Hi Nick, :bigwave: very informative post on the mean piston speed of the R8V10 5.2 engine. I assume this mean piston speed would also apply to the 5.2V10 engine in the Gallardo and the Huracan. Phenomenal reliability as I have not heard of any oem Gallardo/Huracan or V10 R8 blowing up their engines....

Hi All, If you took a stock RS6 5 litre V10 engine which I believe is a stronger engine than the stock Audi/Lamborghini 5.2 V10 , it can be twin turboed easily to 1200 bhp- stage 2. With the same specs as an Underground Racing Pro line built motor and turbos, Stage 3 then it could easily produce 160...

I am interested in this front splitter.

May I ask how you go about replacing the oem front splitter and replacing with this one? Are there nuts/bolts to be undone? How do you get to them?

Any advice appreciated.
cheers,

Hi Ian,
great write up on the AP 410 mm kit.

I am running the MTM 405 mm set up. A bit pricey, but stops the car well enough for me when doing 0-1000 metre runway sprints.

first world problems!

I went black gloss wrap on the front grille surround and the boot trim. Went matte black wrap on the alloy trim around the windows. Went carbon fibre wrap on engine panels. All wrap trim has held up ok after three years. Anthracite paint on the rims, but will go gloss black next rim colour change ch...

Yeah as many have said on here before S2 with a gearbox remap and secondary decat is night and day of a standard car, laugh out loud quick (well it was for me anyway). Last night I gave it a boot with ESP fully off and surprised myself yet again as to how quick it is. I'm stuck in the where do you ...

Hi TomRS,

I have the mtm 405 mm performance friction steel fronts and big improvement in braking, especially from 310 km/hr

Next step but significant leap in price is the fitting of 410 ceramics.

the solution to not enough road at bruntingthorpe or other sanctioned venue to reach 200 mph is more power :biggrin3: In my Audi engined LP560-4 TT managed to hit 188mph in 800 metre on BP Ultimate 98. I never, ever attempt any high speed on public roads with passenger and if there are any other roa...

[quote="IanH755"]Classba - although I think saying the steels are a "death-trap" is a little harsh.

As I have posted before, Ceramics are the ultimate, but I have noticeably increased stopping power from 300km/hr with my MTM 405 mm fronts.

cheers,
john

Hi don0301,

I know your advice is tongue in cheek.

Otherwise you must be an agent for the ZF auto transmission repair union. lol.

DSG launch, speed of shifts and gearing means very little car beat a GTR off the line ... rolling start a tuned C6 is more than a match I can confirm that my tuned RS6 with passenger on a rolling start from 50 mph on airstrip killed my oem 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo with driver only. By the time the...

are they just a larger rotor or do you need a spacer for the calliper as well ? Hi rs6_sid, :bigwave: Of course you can't beat the ceramics, but much more expensive and can have costly maintenance. With regards to the MTM kit, yes you do need spacers. Provided in the kit as per attached images. Eas...
