I thought that was weird as the Sportec one won.

Damn.. wish I had taken mine down now..

Would have been good to get the times.. I saw Kim but didn't introduce myself.. he looked busy!

Sorry,i might be a bit stupid [img]images/graemlins/062802beat_prv.gif[/img], but who is Kim Collins?
Is he a race driver? Does he work at MTM?
Why can I buy one of his exhausts? (Forum For Sale/Wanted)

Sorry to hear you had probs with the clutch JR. I know the feeling.

However a great opportunity to get one of the best mods available - the lightweight flywheel. I assume you're going for the Tanogo one. You will really notice the difference. [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img]

What sort of clutch are you going for?

Finally, I was there on Saturday but after finally deciding that I would do the time trial I arrived at the ticket office with S2_Driver only to find that it had closed for the day. Probably just as well though, after my "track record" [img]images/graemlins/1syellow1.gif[/img]

Thanks for that lesson, John! [img]images/graemlins/tung2.gif[/img]

expensive i guess! [img]images/graemlins/suicide.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/033102bad_1_prv.gif[/img]

It cost audi £2k to do mine as the stupid feckers put a standard clutch in a 450bhp car before they sold it to me, lasted 2 days (i was very enthusiastic when i bought it). they put the tanoga flywheel and MTM clutch in. launches well, bit of a dog to drive round town, but well worth it.

The best thing is it's only about few quid more than the Audi 1.

Riz - Where about up north are you from???

whilst having my turbos replaced, I've also taken the opportunity to get a Tanoga flywheel and RS4 clutch fitted to my S4.

Today, after nearly 4 weeks, I finally get the car back and all seems to be well currently!

I was told there would be some increased noise with the new flywheel which there is at lower revs- especially third gear around 1500 revs (sounds like a tractor!) - some questions for those who have had the lightened flywheel mod: have you noticed the same? also, why is the noise more apparent in third gear?? Joshie/Prawn I think you've had this mod on your previous S4's..

I assume it is the same with the RS4's?

The noise problem concerns me as I'm having a lightened flywheel this week although not a Tanoga.......how can a flywheel make a noise!!!!!
