So What power are you running now?

Shark say 280 bhp and 570 nm :) once i get the dpf off and an exhaust then it should make 300 bhp and 600 nm :) drives so nice now! The pull in second is incredible (i now have to discredit 1st as it hits the red line before you have had a chance to think! Putting your foot down round bends in the road in 2nd now makes the traction control go mad! :)

Very nice, just the right amount of power.

so yesterday i decided it was about time i sorted the fornt grille as i wasnt happy with the chrome but dont have the money for the RS5 grille yet so got some plastidip to give it a go smile.png


started with some masking which anyone in a bodyshop would be gob smacked about!

peeled off the excess and let it cut itself in the gaps around the grille just like the videos show then it was too dark so waited till today gave the car a good clean for the 2nd time since sunday  tongue.png

so havent really been around much, pop on the forum every now and again, done a couple bits to the audi sorted the wheels and lots of plastidipping. But now the time has come and unfortunately the car is up for sale.. everything about the car is great but the DPF just doesnt suit my weekday driving style and i really really really want a petrol again.. this time V8 ;) we will see where all this goes... :)

im liking the news :devil:

oops sorry charlie i wasn't ignoring you i may have forgotten you have posted on here! im still around on here a fair bit, maybe more now days than when i had the audi. new car is something i cant mod but i do keep getting the temptation to put tax back on the octy and use it a bit! do miss modding a car! 
Anyway the onto the new car, some already know what i bought and some dont so.. i said i didn't want black, no DPF and no diesel, so i bought a 61 plate Range Rover 4.4TDV8

so yep i bought, a black car thats diesel and has a DPF but i am over the moon with it! 

it has pretty much every option possible on it, with the dealer fit Range Rover body kit and electric side steps and i finally decided it was time to buy a plate that suited me :)

 

so yep thats pretty much where i am, im still here i may even pop over for the AMD rolling road day on the 26th October weather i will be in the octavia and get my name down to go on the RR or if i just pop over to say hello im unsure

you have such a weird taste for your age :D

I do like the range, have been tempted myself this past few weeks and now Clive's looking :D

Think you may have started a trend. :)
