Default New Angstrom Wheels Pics.

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted. I wanted to show you some of the recent wheels that we have completed for customers with a brushed finish and the last picture showing a paint matched silver from an 04' S4. All of Angstroms wheels have been redesigned for detail and also the center caps have been changed over to an engraved cap.

It's been a long road for this company, and quite honestly things have not always worked out as planned. Angstrom has been striving for quite some time ironing out all the problems with previous manufacturers. At angstrom, quality is our most important goal. We are now looking at 4-6 week turnaround times. We appreciate how supportive and patient many of you guys have been to us. To me, the Audi community is what actually brought about Angstrom. As you can tell below, my Audi is heavily modified. =) Thank you for the continuing support guys!

Default Car is running great ..

Need to hit the dyno again soon and will goto the drags to get a timeslip.

I've got a spare motor now and i've started collecting parts for a 1.9L buildup similar to yours with Pauter Rods, JE 8.5:1 and maybe solid lifters.

But that project is still a long way off. I'm pretty happy with the power it's putting out on the stock motor for now. Lucas and Euroclass have done an excellent job tuning it. I wish there was an APR Stage3/3+ car in Australia for me to race!!

Default Any reason for going with solid lifters?

Because the stock ones are good for about 8k rpms.

Default Re: Any reason for going with solid lifters?

Thats prety obvious I would have thought.

Solid lifters are rated to 9000rpm - which with GT35R means a VERY wide power band.

Having been in Lucas's car now with the solid lifters I would say they are a must have mod if you are shooting for not only big power - but a big power band.

Its no good having 400+WHP if its between 5000rpm &amp; 7500rpm - thats way to narrow.

Install solid lifters - set the rev limit at 8500rpm (or thereabouts) and have a bullet proof screamer with a good power band.
