So let me get this straight, you were beat by a 330d in your RS4?

I'm from the states so I don't know what the 330d is capable of. But are you seriously switching because you feel that car is better?

Color me highly confused... :shock:

First of all, does the OP really own an RS4? Sorry for doubting but this whole post smacks of trollism. Most if not all RS4 owners have some sense of seriousness about them when they speak about this car, even if its a negative point. Your post just sounds churlish. But presuming its true, let me ad...

The big question I have is what will this supercharger do to the already uneven weight bias (59% front, 41% rear) ??? How badly will this hunk of metal hurt the handling characteristics? I am all for the supercharger, and especially if it gives me M5 whipping speeds.. But my worry is that our cars a...

RE: Power Restriction Until 3000 miles?

simple1, how do you know its giving yo the full power? the engine is programmed to release an additional % of power after n miles, the question is what is n? do you know? it might hold more power than you realize. i hope idt does :)

RE: Power Restriction Until 3000 miles?

I have heard that and believe it was confirmed on another forum (forget which)... I forget what % of power is being reserved, was it 15%? I just don't remember.

I like the mirrors on the RS4 now, even though at first I saw them as a step backwards... to me they are unique, they say RS4.. what else is there to say but.... well, RS4, right?

Re: RE: thoughts please

Are you guys over there seriously able to get a verifiable 28hp from an ECU flash? Why isn't this being offered over here in the states yet? I have heard 20hp for the milteks though. If that is true, then 58hp would be quite a nice boost on top of what we have now. And how are you getting 56lbs of ...

N to 1st will losen up, it did for me. Also, there is a technique to it. If you try to slide the shifter all the way up the left hand bank of the box, you'll run over the notch. The trick is not to try to slide up against the wall of the gearbox, but put it just shy of the wall, to avoid the notch. ...

How much is a supercharger likely to weight and what would i

Seems it would be a considerable weight and with fonrt weight already being almost 60%, seems this could have a very negative side effect.

Thoughts?

This is not an ESP issue, I have never seen this in my car and frankly ESP has NEVER come on in the 2300 miles I've driven my car, in any gear at any speed.

If you're seeing ESP at these speeds when driving in relatively straight lines and/or on normally paved roads, something is wrong.

Tell me not to take the post off topic? its been off topic for a while.

Anyway, back on topic, yeah I dunno about Audi making a SC'd RS4. I can buy an RS4+ though. Or maybe not.
