Probably more accessible than a saloon because the whole rear clam lifts away.

You need to get out more

Awesome motor! Maybe the running temp is low/fan kick in to prevent it over heating, as I'd imagine on full song around a track it would generate quite a lot of heat ............

So what is the running temp on a RS4?

Post by **david7m** » Wed Oct 18, 2006 2:26 pm

Haven't a clue, but my S3 is bang on 90 degrees every day, all day! Does it have the RS4 instruments? I 'think' they are designed to be at running temp when the needle is vertical, but I have no idea and have never been in one

The Audi gauges have a fudge factor to keep the gauge steady even when the actual temp is fluctuating

Not sure I would be in a rush to change the cam belts on that!!!

Indeed! That will be a PITA

Have you got any 1/4 mile times for that mate?

Must be super quick.

I like it

Don't have 1/4 time, but 0-60 is 3.6 sec and 0-100 is 7.5. HTH

Hmmm wonder how much Grizz would charge to build one of these?

That's beautiful.

No place for a twitchy right foot, I suspect. Take it easy.

Cheers, Richard.
