Yes ditching the spare is not a good idea.
Why is this thread still getting hits ? [&:]

 

Good question.

 

Whats the point of buying a reletivly heavy, mid sized sedan, with a heavy awd system, etc, then proceed to strip it? Just chip your car, or whatever, but when you strip your audi you take away what an audi is all about. If you want a nice light car, go buy a caterham, or elise, or whatever. seems like a bit of a contradiction.

 

Or an Evo RS.

Someone had better be filimin that ****, and it better not be a bad video. It better be like TopGear quality.

 

I doubt Tom will want it filmed, kindof a embarressment ya know?


You still having that 500pd weight add?

 

ouch that is harsh.. so seriously I think we should get some online bets going on here.. we need like 2 cameras then just have somebody edit it and make a really kick *** video!!!

 

LOL, I will def film it, yea'll I try 3 or 4 extra passengers, and then I'll try no extra weight, and we'll video tape both, and if we have time I'll strip my car and we'll see what the difference is.

I was driving around with 3 passengers today and this thing rips, got my egt datalogger hooked up and I can def crank up a couple more degrees of timing. the a/f looks great at wot right now. Time to crank up the boost and the rpm, 15psi is fun but its time to play, and 6500rpm well, thats worthless, time for 7800rpm...Ah yes its gonna be fun till my turbo grenades

Seroiusly though, ar you going to be around that weekend? And is that one track open?

 

Dude, 500lb is the difference between a WRX and a Miata.

 

well to answer the origanial question, im pretty sure my 12v front track has it in the bag, im not possitive but im pretty sure im running mid 16, can any of u top that?

 

You'd think that but I honestly feel no difference when I have 3 passengers, plus I always have ~100lbs of tools and spare parts in my trunk, not only that my manifold weighs about 25lbs more than a log manifold, my tire and wheel meight 48lbs each, and my brakes are surely heavier than stock. I'm hauling a lotta weight but I dont think I could tell unless I had it at the track
