  1. give you an idea get rid of the RS4 and buy urself a cheap 260rs . LOL Kidding. It alls boils down too how much are you willing to spend on the car. ASnd whats your target Kw that you want. It all depends on you. But i think for starters like wat other guys said to me when i first joined the forum is full exhaust system and intake. then suspension then RB26 swap (ooppps!!) . It dpends on $$ you have too. i hope this will steer you in the right direction. you want the car to look and sounds loud? or look std? ETC
  2. I know you dont work for castrol Sk. Well about oils i guedd its just what you beleive in. If you beleive castrol thats fine. Like some people prefer VB and some Carlton. You know hat i mean. But im just passing info from people that i spoke too to let the forum knows. But i guess i will stick with my Mobil1 for now.
  3. Are they any synthetics for Kendall? Before i got my car tuned by race pace i was using Mobil1 15w-50 which is actually a ,motorbike's oil. Ben from racepace put in Castrol Edge 10w-60. I never liked Castrol. And when i called the Mobil Distributor and spoke to the lubricant specialist at mobil. He said that Mobil and Castrol oils works very differently. If a car had been using castrol oil since new and had done 100,00km on the speedo and you switch to Mobil oils the engine will shit itself. Why?castraol oils does not absorb the carbons in the engine. Castrol oils actually leaves the carbon deposit in the engine so that the oil stays cleaner therefore better protection. Mobil oil actually absorbs more of the carbons therefore your engine is cleaner. (dont shoot me for this as im just repeating the lubricant specialists comments about castrol). Also when i spole to the Oz distributor for Royal purple (off the records he says) Castrol edge 10w-60 is not a true 10w-60. Irs actually more like 10w-45or 50 when its operating at high temp. Mobil 1 came out with 15w-50 for cars now with added compund that reduces friction in it. I can get it at $72/5ltr drum. If you guys are running high powered Rbs then i think you guys should use 15w-50 at the very least. At least thats wat i got the impression from Ben in Racepace but he preferes 10w-60 though. I think i will be sticking with Mobil one although Amsoil is $75/5ltr srum+freight. Very tempting
  4. Where can you get Kendall and how much? How much was the Amsoil?
  5. yea diffenitely get a full exhaust system done including a high flow cat. then the intake. Thasts wat the biys in this forum recommended me when i first joined the forum
  6. hmm i will feel for it next ime when i start the engine.
  7. have you guys heard of royal purple or Amsoil? I heard they are really good better than mobil or motul.
  8. LOL yea they are the saeme. BTW when did Bp bought Castrol? I thought Castrol is an brits company?
  9. How wrecked is it?
  10. ohh shoot!!wat have i done. think blue ocean and ice cold beer!!! BTW have anyone used the nulon's stuff? As in engine oil?
  11. how rear driver door interior trim how much are they? thanks
  12. lol agree with Luke there. I think it will be easier that way and see first wats its like before you really do it. A hippos head on a cheetahs bodu huh
  13. So wat you r getting a 260Rs? :sorcerer:
  14. Cool. there you guy on mobil 1. Yea i noticed that Mobil1 will beed topping up only like probably abit only. Its just under the full on the oild dip stick for every 5000km.
  15. may i suggest while you are at it, add in nulon diff treatment to the transfer case. I added everyting on mine except the engine and power sterring for the diff treatment and its much smoother.
  16. just thought of reviving this thread Just want to know what oils you guys use for the engine ? What pric you paid for it? ANd wat spec (eg : 10w-40 ETC) As you guys know im currently using Castrol 10w-60 and they costs like $72/5ltr from autobarn in the melbourne city. I can get Mobil1 15w-50 for abit less like $72 if i remember correctly.
  17. thats a nice looking ride man
  18. anybody else tried the boost 98 recently?
  19. ohh ok i will check my local autobarn and compare. COs the last time i checked the Castraol edge was about $72/5ltr. But i will double check again.
  20. Hi Lee, thats pretty good price for a 5 ltrs ones. Is it synthetic? Where di you get it from? My bro said that Motul are damn expensive thats why hes switching back to Mobil1. let me know. Theres another oil that im in interested Amsoil which costs about $75/5ltr. So....
  21. How much did you get your motul for? Wat specs? Curious to know. I mean mobil 1 for $82/5ltr is a bit dear. Probably i can get it a few bucks cheaper.
  22. Did you get Mobil 1? $82?! Thats abit dear which viscocity did you get?
  23. hmmm errr try typing a few helium ballans onto your lead footed!! LOL that might help a little. It also largely depends on your driving style as well.
  24. i get like 170km in a little over quater tank mostly high way driving
