1) Bad-*** Mod (crazy amount of time spent for sure)
2) Are you powersliding an AWD or does it just look like that?

Not sure which is more bad-*** car or the slides...

When my tires are cold it goes sideways with AWD,
even though I do not want it..


If I modify my car to rear wheel drive then it goes sideways all the time,
I've tried it once, but it was no fun when tires purrs as soon as you touch the gas pedal.

Martin, I really enjoyed the videos and want to complement your Audi. Ambitious build, amazing execution. I can't eat dinmer because jaw is on the floor!

I love watching the sports cars spin out and the Audi holds its line. Impressive driving skill.

I have a building thread that updates every day and today when I post this it is 145 pages long,
but only a little text on first page is in English the rest is in Swedish, but you have a lot of pictures to look at..
Here it is:

Unfortunately, I got a fire under my car this year, so now is the car to be rebuilt = easier and faster than ever.
You can view pictures and movies about the fire on the following pages here:

Just read your whole resja thread with Google Translate! Awesome work Shame about the fire, but better, faster stronger!

Thought this might help with your power steering:



This is the Peugeot / Citroen pump mounted in the passenger footwell of my S8-powered A4 STW replica. I've not driven it yet, but it steers round the workshop fine Its quite loud, but in a track car won't be a problem.

Did you read my whole thread on only one day?

I will mount it in the rear of my car so I need to have a pump that is capable of long hoses, and I do not want it to sound too much because I drive my car to and from the track and it can take hours to drive.

A round rubber lid behind passenger top fell off?? It was only 1 year old, but it was an aftermarket "noname" lid.

Two days Hurt my back so since I couldn't work on my car I read about yours instead I learned many useful things, including to stop thinking about turbocharging my S8!

I couldn't say whether this pump would work in the back, but there are a couple of builds on Motorgeek where people have used the MR2 pump mounted in the rear. I wonder if you could build a sound-proof enclosure for it? I'm not sure how hot it gets though - I've not run it for long enough.
