Project A4

[Conned]

Will definitely post pics can't wait till Saturday to collect the car.

 

Hope the combination of the 18" wheels and 0.5 finger gap, plus the side skirts won't cause problems at the humps..

Humps are not the only worry.U hav to go slow at carpark ramp when rollin down as de front lip may hit the ground.

also take note when u are fully laden not to speed over humps..esp when one is on 235 n wider rubber..unless u roll ur fender..if u are on coilovers..u may adjust ur ride heightg later..I

till then COngrats n enjoy de handlin of de 18"..n ur new ride!

Thanks for the tip man. I am already on Sachs and R18/40/235 tyres, but stock bumpers. So far OK except for some underground carparks hit the underside a little. Will be more "siong" with the lower side-skirts and front lip. Even now, doing tight U-turns now at some traffic lights also scrape the front bumpers.

 

But with the new body kit, I have to avoid tight U-turns altogether. If damaged, heart pain man .

What's the damage like? Karsoon is bugging me to get the kit for B7 too...but too ex.

Your Kit from PA? Thought they don't have the brand, only at Autovox?

 

PA had the B6 Caratere Kit in stock, not sure about the B7. The damage is about 4++ K. I did call Autovox, which was slightly cheaper but had to order, and add shipping..

haha...AWD u mean ,bro..

[Tashi]

hi bro Vipertoledo

Would the Skoda Superb 1.8T (a close "cousin" to your ride) be able to upgrade to the Porsche brakes? Looks so fierce bro I drooling already. Wifey might not agree, but we can dream right?

 

Also, would the stock 17-inch rims work with your upgraded brakes? or must upgrade to at least 18-inch? just curious, dun mind me a newbie to cars and such.

haha no wonder my fren commented on seeing an A4 with Porsche brakes...u mus have spent alot!

Anewae we belong to ADSD too....but still in service...wahahaha

[Vipertoledo]

I suspect it might be possible. What I recall is the Superb is a stretched version of the same platform as Passat and A4. You'll need to check with a workshop that is familar with our cars like CAG, Servotronic, etc. on whether the A4 and the Superb has the same knuckle arm.

 

The stock 17" definite cannot work with the Porsche brakes. You'll need at least 18" rims designed to clear big brake kits. Some rim designs require 19" to clear this.

 

You might want to try this website http://www.ecstuning.com and ask them on whether its possible to fit the A4's Stage 4 Brake kit on your Superb.

Spend until but still

Dude, you have that magic touch.

 

The cars that pass your hands are only one of their kind on our roads.

The photo is taken at the carpark near my parents' home. Do you happen to live there and see an Octy sometimes?
