No i had to mod the frame aka bumper support as well

 

Haha tom, you have to remember, my car is bear metal from the front seats back, it is light. With all the torque, and the 2.8trans, the weight reduction, my 0 to 60 is pretty danm fast, i wont brag about top end, but it will pull to 150mph.

 

Hey audiboy, was wondering if you have any pics of your gutted a4??

 

The rear seats are so light though... Hmm. I guess maybe like 75 lbs for the rear bench and backs? Door skins are light, if you ditched them... speakers can save a few pounds... ditching the spare can save like 35... Hmm. I guess you can shave an easy 100 - 150 lbs... which I'd imagine you'd feel, as that's like the weight of a passenger.

 

Well its not the door skins that are heavy, its the motors behind them that have weight to them.

 

APR stage 3 is spendy, how long r ya gonna have to be savin for? The numbers they have for the stage 3+ for the b6 are really nice. Why don't they have a stage 3+ for the b5?

 

B6's are the new b5's! :P Seriously though... what I mean, is that younger people who are buying audi's NOW are going to shoot for a 2002+... the 02's value's have obviously taken a hit since the b7 rolled in... so yeah, people can get b6's at great prices. So, the 25 year old crowd, the guys who will have $ to mod (and want to) will likely be buying b6's.

That is my theory. That or they are just stupid.

 

Yeah, i really think it call comes down to preference. Im into speed, so the b5 is the best for me. I think it is alot sportier looking, the b6 kinda looks like a watermelon, but i like all a4s.


Btw-apr is working on a 28rs kit, if i have the cash, i may get it, or wait and see what awes 28rs kit looks like.

 

Ah we'll see, I feel no difference with my 49lb summer wheel/tire combo with 2 extra ppl, than my 40lb winter wheel set-up and no passengers. Also i ran a 14.8 with my summer wheels and a passenger and a 14.7 with winters and no passenger with my ko4 non pc-16 set-up set-up, so it really doesnt make a big diference..at least in my car. But yea we will see this summer for sure!

 

You don't want none of this ritt.....





btw- Tom and i have a race lined up already, he and i are having a disagrement about weight reduction, so hes packing his car, trunk and all, prolly a good 5-6 100pd. He insist he doesnt notice a 250pd difference, but i tell him it will make a a differnce.

What do guys think, my stripped apr stage III/2.8trans car with apr source? Or toms 4000pd pig?
