An A6 3.0 TDI with quad exhausts and an RS6 boot lip

I've seen that car on another forum before, it has an ABT exhaust and valance and is remapped to about 280hp as far as I can remember.

I don't know, I just think that car's wrong.

If they leave the TDi badge on it, then it's not too bad. The A4 TDi's rebadged as RS4's do my head in.

Porsche have done Turbo lookalikes over the years such as the 911 S models. I know they're from the factory, but as long as you go for the look and don't try to hide what it really is, then I think it's ok.

There is nothing wrong with taking your styling cues from a flagship model as long as you don't go as far as the badge RS4/S4 TDIs are a scourge on Irish roads second only to white civic type R pretenders.

Its definitely not is the same league as TDI RS4s given that it is badged correctly, and tbh the quad exhausts and boot lip were both well integrated, I was just wondering what is the point of the quad exhausts in particular. Maybe as you say it has something like an ABT exhaust system fitted but would it make much of a difference on a diesel? Also as for the remapping - I was behind him for around 15 miles and he certainly tried to open it up when the road cleared, however it didnt seem to me like 280hp. I didnt have any trouble keeping up

That Audi 3.0L diesel engine sound quite nice and grunty (for a diesel) with an aftermarket exhaust.

What car you got?

I cant view youtube at work but I'm sure it is an improvement alright, but it's never going to sound like a petrol equivalent I'd imagine. Mine is a 535d - I'm thinking about sticking an M5 badge on it tho, some quad exhausts and cutting some side vents in her:D

And you can send the pics through mms to your email.

How about this



The owner didn't put it on though, it was a joke as he's getting a Honda K20 engine conversion.

Was there not a pic of an F50 with people leaning on it and sitting up on it that turned out to be a replica?

Here's another real one from up north

ah right, my mistake. I don't think it was in the best condition when I saw it, the interior was spotless but the guy pulled in and something fell out of the front of the car. A Ferrari mechanic had to be called over to try and fix it. Here's a perfect example I saw in Spain

Speedway

Just saw this outside my office on Barrow St. I have a GP sporting already with 120bhp and i'd trade it for this in a heartbeat. Makes the 500 so much more than just a cool car that guys love and only girls will prob drive.

I remember that, was it not a hose for cooling or something that had come lose?

When I seen that Elise you posted above i nearly got a fright and taught it was the black Elise I seen recently on parnel st with a big **** of spoiler, why would you bother? If there was a need for it Lotus would have put one on there! This one was a Cavan reg, haven't seen or heard anyone at home talk about it.

Continental GT out the back of a bus




2008 C63 in the driveway of a very very very nice house by the American Embassy in Ballsbridge




I also spotted a blue 360 Spider coming down Simmonscourt Road from what I presume was the Four Seasons. Awesome machine and the noise, oh the noise.
/swoon.

*Tripper*

^Dibs on the C63 when the finances go tits up! 20k sounds fair.

Cheers Lads, great craic that morning in the car park.

The Lad who owned the F50 was sound, a real car nut, If he let one person sit into it he must have let 100.. a Garda came in for a look and he offered to take the Garda for a spin. We thought, well that was sound of him. 10 minutes later they arrived back, the garda driving this time. The owner was sound enough to even let him drive it. One lad took me for a spin in his F355. There were about 20-25 Ferraris in that group, i'll try dig out some more pix.
