[Tangles]

Nice work matey!! Love your style.

mine is costing over $7,000. the bottom end should be capable of 700-800hp i would guess specially with the inturnals they have put in it. with the proper bold on mods etc. but thats just a guess at the moment. running around 18psi i have been told that i possibly make 300-320rwkw

[chops]

hey tangles, im getting the motor in the 260 rebuilt at the moment, to make a short story its costing me about $5500. Oh and cos i dont get it back for about a month i got bored and bought a 97 RS4 from nsw, should get it friday!

You're a madman Ben - I like your style.

Rebuild due to "issues" or purely precautionary?

You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me?

chops the engine rebuild was due to the car dropping the bottom.

danderman4 not too sure where they got the engine machining work done but ill find out, i have asked 1 guy(1 of the apprentices) and he wasnt exactly sure.

the build from bottom up is that i can remember:

sump baffle kit

new oil and water pumps

gates timing belt

acl race series bearings, pistons(20 thou over), rings and gasket kit

eagle h beam rods

aero speed cam gears

new complete engine hose kit

new head bolts

work which was done on the head and block(not sure what was done off the top of my head what they did)

thats about it that i can remember for now. i know there is still 2 engine mounts getting done and the abs unit is getting replaced

Ha ha! Thanks chops!

Rebuild is due to issues, basic issue being i blew a turbo seal and it syphoned all the oil out of the motor and did in the bottom end! Not happy, but what can ya do, atleast it will be built stronger and i will know what condition the motor is in!

Got my RS4 on the weekend, not in bad nick, needs a few things cleaned up but isnt bad for the price i got it for. Now i realise the difference between an RS4 and a 260RS though...lol, funny how they dont go aswell with only one turbo! lmao!

[kralster]

He's all good,

In fact i've seen no one from victor for ages.

Ha ha, that ignis is deadly across a set of traffic lights, you should see the look on commodore drivers faces when you pull away faster than them! ba ha ha ha!

[Madaz]

hows the RS4 going have you drifted it on the dirt bit near your house

[GRIM_R32]

Ha ha, no drifty's yet, its still cleanish so i stick to the bitumen, once its ready for a wash ill go for a spin on the dirt!

Not going to bad otherwise, considering its an auto 25 that is! lmao! Will feel funny when i get the 260 back!

[Turbz_13]
