Revolution RS4 build thread...

B to G or T-13 full lap..?

Btg Glenn calm down its not that quick I should add I wasn't driving when it did an 08:30 with 4 people in it - was a mega experienced driver (4000+ laps) but on very worn f1's (and wasn't a clean lap).

To be fair, my fastest in the b8 is 08:47 but that was my first trip there in it and it only had 700miles on the clock. To say I was nervous was an understatement! My fastest in the b7 was 08:30 flat but I drove that like I stole it and it was on pilot supersports not shitty f1's.

I'd wager you'd be on for lower 8's I think wouldn't you? You know your way round from memory?

Worn / shitty Pirellis you mean?

Fredy aka Rent4Ring's owner did an 8.03 b to g with three up in car last year.

No way I could do that sort of time....9.23 full T-13 lap but not sure how long it is between bridge to gantry to take away from that time.
But too many sections I can't/won't do incase I write my car off at high speed.
Self preservation kicks in for me sadly...

Glenn I'm with you completely!

I've just bought a megane R26 this weekend for precisely this reason. I'm doing too many trips now to keep risking the RS4 so at least in the megane I can be a little more committed. 08:03 is mega it really is.

Full lap is an extra 1.2m - you're down the straight tho, so doing 120+mph mind you, so probably knock off 30 seconds or so for a b2g time.

I'd like to get around 08:45 this year in the megane. But more importantly I've got about 35 laps more to get in before breaking even on my season ticket this year lol

Here you go Glenn.

I will post this again to save your embarrassment.

Makes you appreciate having a cage in your track toy.

I hate to see it when it goes wrong like that but looks like he was way off the racing line and lifted causing the oversteer.

So many people go there after watching top gear (which was faked by clarkson and co as spoke to Sabine about it the week after it went live), a loads of laps on PlayStation and think they can master the Ring.

12 years and still trying and Fredy has done over 50,000kms around there.
I'm doing 120 down there and the quick cars are doing 150+....!

Just not worth the extra speed in your daily.

Re Frefy's hot lap in our Impreza, he only ran medium boost and 440bhp as it was too snappy st the 520 high boost setting.

Makes me chuckle when the latest Golf has just beat our time....

Cage, closed track, and front wheel drive and under 400bhp. Yeah I bet it was

Back on 19's while we measure up brake clearance
For the new set were getting hand built.

If it all goes to plan it will be epic...!

Keep you all posted when we have drawings to show
You all.

Nearly there....

my carbon guys have had a nightmare with these
but hopefully worth it.

Carbon air-box lids and slam panel next.

The bell bit of the disc is a bloody disgrace. Get some wire wool and metal cleaner on it man!

[Revolution]

but they need a tidy up next time its in.

Bit late to this, saw your car while registering for DN14 but didn't know who it was. Guess I should have logged in and checked the B8 section

My B7 did well aside from some brake feel/mushiness issues. Next time I'll pay more attention and say hello

Some footage from my car of the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0ROivKuO7U

Had never driven the RS4 on any track but used to do the Ring regularly up until 5 years ago.

Car was looking good

Big Glenn, is there any noticeable difference between the Stage - 1 intake and stock? I've been considering going to an aftermarket panel filter only but would be keen to now how the RS4 feels with the new intake...

Thanks

[Revolution]

Very little so far at lower revs but a little under load at the top end + 5bhp expected on the dyno when we get it checked out.
But better than relaxing paper filters and those silicone intake pipes look ace under the bonnet.

Wait unti we get the carbon survives done next....
