SHOW OFF UR EURO

[EcoTune Trinidad]

My pride and joy...

Niiiicee....always loved these models...which engine is this? N53B30 215hp?...

[Monk BANzai]

My pride and joy...

Ques... if i wanted to adapt those wheels (Type 124's) to an e90...would running 225/40/18's in front and 235/40/18's in the rear be enough? I know the standard tyre sizes on the E60 are 245/40/18 in front and 275/35 (or 40)/18's in the rear?

The wheels on the car right now are as follows:
Manufacturer: BBS, Germany
BMW part #: 6775645 and 6775646
BBS part #: RD376 and RD377

I believe the rim can support from 225 - 275 based on what I'm seeing online. However, I've seen them with 235 sizes thus far, but not 225, so that's something you'll have to try and see.

I currently run 245/40/18 in the front and 275/35/18 in the rear. Previous owner had 235/40/18 all around.

Another Euro :

Looks good man.... Interior looks like normal VAG stuff!

[purple_heart77]

It has the qualities, runs very good, lots of power from the 1.8 TSI. Still in the break in period. Normal sturdy seats and lots of head room. Cornering is surprising decent, some body roll however....

It is a 6 speed DSG.

I don't do the off road, however I do the rough road/back roads so it is adequate, 4x4 is there if needed (also launch control too )

[Pointman-IA]

looks nice....

[MG Man]

lovin the Yeti graphic....did it come with that, or did u put it on?

[purple_heart77]

Kool MG Man...I put the decal on in keeping with the European alias "Snow Monster"

[Habit7]

I dont think modern euro engines need to be "break in"

[purple_heart77]

I hear ya 7....but call me scared...not breaking the rules on this as below states:

I dont think modern euro engines need to be "break in"

All the current model VW's have similar instructions for the first 1000 miles: don't mash pedal all the way, don't cross 2/3 top speed, etc.

[MG Man]

I dont think modern euro engines need to be "break in"

depends on the manufacturer
some manufacturers break in their engines on a test bed. However, the loads do not necessarily reflect actual driving loads, so caution in the initial stages is always advised
Yetiman is doing the right thing

[Habit7]

Scene, follow the manual, not a forum expert.


But one thing I can speak from experience with is that as you will be under warranty from Sterling Service, expect month long waits for replacement parts until your warranty ends and you find out you can buy it online and get it in 3 days.

Thanks for the heads up Habit7. I assume this is the online site you are referring to:

Two Additions to the Family....

BMW E90 320i...only thing done is to swap out the original wheels it came with some Type 124's off of a E60 5 Series.




For a "Base model 320i" its pretty nice...VERY comfortable....all leather interior..and holds its own on the highway....not doing anything with this...just buy and drive.

Audi A4 (B7)


Yall know the car from the previous owner. Kept it immaculate. He swapped out alot of suspension parts for the RS4 versions..so man...this thing handles like a dream pon my fave road...maracas Beach run. I'm currently giving it more fyahz though....


major turbo swap out/upgrade. Already swapped out the HKS barrel for a Magnaflow unit.... we're re-doing the downpipe work as well as the new turbo's position doesn't afford for a direct bold up.


Also have the 10mm spacer kit to give it some more "stance" and uprated front brake rotors..both from ECS Tuning.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

That A4 looking REAL BAD!!!

[Monk BANzai]

spanx... did some personal touches to it since that photo....once we're done with the turbo upgrade i'll post up some updated shots...

[Pointman-IA]

Damn......

You planning on letting chics drop undies and raise up tops like barriers or wha?

kool additions man..

Those rims and tyres looking sweet but with a RS4 suspension on local roads might be bone-jarring.

[Stark Auto Rentals]

A4 looking sweet.

actually boy Habit.....is only when i was having a convo post purchase with the former owner he mentioned it..i got a slew of parts that he changed out with the purchase...but is when he said "BTW..inno is RS4 this that and the other yuh have on right?"

Ride is very very comfortable...solid and directed feel from the steering...

My only issue with the car is seating position... I am yet to find a proper seating position that allows me proper "360" view of my surroundings but yet affords me a comfortable arm-to-steering position...

That's a problem this A4 has, after 6 years of ownership and driving I still can't find a perfect position without a blind spot, the position I found is perfect for me minus passenger but from the time someone is in that seat is pressure.

[ztune]

So the A4 is a bit small inside? How tall are you banzai?

[kg494EJ-1]

I won't say small, its quite roomy but the pillars are a bit chunky, every car has it flaws but this car once you get accustomed to its blind spots it's fun to drive, just wish mine had a bit more power, soon I'll be taking Banzai's route.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Your B pillar chunky yeah? I've found the B pillar in the Jetta is chunky. Have to triple check at times.

[Habit7]

I find that A4 makes you feel very snug and cosy in your seat while still being roomy.
