Dunk - after something different mate?

[duncanhancox]

yep - going for an rs4 (with a few mods of course)

[DuncS3]

nice one - thats a good car you are selling there but RS is different league performance wise.

i don't think a standard rs4 would keep up with a 350hp s3.A chipped rs4 might keep up but it would be pretty close.

[david7m]

Duncanhancox - is it 350bhp at the wheels?

[Ryan_s3]

350bhp at the fly which would be approx 290atw on a s3
380bhp at the fly in a rs4 would be 290atw because of the quattro.

[DavidT]

350bhp at the fly which would be approx 290atw on a s3
380bhp at the fly in a rs4 would be 290atw because of the quattro.

The S3 would be doing well to put 350bhp through the front wheels though.

If not already sold, i may know somone who could be interested when the time comes Have you an indication on price?

[DuncS3]

350bhp at the fly which would be approx 290atw on a s3
380bhp at the fly in a rs4 would be 290atw because of the quattro.

The S3 would be doing well to put 350bhp through the front wheels though.

S3 is (of course) 4wd - I think Ryan was referring to Torsen vs Haldex perhaps?

the modified haldex controller stops the power all going to the front wheels - so its not a problem - it detects the throttle position and in addition the rate of throttle change and all the usual parameters and sends the power to the back much ealier - its easy to get the back out on roundabouts now if you want to.

the performance is very similar to a standard rs4 so i understand - certainly the power to weight is similar but the delivery is different.

for s4driver - its not sold yet so if you have anyone interested then put them in touch

[Ryan_s3]

I was refering to haldex vs torsen,at the end of the day it's the closest your going to get too a rs3 well except for mine!
What is the quoted power figure duncan?
Good luck with the sale mate.

[duncanhancox]

qstuning say 345hp and 345lb/ft - feels like a lot too...

[DuncS3]

Dunk - I cant work out if you changed your shocks from Koni to Bilsteins or have you always had Bilsteins?

Cheers
