Not sure I can do that cuz it can only be triggered by the ABS system

Apparently there are decelerometers in the ABS that detect a panic stop and trigger the emergency braking lights. I'll look into it though. The only way to see them might be to tailgate me... ;-)

From my experience with the R8 at Hockenheimring this summer, if

the ABS (or ESP) engages, the emergency flashers are activated.

i wonder if the strobing feature could be somehow

be retrofitted into an earlier audi like a b5, and act the same way it does on the r8, strobe in emergency braking situations.

ps. that is one sexy car!

Not sure...

But, Lambo transmissions are made by Graziano and I assume the same for the R8:<ul><li><a href="http://www.grazianotrasmissioni.it/html/x0Bx/01.00.00.html">http://www.grazianotrasmissioni.it/html/x0Bx/01.00.00.html</a</li></ul>

mods part numbers / prices

Ghost - I am set to take delivery in Jan (god willing) and would like to do many of the same mods (why can't we get the good stuff like they get over there!)

can you give us a list of the part numbers and prices (and install) to bring it up to euro spec?

any plans to get the euro sport seats?

take care and thanks for all the posts....Eric
