work looks a bit shabby. Stickon carbon sheeting and painted stripes. Nowt as queer as folk. -

How have you secured your sub box/amps down
ZippyVR6 replied to Son of a Beesting's topic in ICE 'n' Secure
Another shout for Velcro, The stuff just wont slide. and it is easy to shift about if you need to get to the spare. However think it was on here some time ago when a bloke sent in some pics of a smash he had where his boxes came through his windscreen :shock: :shock: :shock: -
This VR temp concern is as old as the car it concerns. VRs get hot. Its just the way they are. narrow angle v6 in a tightly fitting engine bay. I thought about the mocal, bought one and decided that if the old beast has made it this far then it wasnt necessary, sold it and replaced the stadt, coolant flush and new water pump instead. I am happy that if she gets too hot then maybe it is time to lay up a little and let the other cars catch up again :) With regards the coolant system, It is all new over the last 2 years and I still see high temps. Walsey, Im guessing Trigs low temps might be something to do with the obd2 setup? not sure, but either way the oil is still doing its job in a hot engine, IIRC the oil doesn't start to break down till way over 140 degrees. so go out and enjoy the roar.

I Didnt think there were, Just the standard 3 slat with the top two sections closed.
-
I had a standard VR Grill with one open slat at the bottom and 2 closed sections above. Having spent time with my junior hacksaw, carefully slicing the slats open I can honestly say it made bugger all difference to engine temps both in summer or winter. If you are concerned about temps (which by the way seem normal I regularly see 122 in the summer) then get yourself a Mocal Oil Cooler which should effectivley keep your oil below 100 degrees unless you are relally pushing things.

IIRC someone on here might or might not have a blue flasher unit on his dash for emergency journeys. :D He's no fed tho.
