R8 Time!

Post by iR8V10 » Fri Jul 01, 2011 6:09 pm

It's been a whole 2 days since Sarge went and I've managed to find myself a suitable replacement!

To say I'm excited is an understatement! Should be picking it up next week.

Not sure yet, going to find out. Sounds much better than stock, that's all I know for now and that's enough for me!

Fantastic car. The Mag ride will be great. Adding a Milltek will be loud. I have seen an R8 fail a noise test at Brands once due to a aftermarket exhaust, something to bare in mind.

Technically the same mods for the RS4 should be applicable for the R8 V8, are you going to tune it Dave?
