Scales for weighing trucks consists of two scales.
Netto refers to the tractor, without trailers.

If you set the car on both scales, so you get the
Weight of the front axle and rear axle. :bigblink:

Hi

And here is the greatest sport air filter for the R8 V8 / V10 that can be mounted in the air box.

Compared to the old version + 20mm higher or 15% more filter area :rocker:

What is the difference in pressure drop across the new filter Vs the old filter? I'd wager this is a complete waste of money personally but if it makes you happy... :)

He's presented a rule1 right under your nose. They're bigger, = better, much better, best you can buy. Look at them them, they are bigger, but shorter and fatter. Probably the same surface area, but more expensive = better, waaaaay better, best you can buy.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage
